STEEL WORKERS ARE R|OT|NC IN
 TOWN IN OHIO
YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO, IS THE SCENE OF TERRIBLE
 REIGN OF TERROR.

YOUNGSTOWN, O.. Jan 9.-This city is now under martial law as the result of the rioting started l here Friday night by the 5000 strik- ing steel workers. Three regiments of the Ohio National Guard are patroling the streets, and, although the populaCe generally expects that the rioting will break out again at any time, the city authorities have announced that they now have the situation well in hand
 Four deaths resulted from the rioting and q hundred persons are in the hospitals, more or less in jured Fully one hundred more are In jail under charges of murder and arson. The damages by fire. the results of the incendiarlsm caused by the strike, are estimated at fully one million dollars.
 When rioting started the entire police force of the city was called into action. It was soon discovered however that all efforts of the po- l lice to quell the riot were of no avail, and call for militia was sent to the governor.
 LAYS IT TO GERMANS. | YOUNGSTOWN, Jan. 9.-The pres ideDt Of the Sheet Metal 6 Tube Manufacturing company, of this city, |
 is quoted as having said that the strike and consequent rioting at the steel works here are parts of a gi- gantic German plot, other parts of which have already been unearthed He is reported to have said that he is in receipt of certain informa- tion which leads him to believe that been quietly working among the 5000 workmen in his own establish ment but that their efforts had no effect, owing to the fact that the Sheet Metal & Tube Manufac- turing company increased the wages of it's employees on the first of the year and are giving them a profit sharing dividend.
 It is understood that secret ser vice men of the government will soon be here to investigate the strike and riot. And 1t is thought that the reported statement of the presi- den of the tube manufacturing con cen may be correct, at least in some respects, in view of the fact that conspiracies instituted by Ger mans or Austrians have been dis covered in several parts of the Unit ed States
 OUT IN THE COLD. YOUNGSTOWN, Jan. 9.-Their headquarters here being surrounded by large bodies of police and mili- tia, the striking steel workers are compelled to hold their meetings out of doors. Accordingly, they as semble around bonfires where they listen to speeches made by their leaders. Their meetings are not in terfered with when they are of an orderly nature, but numerous more arrests of persons trying to incite further rioting have been made.
 WILL NOT MAKE TERMS.
 YOUNGSTOWN, Jan. 9.-Several meetings of strike leaders with the president of the local steel works were held today. Mediation was pro posed by the president of the steel works, who, while he is unwilling to accede to all of the demands of the striking steel workers, is will ing to mediate with the strikers on their grievances. The strike leaders, however, have announced that they will not make terms; that the steel manufacturers must con- cede them every point asked for
