STEELSTRIkE IN FULL BLAST
Men Say That More Than 100000
Are Out, While Mih Owners
Deny Claim.

New YorlI.--Organized labor gained
ground in Chicago, Youngstown and
other western centers on the second
day of the great steel strike, which
was marked by increased violence
but, according to officials of the Unit
ed Steel Corporation and various in
dependent companies, made but little
headway in Pittsburgh and other east
ern mills. From the south were re-
ceived decidedly conflicting reports
such as from Birmingham, where union
leaders claimed 1000 men were out
and plant officials asserted there was
such a surplus of labor that hundreds
of men were set to sweeping floors fol
lack of other tasks.
In the Chicago district, where union
leaders claimed an additional 10000
men had gone out, more steel plants
were closed in Couth Chicago and In
dian Harbor. although at the latter
place officials of an independent" ex'
planned their shut down had Deen or
dered merely to avoid responsibility
for industrial warfare. Monday only
the Gary mills OF the United States
Steel Corporation, some small plants
in East Chicago and five independent
mills in Hammond attempted opera
tion.
In the Youngstown district proper
strikers achieved their most marked
success. causing complete suspension
of work in every plant on the Mahon.

Union leaders hera1ded spread OF
the strike. declaring that whereas
only 2S4,0O0~of the half million work
| ers affected had mached out of the
mills on the opening day, their ranks
now numbered 27,100. They predict
the closing of many more plants. and
announced they hoped to extend the
strikes to Great Lakes seamen and
union trainmen.
Industrial leaders, while withhold
ing their own figures, challenged the
claims Of labor's leaders. Repressn
tatives of the Carnegie company. the
largest Subsidiary of the United States
Steel Corporation, declared that this
situation was much improved" An
,stimate was made that in the Pitts
burgh district alone $1,000 men had
returned to vat and furnace.

DIES AT HOSPITAL AFTER BEING
DRAGGED THROUGH STREETS
WITH ROPE AROUND NECK.
LOSING FIGHT OF SHERIFF
Officers Hold Mob Back Until Flames
In Courthouse Compel Surrender
of Prisoner, Who Was Hanged
On Light Pole.

Omaha, Neb-Mayor Ed P. Smith,
victim of two attempts at lynching
Sunday afternoon, died at 1880 o'clock
in the morning as a result of injuries
received at the hands of a mob, which
later hanged William Brown, negro,
to a light pole.
The mayor had gone to the court
house and held consultation with
Sheriff Clark. Emerging from the
courthouse, he met the mob and be-
gan to make an appeal for law and or
der. Somebody shouted: Lynch him, p"
and a member of the mob threw a rope
around his neck
Half dozen men dragged the may
or half a block and threw the loose
end of the rope over trolley pole.
Twice they drew the mayors body
from the ground. Each time two po-
lice officers cut the rope. Following
the second attempt these officers sue
ceeded in getting the mayor into a
police motor car and rushed him to a
surgeons office nearby. The mayor
was bleeding from his mouth and nose.
and after brief examination by ply
sicians, was taken to a hospital
The riot centered about the magnifi-
cent new $l,5O0.000 courthouse build
ing, which was set on fire in the eff
forts to reach William Brown, a negro
charged with criminally attacking a
white g;rl few days ago.
With the flames mounting steadily
from floor TO floor, Sheriff ihI,ie CLARK
and his deputies fought a battle of
hours to save Brown, but at IL o'clock
with the cries Of the 100 or more pris-
vners on the top floor-the Jail floor
ringing in his ears, he was compelled
to surrender the prisoner.
The latter was hurried to an cleo
tric light pole and hanged.
The assault with which William
Brown was charged was committed
early in the week With an escort
crippled beyond the point of resist
ance, the girl met her assailant few
blocks from home in the southeast
part of the city. He held the couple
up at the point of revolver After
robbing the young man he attacked
the young woman in his presence
holding a revolver useless.

ARANpoNs SPEAKING TRIP AND
RETURNS TO WASHINGTON
TO SEEK REST.
ON ADVICE OF PHYSICIAN
Indigestion and Slight Cold, Coupled
With strenuousness of Trip, Make
Necessary Cancellation of
- All Engagements.

Kansas City, Mo.--Presidcnt Wilson
passed through this city on his way to
Washington. having abandoned his tour
and cancelled ali speaking engage
ments on advice of his physician. He
is suffering from nervous exhaustion
and intestinal disorder. His condition
was such that Admiral Cary T. Gray
son his personal physician. ordered his
immediate return to Washington and
the cancellation Of the remaining en-
gagements in his nationwide tour on
behalf of the peace treaty and the
league of nations covenant.
The president has been on the verge
of a serious sickness for the past
week The strain of the trip sapped
at his reserve strength and made in
roads to the extent that tonight he is
weak man. "A bulletin on his condi-
tion was issued by DIR. Grayson, and is
as follows: l. "a
president Wilson's condition is due
to overwork The trouble dates back
to an attack of influenza last April in
Paris, from which he has never en-
tirely recovered, The presidents ac-
tivities on this trip have oxertaxed his
strength and he is suffering from ner-
vous exhaustion His condition is not
alarming, but 1t will be necessary for
his recovery that he have a rest and
quiet for considerable time"
Joesph r. Tumulty, secretary to the
president, also issued the following
statement
Upon the advice of Rear Admiral
Grayson. the presidents physician, it
has become necessary to cancel all
the presidents engagements for the
immediate future"
Unless the president takes decided
turn toward the better he will be un-
able to go to New York to welcome
the king and queen of Belgium to the
United States; he will not be present
at the forthcoming industrial confer
ence in Washington between capital
and labor. which will proceed at all
events; he will not be able to attend
the sessions of the international labor
conference which convenes at the cap
tal the last of October: he will have
| to forego entertaining either the
prince-.of Wales or Cardinal Mereier
of Belgium, and he will be compelled
to leave the fortunes of his fight for
the ratification Of the peace treaty
and the league of nations covenants
in the hands of his lieutenants in the
senate.

RELIEF FOR COAL
CAR SHORTAGE
OFFICIAL OF RAILROAD ADMINS
TRATloN HAS CONFERENCE
WITH A COMMITTEE.
AGREE ON A DEFINITE PLAN
Louisville and Nashville Railroad Will
Receive 450 Cars Daily From
Other Roads to Relieve
Present Shortage.

Washington.--As the result of the
conference participated in by a. G..
Guthheim, head OF the car service sec
ton of the railroad administration, a
committee Of nine representing the
coal operators, of 7rcnnasss ani Ken
lucky and senator's form six southern
states, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia,
Florida and North and South Carolina.
and by Mr.. Gutheim and w. l.. Ma
pother of the Louisville G Nashville
railroad, the railroad administration Of
ficial assured the senators and the rep
resentatives of the coal operators that
he and Mr.. Mapothe had arrived at a
plan, which, they believe, promises inn
mediate and substantial relief from the
acHe shortage of cars on the Louis
vile & Nashville railroad, which has
threatened to result in coal famine
throughout the coming south during
the coming winter. The orders to
carry out this plan were put into eff
feet by the railroad administration.
= The plan agreed upon for relieving
the coal car. shortage in Kentucky and
Tennessee provides that 1SO cars from
roads in the eastern region and 270
cars form other roads in the southern
region shall be turned over to the
Louisville e. Nashville railroad by the
administration daily during ten days,
this not to include cars returned to
the L.. G. N. for other cars taken from
1t. This will bring $500 additional coal
cars to the l.. & N. road and Mr.. Guth-
helm assured the senators and coal OPP
orators that the railroad administra-
ton will do everything possible to
equalize the distribution OF the coal
car supply from now on.
The coal operators decided to &C
cept for trial the arrangements made
by Mr.. Guthheim and Mt. Mapother
but insisted that beside the remedy Of
the alleged discrimination against
them, they should. receive the differ
ence between the percentage of cars
which the Kentucky and Tennessee
fields have received during the last
esveral months and the much higher
percentage of cars received in the
other coal fields during. that period
