SHIFTING OF LABOR
NEW STEEL PROBLEM
Many Unsked Workers Are Leaving the Country Result
of Strike Market For Some Months Expected to Be-
long to the Seller; Producers Will Hold
Down Prices

New York, Oct. 9.-Declaring that
the back bone of the steel strike is
broken, the Iron Age to-day says
chief interest is centered in condi-
tions which the industry now faces.
Return to normal operations will be

aggravated losses by emigration, the
market for some months will defi-
nitely belong to the seller. 1t then

Department of Agriculture COM

report forecasting a yield of 2,900,-
$1,000 bushels. Practically all of
the crop has, or will, mature with
out frost damage, assuring high
feeding value. Husking and crib
bing has begun.
Blight, scab and black rust, to-
gether with minor ills, brought the
good early prospects for spring

ing now shows almost 100000
bushel less than forecast a month

potatoes an increase of $4,000

POLICE HALT
REDS PARADE
Charge Into Mob of Radicals
on Fifth Avenue,
New York

New York, Oct. 9.-Heads were
broken in Fifth avenue yesterday
when mounted police charged a
mob of several thousand radicals
who attempted to parade up the
avenue without permit. Banners,
which bore a number of incendiary
slogans, were confiscated by the po-
lice and half filled a patrol wagon.
A number of arrests were made.
The police said the parade was or
ganized by a Russian newspaper
published here. entitled Novi Mir.
Devices on the, banners read:
Bloody Hounds of Russia!" De
port Us All to the Soviets!" "You
Want to Give Us Democracy But
Kept 1t to Yourselves!" and open
the Jails!"
The riot started after the process
sion had gone only two or three
blocks Refusing the request of a
policeman to see their permit for
the parade, the officer was forced to
call for aid and before the melee
ended the services of n score of
mounted policemen and fifty re-
serves were required. The mounted
officers charged into the crowd and
100 or more of the paraders were
injured.
Four men and young woman, all
OF them aliens, were taken to police
headquarters from the headquarters
or the Russian Soviet bureau by
detectives from the bomb squad"
Considerable radical literature was
said to have been found on them,
but they were not placed under ar
rest The police detained them
pending an opinion from the Dis
trict Attorneys Office as to whether
they could be held for distributing
Bolshevik literature. A fifth man,
who gave his name as Anthony
