STEEL INDICTMENTS
QUASHED IN OHIO
Youngstown Corporations Win
Against Price Company Charge.

Youngstown, Ohio, March 2S.-Judge
". S. Anderson to-day granted the mo-
ton to qussh indictments recently re-
turned here against five steel compa-
MES charging them with conspiring 20
TX the price of labor and steel prod.
ucts. Indictments against the Onited
States Steel Corporation and +. h.
Gary. head of the corporation, still
stand. as the motion to quash did not
include these two defendants, on whom
service has not been secured. The
steel company attorneys attacked the
indictments as being too indefinite and
uncertain, depriving the defendants OF
their constitutional rights.
The companies in whose behalf the
motion TO quash was made are the Re
public Iron and Steel Company, the
Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company,
the Youngstown Iron and Steel Com
psny, the Brier Hill Steel Company and
the Carnegie Steel Company. The lat
ter is a subsidiary of the United States
Steel Corporation, and with the indlct-
ments returned against the corporation
and Gary identical in form and intent
with those against the others, II is as
sumed by lawyers that the Gary and
United States Steel indictments will be
dropped.
The offences charged were alleged TO
have been committed during a strike
of steel workers in this city in Janu-
ary. when a virtually simultaneous
wage advance of 10 per cent was an
n5unced by the various defendant COM
panies.

Patrolman McAvoy put out the blazing

to the fire. John Whalen. driving the
ambulance, ran down eight-year-old
Annie Steinert while hurrying to take
Lerken for his second ambulance ride.
DR.. Smith picked up the child, and,
finding she was not injured, carried
her home and ordered Whalen TO
drive on.
Eventually Lerkin reached the hos
pital. and stayed there. Firemen fought
the blaze in the laboratory for half
an hour
