By Associated Press,
Washington, Oct. 9.—An im
mediate industrial truce to con
tinue three months; creation of
an arbitration board by the
President and Congress, and
immediate arbitration of the na
tion-wide steel strike were the
proposals made to-day to the
Industrial Conference here. The
first two were presented by rep
resentatives of the public and
the last by the labor group.
Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of
the public group, made the proposal
for the industrial truce, while Sam- j
ucl Gompers, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor and chair
man of the labor group, proposed
arbitration of the steel strike. Mr.
Gompers' plan contemplated imme
diate return of the steel strikers to
work pending the outcome of efforts
to arbitrate the dispute.
Permanent Board
Gavin McXab, of San Francisco,
proposed a permanent arbitration
board, bis resolution which had the
approval of the public group, pro- :
Mding that ail living ex-Presidents I
be members.
Mr. Gompers' board of arbitration •
of the steel strike would be com- !
posed of six members, two to be ap- i
p'ointed by each of the three groups
in the conference —capital, labor :
and the public.
Mr. Gompers also presented a res
olution embodying eleven funda
mental principles, which he em
phasized had the unanimous ap
proval of the labor group, including
the representatives of the four rail
road brotherhoods.
They were:
Right of*wage-earners to organize.
Right of collective bargaining.
Right of wage-earners to be rep
resented by representatives of its
own choosing in negotiations with
employers.
Freedom of speech, of the press,
and of assemblage.
Right of employers to organize
and bargain collectively.
Minimum eight-hour day with one
day of rest in each week, and with
a half-holiday on Saturday encour
aged and overtime discouraged.
Payment of a living wage.
Women to receive the same pay
as men for eaual work.
Prohibition of labor for children
under 16 years of age.
"To secure a greater share of con
sideration and co-operation to the
workers in all matters affecting the
industry in which they are en
gaged," a national conference board
was proposed to provide for the sys
tematic review of industrial relations
and conditions, the board to consist
of an equal number of representa
tives of employers and workers, hav
ing due regard to the various sec
tions of industry and classes of
workmen. Formation of the board
will be encouraged by the Depart
ment of Labor.
Prohibition of all immigration for
at least two years after the declara
tion of peace and at such times
thereafter as there may be an ab
normal condition of unemployment.
At no time would immigration be
permitted to exceed the nation's
ability to Americanize the incoming
foreigners.

President Wilson
Continues to Hold
Slight Improvement
Washington, Oct. 9. President
Wilson continues to hold the slight j
improvement in liis condition noted I
yesterday, said a bulletin issued to
day by Rear Admirals Grayson and
Stitt, his physicians.
The bulletin follows:
"Wlilte 'House, Oct. 9, 11.30
a. ni.
"While there Is no material
change in the President's con
dition the slight improvement
noted yesterday continues.
(Signed) "Grayson,
"Stitt."
For the first time since lie was
called in a week ago, Dr. Sterling
Rulfin, of this city, was not present
at this morning's consultation. Dr.
Francis X. Dercum, the noted Phila
delphia neurologist, who was sum
moned to Washington when the
President's condition took a turn for
the worse more than a week ago,
probably will sec the President
again Saturday.
The President continued to-day to
have a good appetite and according
to officials at the White House had
a very good night—one of the best
lie has had.
Cool weather was credited to-day
by President Wilson's physicians
with aiding in his recovery, which
has now reached the stage where lie
is able to spend part of his time
sitting up. The unseasonable heat
during Ihe last few days was de
clared to have greatly retarded the
patient's progress, and with the
change he is able to slpep and to
gain more strength from his rest.
The President still was prohibited to
day from doing any work, although
his physicians said he was well
enough to resume the duties of his
office should any emergency arise.
CONDITIONS UNFAVORABLE
By Associated Press.
Chicago, Oct. 9.—Captain Iloag,
commander at Ashburn field, this
morning sent word to the officials
at Bryan field, Ohio, asking all west
hound machines be held there until
further notice because of unfavor
able conditions in Chicago.
AND NOW THE SIX O'CLOCK
WHISTLE BLOWS AT THREE
No More Docs the Workman Knock Off to the Tune of the
Early Evening Siren of Long Ago
The six o'clock whistle is with us
no more! Xo longer do we hear at
the fall of the evening the scream
which sounded so much like the
daughter of our neighbor who is
taking her first singing lesson. For
now the six o'clock whistle blows at
three.
The good old seven o'clock whis
tle still greets some of us as we hurry
to the grind and makes others of us
stir uneasily in bed und wonder what
the—what the reason for such
racket may be. Hut the six o'clock
whistle —ah, there's the rub!
1,000 MORE JOIN FOR
DAYLIGHT SAVING
Names of approximately 1,000
persons begging City Council to
continue daylight saving next
year were received by the Har
risburg Telegraph to-day. A ma
jority of the petitions were
signed in the Hill district.
Men who passed the petitions
declare that they could have se
cured the names of 10,000 men
and women had they had the
time to make a more careful
canvass.
A petition signed by a major
ity of the members of Technical
High School also was received.
Virtually all the instructors and
Dr. Charles B. Fager. Jr., prin
cipal, signed the petition.
EXPERT NAMED
TO SUPERINTEND
TROLLEY SERVICE
C. F. Crane Brought Here to 1
Improve Operation
of Cars
I
Clifford F. Crane, of Geneva, N. j
Y., well-known authority on street j
railway transportation problems, was
to-day named assistant to President
Frank B. Musser, of the Harrisburg |
Railways Company, and placed in j
charge of tlve transportation end ,
of tho company's business. The de- j
cision was made by the board of di
rectors of the company and is ex- [
pected to assist materially in work- j
ing out present and future prob- |
lems which confront the company. 1
Mr. Crane has spent nineteen [
years in the street railway transpor- [
tation business in New York and
Pennsylvania. He had charge of the ,
operating division of the Eastern
Pennsylvania Railways Company and
organized its working system. For [
a number of years, too, he was in j
charge of operations of the Wilkes-
Barre Railways Company.
Mr. Crane will assume his new
duties immediately. All of the de- j
tails of the operating division of the
company will be in charge of Mr.
Crane and he will begin at once j
a study of the company's present
operating system with a view to mak- |
ing certain recommendations and
changes from time to time in order,
that transportation facilities in the
city and towns connected by the
Harrisburg Railways lines will be
improved.
The rerouting of cars made neces
sary by the Capitol Park Extension
and the proposed Memorial Bridge |
at State street will be among the j
first of the large problems to be |
studied by Mr. Crane.
FORCE SUSPENSION
By Associated Press.
Wheeling. W. Va„ Oct. 9.—De
mands of laborers for 72 and 75 cents
an hour and of the engineers for 75
cents an hour, with 12 hours' pay for
eight hours' work and time and one
half for overtime, caused the sus
pension of the Yorkville plant of the
Wheeling Steel and Iron Company
to-day.
This eight-hour, six-hour, or any
old hour day has placed the whistle
which marks the closing time on
a par with the well known will-o'-
the-wisp. Some times it blows at
five, again at four, and if the craze
for nonworking keeps up we may ex
pect to hear the screaming shout of
the siren as we rise from lunch. The
famous old bell of St. Lawrence's

Scoop in Scores of Disturbers
Following Series of New
Outbreaks
By Associated Press.
Pittsburgh, Oct. 9.—A clash be
jtween negro workers and foreign-
I born strikers at Donora to-day. re
sulted in two men being shot and
wounded and a number injured.
The crowd was scattered by the State
Police without serious casualties.
The State Troopers were assisted
by local police and deputies.
According to the Burgess of Do-
Inora there were about 20 in the
attacking party who lay in wait for
I workers going to and from the plant
I here of the American Steel and Wire
Company. When a party of eight
or ten workers, whites and negroes,
! came along they were assailed by
all kinds of missiles. The workers
, fought back and there was some
| shooting. This brought the local
; police and a call was sent in for
Ithe State Troops. The clash lasted
| but a few minutes and it was found
| that two men. alleged to have been
i members of the attacking party,
' were shot in the legs. The men,
after their wounds were dressed,
were arrested.
Many Arrests Made
A number of other arrests were
made, and the Burgess said more
would follow before night. A
thorough investigation is being made
by the borough authorities.
The shooting to-day followed a
number of small outbreaks between
workers and strikers and their
sympathizers, according to the
borough authorities, since the wire
plant resumed operations last Mon
day.
In Monessen, across the Mononga
liela river from Donora, men are said
to be returning to work more rapid
ly. Four plants are in operation
I there since Monday, after a two
j weeks' shut down. No attempt has
I been made as yet to operate the
j Carnegie Steel Company's lioop mil!
or the American Sheet and Tin Plate
iCompany plant at Monessen.
CITY IS SLOW TO
CONTRIBUTE FOR
WAR MEMORIAL
Many Would Write Deeds of
Soldiers Only on the
Sands
"WHAT MEAN THESE
STONES?"
H) the Rev. Dr. ltohert liagneii.
In olden times the Lord instruct
ed the Israelites to set up stones
as a monument of what God did
for them; and when their children
should ask, "What mean these
stones?" the story of God's de
liverance should be told.
We are erecting a monument
that will mean these things for
all time:
1 The heroism of the boys of
Harrisburg in the service of our
country.
2 The gratitude of a people who,
heart and soul, backed their boys
in the great struggle, and who are
profoundly thankful to God that
so many of them have safely re
turned.
3. That God rules; and Liberty
and Democracy are safe in his
keeping.
"It is beginning to look like the
people of Harrisburg will engrave the
brave deeds of this city's soldiers and
sailors upon the sands instead of upon
everiastng tablets," declared a man
to-day who left S2O at Chamber of
Commerce headquarters for the city's
proposed memorial. He had scanned
the list of subscriptions so far re
ceived. The large ledger containing
blank spaces consecutively from 1 to
3,500, was not even beginning to fill
up.
It is true that quite a number of
Harrishurg's men and women have
subscribed S2O and more than S2O for
the memorial, but when it is recalled
that the population of the city is now
in the vicinity of 80,000 the numbpr
of subscriptions received is pitiably
small.
As already told, the Pine Street
Presbyterian Church has subscribed
S2O each for the gold stars on its ser
vice flag. Wilmer and Vincent will
sec to it that each of the stars on the
firm's service flag are covered. Her
culean Lodge, No. 574. B. R. T., will
cover its 40 stars.
These are scattered instances of
what is going on.
Much that is encouraging might
be reported, said headquarters to
day, but the disinterestedness of the
people is so far the big feature of the
campaign.
By this campaign it is proposed to
raise $70,000 with which to erect a
memorial which will endure for all
time. This memorial will be built at
the Thirteenth street terminal of the
new State street bridge. Part of the
proceeds will be devoted, too, toward
the payment of blllc incurred a week
ago last monday, when the welcome
home celebration occurred.
It is requested by the committee
in charge that individuals throughout
the city interest themselves in the
memorial and see to it that in their
blocks subscriptions are taken "cov
ering" the soldiers and sailors from
I that block.

Comiskey Park. Chicago, Oct. 9.
The eighth game of the world's;
championship baseball series will be. |
played here this afternoon, unless
all indications fail. The sun broke 1
through the clouds shortly before i
noon and shone down brilliantly. ;
An extremely high wind sprang 1
up, however, and unless this abates j
at game time, the fielding end of the !
contest will be decidedly uncertain. :
The scene at the ball yard to-day !
appeared more natural for a world's
series. The vast stretches of bleach
ers were more than three-fourths ;
filled two hours before game time [
and a constant stream of humanity
was pouring through the gates. The
pavilion seats were also well oc
cupied.
The Sox emerged from their dug- [
out at 12.55 p. m. and immediately'!
began a spirited fielding and batting j
practice.
The Reds came on the field a min- |
ute later and went through the ,
usual ball passing in front of their
bench.
Faber served up the benders for
the Sox while Williams took his reg
ular position in the batting practice ;
and appeared certain to be Gleason's .
choice in the box.
\\ tllinniN In Twirl
Claude "Lefty" Williams, twice de-I
fcated by the Reds but holding them !
to an aggregate of eight hits in the
two games, was expected to be Glea- I
son's selection for mound duty.
Williams' pitching was of high or
der, but each time he opposed twirl- [
i rs before whom the White Sox heavy i
hitters virtually were powerless. With!
the assertion that "his boys" had re
covered their batting eyes and fight
ing spirit, as was evidenced yester
day and Tuesday when they batted
from the box Reuther and Sallee, who
oyercame them in the first two bat
tles, Manager Gleason was confident
his star left bander would pitch a
comeback game as did Cicotte yes
terday.
Murnii Confident
Manager Moran, while somewhat
surprised that his charges had failed
in two attempts to assume the Na
tional League champions possession
of the 1919 world's championship,
merely pointed to the breaks of the
, game as responsible for what he
termed the "postponement." He
seemed confident to-day would end
I the series, making unnecessary the
I ninth game to-morrow at Cincinnati,
nig Fuller Out
"Red" Faber, hero of the 1917
I world's series, was mentioned as a
; White Sox pitching possibility to-
I day, but the consensus of opinion was
I that Williams would be given the
j honor. Faber is said to have recov
! ered form though he was virtually
I on the retired list all the season.
In their renewed hope that the
| White Sox yet would win the series,
i local enthusiasts began to cast about
' for precedents to fortify them in what
I some others regarded as a rather far-
I fetched desire. •
It was found that the American
League representatives would have
to establish yet another record in this
record-establishing series to be re
turned winners. In no world's series
has a club won four straight games
when its opponents needed but a
single contest. In 1907 Frank
Chance's old Chicago Cub machine
took four straight from Detroit after
the tirst game ended in a tie, the re
search divulged. And four straight
victories by the Boston Nationals over
1 hiladelphia Americans and by the
Boston Americans from the Philadel
phia Nationals after the latter had
taken the tirst game, also were found.
"Can lie Hone"
Regarded as most reassuring in its
value as directly concerning the
White Sox, however, was the record
of the 1912 city series when the Sox.
with their backs to the wall after
the Cubs had taken three straight,
fell on their National League rivals
and won the necessary four games.
That showed it "can be done" some
said.
Few wagers on the outcome of the
series were reported to-day. Prevail
ing odds on the series result appar
ently were 2M to 2 and even money on
to-day's game.
The probable lineup and batting
order follows:
