Plants In Rankin and Braddock In-
vaded by Striking Men; Two Jump
Into Monongahela River to Escape.
With the city and interurban car
lines tied up, thousands of machinists
joining the already large army of
striking craftsmen, business of all
kinds at a stanrstill, the Pittsburgh
district is experiencing the greatest
industrial upheaval in years.
With the, strike of 3,100 car men
the street railway system of the city
and its environs became paralyzed.
In the meantime, Pittsburgh is walk-
ing; grumblngly, it is true, but vigor-
ously measuring the miles of pave-
ments that criss-cross the city—that
is those who have no autos and find
the jitneys overcrowded.
Canferences are now being held in
the Fort Pitt hotel between Pittsburgh
business men, newspaper men, trac-
tion officials and representatives of
the car men’s union, looking to a set-
tlement of the strike of the car men.
Angered because workmen in the
various industrial plants in Rankin
and Braddock refused to join their
ranks, 5,000 striking employees of the
allied Westinghouse plants entered
the Edgar Thomson Steel works at
r-add ck, the McoClintic-Marshall Con-
struc ion company, Rankin; the Amer-
can Steel Wire company’s plauts at
Rankin and Braddock and the Stan-
dard Chain works at Rankin, and at-
tacked the employees. Two men, to
save their lives, jumped into the
Monongahela river. Several others
were beaten up. After the strikers
HE second day of the Chautauqua R. P. Shepherd, community effi-
ciency expert, will make two addresses. His afternoon address he
calls “Babies and Folks,” a fascinating presentation in popular words,of the
essential facts of several ologies—biology, embryology, physiological and edu-
cational psychology—with special reference to present changes in school, church
and community programs. Children are urged to be at the tent for this lec-
ture, for babies and boys and girls will be used on the platform to demon-
strate and make personal the “acts presented.

tad terrorized the men they demol-
ished several thousand doliars’ worth
of property. When the Braddock po-
‘ice atien:pted an arrest the strikers
‘urned on them and forced-the officers
to release their prisoners.
The rioting lasted nearly three
hours, when strike leaders finally per-
u~ded. the moeb to disperse. The dis-
d-rs wer» ihe most serious that
save occurred since the Westinghouse
trike was declared two weeks ago.
Practical all downtown barber
shops have sigaed an. agreement to

wWiual. Only four of ‘the downtown
shops have refu:ed to sign and rep-
resentatives of local union No. 20,
Journeymen Barbers,
170 out of the 208 shops in the district
have signed. The new scale calls for
not less than $15 a week with 60 per
cent over $24.50.
Fifty laborers employed at the
Aspinwall filtration plant went out on
a strike because Superintendent
Charles A. Finley of the bureau of
water refused to give them an in-
crease in’ wages. The men receive
$2.10 a day and they are demanding
$2.50 'a day.
One thousand carpenters are on
strike at Akrom,-O., to enforce their
demands for an eight-hour day, 55
cents an hour and the closed shop.

About 2,000 machinists employed
at the various industrial plants of
| Youngstown, 0., are out and a num-
of these plants are operated
in a crippled condition, several being
closed. There is not the slightest
suggestion of disorder, and while the
strikers appear to be determined no
ill-feeling has come to the surface sO
far.
One hundred carpenters employed
by twelve contractors at East Liver-
pool, O., struck when refused an in-
crease from $4 to $4.50 for eight hours.
All bricklayers were granted an in-
crease from $5.20 to $5.60 for eight
hours and the hodcarriers granted an
increase from $2.50 to $3 for eight
hours.
STRAWBERRY CROP BIGGER
Arkansas and Missouri May Ship
2,300 Cars.
Reports received by the department
of agriculture from a representative in
the territory and from railway officials,
growers and shippers indicate more
than 2,300 cars of strawberries may
be shipped from Arkansas and Mis-
souri this season, if prices are such
as to warrant it.
These figures are based in part oD
which this year may have stimulated
heavier buying than usual. There is
gvery evidence that the crop is much
larger than last year and that it is

PRISONERS GO TO ENGLAND
James Connolly, One of Leaders of
Rebellion, Formerly Had Been Edi-
tor of New Castle (Pa.) Free Press.
The remnants of the Sin Feinn rebel
army, which a week ago set out to es-
tablish a “Republic of Ireland,” has
surrendered unconditionally, following
the example of the main body which
succumbed in Dublin a few nights ago
to the government troops after death
and destruction had reigned supreme
in the Irish capital for a week.
One thousand rebel prisoners were
counted in Dublin. Isolated‘groups of
snipers, who held out in their well
hidden haunts long after the capitula-
tion of the main body, surrendered
one by one. Of the 1,000 insurgents
taken in Dublin, 489 have been sent
to England. There were no wounded
among them. Most of them were
young men and boys. They were im-
mediately put aboard a train for pris-
ons in the interior of England.
Sir John French, commander in
chief of the government's force in Ire
land, report~d officially that all the
rebels in Dublin have surrendered,
that the citv is “quite safe” and that
the revolutionists in the country dis-
tricts, too, have accepted the govern
ment’s term of capitulation. {
The rebels in Enniscorthy, who had
made a particularly stubborn stand, |
were the last to give up.
