Retres as Y. M. C. A. Secretary to Go
Into Insurance Business.


H. A. Wilkinson, who resigned from
the secretaryship of the local Young
Mems Christian Association on Sep
tember 30th, announces that he has
become an agent of the Travellers In
surance Company of Hartford, Conn,

Bennington.
Mr.. Wilkinson looks upon the work
of an insurance salesman, whose
business 1t is to promote thrift, to pro-
vide protection for those deprived of
support by death, and to tighten old
age, as comparing favorably with
the professions of the doctor lawyer,
minister and others. This is testified
to especially since universities led by
Yale, are establishing insurance
courses. He does not feel that he is
entirely giving up social service in
leaving the Y. NJ. c. A., but rather is
substituting one form for another.
The Travellers Insurance company
is one of the Oldest companies. and is
the leading exponent Of guaranteed
low-cost insurance coupled with the
highest security, Besides offering
life accident and health insurance,
the Travellers lines includes compen-
sation and liability, group insurance,
automobile, plate glass, burglary, ele-
vator, fly-wheel, etc.
1t is Mr.. Wilkinson's desire to fur
nish expert advice in matters pertain
ing to insurance protection, savings

Washington, Oct 1.-Elbert H.
Gary, chairman of the Board of Direc-
tors and as such, Chief Executive Off
Ger cf the United States Steel Corpor
alton, today defended the corporations
stand in the events leading up to the
steel strike. He was passive and, at
the same time, an affable witness. He
contended that most of the Steel Cor
poration's employees had been and were
opposed to the strike and that of the
more than 256000 men on the payrolls
of the corporation. 40 per cent only
bhad responded to the strike order.
Mr.. Gary declared the assertions of
Samuel Gompers, President of the
American Federation of Labor and
John Fitzpatrick, Chairman of the Ma
tional Strike Committee. that the
United States Steel corporation dictat-
ed the administration of law in the
Pennsylvania steel districts and that
labor organizers and union men had
been beaten and killed by men EN-
plcyed by the Steel Corporation.
Mir Gompers testified last week that
several years ago jefferson Davis
Pierce, organizer Of the American
Federation of Labor, had gone into the
Pennsylvania steel districts in behalf
of the Federation and that he was ia
tally injured by agents of the Steel
Corporation. MIR. Gary produced an
affidavit, made by Pierce's son, in
which the latter swore that Mr.. Com
pers was in error and that instead of
being victim of men in the employ
of or in sympathy with the Steel Cor
poration, his father was assaulted by
|. W. w. agitators, who at that time,
said young Pierce, were conducting a
campaign to organize the steel workers
independent of and in opposition to
the campaign of the American Feder-
alton of Labor.
Besides Mr. Gary there appeared as
witnesses for the Steel Corporation
twenty of its employees. all of them
skilled workers, and no two of them
employed in the same mill or plant.
They were for the most part veteran
American working men whose wages
vary from SO to $50 a day They came
to Washington in response to a re-
quest of the Senate Committee. Five
took the stand today.
Positive as was the testimony of
Mr.. Gary, that of the five workmen
was even more positive regarding some
OF the more important phases of the (
strike situation. The fifteen other
working men We're in the room and
viii take the stand when Mr. Gary
ends his testimony tomorrow.
The working men stated that they
owned their own homes and that thev !
owned stock in the corporation and /
they were as one in declaring that the /
strike had failed so far as the Ameri |
can. element employed by the Steel /
Corporation was concerned and that 1
most OF the foreigners who had gone |
out were the victims of intimidation
and threats by agitators who had |
swarmed into the districts to stir up
trouble. The witnesses testified that
no effort had been made 10 organize
the Americans.
John j. Martin of Youngstown swore
that in his opinion no strike vote had
ever been taken in the steel industry
and that the labor leaders had called |
the strike without reference to the
views of the men as they might have
been expressed through the ballot.

such disastrous drubhing in an OPP

That irrepressible spirit which
carried Pat Moran's players to the Ma

to violent storm in the fourth in

of $1,000 into delirious spasm of pop
eyed enthusiasm by clubbing Eddie

of the box
AS Cicotte, with head bowed in de-
feat, walked slowly to the bench the
name of a new worlds series hero
was being shouted with loud acclaim
Amid this deafening roar, hundreds of
telegraph instruments were ticking
the name of Walter Ruether to all
parts Of the sporting world. What
Ruether did today will mark one. of
the brightest pages of baseball
achievement.
This left handler, who up to this
season had been just an ordinary un-
tanned southpaw, did enough to beat
the White Sox single handed. His
cas-" perfectly controlled pitching,
brought the batting enthusiasm of the
Chicago sluggers to an abrupt stop.
With his savage bat. Reuther was re-
sponsible for four of the Reds nine

The gathering included many of the
most prominent men of the Middle

gressmen, and politicians of lesser
fame Every available seat was taken
and the fans wore standing up behind

looked like bush leaguers, All the pre-
dictions, as well as form, were knock

which has sent the Reds along for so
many weeks at terrific gait, was
still in evidence and once it started,
the White Sox were powerless There
was that ability to concentrate the
attack and this came in the fourth in
