COLUMBIA MILLS
MAY CLOSE DOWN
Unless Coal Held in Yards Is
Released Operations
Will Cease

Columbia, Pa, Dec. 6.-Columbia
is beginning to feel the effect of the
strike of the soft coal miners. The
supply at nearly all of the industries
is getting low, particularly at the iron
mills.
The situation at the plant OF the
Janson Steel and Iron Co., Is sueh
that it will be necessary to close
down this evening unless the Gov
ernment releases coal, three car
loads, consigned to them and stand
ing in the railroad yard. The GOV
ernment's order to the local railroad
officials is not to deliver the COAL
but hold it for further orders.
The Edwards mills are also run,
ming short of coal. At the one mil
the supply Will probably last a week
or ten days. while at the other there
was Just enough coal on hand TO
run the plant to-day. In the last
few days the Government has selzed
% carloads of Edwards coal, caus-
ing the shortage at his mills.
While the supply of both iron
companies is low there may be
change within the next IL or "a
hours should the Government re
lease the coal now being held prob
ably to be diverted to more essen
tial' industries.

LEGION POST TO
DRIVE FOR HOME
Organization at Linglestown
Plans an Entertainment to
Raise Fund For Building

Linglestown Post. No. 272. Ameri-
can Legion, is carrying on an ag-
sressive campaign to raise funds for
tie purpose of providing a perma-
nent home for the post. 1t is felt
by the members that the work of
the post will be very much handi-
capped until a meeting place can be
secured which will offer some in
ducement to the boys to come out to
the various meetings.
With this in view the entertain
ment committee has arranged an ex-
cellent program which will be rem
dered at the Linglestown Union
Chapel on Saturday evening, Decem-
ber 13. Tickets have been placed on
sale for this entertainment, and the
advance sale points to crowded
house.
The entertainment will consist of
readings and musical numbers. The
readings will be given by Miss Sarah
Shreiner, a former resident of Lin
glestown, but now living in Philadel-
phia. Miss SchreinerS readings
have always proved popular in Lin
glestown. During the war she
worked in Philadelphia and New
Jersey under the auspices of the
War Camp Community Service, and
her readings were enjoyed by thou
sands of the boys in the service.
For the musical side of the pro-
gram the committee has been very
fortunate in being able to engage
Miss Jean Rauch and Miss Frances
Hamilton, of Harrisburg, who so
delightfully."- entertained the audience
at the celebration of Armistice Day.
Mrs. Wetheroth and the Misses
Fishburn, of Linglestown; Miss Kath-
ryn Speas, of Penbrook; Miss Mar
ion Smith. of Linglestown; Mrs.
Frank Walters, of Harrisburg, and
DR.. e. r. Rhein and family have
been invited to give musical selec-
tions.
In addition to this array of musi-
caA talent, pressure is being brought
to bear upon some of the members
of the post and it is possible that
one or two more or less (most!y
less) humorous numbers will be pre-
sented for the approval or disap-
proval of the audience.
