tempt to Settle Trouble.

San Francisco, Sept 19.-Strike dots
and disorders on Monday, in which Is
persons received injuries necessitating
hospital treatment and 80 rioters were
arrested, continued throughout the day
following the walkout of $4,000 iron
workers and shipbuilders, which
brought work to Standstill on more
than $15O,0O0,O00 Of naval and mer-
chant vessel construction for the gOvs
eminent. The strike is characterized
as the most extensive in the history Of
the Pacific coast.
A company Of United States marines
was landed at the Union Iron works
dock, where the men went on strike.
1t is reported another company has
been ordered from Mare Island to the
plant and that the government will
take similar action to protect ship
building plants at other bay points.
Full details of the strike and the de-
mands of the 25 unions involved for
higher wages have been. reported to
Washington. The employers have
placed the issue squarely up to the
federal officials, closing down their
plants and making no attempt to Op=
crate while they await government ac-
ton.
100 Plants Are Affected.
The strikers, some of them skilled
mechanics, started quitting work at
nine o'clock in the morning when the
10000 iron workers in the Oakland and
San Francisco plants0f the Union Iron
works laid down their tools. The strike
spread rapidly until every shipyard in
the bay district was closed down and
more than 100 factories, machine
shops, automobile concerns and other
plants were affected.
The worst rioting and disorders took
place in connection with the strike OF
iron workers since the employees OF
the United railroad walked out five
weeks ago.
Fifteen Riots Occur.
Fifteen separate riots occurred dur
ing the day and as many smaller dis
turbances in which cars were stoned,
nonunion motormen and conductors
dragged from their platforms and beat
en-, passengers, including women, In
jured and cars disabled.
Employers in the iron trades and
shipbuilding industry charged that the
strike of their men was largely
prompted by sympathy for the strik-
ing street-car men,.
I'm statement issued by the Iron
Trades council from union headQuar-
tiers this charge was emphatically de-
MED and the mems side of the case
was laid before the public. The
Statement claims that the employers

BUFFALO BILL

Onward. westward. toward the sunset,
 Over prairie, hill and vale. He has passed and gone forever.
 Down the lonely, silent trail. Yes. he is gone, the old frontiersman,
 Noble hero of the West, Gone to join his silent comrades
 On the twilight shores of rest. Gone, indeed, our boyhoOd sdOl,
 Gone across the big divide, Gone across the silent river
 Where there's neither wind nor tide. O. how well we all remember
 The gallant scout who knew no fears.
 Hiss Passing now will bring back memories
 From the shores of yester years Yes. we see the tired procession,
 See the crafty Indian braves, Hear the war-cry, see the struggle, See the lonely wayside graves. Dauntless men and patient women, Restless. rowing, fearless bands, Seeking homes in vast waste places, In the sun-kissed western lands. Oh, what thoughts of hope forsakcn, Does that scene to me recall, Weary men and haggsrd women,
 Seemingly about to fall. Pressing onward toward the sunset,
 Over prairie, hill and vale. They have vanished he has followed.
 Down the lonely. silent trail.

 Two American vessels. the RoChes- ts' and Orleans, left New York on Saturday for Bordeaux. Neither of them was painted with red and white stripes as the German government had prescribed. The American line announced that none of that com panys ships would be sent across the Atlantic unless the United States government provide conveys or guns and gUnners to protect the vessels.
 No important military actions on any of the fronts were reported dur ing the day. German artillery halted a French attempt to attack Hill 304, and a minor attack by the French on Pepper Ridge. north ol Nerdun. was repulsed.
