the striking steel workers at Youngstown
and Girard, Ohio, came to Pittsburg to-day
to ask the Ampgamated Association OF
Iron and Steel Workers TO declare the
strike in Ohio of 80 that they can return

that the strike has long since been lost
and that further holding of Of tho union
men will result in their losing all chance
OF work.
The men met with the Anna lgamated
officials here and were told that the strike
would not be declared of until the national
convention on May 3. Secretary Williams
said the national officers could not declare
the strike off.
The strike at the Ohio mills Of the Carnegie
Steel Company has been on for almost
ten months and was caus ed by the mill
people cutting the wages OF skilled work
men. Within two weeks after the strike
was declared the mills were running over
time with new workmen as II nothing had

IS A CLOSE SHAVE
For Saloons Petition
Now to the Aldermen.
Has Eighteen More Names Than One
Third of Purged Registration Books
and Personal Requests to Board
Will Settle 1t.

The committee on the examination
of the For Saloons" petition finished
their work yesterday, and now the
matter goes to the Board of Alder
men,
The report is that the petition For
Saloons" election has eighteen more
names than one-third Of the purged
registration books and the figures will
be certified to the Board at the meet
ing on the first day of September.
This does not mean that the final
result has been reached in the matter,
for the committee has given notice
that parties who desire to withdraw
their names from the petition or add
to it, may appear before the Board of
Aldermen and make the request in
person. 1t is probable that the figures
will be greatly changed when the
when the Board holds the September
meeting.
The changes made in the registra-
lion books are as follows:
Ward one, division one, so names,
60 off, leaving $50; division two, 209
names, IA off, leaving 1875.
Ward two, division one, 269 names,
IS off. leaving 211; division two, 210
names, off, leaving 204.
WdIu tHIee, ulNlSlOll one, oo5 ndlilcS,
SO off. leaving 2S1; division two 173
names, 20 off, leaving 153.
Ward four, division one, 172 names,
10 off, leaving 1872; division two, 144
names, 26 off, leaving lis.
An interview was had yesterday af-
ternoon with Mr.. n b. Broughton,
acting chairman of the Anti-Saloon
League, and his view of the matter was
asked. For himself he replied that
he did not believe the committee had
any right to revise the registration
books and that the petition to be-
come effective should have on it one
third of the 1926 names on the regis
tration books before these We're purged
and that this would require 09 eligible
names on the petition. In the con-
versation Mr.. Broughton stated that
two years ago when the petition to
vote out the saloons was presented
there was no question about purging
the registration books and that these
We're accepted as a basis as they stood.
Under the resolution of the COM
mittee all persons who desire to take
their names off the petition, as we'll
as those who wish to add theirs to
Aldermen at the first meeting in Sep
tember, which is on the night of Fri
day, the first of September. Then it
Will be that a decision will be reached
as to the committee report and the
of names, thus settling the
petition matter.
