conditions differed so widely, how.

was paramount.
Union leaders were either quietly
satisfied or openly jubilant, but com
pany officials had little to say if they
talked at all, those who discussed the
strike asserting that it was too early
to give out statements.
All told forty-three big steel plants
We're directly affected by the strike or

timated at more than $1,000. Union
claims We're that 80 per cent of this
number had struck for recognition of
their unions but no company official
would acknowledge more than 20 per
cent actually out. Where more than
this proportion had failed to report for
work the plant officials said they had

There We're no reports of disorders
from any municipal officials in the

GENERALS Of BOTH
SIDES CLAIM FIRST
FALL IN BIG STRIK {

The preliminary skrmish in the
great industrial struggle which opened
today between the labor unions and the
United States steel Corporation, which
directly or indirectly affects half
million wage carnore, produced the
usual conflicting claims by the gen
erals on both sides.
In the greatest strategic centers OF
the struggle, the Chicago and Pitts
burg district, many thousands of
workers obeyed the strike order, but
early reports stated that comparative
ly few plants had been compelled to
close. At a large number of outlying
points officials Of similar plants re-
ported they We're operating as usual.

CARTIER COUNTY PRISONER
FACES MURDER CHARGES
IN EASTERN OKLAHOM,

Sheriff Jess Phillips of Coal county
was in Ardmore today to get Joe Tay-
lor, now i'm the Carter county Jail,
charged with a statutory offense and
awaiting trial before the district court.
He left with his prisoner for Coalgate
over the Rock Island at 12:4O this after
noon.
Taylor it is alleged, committed a muir
der in Coal county and local authorl-
ties decided to give the Coal county
courts the prior claim on him, after
which he will probably be tried here.
Taylor has been more or less in the
courts in this county for a number of
years. He was sent to the penitentiary
from here a few years ago, where he
served q term for a statutory offense,
and was released but a short time when
he was again placed under arrest.

Full Effect Not Felt

Pittsburg, Pa Sept. 22.-The first
day OF the strike in the steel indus
try found virtually every plant Of the
United States steel Corporation and
nearly all the independent works in
and about the Pttsburg district in
operation in some degree. According
to information from corporation sources
some of the mills, particularly those
within the city Of Pittsburg, are
working full handed
IT was admitted that the strike was
felt seriously in places such us Clair
ton and Donnera and that in some
places the blast furnaces of the steel
corporation were either banked or the
working force crippled.
Satisfaction with the showing was
expressed by officials Of the Carnegie
steel Company, the largest subsidiary
of the steel corporation in this sec
ton, but no formal statement was made
of the number of men who failed to
report for work.
At union headquarters, VIM. a.
Foster secretary of the steel work
ers national committee, said the show
ing made by the strikers was beyond
their calculations and expressed the
opinion that the fun effect of the
strike would not be really felt for a
day or two.
Hlbert II. Gary, chairman of the board
of directors of the steel corporation,
refused to make any comment on the
situation.
Secretary Foster of the steel work
crs union issued a statement express
ing satisfaction with the outlook and
claiming that reports from outside the
Pittsburg district showed that the
shut down was general.
An important feature Of the situa
tion was the announcement by repre-.
scntatiyes of the $1,000 workers en-
ployed by the Bethlehem steel Com.
pany, that these men would not join
the strike pending an attempt to oh.
tain a conference with the company Of
ficialS.
Some of the blast furnaces in the
Pittsburg district were banked but
the majority of the plants We're in op-
Grafton although admittedly with
forces reduced from Is to Sc per cent.
In the Chicago district including Gary
and Hammond, where 100000 steel
workers are employed, similar condi-
tons were reported. At Cleveland,
the union leaders claimed that l5,OOO
men were out and that lG mills Of the
American Steel and Wire Company,
employing 5000 men, We're closed down.
AT Ohio's second greatest steel center,
Youngstown, the strike leaders also
claimed that the great majority Of the
workmen had struck and at Steuben.
