dChSOu, Mloo.ptr y uut J.-NOL-
withstanding the opinion Of the
attorney general that the law of
1913, required ALL candidates for
Office in a party primary to be
formally declared and announced
ION or before the first Monday in
May prior to the holding of such
primaries" nulifies or abrogates
the older law, the Democratic
state executive committee went
on record to-day for a broader
and more liberal construction of
the statute of 1918, taken togeth-
err with the provision of the code
of 1906. 1t was decided that the
later statute is more of a qualify
ing than multiplying or abrogating
law; that the former is not to be
repealed by implication" or it's
provisions set aside through ex-
parte declaration or opinion.
After a somewhat animated
discussion of the whole subject,
the committee, by vote of IL to
3, adopted resolution offered by
Judge Robert Powell from the
Eighth district:
Resolved, that Section 3715 of
the code of 1906 has not been a.
mended or repealed, and is still
in force"
Being literally constructed,
this means that the party manag-
ers do not hesitate to declare a.
gainst the policy Of changing
statutes by implication, especial
ly where strictly political and
party procedure is concerned. 1t
means also an extension of the
time for announcements for office

outside M1chaeIs house in the after noon ana While he was away Con- stantl came to the house and asked if he might use it. Michaels wife told him that he could not and he in formed her that he would take it anyway. When Michael came home he was told of the incident by his W1te and started out at once to locate the wheel. He found it on Hartford avenue and questioned the man riding 1t. Constant told him that he had owned the bicycle for three months, ana not aware that the inquisitor was the owner, he agreed to sell it for $50. His arrest followed this offer.
 A blackjack, similar to those used by the police was exhibited the weapon with which Stanley Misko is said to have struck John Bacchus Saturday evening, knocking him un- conscious. He was charged with as- sault, and paid fine of s1O and costs. floor of the room where the assault was committed.
 Although charges were not brought on that count, John complained to the officer when the arrest was being made that S135 in bills had been taken from his pockets after the as- sault. The trouble arose over a bar room argument regarding the payment of a bill for a straw hat. John came home early and went to his room by way of a window. When Stanley came to the house he was locked out and finally decided to go through the same window. Another argument was started and the black jack was then used, it is alleged.

SUMMARY OF STRIKE
(Associated Press.)


Three important developments
were pending today in the steel
strike, any one of which may
have vital bearing on the out
come of the great industrial
struggle.
In Pittsburgh the national steel
workers committee was to meet
late today and q definite decision
was expected in regard to calling
out the 10000 workers in the
Bethlehem steel plants Monday.
In Youngstown, where the
strikers have succeeded in COM
pletely tying up the steel indus
try in the Mahoning valley dis
trict, meetings were announced
of unskilled and semiskilled
workers to discuss the question
of returning to work. Some mys-
terry enveloped these meetings, as
both the strike leaders and the
mill managers professed to know
nothing of their origin.
The third development was
promised at Cleveland, where the
executive committees of the Great
Lakes shipping union. claiming to
represent $4,000 seamen, engi-
neers and men of allied trades,
met to decide whether their or
ganizations would declare SYM
pathetic strike.
Such a strike already has been
authorized by the international
unions.
With conditions In the steel
centers remaining virtually un-
changed. the senate Investigation
at Washington was the focus of
attention on both sides. Samuel
Gompers, veteran president of the
American Federation of Labor,
appeared before the committee
late today.
In the meantime the usual con-
fllcting claims were made by the
opposing generals In the pivotal
backgrounds of Pittsburgh and
Chicago, but all definite news in
dicated no important change in
conditions.
