2 MILLS IN EAST PENNA. OPERATE WITHOUT LOSS Strike at Coatesvillc Is Only Exception in This Sec tion of State Philadelphia, Sept. 23. With a single exception there was no evi dence early to-day of a strike in the score or more steel plants in Philadelphia and other eastern Pennsylvania cities. The excoption was at Coatesville where approximately 400 men out of 6,000 employed by the Midvale and Lukens Steel Companies re main away from work. Officials of both plants said last night they were operating as usual and that produc tion would not materially be reduc ed unless more workmen quit. Pickets were out at both mills, but there was no disorder. Normal conditions were reported by the Midvale Steel and Ordnance Company, the Pencoyd Iron Works and the Baldwin Locomotive Works in this city. Employers declared that the proportion of organized steel workers in the Philadelphia plants is small and that no cessation of work here is anticipated. Similar reports were received from the steel and iron plants in Read ing, the Eastern Steel Company at Pottsville, the Steelton plant of the ■Bethlehem Steel Company and the steel and wire mills at Allentown, Oatnsauqua, Hacungle and Topton. Officials at all these plants said they were operating as usual and that there were no indications of a strike. Employes of the Reading Iron Company at Danville, numbering more than 500, voted to live up to their agreement with the company. The agreement does not expire until July, 1920. Union employes of the Bethlehem Steel Company at Allentown have decided not to participate in the strike, pending action on a request for a conference with officials of the company. Normal conditions were reported at all the steel plants in and adja cent to Wilmington. Del.

Mr. Foster's claims were not borne out by reports coming from the Carengie Company and from in dependent steel company sources. The situation is improved, was the flat declaration of a representative of the Carnelgie Company. "We have more men going to work at Homestead," he said, "and our re ports show additional men are com ing back at other plants of the company." Situation Better It was said by a company repre sentative that the situation at the Carrie furnaces at Rankin was bet ter than yesterday. One blast fur nace was put in operation to-day and another expected to do the same to-night. At certain points in Western Pennsylvania outside the Pittsburgh district strike conditions while not bad were not as good as they were in the vicinity of Pittsburgh it was said in corporation sources. This, was due, it was further said, be cause police protection for men who wnnted to go to work was not as adequate as it was in and near Pittsburgh. Few disorders were reported in the earlier hours of the day except at Farrell, in the northwestern part of the State near the Ohio line. Rioting occurured there last night and one man was shot and killed and a number of others were in jured bv bullets, including a State Trooper. Sporadic rioting also oc curred there to-day, it being report ed that a number of persons were wounded in shooting affrays. Women Arrested Three women were arrested at McKeesport to-day for alleged at tempts to intimidate men who re fused to go on strike. One of the women was atttred in men's cloth ing. One of the women is alleged to have thrown a bucket of water on •i loyal workman when he refused 'o listen to her plea not to go to, work. When a patrolman came to ihe man's rescue, the officer was meared with a bucket of whitewash it was alleged. J. L Reaghen, of Pittsburgh, vice -irestdent of the Pittsburgh Central Union, and John Patterson, of Chicago, vice-president of the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen, 'wo union organizers, arrested yes terday, were fined $lOO and costs on a charge of disorderly conduct and violating a city ordinance, in McKeesport police court. "Getting Good Break" The Monongahela Valley plants in Donora and Monessen remained hut down to-day. No attempt was made to work. More than 12,000 men are out ip Monessen and ap proximately 5,000 are out of work at Donora. The Second avenue plant of the National Tube Company in this city did not resume operations to-day, about 2,200 men being idle. Only 100 laborers showed up for work. "We are getting a very good break," said an official of the Car negie Steel Company to-day, in giv ing an authorized summary of the rituatton in the Pittsburgh district o far ns it relates to that.corpora tlon.

Foreigners Coming Back "A most encouraging feature is that a number of the foreign ele | ment returned to work this morn ing. This relieves the situation at the Carrie furnucestln Rankin, where it is hoped to start one of the fur naces during the day. Other depart ments of the Homestead plant are operating and In every instance there are at least as many men working as yesterday. There is a noticeable increase in the number of men in the general labor de partment. The Americans are stick ing to their work to a man, and there is absolutely no disorder. "The Edgar Thomson works con tinue to operate and more men re ported for work here than yester day. The open hearth, too, is In better shape. This plant reports that quite a few of the foreign speaking men have returned to work this morning. • "All told the situation in the Monongahela, where our four big mills are located, is considerably improved and is encouraging." The Carnegie Steel Company, largest subsidiary here of the Unit ed States Steel Corporation, has closed several of its plants in the district, but according to an official of the concern, the situation is im proving. Disorders, some of a serious na ture, marked the first day of the strike in the Pittsburgh district. Two men were killed at Farrell, Pa., one during a clash between State Police and local officers and a crowd of about 1,500 persons, near the American steel and wire plant. The other victim was murdered by a fellow boarder when he is said to have refused to go on strike. Two Troopers Shot Two State Troopers were shot during the Farrell outbreak, while seven persons were struck by bul lets during a clash between mill guards and a crowd at New Castle, Pa. Other disorders occurred in the district and many persons were slightly wounded. One man was killed, two State Troopers were shot and many other persons less seriously injured last night in an outbreak at Farrell. The fight occurred near the American steel and wire plant, when, it is said, members of a crowd threw bricks and other missiles at the State Po lice and local officers. Paul Prouse died as the result of a bullet wound received during the melee. Private Frank Millignn and Sergeant Smith, State Troopers, were struck hy bul lets and the former is in a serious condition. * Arrest Klcvcn Disorders, so much feared by po lice authorities in the steel strike zone, were in evidence in several places in the Pittsburgh district. During a melee in front of the zinc plant of the American Steel and Wire Company at Donora early last evening, one man was shot and slightly wounded. Other persons suffered minor bruises. Riding into a crowd at an en trance of the Carnegie Company's plant at Homestead, after it had re fused to disperse. State Troopers last night arrested eleven men and turned them over to the Homestead police. Another outbreak occurred short ly afterward in Homestead, where a large crowd ussembled. The State Police charged and, it is alleged, used their sticks freely. Several men suffered bruises, but none was se riously hurt, I yogion Is Loyal Two men were slightly injured in an early outbreak at the entrance to the Farrell, Pa., plant of the American Steel and Wire Company during the change of shifts. The two men were attacked by a crowd of about 2,000 persons. The trouble was quelled by mill guards and bor ough police. The tirst fatality to result from the steel strike occurred last night when Alexander Russ, of Farrell, was killed by a fellow boarder be cause he had not struck. The East Liberty Post of the American Legion last night adopt ed a resolution declaring that if the necessity arises it will offer its services to the proper authorities to aid in maintaining law and or der. Two New Troops An early survey of strike condi tions in Carnegie Steel Company plants in the immediate vicinity of Pittsburgh, said an official of the company showed no material change from that of last night. It was stated that conditions at the Homestead plant were improving and that more men were reporting. At Duquesne, the company representatives said, the plant was working 100 per cent. The company had no early reports from outlying sections, it was said. Six arrests of men found loitering about the Jones and Laughlin plant counting the workers as they came out, police said, were made early. They are said to have refused to move on when ordered. It was learned to-day that two full troops of State Police, about fifty each, have been ordered from the eastern part of the State to the wes tern part of Pennsylvania. One of the troops will operate out of Greens burg and the other out of Butler, the headquarters of the two troops permanently located in this section of the State. William Z. Foster, secretary of the steel workers national commit tee, said to-day reports from men in the field showed that the strike was spreading. He said his reports showed that the Homestead works of the Carnegie Company were prac tically "dead." Mr. Foster said he had a telegram from Birmingham, Ala., stating that 4,000 men are out there. This, he said, was pleasing because the union had not expected to make as good a showing there as the telegram in dicated. • Orders have gone out, Mr. Foster further said, to "pull out" the men in all the plants of the Jones and Laughlin Company. Not much effort, he said, had been made to bring the Jones and Laughlin men out j Gompers Names Labor Men For Industrial Confab Washington, Sept. 23.—President Gompers, of the American Federa tion of Labor, announced the names of the fifteen representatives of la bor who are to take part in the in dustrial conference called by Pres ident Wilson to meet here October 6.

Mr. Foster appeared in the Alle gheny county court to-day as a de fendant for alleged violation of an ordinance at Duquesne. He was ar rested several weeks ago. Two More Plants Close Braddock and Rankin plants of the American Steel and Wire Com pany, both of which operated yes terday at decreased capacity, were closed to-day for an indefinite period. These plants employ approximately 10,000 men, including great numbers of foreign-speaking laborers. It was due to the walkout of laborers that the plants were closed. Immediately after the decision to close the plants the company Be gan paying off the men. Owing to the closing of the plants the crowds on the street were greatly augmented in the two towns to-day. The police and State constabulary were having considerable difficulty in keeping the crowds moving. Two arrested were made by the State Police. Continue Operations Although crippled in all depart ments, the Allegheny and West Penn Steel Companies at Brackenridge were operating. Union organizers said fewer men reported for work to-day than yes terday while the company officials declared that a greater number of men appeared. The Allegheny Steel Company officials said that they ex pected to start operation of the bar mill to-day, which was closed yes terday by the strike. Officials of the Homestead Steel Works said that but ten per cent, of the employes had left the plant and that they were all foreign boru. Union organizers declared that the men were continuing to leave the plant and joining the ranks of the | strikers. Several men were arrested for refusing to obey orders of the State Police, at the Duquesne Steel Works, officials stating that the plant was running in full. Fourteen for eigners were arrested for loitering and disorderly conduct.

The burgess of Farrell has forbidden the holding of meetings in the borough. Many shots were fired in the new disturbance to-day. The police say that at least eleven persons were struck by bullets. J. H. Moody, burgess of Farrell, has taken per onal charge of the police in the streets of Farrell. He appealed to Sheriff Gibson at Mercer to send deputy sheriffs here to assist the local authorities and the de tachment of State troopers on dnty. Additional State police, as a result of last night's trouble have been or dered here. Many cases of individual assaults are reported by the police. Alvin Pfelffer, of Farrell, while driving along the street In an automobile was suspected of going to one of the steel plants and was attacked by several persons with stones and sticks. His machine was damaged but he was not badly hurt. Two other men were shut up in the old Mercer county brewing plant, the police said, by strike sympathiz ers to keep them from going to work They were found and released by the police. During the trouble here last night two horses of mounted troopers were shot. Quiet Nearby In Sharon and other nearby com munities all was quiet. All steel and wire mills in this vicinity are closed to-day. not a whistle blowing anywhere.

The shooting here occurred late last night. Crowds had congregat ed on Broadway, the main street, and at the request of the borough authorities, the State police tried to disperse them. Part of the street is being paved and many In the crowds threw bricks and other mis siles at the troopers. Shots were fired and the fire was returned, it is alleged.

Both concerns em ploy between 6,000 and 6,000 men. Good order prevails. The strikers, mostly of unskilled class, are picket ing and the streets In the vl :lnlty of the mills are filled with men. HARRKBURG TELEGRXPH: GARY AND STRIKE LEADER TO BE CALLED [Continued from First Pace.] pressed concern over the general industrial situation. "This strike seems to be the first skirmish in industrial warfare," said Senator Kenyon. "Let us face it and find out the facts." Publicity, Senator Kenyon and other members said, might be help ful. The senator explained that his resolution was in the interest of neither the employers nor employes, but "the great third party—the pub lic." Senator Kenyon announced that the investigation would be begun Thursday and that the first witness would be Chairman Gary, of the United States Steel Corporation and John J. Fitapatrick, chairman of the national committee organizing the steel workers. The Kenyon resolution was en dorsed by Senators Knox, Republi can, Pennsylvania; Owen, Democrat, Oklahoma, and Norris, Republican, Nebraska. Senator Thomas said he did not oppose the investigation, but doubt ed whether it would bring results. Senator Smith, Democrat, South Carolina, said he was concernod that Congress should be called upon to fix industrial relations, believing it tended toward Socialism. Knox Urges Step Senator Knox said that if reports that steel workers on strike were largely foreign born were true, there should be an investigation by Con gress to determine the basis of the government's policy in the future. Senator Thomas said the refusal of Judge Gary to receive represen tatives of the workers was "unjusti fied and unwise," and that the strike was "one of the developments that but American institutions to their supreme test." He said tha tthe Senate investigation would require too much time to be of service. Senator Kenyon said industry was in "a rather ticklish" situation and needed every steadying influence. If reports that 300,000 men are on strike are true, he added. Congress should "not sit idly by and do noth ing." The Senate investigation of the Paint Creek, W. Va., strike several years ago, he said, had stopped the disturbances. "Leaders of the strike and rep resentatives of the steel property owners," he said in conclusion, "can be brought here before the com mittee and we can find out just what the matter is. The day is gone by when either capital or labor has the right to precipitate such conditions on the country." Mahoning Valley Mills Either Closed or Run on Limited Scale Youngstown, Ohio, Sept. 23.—The country-wide steel strike, now enter ing its second day, finds the mills of the Mahoning Valley, Ohio's principal steel center, either com pletely closed or running on a very limited scale. Three large companies. Brier Hill, Republican Iron and Steel, and Sharon Steel Hoop closed complete ly yesterday. They employ about 16,500 men. The Carnegie Steel Company announced its work greatly curtailed and said it would close un less the men return to work. Other companies were able to continue operating some of their mills in a limited capacity. Yesterday's quietude was inter rupted last evening when men were leaving the plant of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company. Approxi mately 500 men cangregated at the main entrance gate, at the plant and engaged in picketing. This pre cipitated trougbe and many blows were struck. The arrival of police and deputy sheriffs armed with riot guns had a quieting effect. Later a few shots were said to have been fired. No one was seriously injured. Bethlehem Steel Heads Have Not Yet Received Ultimatum From Workers New York, Sept. 23. Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of di rectors of the U. S. Steel Corpora tion, continued to-day his policy of silence in regard to the steel strike. Officers of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, the largest independent in the country asserted that no ulti matum had been received from its unionized employes demanding a conference with the executives. Nothing could be learned concern ing the probable attitude of the company in advance of a demand for such a meeting. All the Bethlehem plants are run ning to capacity. Charles M. Schwab, president of the company, will leave this after noon for Chicago, to attend a dinner of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, but it is understood his visit to that city has nothing to do with the labor situation. Private advices received here by men connected with the steel in dustry declared that 21,000 more men were at work to-day in the Pittsburgh district than yesterday. Wilson Feels He Has Done All Possible to End Strike; Will Let It Work Sell Out On Hoard President Wilson's Spe cial Train, Sept. 23.—President Wil son was without official advices re garding the strike of steel workers and It was indicated that for the present he did not propose to inter fere directly. He was represented as feeling that he had done everything possible to prevent the strike, and that the best that could be accomplished now was to maintain order while the situ ation worked Itself out. Much interest was expressed by White House officials, however, in the progress of events as reported in the newspapers. Lebanon Mills Do Not Feel the Strike By Associated press. Lebanon, Pa , Sept. 23. The strike in the steel industry was not felt in Lebanon as puddlers and rolling mill employes have been out since April for increased wages. Threats were made to call out fac tory employes in all departments by Thursday unless demands for in creases are met by the Bethlehem Steel Company, but officials stated the men would remain at work. MANY TRAINMEN OCT Youngs town, Ohio, Sept 23.—Rail road men who conferred with Presi dent W. G. Lee of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen in Cleveland yesterday, were advised that where they have agreements with the steel companies they should continue on duty, but that where no agreement is in effect the majority should :rule. Most of the trainmen, union officials say, already are out Independent Mills Only Are Operating m Chicago; District Engineers May Go By .Issocialed Frjss. Chicago, Sept. 23.—Dawn on the second day of the nation-wide strike in the steel industry found nearly all the plants in the Chicago dis trict either closed down or working with a greatly reduced force. bor union officials predicted that every plant in the district would be closed within a few days Labor leaders asserted to-day that more than 75 per cent, of the workens in the district have left their work, while company officials said the number who failed to re port at the mills was not more than 20 per cent, of the total of nearly 90,000 men employed in the district. In this district the strike has de veloped no violence. At Gary, Ind., guards escorted from the works men who had continued their employ ment and thousands of strikers about the gates did not menace them. Some damage was reported there as resulting , rom failure to draw liquid steel from furnaces. A sympathetic strike of the mem bers of the international union of steam and operating engineers in the Chicago district was regarded as a possible addition to the ranks of the steel mill workers who walk ed out. Engineers at Gary, who left their work yesterday, reiterated statements that they would remain out. On the other hand H. M. Co merford, secretary of that union, declared "even if this union has a personal grievance it would not strikei in the face of a repuest mada by the President of the United States that no action be taken until after he had opportunity to confer with the various parties to the con troversy on October 6." Mr. Comerford reviewed the atti tude of the engineers' locals in vari ous steel zones. At Waukegan, Ills., and Youngstown, and Stubenville, Ohio, he said, the men are willing to work but the mills have been closed by the companies. At Gary, Ind., and Joliet, Illinois, certain radicals have ignored the interna tional officers' directions to remain at work, he said, and cannot be con trolled. Throughout the entire Pittsburgh and Pueblo, Colo., district, Mr. Co. merford added, the engineers have remained at work. Two Troopers Hurt and Four Horses Shot, Capt. Lumb Announces Captain George F. Lumb, acting Superintendent of the State Police, stated to-day that corrected reports showed that Corporal Raymond Laughlln had suffered a fracture of the skull and that Private Frank Mtlligan had been shot in the eye at Farrell. Laughlin comes from Centralia and Milligan from Avoca. Both are members of D troop, But ler. Milligan will lose his eye, but Laughlin is probably not seriously hurt. Four State Police horses were shot in the melee. Calls on Fraternal Order of Police to Stick Pittsburgh, Sept. 23. William J. Milten, grand president of the Fraternal Order of Police, with headquarters in this city, to-day sent letters to all lodges of the or der calling upon the members to use every means within their power "to. uphold and enforce the laws of the nation, State and municipality at this time of unrest in our coun try," as they are obligated by their oath of office. Mr. Milton asks that the officers enforce the laws "impartially under all circumstances." The Fraternal Order of Police has lodges in 2 6 cities. It is an inde pendent union, not affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Gary Gets Morgan's Approval of His Stand on Strike Now York, Sept. 23.— J. P. Mor gan. in a cablegram from London to Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corpora tion, heartily approves of his open shop stand and urges the steel cor poration to be firm in its attitude. The cablegram is as follows: "Heartiest congratulations on your stand for the open shop, with which I am, as you know, abso lutely in accord. I believe American principles of liberty are involved and must win out if we all stand firm." SCHUYLKILL VALLEY QUIET Reading, Pa., Sept. 23. Com plete survey to-day in this end of the Schuylkill Valley, with many steel plants, rolling and other mills, shows a complete absence of labor disturbances or strikes related to the general strike called in the Pitts burgh and Chicago districts. All plants are in operation, some of them on double turn. Prospects are that the middle western shut downs will divert orders to plants in this district. SWEAR IN DEPUTIES Steubenvillo, 0., Sept. 23. Five hundred deputies were sworn in to day to maintain order at the Weir ton, W. Va., plant of the Weirton Steel Company across the river from here, yhich is the only plant of the Steubenville district operating. No ptrangers are now allowed to enter the town, which is company prop erty. Strike leaders at local head quarters stated to-day that railroad men operating cars in the Weirton yards withdrew this morning. SWITCHMEN OUT Ruffalu, N. Y„ Sept. 23. Dis turbances which began in the vicin ity of the Lackawanna Steel Com pany's plant last night were con tinued this morning. A master me chanic was set upon by a crowd and severely beaten. A riot call brought out the police and two men were arrested charged with rioting. Switchmen on the South Buffalo railway to-day quit work when or dered to move cars into the Lacka wanna Steel Company's yards. CLAIMS DISPUTED Cleveland, Sept. 28. Claims of union officials that 25.000 men were Idle here to-day in the strike of steel mill workers, an increase of five thousand over their estimates of yesterday, were disputed by steel mill officials, who deny that the walkout is as complete as.union of ficials claim and contend that ac tual strikers do not number more than 40 per cent of the union figures. OPERATE WITH SMALL FORCE Gary, Ind., Sept. 23.—Several de partments of the United Statos Steel Corporation were being operated to day with small fcures. Union repre sentatives declared that 95 per cent, of the men employed by the corporation are out Company of i flctals decline to make any state- STRIKERS QUIET AT WAYNESBORO Work May Be Besumctl in Plants in Factory Town Tomorrow Waynesboro, Pa., Sept. 23.—The strike situation is quiet here to-day. Warned by their leaders to respect the deputies sworn in by Sheriff Enos H. Horst, the strikers have re frained from violence. It was said to-day that work may be resumed in the closed plants to-morrow, al though this notice was not official. Business mon of Waynesboro, keenly alive to the seriousness of the situation, prevailed upon the manu facturers to confer with them on the situation in the hope that the trouble might end and work go ahead as before at the borough's industrial plants.. The firmness which the Franklin county authorities took hold of the situation has had much to do with quieting the situation. All day yesterday the Sheriff's deputies were on duty on the streets, but they found no infraction of law. Constable Walter Klipp, Cham bersburg, yesterday, was in Way nesboro serving warrants on a num ber of men who were implicated in the trouble at the local plants the 15th and 19th of this month. Eighty-six warrants were served in all. Sixty-five of these were for the trouble on the 10th, while the other 21 warrants were for of fenses committed on the 19th. The charges are assault and battery and riot. The Landis Machine Company, following the labor disturbance here, has secured an option on ten acres of land in Hagerstown, for a contem plated new plant. It also is consid ering a location in Lancaster. A committee composed of President J. J. Oiler and Directors W. L. Miniclc and J. G. Moornaw, went to that city yesterday to look over a site and proposition offered by that city. It is not believed a definite move in either direction will be made if the effort now in progress by leading cit izens to syttle the local strike is successful. Three of New Castle Injured Are Likely to Die, Following Riot 3y Associated Press, Now Castle, Pa., Sept.

BURGLARS STEAL > CASH AND BONDS Get Loot Amounting to $5,500 From Safe in Lancaster Department Store Lancaster, Pa., Sept. 23.— Thieves got' $3,500 in cash and $1,500 in Liberty Bonds after they had blown open the safe in the office of the department store of Leinbach & Co., in North Queen street, this city. Goods of all description, including much silk wearing apparel valued ut more than $5OO, also wore taken. How the burglars gained entrance to the store is not known by the police. Every window and door was securely locked at closing time, and in the morning, when two workmen of the store came to sweep the floors everything seemed intact. When they reached the third floor rear, where the office is located, the dis covery made that the safe had been blown open. Several clues are being run down by the police de partment. It is their belief that the work was thoroughly planned in ad vance and that out-of-town robbers are the guilty parties. Soldier Reported Dead Expects to Be Home Soon Columbia, Pa., Sept. 23.
