Associated Press Summary
 or Steel Strike Situation

plants showed an apparent increase of activity, but claims of employers that several thousand men had returned were denied by strike leaders.
 Ohio District-Industry has been almos. completely paralyzed. but semf-skilled and unskilled workers in the Mahonng valley have called meeting for today to vote on return.
 The situation with regard to the meet
 ngs is one of much confusion. At strike headquarters it is declared that the nian- ufacturerS are back Of the movement and that the unions have absolutely no con nection with them. On the other hand the manufacturers disclaim any respon- sibility for or knowledge of the proposed meeting, insisting that if such meetings are planned the men themselves did the planning. Whether the men referred to by the manufacturers are those who were made idle because of the strike of others or whether both classes were meant is not known.

BIRMINGHAM STAGES FIRST FRHT IN HOUSE

Montgomery. September 25.-(Specialo Birmingham staged the first fight in the house this morning. It grew out of the passage of the Hawkins bill a few days ago increasing the salaries of the Bir- mingham city commissioners 5000 year, the present salaries being S000 each. The increase would not take effect, however, until the expiration of the terms of present members.
 Immediately after roll call MT Arnold offered a resolution recalling the biI from the senate to which it was sent after it's passage one day last week. He stated that the bill not only increased the salaries of the commissioners, but removed all limita tions as to salaries of other city officials and employees.
 MT Hawkins explained that the bill did not affect present incumbents, and that it had been introduced by him for the purpose of inducing business men of ability to stand for the offices, stat ing that the salary of S4000 was not large enough to justify competent business men to either seek or accept the office
 One vive vote and two standing votes failed to produce a quorum, whereupon the speaker ordered the roll called, which resulted in 4 yeas and 15 nays, and the bill was recalled.
 Voting for the recall of the bill were Representatives Arnold, Dickson, Ross and Truss of Jefferson and against 1t MT. Hawkins. Representatives Benners and Harrison were absent.
