STEEL STRIKE
UTTERLY FAILS
Pittsburgh District Mills Oper
ating 84 Per Cent, Despite
Coal Walkout
Pittsburgh, Nov. 25. Complete!
failure of the steel strike, which ;
started 10 weeks ago, and a loss of
almost 130,000,000 in pay to the
strikers, is shown by figures given
out by operators of mills in the Pitts- ■
burgh district, the center of the steel
industry in the United States. Plants 1
here are now turning out 84 per
cent ol" their normal production be
fore the strike despite the fact that ,
many of the mills have been unable i
' to resume operation because of the
walkout of coal miners.
Iteports of mills that have reopen- j
ed, with close to their full force of
employes at work, come in daily. ;
l,ess than 10 per cent of 162,474 men. j
who either answered the strike call
or were forced out of Work by the I
shutdown of the plants affected by I
the walkout, are still idle. Many j
workers, formerly employed in other i
industries, have come to this dis- >
trict and are filling the places of 1
those who have not as yet returned I
to their furnaces There is still a ;
shortage of 30,000 common laborers j
in the plants, but as this is a con- i
dition that existed prior to the j
strike it will not prevent the mills J
from reaching their capacity out
put of pre-strike times.
10,000 Cambria Men Back
Evidence that even in the most
rabid strike districts the men are
rapidly returning to work was given
to-day, when the Cambria Steel
Company of Johnstown, started oper
ation of another furnace in its
Franklin plant, making a total of ,
live now in full blast. When the
gates to the Cambria plants swung
open this morning 1,000 more men
were put to work than left the mills
Saturday afternoon. This brings the
number of strikers who have re- |
turned to work in the plants of this
company up to 10,000. The Cam
bria mines last week, operators esti
mate, produced about 00 per cent of
their weekly output before the walk
out.
Increased operation of plants is j
promised for this week. The Cam
bria company's blooming mill, which
rolls out great ribbons of steel, will
resume to-day, while the Gautier
mills will be running to-morrow.
Wheeling, W. Ya., is the only large
center that is still completely tied*
up. This is not due to unwilling
ness on the part of the strikers to !
go back to work, for they have
voted in favor of ending the walk
out, but the large steel companies
.own and operate their own cool
mines and, as a result, cannot reopen
their mills until the coal controversy
is settled.
Many foreigners Depart
Thousands of foreign workmen
who left their posts in the mills
September 22 have returned to their I
native countries, it is said. To off
set this total loss of available labor
operators have imported many
Mexicans and negroes to do the
heavy unskilled work which had
been performed by these men.
In the 10 weeks of the strike seven
lives were lost in rioting and other
disturbances: several hundred men
were injured; property damage '
amounted to {153,150 and the steel j
companies' loss, which is bused on j
tonnage figures given by the strike j
committee, the only estimate obtain- •
able, rtvtched {250,000.000.
Easterday Widely
Sought in Million
Dollar N. Y. Theft
Now York. Nov. 25.—The police |
authorities throughout the country 1
and even abroad have been askedl
to search for W. W. Easterday, who j
John T. Pooling. assistant district j
attorney, says is head of the gang !
of bond thieves responsible for the j
theft of securities worth more than j
{1,000,000 in the Wall street district j
in the last few months. Further |
evidence that Easterday is the mas- j
ter mind behind the wholesale lar- j
eenies was revealed yesterday j
through an examination of the j
books of the firm of Sullivan & Co., j
at 10 Wall street.
"We are becoming more and more I
convinced that Sullivan, Bowles and |
the others were merely cogs in the
machine, and that they moved as I
Easterday directed," 51 r. Doullng i
said.
8,000 CAPTURED AT OMSK
Washington, Nov. 25. Eight
thousand persons, incuding families
of anti-Bolshevik army officers,
were taken prisoners in the recent
capture of Omsk by the Bolshevik
forces, the State Department was
advised.
Havoc was wrought in Omsk by
shcllfire and magazine explosions, it
was said. Thousands of people are
without food or homes.

It's Verij Pleasant to Grvet Santa in One of These
Negligees or Robes
r*
Some of them have come M/ay from the Orient to make
milady happy on Christmas moqning. They are of silk and in
many instances richly embroidered .in the cherry blossom's or
chrysanthemums so dearly beloved of the Nipponese.
American made—and quite as attractive as the Japanese
Robes and Kimonos—are lovely Negligees of crepe de chine.
Collars and soft flounces falling from their sleeves are of self
colored georgette. A great variesty of tints assures gift seek
ers of a wide choice. Also of domestic designing are comfy
Corduroy Robes. Like the negligees, they are very charming,
though quite simple in line.

ateness, these are exhibits that the discriminating will not
want to miss.
