PITTSBURG MILLS
OPERATE UNDER GUARD.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 22.-(By As
sociated Press. 1.-THE struggle be.
tween the organized labor and the
employers in the steel industry was
in full swing this morning. In Pitts
burg and nearby districts many thous.
ands obeyed the strike call. Dawn
found the steel plants under guard
of regular and special officers and
full protection, as far as could be ar
ranged, was given the men who de-
termined to go to work.
I'VE got away in good shape at
most of our plants in and about Pitts
burg this morning." said repre-
sentative of the Carnegie Steel Co.,
commenting on the effect of the
strike.
eve were agreeably surprised at
the showing made" was the state
ment of a union representative.
Information from the employers
side was to the effect that the strike
line was sharply drawn between
Americans and foreigners, the latter
being in a big majority among the
strikers.
Although figures were lacking,
President Tighe, of the Amalgamated
Steel, Iron and Tinplate Workers, said
he had received favorable reports
from points in this district and that
ali plants in the lower Ohio valley had

AID CLUBS URGE
j. s. TO RATIFY
TREATY AS IT IS

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 22.-(By
Associated Press. )-Delegates to the
convention of the Associated Adver-
tising Clubs of World today adopted
a resolution pledging faith in the
peace treaty and League of Nations
covenant and urging It's speedy ratl-
fication without amendment or
.,eservation." asa
Of special interest was a discus
sion this afternoon by r. S. Hecht,
president of the Hibernia Bank ana
Trust Co of New Orleans, of the
growth of bank advertising and the
recognition, on the part of leading
bankers, that bank advertising not
only increases their business, but
also serves the public.
THE so-called bank advertising of
twenty and fifteen and even ten
years ago." he said, with very few
brilliant exceptions, was so absolute
ly inane as to be positively pitiful.
| have heard it described as tomb
stone advertising, and certainly no
more appropriate adjective could be
used, for it produced just about the
same results as to the inscriptions
that YOU will read in the average
well-organized and well-conducted
cemetery
But our work is just begun" Re
continued. "The people of our coun-
try, inspired by just patriotism and
encouraged by intelligent publicity,
learned during the past few years
what it means to sacrifice and save.
Our big purpose from now on must
be to still further popularize con-
structive and continuous thrift, and
to convert a permanent habit that
temporary practice developed during
war time"
"The newspaper advertising copy
of bank should be human interest
copy.'" asserted F. D. Conner, of
the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank,
Chicago, at the same session. There
is enough happening every day in
vour own institution. The newspa-
pers are publishing live subjects out
which human interest advertisements
can be written The experience OF
others are great guide posts, show
;ng what is right or what is wrong.

WORLD SERIES
GAMES TO OPEN
IN CINCINNATI

CINCINNATI, Sept. 22.-(By AS
sociated Press. )-Cincinnati won the
toss for the opening game of the
world series at the meeting of the
National Commission here today. The
games are scheduled to begin Oc-
tober /, and it will be a nine-game
series, with the Chicago White Sox
the opponents of the Reds.
The. fact thot you are the oldest
or the largest institution in the city,
county or state is no longer argument
why any person should patronize
your bank.
81 remember some time ago an old
farmer was killed in a railroad acci-
dent Among other things, the pa
pers stated that he had made a will
many years ago and, after a diligent
search, it was found. However,
many things had happened in the
meantime which complicated matters
greatly.
81 got an inspiration from that
story to run an advertisement in be-
half of our trust department. The
headline was He Made Will, But
and went on and related the circum-
stances about the will that was hid
den away and was not up-to-date.
A few days afterwards an old gentle
man came into the Trust Department
with this advertisement in his hand.
He said, This strikes me very forci-
bly,; l am guilty The result was
that his will was rewritten and our
institution was named as executor
of the estate, which involved about
5000. .nnn

Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-08-02

The bouts at tbs Lotos Club, Pal
ace hall, last night, as predicted, was
some show. A crowd of shirtwaisted,
sweltering ring supporters saw some
wonderful scrapping and also one of
the funniest bouts ever exhibited.
There were two knockouts scored.
One in the main bout with Young
Leo and Battling Ed" Brown and
one in the prelims-Young Perry of
New Brunswick placing the K.O. on
Young Fitzimmons of Woodbridge.
In the main ring of the ten Harry
Applegate of New Brunswick and
Jack Coyne of Morgan declared hos
~tilities. This set-to was marred a
tribe with Coyne continually clinch-
ing until the final round when he
flung the mitts about in real fashion.
The scrap was ''eithers' from the
first sound of the gong to the last.
The decision-A DRAW. Judge tor
yourself from the different rouLas
following:
1st Round
The first opened with both boxers
sparring, feeling each other out, with
Coyne slightly leading. Coyne forced
the fighting. Apologize, just before
the gong sounded managed to land
several telling jabs. Round a draw.
End Round
Started with fast fighting, Apple
gate donating one to Coyne's body.
Coyne then forced Harry to the cor
ner with a rain Of blows. Applegate
ducked, and in exchange, drove
Coyne to the ropes, keeping him there
until several shots were landed.
Coyne ended this 'go" by drawing
first blood with q scratching blow
over ~Applegate's right eye. Round
to Coyne.
3rd Round
Coyne started this chapter forcing
Harry to the ropes and again draw
ing blood with a smash or Apple
gates left ear. This appeared to
arouse Harry for he in turn gave
Goyne a wallop IN the listener"
Coyne doing the leading throughout.
Coyne's round.
4th Round
Was commenced with a terrible
overland swing by Coyne, which he
missed, affording A~pplegate a nance
to present one. For next few min
utes the fighters spared. Harry
suddenly stopped boxing and landed
a hooker" on Coyne's left lamp.
Coyne was knocked to the ropes and
insisted on hanging on. Applegate's
round.
Fifth Round.
Started by Coyne still clinching and

ing several good punches. Whenever
Applegate forced the fight Coyne
would lay ON him. Coyne slipped his
"fapper' a hard one on Harry's
"mush." From then on Applegate
was the aggressor. Tie round.
Sixth Round.
Opened with Harry forcing Cayne
who still desired to bunny hug" This
became lively after the first few mo-
ments with Coyne receiving a jab on
his "beezer'' that brought the claret
to the surface. Round ended in APP
