STRIKERS RETURN
TO THEIR PLACES
PITTsB'RG ELECTRICAL WORKERS
LOSE STUBBORN FIGHT FOR
SHORTER HOURS.

PITTSBURG, May 9.-The strike
OF $4,000 electrical workers and shell
makers of the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing company at East
Pittsburg ended today when there was
a rush of strikers to enter the plants
as soon as the gates were opened.
President Herr refused all the de-
mands and told tho strikers commit
tee late yesterday that unless all en-
ployes were in their places this morn
ing they would have to be re-employ-
ed and would lose all the benefits ac-
crulng to them under the company's
compensation and pension system.
The strike, which was called April
p, was to enforce an eight-hour day,
and, according to the company, cost
the workmen $1,397,500 in wages.
An investigation into the strike riot
in Braddock last Tuesday, which re-
suited in three persons being killed
and score injured, was begun today
when the Allegheny county grand
jury convened.
Nearly dozen alleged strike lead
ers are in Jail, having been arrested
on warrants issued by Coroner jamie
son, charging them with murder as a
result of the riot, but they will be held
pending the outcome of the coroner's
inquest, which probably will be held
the last of this week.

MERCHANTS IN
FOR BOOSTING
LOCAL TRADE
'BUY 1T AT HOME" MOVEM'T
MEETS WITH INSTANT APP
PROVAL-SEC. RICHARDS
GIVES ENDORSEMENT.

The movement for Trade-at-H Home
campaign in Brunswick, which was
announced in the News Sunday morn
ing, is gaining momentum every day
and it now seems certain that such
a campaign will be staged in this city.
Since the publication of the article
Sunday morning, number of mer-
chants have come forward with their
approval and offers of unstinted sup
port. Several merchants yesterday
expressed their willingness to offer
prizes for the best articles on "Why
Should Brunswick People Trade at
Homer"
R. V. Richards, secretary of the Re-
tail Merchants and Business Mems as
sociation, is one of the livest boost
ers for the plan. He was asked yester-
day for his views ON the subject and
was unequivocal in his approval of
plans for the campaign.
Such a campaign will cause Bruins
wick people to think" said Mr.. Rich
ards while the people mere are more
loyal than are the citizens of most
cities, still there are a number of
Brunswickians who unthoughtedly buy
hundreds of dollars worth of goods
away from home which could be
bought right here at better prices and
without the risk of obtaining inferior
goods. There would be very few peo-
pie going out of town to make pur-
Ipho If thou xrn1111 I,,+ c+o l.
about the advantage of trading at
home"
The proposition will be taken up
with the merchants organization in
the near future and it is probable
that some definite plan will be worked
out and adopted. Several different
plans have been suggested, but the
main idea is to get the public interest
ed in the subject. For this reason
it has been practically decided that,
if the campaign is waged, there will
be number of valuable prizes offered
for acceptable essays and articles on
the subject "Why Should Brunswick
People Trade at Home?"
There are many young men and wo-
men attending school in this city who
desire chance to show their skill
with the pen. Such plan as suggest
ed would offer them an opportunity to
try their hand at competitive writing.
earn a valuable prize, and do their
home town great service at the same
time. The contestants would not nee
essarily be limited to school pupils,
but the public in general would be in
vited to express its views on this i'm
portant subject. When the public is
once aroused on the question no one
need doubt the good results that will
be seen.
The views of others are invited.

LATEST NOTE TO
GERMANY is GONE

WASHINGTON, May 9.-America's
latest note to Germany on the subma-
rine controversy had gone forward
to Berlin today, and administration
officials were interested in knowing
whether Germany would make any re-
ply. 1t was intimated in German cir
cles that the imperial government
might not consider an answer neces-
sary.
The text of the note, made public
last night, shows that the United
States accepts the German promises
that submarine warfare in the future
will be altered to conform with rec
ognized rules of International law. It
insists, however, that Germany must
not consider her respect for rights of
American citizens on the high seas
contingent on the conduct of any
other belligerent with whom the
United States may be negotiating.

Intense artillery activity east and

the effort to accomplish a like object
with the other flank.

LOCAL COMPANY READY
FOR THE CALL TO ARMS

The news that President Wilson has
ordered the state militia of Texas. Ari-

was received with much interest by
the local soldier boys, who are eager
to get into the Mexican mixup. The
local company is in excellent condi-
ton and could be gotten in motion on
short notice. Should another call for
state troops be made, Georgia would
likely be affected. This state is in
the Gulf group and it is this group
that usually gets the first call in Mex
