Pittsburgh, Sept. 2S.-The Pitts
burgh steel district is at high tension
tonight awaiting the supreme effort
tomorrow morning to break up the
deadlock in the steel strike. Both the
unions and the companies took ad
vantage of Sunday to line up their
supporters. Speakers from the strike
headquarters were sent TO indoor
meetings in steel towns to rally the
strikers, and hundreds Of paid organi-
zers and volunteers visited homes to
eXhort the men to stand firm and to
resist the influences set at work by
the company to bring them back to-
morrow when a general resumption
of work will be attempted in mills,
Quiet prevailed throughout the en-
tire district during the day. The
meetings were orderly but the audi
ences appeared to be somewhat
apathetic. BY the order of the sher
iff, English was the only language in
which speeches we're permitted and
the fact that many in the audiences
could not understand. and that many
were understood imperfectly, prob
ably led to the appearance of indiffer-
ence which marked the meetings
The Carnegie Steel company report
ed that more strikers returned to
work today than on any day since the
strike began. and that the next few
days would see breaking up of the
strike. Big desertions from the ranks
of the strikers tomorrow are predict
ed
Twenty automobiles belonging to
strikers were parked outside the
strike meeting at Large, Penn, which
was attended by 400 strikers from
Clarion who had no hall of their
own town Each of the speakers told
the strikers that they had the strike
won if they stood fast and resist all
efforts to induce them to break back
to work tomorrow. The speakers al
so admonished the men TO be orderly
not TO cOngregate in groups, and not
to allow themselves to be drawn into
alterations with the State constabu-
larry. They told the strikers not to he
worried about the activity in the mills
because the smoke pouring from the
stacks was produced by the clerical
forces of the companies to deceive
the newspapers as to the extent of
the strike.
The pretence that the men were
striking because of oppression and
poor wages was discarded by the or
ganizers in their addresses in the
prosperous towns to men who came
frequently in automobiles and wear
ing clothes which would not be incon-
spicuous at race track. The sub
stance of their talks was that they
had the power, if they stood by the
American Federation of Labor to
force the companies to give them
more and more money and shorter
and shorter hours. In one week,
predicted the speakers, whose ad
dresses bore close family resemb-
lance, Judge Gary and their represen-
tatives would be meeting at big
round table and settling things.

and the gates closed few policemen

thy is the absence of any disorder
Hhe completeness of the tieup seems
to have rendered picketing needless,

There were informal conferences of

London, Sept, 29,-The Gov
ernment has the strike situation well
in hand. This assurance was given
last night as the reply to an inquiry
addressed to one in authority at Dow
ming Street Ministers were coming
and going all day yesterday, and
there was great organizing activity in
all the departments concerned with
the strike; but there were no signs
cf crisis anywhere about Whitehall
Certain measures to meet the emer-
gency had to be thought out before the
decisive action taken by the railway
mems executives and these measures
have been applied swiftly and with
complete absence of ostentation so
that very few Londoners know of them
at all. The Transport Ministry, the
War Office, the Ministry of Food, the
Home Office and the Board of Trade
have been jointly and principally CON
cenred in the organization Of such a
system of road transport as would
have been brought into operation
had England been invaded in the
course of the war and the capital had
been cut off. This is operating to
maintain a supply of necessary food
stuffs and is increasing in efficiency
with the help OF volunteer workers
skilled and unskilled
What has encouraged the Govern
ment as much as anything during the
past two days is the promptness with
which citizens of all classes have come
forward in response to the call for
volunteers. This is why it has been
possible to dispatch trains in certain
directions and thus to limit the hard
ships of a number of strike-bonnd
passengers. This service it is hoped.

Training Little Children

whore children may develop natur-
ally and normally. In the kindergar-
ten they do this to the very best ad-
vantage under the careful guidance OF
. teacher trained for her work and in
the companionship Of other children.
After kindergarten has been
started, mothers should visit it fre-
quently and attend the mothers meet
ings which the kindergarten conducts
in order to explain to them the pur-
pose Of the kindergarten and how
they may help its work and influence.
In this way they will come to under
stand the value Of the games and
other activities Of the kindergarten,
and will gain many helpful ideas and
suggestions which may be used equal
ly as we'll in the home as in the kim
dergarten.
And right here should be pointed
out the opportunity the kindergarten
mother or the mother who knows
something of kindergarten methods
has in her community. She can start
the right spirit among the mothers
and children all about her if she so
desires. She can form mothers clubs
and have a kindergarten training
teacher or supervisor give talks. The
spirit of kindergarten games can be
carried into the whole community.
gathering in the fathers and mothers,
and thus greatly helping the child
welfare movement.
know a mother who never had
any kindergarten training, but be-
came interested in it when her babies
were small. She read all the books
she could find on the subject and
to understand more Of the value Of
play as Froebel explains it. Then the
mother began to apply Froebeps me-
thods systematically in the home
education of her children One of her
daughters when she grew up became
a student of mathematics and the
mother always says that the first
lesson in mathematics began when
her daughter was a little girl and
wore curls each morning, the child
would count, and add and subtract
them and thus an instructive as we'll
as a merry game was made out OF
what is usually a tedious perform
ance.
This mother has brought up four
children, but even though the boys
and girls are all grown, this family
has never lost its play spirit. How
far we stray from the path of youth
fulness and joy in starving the play
side of our makeup! A man is old
only when he has lost the love of
play. 1t is not merely, "Come, let US
live with our children" but "Come
let US play with our children"
