Labor Leaders Are
Denying DeAections
From Strikers Ranks

Chicago, Sept. 26. Despite ap-
pearance of added industry at sew
eral steel mills in the Chicago dis
trict, statements of directing heads
that employees were returning to
work in sufficient numbers to per-
NIT operations in some departments
were met by denials of defections
from the strikers ranks by labor
leaders.
At Gary, Ind, site of a big plant
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton, slab mill and five batteries
of coke ovens were in operation and
it was stated a rail mill soon would
be put to work. At the Illinois Steel
Company's plant in South Chicago,
it was stated 1000 men were at
work and six blast furnaces, q slab
mill and a plate mill were running
Officials of the latter company as
serted that they were operating
with employees who had returned to
work and very few new men. They
denied reports that negro strike
breakers were at work.
On the other hand, labor leaders
claimed the union men who went on
strike were standing fast and that
others were coming into the unions.
John H. De Young, assistant secre-
tary of the Chicago district, issued
table showing union IkLims of 100
per cent. of the men still out at
Evanston, Waukeegan. Steering, De
Kalb and Joliet, Ills, Milwaukee and
East Chicago, Ind.
At Hammond. Ind, according to
De Young's table the strike is 80 per
cent. effective 95 per cent. at In
diana Harbor and Gary, Ind, and
98 per cent. at South Chicago.
Little rioting continued to mark
the strike in the Chicago district.
Strikers threw stones and other mis-
siles at Waukeegan and one was shot
by q guard. At South Chicago one
man was reported beaten.

Cyrus E. Woods Defends
State Police; Will Urge
Sproul to Take Action

Washington, Sept. 26.-Cyrus r..
Woods, Secretary of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, is in the
city and to-day was informed by
indignant citizens of Pennsylvania of
the attack upon Nthe State Police,
made by John Fitzpatrick, leader of
the steel strikers. Mr. Woods will
make n report to Governor Sproul
with the recommendation that some
State official be sent to Washington
to appear before the Senate COM
mittee and correct the misstate-
ments made by Fitzpatrick.
while /, of course, have no per-
sonal knowledge of affairs in the
strike regions" said Secretary
Woods, "I do know that the Penn
sylvania Constabulary is the finest
body of men in the world detailed
for law enforcement. ] know they
are picked men, practically all of
whom have served enlistments in
the Regular Army; that they are
accepted as the model for other
states that are establishing state po-
lice forces; that they have reduced
crime probably fiftyfper cent. In the
coal regions, and that the War De-
partment was so impressed with
their efficiency as to undertake the
organization for patrol work along
the Rhine and ask Colonel Groome
to assist in its organization.
Immediately upon my return to
Harrisburg ! will report to Cover
nor Sproul and recommend to him
that evidence be placed before the
Senate committee to counteract any
false impression which may be given
by the testimony of Mr.. Fitzpatrick.
All loyal, law-abiding citizens OF
Pennsylvania are proud of the con-
stabulary and will not stand to see
it attacked unwarrantedly."

When Congress determined the size
and contents of the silver dollar Il
used as its model the Spanish

but. fortunately, made it a piece
of ten" instead of eight by adopting
the decimal system and giving US
dimes instead of shillings. Yet, for
nearly a century thereafter, many

DON'T SELL HENS
IS tHE ADVICE OF
STATE EXPERT
County Agent Advises That All Farm.
ers' Wives Save Their Hens For
Breeding Instead Of Mar
ketlng Them.

The following letter written by one
of the poultry experts in the field for
the College of Agriculture is so timely
that the county agent is reproducing
It here in full for the readers Of the
paper:
"The other day saw woman drive
into small town with crate full Of
hens for sale. Their beautiful red
combs and their lump soft bodies told
anyone that they were all laying. In
fact, few eggs were in the bottom Of
the crate as the farmers wife sold
them to the dealer for cents more a
pound than she could have gotten last
autumn.
when I saw the money pass hands,
l wondered why that woman had fed
and cared for those hens all winter
long merely to get about quarter
more per head for them. l knew ev-
cry hen in the crate had eaten twice
that amount Of corn since last fall
And l wondered too why the farmers
wife didn't realize that even poor
layer would soon shell out dozen
eggs which at 80 cents would amount
to 80 cents.
Listen to me. Can't folks see a
mite beyond their noses? Those hens
should have been kept until summer.
BY that time would have paid their
feed bill of last winter and then the
poor layers could have been picked
out and sent to the slaughter.
Surely the good woman, who kill
ed the goose that laid the golden egg
did not have anything at all on the
women who are selling laying hens
this spring"
