STEEL EXECUTIVES STRA|N|NG EVERY
 NERVE TOPREVENT
 SPREAD OF STRIKE
Only Optimistic Reports Come From Offices of the Pittsburg Plants, at Great
 Variance With Those
 Given Out by Unions :.
By Associated Press

Pittsburg, September "A. While organized labor's board of strategy was in session here today, mapping out further plans to bring victory to the union steel workers of the country in their struggle with the employers, the operating executives of the corporations involved were straining every nerve to check a spread of the strike.
 The present phase of the conflict is regarded by both sides as critical period. The first rush and excitement of the initiation of the strike is over Reports indicate that there has not been a great movement of men into or out of the plants in the Pittsburg dis trict since the first big walk-out. and each side is guarding against a stam- pede, The various large plants and smaller concerns are crippled in vary ing degrees, according to reports, and managers responsible for the opera tion of steel mills are in some cases not only trying to hold what they have, but are trying to get on the offensive.
 342,000 OUT, CLAIM
 Secretary Foster announced late to- day that some 342ooo men in the in- dustry are on strike and that the situa- tion was well in hand. This is gain of 15,000 compared with his figures of yesterday.
 Only optimistic information came from the offices of the Carnegie and other steel companies in the Pittsburg district today, and they were at great variance with those given out by the unions. The company officials main tained that the trend was into the mills. The Pittsburg district as a whole was comparatively quiet today. Late in tho afternoon strikers attempted to hold meeting on the borough line of Me- Keesport. The borough authorities have forbidden mass meetings and have broken up several attempts of the unbn men to gather in open places. Today a meeting was announced on the line be- tween Mckeesport and Glassport and about 1500 men assembled there, and the authorities of both places, assisted by detachment of state police, ordered it abandoned There was some resist ance and general fight started, in which, So far as police reports go, no one was seriously hurt. When che dis turbance was over the Mckeesport po- lice had taken 2t men into custody and 16 others were in the hands Of the Glasspo-t authorities.
 Several shots were fired, but it was declared no one was struck.

WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds An Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away.

Port Gibson women know how the
aches and pans that often come when
the kidneys fail make life burden.
Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles,
are frequent indications Of weak kid
neys and should be checked in time.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only. They attack kidney dis
eases by striking at the cause. Here's
proof of their merit in Port Gibson
woman's words:
Mrs. j. p, Watkins, Church ST.,
says: "A few months ago | had suf-
fered a great deal with kidney trouble
My back was always the worst source
of the complaint and it would ache
and pain severely through my Kidneys
/ often had dizzy spells and severe
headaches. Doan's Kidney Pills are
the best remdy evr got for this
trouble and they have done me a
world Of good. "A few boxes, which
] bought at Shreve's Drug Store, reg
ulated my kidneys and rid me Of the
pains in my back, making me feel bet
ter in every way. Doan's are a fine
kidney remedy"

CENSUS ENUMERATION HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH TAXES

"That the facts and figures gather
ed by the enumerators, supervisors
and agents Of the Fourteenth Decen-
nial Census will have absolutely noth-
ing to do with valuation Of property
for taxation purposes is point de-
sire to emphasize with all possible
vigor," said Director Of the Census
Sam L. Rogers today in speaking Of
the Forthcoming 1920 enumeration.
Some difficulty has been experience
ed in the past" continued Mr.. Rogers,
''in getting absolutely accurate val
ues Of land and other property be-
cause Of a certain amount Of confu-
sion over this point. Many people
were enormously inclined to connect
the Census with taxation. We hope
to avoid any such confusion this time.
The act of Congress which, under
the Constitution. provides for the taxi
ing Of the Fourteenth Decennial Cen
sus makes it unlawful for any enum-
orator, special agent, supervisor or
other employee Of the Census Bureau
to divulge any information whatso-
ever concerning the census returns.
A heavy fine and possible imprison-
ment, or both, is the penalty pre-
scribed for violation of this provision
of the law.
The proper tabulated figures Of the
Census are given out nowhere but
here in Washington and then only up
on the express authority Of the Direct
or of the Census Bureau
Actual work by the enumerators in
the various census districts will begin
on January 2, 1920. 1t is expected
that the population statistics Of all
cities and towns will be gathered in
approximately two weeks. Final fig
ures for rural districts, however, can
hardly be gathered in less than
month.
