INJURED
 IN STRIKE RIOT
Strikers Clash With Workers One Shot and Many Are WOunded-MOre Soldiers Are Requested.

Pittsburgh, Oct. 21.-Rioting which broke out in the Braddock steel mill district today, was renewed tonight when a crowd of about fifty strikers and their sympathizers clashed with several workers who had just left one of the plants. One man was shot and many others were injured.
 State troopers rushed to the scene and rode into the mob, using riot clubs freely. When the troopers put in an appearance, the crowd greeted them with a shower of stones, clubs and bottles, and an unidentified man drew revolver and fired five shots, one of which struck Joseph Dinnock. He was not seriously hurt.
 The troopers finally dispersed the mob and arrested two men, who, ac- cording to the police, had sustained severe injuries.
 In the rioting of today and tonight more than score of worlSmen were injured, it was said, and they were rushed to the emergency hospital at the Edgar Thomson steel works. Washington, Oct. 21.-Leaders in the steel strike are so "well pleased with the conduct of federal troops" at Gary, Indiana, thta the government has been asked to send soldiers into the Pittsburgh strike district, John Fitzpatrick, chairman of the strikers committee said today. MT. Fitzpat- rick came here to discuss the strike with Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and other members of the labor group in the national industrial conference. MT. Fitzpatrick said the troops at Gary had guaranteed the constitu- tional rights of free speech and as- sembly and thus had relieved the tension" there. In this connection he denounced the brutality" of the Pennsylvania state constabulary. Mir. Fitzpatrick charged that pub licity agents of the steel corporation had manufactured" the fred" propa- ganda found in Gary for the purpose of bringing suspicion on the strikers.
 He said that most of "these danger ous documents" when translated were found to be nothing more than ex- cerpts from Tom Sawyer"
 While the strikers would welcome
 arbitration by the industrial confer
 ence Fitzpatrick said they were de- termined to win with or without as- sistance.

morrow it will be in practically the same position as at the opening on October 6. In adjourning the session tonight Secretary Lane declared that the conference "had produced noth- ing" and advised it to take new start by adjourning several days while co-ordinating committee of not more than six members frames pro- gram of action"
 Defeated on every point, and hav- ing lost the support of the public group, which heretofore has been on the side of the workers, the labor dele gates left the conference hall tonight disheartened and feeling, as some of them said, that little could be gained by further meetingss However, a meeting of the group has been called for o'clock tomorrow morning and individual members will be bound by action taken at that time.
 Should labor show a disposition to bolt the conference, Chairman Lane will undoubtedly use the presidents letter in an effort to avert the crisis. Reading of the letter was said to be entirely discretionary with the chair man, who declared that he would not produce it unless the situation be- came acute. It was generally pre- dicted tonight that the workers would not withdraw. The presidents mes sage, it was understood, re-states the purpose for which the conference was convened, emphasizes the urgency o1 the need for allaying industrial un- rest, and makes a plea for further work on the part of the conferees.
 The morning session of the confer ence lasted only few minutes, ant the afternoon meeting was not con vened until 5 o'clock. The entire day

was devoted to group meetings in an attempt to devise another declaration on collective bargaining, satisfactory to all elements. After more than three days of almost continuous ses- sions, the employers were unable to agree upon another statement and fell back upon the Wheeler substi- tute.

LABOR PROPOSALS

Public Group Aligns With Capi- tai Against Bargaining Pro- posals - Labor Has Little Hope. Left.

Washington, Oct. 21.-After a day of uncertainty, during which President Wilson sent to Secretary Lane, chair man, message of conciliation to be used as "last resort" the national industrial conference tonight cleaned it's slate by rejecting all collective bargaining resolutions, as well as the labor proposal for intervention in the steel strike.
 The public group aligned with capi- tai on the vote against both the orig inal collective bargaining and steel strike resolutions, although the de- claration on collective bargaining was proposed by the public delegates. Prior to the vote on the original de- claration, the employers substitute and two new amendments by Thomas l.. Chadbourne, chairman of the con- feernce's central committee, met de- feat. Only the employers favored the substitute, and labor and public united in the opposition.

CzechO-SlOUdk Record
GFrom the New York Tribune.

From the New OrK tribune
Aspersions on the Czecho- -Slovaks
who fought in Russia are answered
by Nine. Catherine X. Breshkovsky,
the venerable GRANDMOTHER" of the
Russian revolution. Nine. Bresh
kovsky came in close personal con-
tact with the CZechro- -Slovaks at
Omsk, Ekaterinburg. Ufa, Samara
and other East Russian and Siber-
ian cities. She testifies enthusiastic
ally to their discipline. courage and
kindliness and to the affection in
which they were held by the Russian
populations which they rescued from
the clutches of Lenine's Red Guards.
1t stands TO reason that the
CZecho- o-Slovaks were humane and
considerate in their treatment of the
Russian communities in which they
operated. They were soldiers with
the highest military ideals. They
were intense patriots, fighting for the
liberation of their own country from
Austro- Hungarian OPPRESSION. They
could never have remained in Rus
sia-a handful of men, thousands of
miles from any base of supplies-if
they had not won the confidence and
support of the civilian population.
They were not looters and mercen-
aries, like the Red Guards. They
were not fighting for plumber or
power. They were not making civil
war. Lenine foolishly prevented them
from leaving the country. They stay
ed on and fought him because he
had sold himself to Germany.
The Czescho-Slovak adventure in
Russia was one of the great rom
ances of the war. Only soldiers. with
clean hands and spirit of chivalry
could have carried that adventure
through. The results of the campaign
made by the CZecho-Slovaks speak
for themselves. Hardly 100000
strong, they conquered Siberia and
drove the Bolshevists back to the
line of the .Volga. They contributed
more than any other one influence to
prevent Lenine's delivering Russia
Siberia into the hands of the Ger
mans.
Nine. Breshkovsky says of them:
Everywhere and in all circum-
stances I found them the same
noble, unselfish, strong in their du-
ties and faith l always found
them fine men, beloved and es-
teemed by all the Russians"
She means of course, by the real
Russians, not the criminal and blood
thirsty followers of Lenine. Their
work IL to be judged not only by the
friends but also by the enemies they
made.

THE FIGHTING PRIVATE

[James ]. Montague. in New YORK
Americana
He has not come home with sam
Browne belt,
Or chevron to dress parade in;
He was out of luck when the cards
were dealt
In the perlious game he played in.
But he did the job he was sent to do,
Nor Stacked for single minute.
And his squad kept on till it smashed
clear through
Because he was there-and in 1t.
Brimful of fight were the men who
led,
And. when you have read their
story,
And counted the names on their roll
of dead,
You will know they have earned
their glory.
But when they drove that wedge in
the line.
The lad that was sent to drive it.
And went-with never a growl or
Was the little old fighting private.
With mud for bed and slum for his
chow,
But plucky and eager hearted
He stuck it out to the end somehow,
And finished the job he'd started.
He doesn't worry about his lot,
His spirit is still undaunted.
Fame passed him by-but the chance
he got
Was all that he ever wanted.
Some heroes are puffed by the praise
they've had,
And they never will quite survive
it;
But we'll take a chance on this husky
lad,
Three cheers for the fighting pri-
vate!

ment of the remaining 2 per cent
is matter which lies wholly be-

pay only l per cent i'll the bonds
which they have issued. If a tax

collect from the corporation 2 per

force the corporation to pay per

the usual procedure is for the bank,
at which such interest coupon or

corporation pays over to the Gov

SHOULDER INSIGNIA

YEARLY everybody has been
N puzzled by the insignia of SOL
diers returning from France.
Distinctive insignia is now worn on
the left shoulder by all members
of combat divisions and by corps and
army troops. During combat the
insignia assisted in identifying men
of units which became mixed up,
and often assisted in reforming
them. 1t has been a factor in de-
veloping divisional spirit and it also
has its use painted on vehicles and
other divisional army property.
There is an interesting story be-
hind the adoption of almost every
design. State traditions, early mill
tary achievements, symbolical
beasts, all have furnished .inspira-
tions for the insignia. The Telegraph,
beginning to-day, will publish one
each day. The skeleton histories of
front line activity and captures are
from official A. f. f. records.
Other drawings and histories will
be printed in later issues until the
list is complete.

" HERE are very distinct signs

medical observer. Most assuredly;
it's not usual to have two epidemics

all signs fail another is about due.
The germs appear to have been car
ried north by the bluebird and rob-
ins and already the disease is get
ting in its deadly work. Down south
they call it the hookworm. Up here
it is simply spring fever and while
the season is still young the mild
winter is responsible for the present
violence of the outbreak.
Spring fever is an old malady.
Nobody ever has been able to find a

The utmost energy of Niagara rep
resentS but an insignificant propor-
tion of the water power potentially
available on our estate, where the
possibilities of development attain
an estimated total of two million
horsepower. Five million tons of coal
a day would hardly generate as much.
The water now flowing idly from
our highlands to the sea could turn
every factory wheel and every cleo
trio generator in the country, oper-
ate our railroads, and still leave
much energy to spare for, new de-
mands.
We have developed scarcely per
cept of it's ultimate possibilities, and
only about 10 per cent of those
which are readily available without
elaborate provision for storage. We
have common carriers for freight in
our railroads, for oil in pipelines. for
intelligence in our telephone, tele-
graph, and cable systems. We need
now to develop n great common
carrier system for energy, which
shall nationalize industrial oppor-
tunity now limited to favored and
restricted areas. and by eliminating
the transportation of unnecessary
coal, relieve our railroads of the ma
jor portion of their heaviest burden.
The integrated development OF our
river systems is thus intimately
bound UP with flood prevention
through storage, agriculture through
irrigation, transportation, and the
generation and wider distribution OF
power, which is the prime mover
Of Industry. Half way measures will
not serve. The problem demands
broad constructive policy which shall
take due account of all it's several
