Steel Officials Do Not Expect
Strike on Ranges.
Special Despatch to The Sun.

DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. 21.-The night
before the nationwide steel strike finds
this section, where are located some OF
the great ore producing mines, one fair
sized mill of the United States Steel
Corporation and other affiliated plants,
wondering what the morrow will bring.
Unless the seamen's union ties up lake
shipping IL Ia not expected mining on
the Mesaba and Vermillion ranges near
here will be seriously crippled IL the
manufacturing end of the industry
comes to a standstill, as the miners are
not believed to be largely affiliated with
the American Federation Of Labor, de-
spite claims to the contrary.
Lake ore shipping is at it's peak now
after the recent interruption due to the
dock workers strike at Lake Superior
ports, and both the United States Steel
and independents are trying TO get as
much ore down the lakes as possible be-

not appear to fear the Gripping OF min
ing operations by a strike at the mines,
as they scout claims of the miners being
organized.

the Chief Executive of this country?'
said Mr.. Fitzpatrick.
The national chairman said no one
to.nieht could tell how many men
would strike tomorrow. Estimates from
various sources have predicted that be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 men in the
Chicago district. which includes the tri-
angular area extending from Milwaukee
on the north, to Joliet, Ill. at the
southwest, and Gary, Ind, to the east,

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism

Rheuma acts with speed: it brings

that cause agony and pain In the joints
and muscles and quickly the torturing
soreness completely disappeares.
Read what a reputable physician
says about Rheuma: 81 have made a
most careful investigation of the for
mula employed in the manufacture Of
Rheuma, and / heartily recommend II
as a remedy for all forms of rheum-
atism. / find Rheuma far in advance
of the methods generally employed in
the treatment Of rheumatism, and al
together different in composition from
the remedies usually prescribed" -
DR.. M. c. Lyons. This certainly should
give any rheumatic sufferer conf

your money if it does not give you

Pete MINER Signed
By Suayne-Robinson

Pete Minner. one of the best pitch
ers Of the s. A. L., has signed to pitch
for the Swayne-Robinsonc club this sea-
son. Pete has been on four straight
pennant winners and II the dope runs
true to form, the Swayne-Robinsons
should win the pennant.
Pete pitched for the Dille-M Mcguire
team in 1914 and the team finished in
second place, but in the following sea-
son he was with the champion vi
grams and in 1916 and 1T with the
champion Natcos, and 1918 with the
Simplex team, a pennant winner.
Many concede Pete to be the best
pitcher in town, but Russ Hawekotte
also comes in for honors as he has
always pitched splendid ball. When
Russ" and Pete" get together there

southpaw that promises to do some
hurting this year that will battle the
leagues best slabmen. In addition to
these two pitchers, the Wayne Works
will have Johnny Taggert, back in toys
doing duty on the mound. Taggert Is
safe bet with the Workers nine and
probably will be the lead off pitcher in
the majority Of the games.
The backstop men Of the Wayne
Works bunch Is unknown, but there
are a large number of players just
returned from the service who will
do duty with the team. Chief among
these is Billy Niebuhr. who was the
only Saturday Afternoon League play

over the top six or seven times and is
back ready for the national fray at
