Conflicting Statements

But There Is an Increase in Mill Oper-

Struck at the Bethlehem Plant -
Claims Some Sympathetic Strikes.

Today, proclaimed by both sides as one
of crucial test in the great steel strike,
opened with the situation still obscure be-
cause of conflicting claims The oppos-
ing leaders issued contradictory state
ments in regard to the scheduled strike
of the 10000 workers in the plant of the
Bethlehem Steel corporation The corp
Grafton officials claimed the strike call
had been obeyed only by a comparatively
insignificant number and that operations
were continuing in all their mills The
union chiefs replied with claim that the
huge plant at Bethlehem was completely
crippled and that the power house had
been forced to cl1se
Reported conditions in the tther
great steel centers indicated that
the balance was being he'd fairly
equitaby between the opposing sides On
the one hand there was nothing to sup
port the prediction of the steel company
officials that the day would see wholesale
desertions in the ranks of the strikers and
ON the other hand there was a definite in
crease in mill operations
At Farrell III the Pittsburgh district
one Of the most hotly contested sectors
on the fighting front. the Carnegie Steel
company resumed the operation of two
blast furnaces.
At Youngstown, where the strikers
have so far been successful i'll completely
paralyzing the steel industry, groups OF
workers entered a Carnegie company
plant, but the superintendent stated op
erations would not be resumed for the
present
Strikers at Cleveland claimed they hat

pany through a sympathetic walkout o
ore and coal handlers.

AMERICAN LEGION
TENT AT THE FAIR
strenuous Effort to Be Made to In
crease Membership in Brattleboro
Post-Local Committee.

A strenuous effort viii be made this
week by the membership committee TO
secure large number of new members
Tor Brattleboro post, American Legion,
and with this end in view the committee
will have headquarters in tent next to
the race track at the Valley fair grounds
Tuesday and Wednesday The chairman
Of the committee also announced TODAY
that he expects to have membership but
tons which may be secured at the head
quarters by any member who already
has enrolled in the Legion. They also
may be secured from members of the
committee.
Brattleboro post already has mem
bership of about 1870. and although no
quota has been set for its share in the
drive for 100000 members. the local
post should have much larger mem
bership, as the honor roll contains the
names of upwards of 800 persons, and
everyone who enlisted in the service
should become member of the Legion.
Some have thought that as long as they
did not go overseas they would not be
eligible to membership in the Legion.
There are no distinctions between over
| seas men and men who did not get over
seas. 1t includes every soldier, sailor
or marine and any woman who was regu-
| larly enlisted or commissioned in the
army navy or marine corps, and who
served honorablv between April 6. 1917
and Nov. II, 1918.
| 1t is expected that a state meeting
viii be held in Burlington about the see
| ond week in October, and every post is
entitled to one delegate for every /,
paid-up members. At the last state
meeting there were not sufficient mem
bers in the Brattleboro post to entitle il
to representation and it is the desire o
the committee to show substantial
increase this week in order that as man,
delegates as possible may go to Bur
lington, and they urge every person VIII
was in the service to enroll for member

ATHLETICS CLOSE SEASON.
Defeat Winchester 10 to in Winches-
ter Saturday

The Athletics closed their season
Saturday by defeating Winchester in
the New Hampshire town by the score
of 10 to 3. B. Quigley was batted
freely in the first inning and the locals
netted three runs at the start. Walker,
the old Hinsdale player, was first to
bat for Winchester and when he con-
nected the drum corps that had ap-
peared on the field a few minutes pre-
vious to the starting of the game,
burst forth with an enormous amount
of noise which was signal to the spec
tators to exercise their lungs to the
full extent. However, this was of no
avail as johnson did not rattle and the
side was retired without doing any
damage.
In the second inning after the locals
had gathered four more runs and two
were out Quigley retired to first base
in favor of Manning, who had been
covering the initial sack. The locals
put one more run across on Manning
which gave them a lead of eight before
the side was finally put out. In Win
chester S half of the second they goi
one run and in the fourth the Athletic.
added one more run to their lead.
/ The New Hampshire town had lit
| tie rally in the sixth but were unable
to put but two runs over. In the sew
enth the Athletics scored their final rui
which ended the scoring for both side
for the day.

tempted to operate trains on
skeleton schedules. Hitherto the
strike has caused almost complete
suspension on English roads.
Ninety per cent Of the railway
workers in Scotland are idle, but
few trains were run there on
Sunday for passengers and per-
ishable food. Irish roads are not
a. vet involved in the strike, but
the men there have been instruc-
ted by union headquarters to
hold themselves in readiness to
walk out at any moment. Concern
is felt over the possibility of the
strike spreading to the miners
and transport workers unions,
which are affiliated with the ma
tional union of railwaymen
London is being fed by means
of fleets OF motor lorries which
bring milk and other food stuffs
to the city. The government has
appealed to the people to econo-
mize as much as possible in pet
rol fuel and food.
One hundred thousand miners
are idle in the South Wales coal
fields as a result of the railroad
strike. Many colleries are clos
ing down and the Swanzea har-
Dor trade is paralyzed.

flights each day of the fair
With practically every stall in both
of the race horse barns full, the problem
that confronted the fair directors this
morning was not to find horses enough
to fill the scheduled classes, but whether
it would not be necessary to open an
extra class on Wednesday to accommo-
date all who want to compete. So many
horses are ready to start in the 2.l6
pace that it is not improbable that q
215 pace viii be added to Wednesdays
card, making four races each day.
The advance sale of grandstand re-
served seats has been the largest in the
history of the association thus far and
there is every Indication that the big

will continue throughout this afternoon
and evening at the board of trade rooms.
