wFOREIGN MONEY ORDERS.
Government Retrictions Prevent
Sending Much Money to Europe.

The foreign money order depart
nent of the postof1ice has not been
a busy place since the war started
and it has changed but little since the
armistice was signed. The reason is
t1AS many limitations on sending
money orders. At the present time
about the only countries that can re-
cefve them are Switzerland, Sweden,
Italy and Great Britain. The amounts
to Sweden are limited to $50 per
month to one person. This is because
the government loses money on the
money orders to Sweden as the money
of this government is worth more.
7Rhere have been many applications
for money orders for Belgium but
much to the sorrow of the local peo-
pie that country is financially down
. and out and no orders are permitted
@sent. Several applications have been
preceived to send money orders to
Germany but these also are barred

New York. Nov. 25.-The police
authorities throughout the country
and even abroad have been asked
to search for w. w. yesterday, who
John T.. Dooling. assistant district
attorney, says is head of the gang
of bond thieves responsible for the
theft of securities worth more than
$l,000,000 in the Wall street district
in the last few months. Further
evidence that Easterday is the mas
ter mind behind the wholesale lar
cenies was revealed yesterday
through an examination of the
books of the firm of Sullivan & Co.,
at 10 Wall street.
I'VE are becoming more and more
convinced that Sullivan, Bowles and
the others were merely cogs in the
machine, and that they moved as
Easterday directed" Mr.. Dooling
said.

STEEL STRIKE
UTTERLY FAILS
Pittsburgh District Mills Oper-
ating "a Per Cent, Despite
Coal Walkout

Pittsburgh. Nov. 25. - Complete
failure of the steel strike, which
started 10 weeks ago, and n loss of
almost $40, 100000 in pay to the
strikers, is shown by figures given
out by operators of mills in the Pitts
burgh district, the center of the steel
industry in the United States. Plants
here are now turning out "a per
cent of their normal production be-
fore the strike despite the fact that
many of the mills have been unable
to resume operation because of the
walkout of coal miners.
Reports of mills that have reopen
ed, with close to their full force or
employees at work, come in daily.
Less than 10 per cent of 162,474 men,
who either answered the strike call
or were forced out of work by the
shutdown of the plants affected by
the walkout, are still idle. Many
workers, formerly employed in other
industries, have come to TINS dlS-
trict and are filling the places OF
those who have not as yet returned
to their furnaces There is still
shortage of 10000 common laborera
in the plants. but as this is con-
dition that existed prior to the
from reaching their capacity out
put of pre-strike times.
10000 Cambria Men Back
Evidence that even in the most
rabid strike districts the men are
rapidly returning to work was given
to-day, when the Cambria Steel
Company of Johnstown, started oper-
alton of another furnace in its
Franklin plant, making a total of
E,,II HI A.
gates TO the Cambria plants swung
open this morning 1000 more men
were put to work than left the mills
Saturday afternoon. This brings the
number of strikers who have re-
turned to work in the plants of this
company up to 10000. The Cam
bria mines last week, operators esti-
mate, produced about 80 per cent OF
their weekly output before the walk
out.
Increased operation of plants is
promised for this week. The Cam
bria companys blooming mill, which
rolls out great ribbons of steel. will
resume to-day, while the Gautier
mills will be running tomorrow.
Wheeling w. Va. is the only large
center that is still completely tied
up. This is not due to unwilling
ness on the part of the strikers to
go back to work, for they have
voted in favor of ending the walk
out, but the large steel companies
own and operate their own coal
mines and, as a result. cannot reopen
their mills until the coal controversy
is settled.
Many Foreigners Depart
Thousands of foreign workmen

native countries. Ii is said. To OFF,
set this total loss of available labor
operators have imported many
Mexicans and negroes to do the
heavy unskilled work which had
been performed by these men.
In the 10 weeks of the strike seven
lives were lost in rioting and other
disturbances; several hundred men
were injured property damage
amounted to s153,150 and the steel
companies loss, which is based on
tonnage figures given by the strike
committee, the only estimate obtain
able, reached S250,000,00O.
