which blackheads and pimples be-
come a second nature to 1t.
"Pimples come from the circulation
OF the blood" they tell you In words
they cannot explain. True enough,
pimples sometimes result from an
overabundance OF foods, such as
sweets, starches, crackers, vegetables,
pickles, fats and richly prepared
meats. When this is true the rest

Repairing Blaekhead Damages.
Pimples and blackheads may also
arise from dirt. The cleanest fingers
themselves are dirty and generally
transfer foreign particles to the skin,
clog up the oil pores. which causes
blackheads to form and interfere
with the normal work or the perspi-
, ration and oil glands.
The blackhead soon brings on the

To squeeze a pimple OF a blackhead
is to make bad business worse. The
dirt cannot be safely removed from
the skin in this injurious way. More
over, the blood corpuscles In the re-

BETHLEHEM STEEL
STRIKE IS WEAK
Union Leaders Claim Reveals
Proportion of Men Out
Is Small
SENATE INQUIRY IS ASKED
BIZ a Star Correspondent

Bethlehem, Oct. Fifteen hun
dred Bethlehem steel strikers, meeting
at Allentown last night. directed send
ing of telegram asking the Senate
steel probers to investigate the conGi-
tions at the big plants here.
bethlehem steel officials admit 1900
men are out. Either estimate shows the
weakness of the strike, as from 10000
to $4,000 are employed at the local
plant. The union claims double this
number.
The meeting was held in Lyric Hall
Allentown. The refusal of Bethlehem
city officials to allow meetings in this
city made it necessary for the strikers
to go to Allentown. The meeting was
orderly, but the attitude of the mer
was determined.
The men at the meeting came from
Allentown, Bethlehem and nearby
towns. 1t was claimed by the leaders
that hundreds were unable to be pres
ent owing to the distance of Allentown
from their homes.
Want Grievances Heard
The strikers say they can win with
out further accessions of strength, and
referred to their fight as portion O
the big country wide steel strike, ant

The telegram sent to Senator Ken
yon follows:

$50 far as I know they have had moth
ing to do with any of these outbreaks. "
He added that it was possible that
some of the company's guards had par
ticipated in disturbances since the steel
strike began, but pointed out that Mrs.
Sellens was killed before the strike
stared.
referring to testimony of President
Gcmpers, of the American Federation of
Labor, that Jefferson d. Pierce, union
organizer, had been beaten by company
agents while attempting to organize
unions in the steel mills and died from
injuries, Judge Gary read an affidavit
which he said had been sent to his office
on September 27 by Pierce's son.
"I was with my father the night he
received his injuries" said the affidavit,
"and he said they were not caused by
apy agents of the Steel Corporation. ="
Answers Gompers's Charge
"He was injured by member of
the I. W. w. faction which was en-
deavoring to gain control of the organi-
xation. I wish to refute most en-
phaticaily the charge of Mr.. Gompers
that his death was caused by any agent
of the United States Steel Corporation.
He died one year later of cancer re-
sulting from the wound"
Judge Gary then took up the state
ment of John Fitzpatrick, chairman of
Nthe steel strikers committee, that men
had been killed at Hammond, Ind, dur :
ing the steel strike.
''We have no connection with the
Standard Steel Company there" he
said, "and had no connection with the
incident"
''This strike has been conducted in
many respects like other strikes" Mr..
Gary continued. "Only worse in some
of its features. The large majority OF
our workmen were not desirous of en-
gaging in a strike. They were not mem
bers of any labor unions, having de-
clined to become such year after year.
WoriSmen Loyal During War
Throughout the war, our workmen
were loyal. While it is true that there
IS radical element Of foreigners Mt the
present time, it is only doing justice to
say that in my opinion. the majority Of
the foreigners were good citizens"
''Do you mean by foreigners those
