I will let you hear from me again.
We left Yakima, Wash. about two or
three weeks ago; came down by Gran'

place four miles before we heard Of him
but we turned and went back and found
him and | must say we were glad we
went back for George and Martha did
make US feel at home and We could no,
get of from them without staying all
night. Here we had another ice
cream supper, although there were no
more Missourians there but Hulls and
ourselves but the reason was there are
no others that live close around George
or We would have had them there. We
found George apd Martha doing well ir

ing life. George has the management

a good house and have it we'll furnish
ed and you can bet Martha has not for
ten how TO cook. She yet knows how
to get those old fashioned good Mil
souri meals and she sure put them up
while we were there.
Well, from here we went down by
Walla Walla and on north TO Spokane
where we found a bunch oil old Taney
county people. We visited there one
day, going around and seeing all ol
them, or nearly all, I believe we mis-
sed few, That night we invited the

From here Hammonds and our bunch
started for Yellow Stone Park, it tool
US about five Or six days to make the
trip. We saw lots otwonders but only
stayed one day when We ought to have
stayed a week or more. Some Of the
wonders are the animals that are in the
Park. There are thousands OF elk, deer,
buffalo and bears. The bears will come
up and steal the grub out Of your lunch
baskets this is no joke for I can prove
it. Well, the mountains are wonderful
there, too, but the most wonderful is
the hot springs. You find hundreds Of
acres--not one hundred but hundreds
that are nothing but mass OF boiling
water, and lots Of them throw water
ten 10 $50 feet in the air, and some
roar fully as loud as a railroad engine
when it is getting up steam. Well, l
can't halt explain all, but it is a great
wonder Another wonder is that we
did not freeze to death the night we
camped there, for I had some water

Claim Increase in
Number of Steelworkers
in Ranks of Strikers
By Associated Press.

Pittsburgh, Oct. with labor
leaders advancing the claim that all
plants in the Pittsburgh district have
been crippled by the steel workers
strike, and the employers maintain
ing that more men are returning
to work each day and that the mills
are operated at nearly full time, the
situation to-day remained as it has
been for several days past, virtually
unchanged.
According to the latest figures
from strike headquarters $4,000
iron and steel workers of the coun-
try are on strike, this representing
an increase of $4,000 over last weeks
total. A majority of the men who
Joined the strike during the last three
days walker out from Bethlehem
Steel Company plants and the Jones
and Laughlin Company mills in
Pittsburgh, strike leaders say.
The first show OF strength by the
strikers came last night, when a
meeting was held here. 1t was esti-
mated that more than 5000 men at
tended the session. Speakers urged
the strikers to be peaceful and warn
ed them to have no association with
radical agitators.

number of men striking yesterday,

nine furnaces in the open hearth
are working. One of the two not
running has been out of commission
for several months. These condi-
tions were told by plant officials.
Strikers Meet Daily
In contrast with the above state
ment are the reports given at the
union headquarters, where the of
| hcers claim that a larger number
of men are on strike to-day, and that
their ranks are constantly increasing
in number. Definite figures could
not be secured.

Five Men Held by Police
The five men who were alleged
to have been arrested last night by
police explained this morning to
nE hnf mn
their way to work when appre-
hended Asked why they took such
round about way they replied
that they were afraid to enter in
by the proper gate because of the
pickets posted there by the strikers.
Although this story seemed to con-
flict with their attitude towards the
policemen last night, the burgess
took them at their word and left
them go. They asked for protection
so that they could go to work with
out fear of being molested.
At the union headquarters this
morning came reports from pickets
that they had been told by police
men to refrain from talking to men
on the way to work and in few
cases had been roughly handled by
the officers. Union officials this
morning held n conference to dis
cover III possible the truth OF the
reports brought in by pickets. After
the conference the following state
ment was made by Frank B. Tour
son, secretary to John Brown, strike
organizer:
Resent Attitude
I'VE resent very much the attitude
of police officers towards our pickets.
Especially SO since Chief Longnaker
has assured us that as long as our
pickets remained quiet and peaceful
they would not be disturbed. Ac-
cording to reports from our pickets
they were ordered from their points
of duty on the public highway. In
each case they were ordered off by
Bethlehem Steel Company police"
Officials of the Harrisburg Pipe
and Pipe Bending Company plant
reported all departments in opera
ton except the open hearth depart
ment. That as far as has been
learned the number of men out on
strike was small. The return of
more than 100 men yesterday put
several other departments in full
running order. More men reported
they would be back on their shifts
to-day.
