(By Associated Press.)
The preliminary skirmish in
the great industrial struggle
which opened today between the
labor unions and the United
States Steel corporation, which
directly or indirectly affects half
a million wage-earners, produced
the usual conflicting claims by
the generals on both sides.
In the great strategic centers of
the struggle, the Chicago and
Pittsburg districts, many thou
sands of workers obeyed the
strike order, but early reports
stated that comparatively few
plants had beer compelled to
close.
At large number of the out
lying points officials of the
smaller plants reported they were
operating as usual.
Ebert H. Gary, chairman of
Ine DOaru OIL directors OF tne steel
corporation, refused to make any
comment on the situation.
Secretary Foster, of the steel
workers union, issued a state
ment expressing satisfaction with
the outlook and claiming that re-
ports from outside the Pittsburgh
district showed that the shut
down was general.
An important feature of the
situation was the announcement
by representatives of the $4,000
workers employed by the Bethle-
hem Steel company that these
men would not join the strike
pending an attempt to obtain a
with the company
officials.
Some of the blast furnaces in
the Pittsburgh district were
banked, but the majority of the
plants We're in operation, al
though with forces reduced from

also claimed that the great ma

that all three had been forced to
suspend operations.
At the less important points
in Ohio and Pennsylvania, in

By r r. FOSTER.

Among the new ideas that are con-
tinuslly cropping up in the bidding at
auction there Ii one that does not ap-
pear to be in any Of the text books. and
that Ia the third hands reopenins the
bidding for his partner when the dealer
starts with q minor suit
The idea seems to be thisi There are
SO many hands In which, the dealer has
a good secondary bid in 9 major suit
the support for which Is two or three
sure tricks in q minor suit The major
suit 10 q bad opening bid, on principle;
but In order to indicate q lead, In case
the opponent on the left gets the con-
tract, the dealer bids the minor suit
hoping to get in the major suit bid on
the netx round.
Tho objection to the minor suit bid 10
that he may be left with It, and there
will be no next round, and therefore no
chance to make his secondary bid.
The alternative seems to be to pass.
To bid the major suit originally, when
It is properly a secondary bid, gives
the partner a wrong indication OF the
suit that should be led 10 save game in
case the second bidder gets the contract
Nothing Is so discouraging to a good
partner as digging away at a suit when
there 10 nothing in II. In many hands
game might have been saved or the Sec
| ond hand effectually prevented from 60
| ing to no trumps had the supporting
minor suit been shown or the hand
passed up without q bid at all.
In these days, when length in clubs or
diamonds 10 not considered as essential
for an original call, the only argument
against bidding the two sure tricks in a
supporting minor suit when there is a
good secondary bid back of It Is that
the minor suit may be left in and will
have to play the hand at a contract that
cannot possibly win the game.
Taking all these facts into considera-
ton, there has lately been developed a
system OF bidding which seems to re-
move most OF the objections to the orig
inal minor suit bid that supports a Sec
ondary major suit bid and at the same
time avoids the necessity for turning
secondary bids into original bids.
The theory and practice. as 1t now
stands, appears to be this: II the
dealer stars the bidding with one in a
minor suit and the second hand passes.
IL the third hand Is able to support a
better declaration he should reopen the
bidding by advancing the original bid
to two tricks, always provided the hand
Is one which would Justify an assist had
the second hand overcalled.
To illustrate: The dealer bids a club
and second hand bids some better suit
anything but no trumps. II the third
hand has the cards to justify an assist
in clubs. bidding two. he should equally
bid two clubs IL the second hand passes
so as to reopen the bidding for his part
ner.
II the dealer cannot make two by
cards in clubs against two adversaries
who have not a bid between them, In
case he Is left with 1t, the distribution
must be rather unusual If he has nc
better bid. after being encouraged &c
make II, his hand must also be an un.
usual one.
Here Is a deal which think Offered
an excellent opportunity for this bid
but only one table out of seven tool

table that went game on the hand. A
two tables the deal was thrown up.

LARSEN ASPIRES TO
PENTATHLON TITLE
Great High Jumper Ambitious
to Shine as All Around
Athlete.

When Clinton Larsen, national high
jump champion, sailed for France with
the A. E. F. team track candidates from
this side the Atlantic he took with
him the firm belief that he would win
his speciality with jump of about 6
feet inches.
Larsen spent the last few days at tn,
jumping pit at Columbia University get
ting in trim after his four day trip from
Salt Lake City. where he is a student at
Brigham Young University. He had
been suffering from a slightly strained
tendon in his right thigh. Just to show
that the injury really amounts to little
he cleared the bar at six feet in a trial
leap and didn't half try.
Larsen Is more than a high jumper.
He is a remarkable all around athlete |;
stands about 5 feet 8 inches in his stock
ings, weighs a few pounds over $50 and
Is we'll set up in every way. He has a
quick smile and flashing eyes that make
up for slight diffidence In manner.
But he has two very keen regrets.
His Two Regrets.
One OF these is that the National Am
uleuT alhlCllC ldllCu " dNNGpl d
certified jump OF feet "a inches. a
worlds record, which he made in a set
OF games In Utah on July 4, 1917. and
the other is that a little piece of stiff
paper pinned to his back pulled over the
bar in the Pennsylvania relay games OF
1917, when he had cleared 6 feet rs
inches.
It is Larsens intention next year.
when he will still be a student at
Brigham Young, to come East to conf
pete in the pentathlon championship al
the Pennsylvania relay meet. To prove
he is competent to do we'll in the pen
tathlon. Larsen submitted his record
| made In Brigham Young-Ctah dua
| meet at Brigham Young a few weeks
ago, when he won the high jump at
feet 3 inches, the broad jump at % feet
| 6 inches, the pole vault at IL feet
inches, the discus at 113 feet and the
javelin at 1853 feet.
/ A Good Splinter.
As schoolboy he ran the 100 ir

training he would do as well now. The
only event that would bother him, HI
