Yesterday
FEW MEN LEAVE WORK

Handle Situation-Many Additional
Officers Sworn In.

Bethlehem, Pa.s Sept. 3O.-The
Bethlehem plant Of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation was very little af-
fected yesterday morning by the
strike which had been called fro
Pittsburgh, and there was no sem
cLage of disorder at the entrances to
the various plants when the shifts
changed at a. m. and again at 730
o'clock.
Virtually the same number of en-
p!oyees appeared in the various de-
partments as worked last week, save
rI2mber of machimsts left wit
their tools. The latter were said BY
the Company officials to be me o-tl.
Of the floating order, who had been
employed during the war.
Mayor Johnston, who issued pre-
,,amation calling upon the citizens t.

maintenance Of peace, was upon the
scene early. He will not permit gather

The police department. is well

additional officers have been sworn
in.
Pittsburgh, Sept. 30.-The show
down came yesterday in the steel
strike and on the face of it the strik-
ers lost, comparatively Few men qui;
work, and their loss to the mills was
more than offset by the number whc
returned to the shops.
Light is to be thrown upon the mill
owners side of the controversy. i
was learned yesterday, by the apr.ar
once of Judge Gary before the Seat
committee investigating the stec'
strike, at Washington on Wednes lay
Judge Gary, who is in New York, vii

was said. He is expected to offer tes
t:mony in refutation of the alsga

ed by brutal treatment Of workers
discovered by labor leaders who v's!t
ed Pittsburgh in a futile effort t"
until after the labor conference a1r

The situation from now on bids
fair to drag to a slow conclusion
with production seriously hampsra'

to terms. The failure of the un.or'
to close the mills of the Bethlehem

backing to this belief.
Unprecedented observers, famiEa'
with conditions in the industry, look
for victory for the mill owners as
certainty, with slight concession
made to the workers at the end. Bu'-
on the main issue, recognition OF r
urlions, the companies have won the
fight along the line. Violence was III

Review of Splendid Work
Accomplished During
World War
HELP TO SOLDIERS
Alexandria VIII Go Down in His
tory of Having Performed Her
Share of Work in National Crisis.

With tonight, the Elks building as
well as the buildings that have been
occupied by the local colored activi-
ties will close upon Alexandria War
Camp Community Service and we
shall say in the language of the
poet: "The lights are OFT and gone
are all the guests"
Thousands have written letters
home bearing the Alexandria, Va,
pcstmark; enjoyed the billiards and
other games; been served at the can
teen to soda, cigars, cigarettes,
candies and chewing gum; have
eaten the wonderful and appetizing
meals prepared by the good women
of our city; enjoyed the feminine
uplifting influences and sweet.
chaste compansionship of the young
ladies who were untiring and most
successful in their efforts to make
life enjoyable for the enlisted men
within our gates, at the numerous
dances, parties and functions pro-
vidcd under decorous and proper
chapcronage, for their benefit.
And too, thousands of these men
have enjoyed the privilege of the
dormitory here as we'll as those
provided by the Saint Pauls church
and the Lyccum building and have
made good use of the cots, blankets.
mattresses and sheets in many a
comfortable nights rest. Many OF
the men having visited other COM
munities, paid Alexandria the trib-
ute of standing first among them
all in their estimation of sheer hos
pitality and real home like proyi-
dence. To list those who have stood
out more prominently of our citizens
in: this good and wholesome work
would be doing some an injustice as
every Alexandria citizen entertained
sincere. cooperative attitude
though they did not all have an op-
portunity to just lend hand, and
when we say that our churches, the
secret orders and benevolent and
patriotic societies all strove to dc
their several parts. it will hardly
leave one citizen unaccountcd for in
the great work.
Thus Alexandria will go down in
history as having performed well
her share in the work of the greet
world war under the banner, "War
Camp Community Service" Why
then. should not the community
service phase of this big work be
nerpetuated? There is a national
headquarters in New York which
will be maintained to assist any
and every community at any time
with trained men and women to
make the work flourish and succeed
to the best possible interests of the
community concerned.
AS the curtain falls on Alexandria
War Camp Community Service-a
work we'll and successfully ac-
complished,- may it rise on a work
full! of merit and ever increasing
promise and an onward trend of
progress Alexandria Community
Service.
