Three of New Castle
Injured Are Likely
to Die, Following Riot
9N Associated PreSs.

New Castle, Pa, Sept. '23.-With
State police, $50 deputy sheriffs
and scores of policemen pa
trolling the streets about the steel
plants here, the situation following
serious riots last night was slightly
improved early to-day. Nine per-
sons, two women and seven men,
shot last night in addition to the
stabbing of one policeman and in
juring of another with a club, in an
attack on the plant of the Carnegie
Steel Company. Three of the in
jured likely will die, it is said.
Rioting assumed serious proper
tions late yesterday when rioters
stoned workmen in their way to
the mills. Five workmen were
caught against stone wall and
were being stoned by a mob when
guards set out to rescue them. A
pitched battle took place before the
guards rescued the injured men.
Two policemen were injured when
they attempted to disperse a crowd
which refused to allow workers to
enter the Shenango works of the
American Sheet Tin Plate Company.
The riots followed the appearance
of several hundred men said to be
from Youngstown, Ohio.
Thirty persons were arrested last
night charged with rioting and
carrying concealed weapons. With
the arrival of a score of State con-
stabulary, the strike zone will be
cleared up here to-day, it is believ-
ed. Mills are being operated at
about per cent. capacity, accord
ing to plant officials.

STRIKERS QUIET
AT WAYNESBORO
Work May Be Besumed in
Plants in Factory Town
Tomorrow

Waynesboro, Pa, Sept. 23.-The
strike situation is quiet here to-day.
Warned by their leaders to respect
the deputies sworn in by Sheriff Enos
II. Horst, the strikers have re-
Trained from violence. 1t was said
to-day that work may be resumed
in the closed plants tomorrow, al
though this notice was not official.
Business men of Waynesboro,
keenly alive to the seriousness of the
situation, prevailed upon the manu-
facturers to confer with them on
the situation in the hope that the
trouble might end and work go
ahead as before at the borough's
industrial plants.
The firmness with which the
Franklin county authorities took hold
of the situation has had much to do
with quieting the situation. All day
yesterday the Sheriffs deputies were
on duty on the streets, but they
found no infraction of law.
Constable Walter Klipp, Cham
bersburg, yesterday, was in Way
nesboro serving warrants on num-
ber of men who were implicated in
the trouble at the local plants the
18th and 18th of this month.
Eighty-six warrants were served
in all. Sixty-five of these were for
the trouble on the 10th, while the
other 81 warrants were for Of
fenses committed on the 10th. The
charges are assault and battery and
riot.
The Landis Machine Company,
following the labor disturbance here,
has secured an option on ten acres
of land in Hagerstown, for a contem-
plated new plant. 1t also is consid-
ering a location in Lancaster. A
committee composed of President j.
J. Oller and Directors w. L. Minick
and j. G. Moomaw, went to that
city yesterday to look over a site
and proposition offered by that city.
1t is not believed definite move in
either direction will be made if the
effort now in progress by leading cit
izens to settle the local strike is
successful

MILLS in EAST
PENNA. OPERATE
WITHOUT LOSS
Strike at Coatesville Is Only
Exception in This Sec
ton of State

Philadelphia, Sept. %. With a
single exception there was no evil
dence early to-day of a strike in
Philadelphia and other eastern
Pennsylvania cities.
The exception was at Coatesville
where approximately 400 men out
of 5000 employed by the Midvale
and Lukens Steel Companies re-
main away from work. Officials of
both plants said last night they were
operating as usual and that produc-
tion would not materially be reduc-
ed unless more workmen quit
Pickets were out at both mills, but
there was no disorder.
Normal conditions were reported
by the Midvale Steel and Ordnance
Company, the Pencoyd Iron Works
and the Baldwin Locomotive Works
in this city. Employers declared
that the proportion of organized
steel workers in the Philadelphia
plants is small and that no cessation
of work here is anticipated.
Similar reports were received from
the steel and iron plants in Read
ing, the Eastern Steel Company at
Pottsville, the Steelton plant of the
Bethlehem Steel Company and the
steel and wire mills at Allentown,
Catasauqua, Hacungie and Topton.
Officials at all these plants said they
were operating as usual and that
there were no indications of a
strike.
Employees of the Reading Iron
Company at Danville. numbering
more than 500, voted to live up to
their agreement with the company.
The agreement does not expire until
July, 1920.
Union employees of the Bethlehem
Steel Company at Allentown have
decided not to participate in the
strike, pending action on a request
for conference with officials of
the company.
Normal conditions were reported
at all the steel plants in and adja-
cent to Wilmington, Del.

Have Not Yet Received
UItimatum From Workers

New York, Sept. 23. - Ebert H.

silence in regard to the steel strike
Officers of the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation, the largest independent
in the country asserted that no ulti-
matum had been received from its
unionized employees demanding a
conference with the executives.
Nothing could be learned concern
ing the probable attitude of the
company in advance of demand
for such a meeting.
All the Bethlehem plants are run
ming to capacity.
Charles M. Schwab, president of
the company, will leave this after
noon for Chicago, to attend a dinner
of the American Institute of Mining
Engineers, but it is understood his
visit to that city has nothing to do
with the labor situation.
Private advices received here by
men connected with the steel in
dustry declared that $1,000 more
men were at work to-day in the
Pittsburgh district than yesterday.

pany, both of which operated yes
terday at decreased capacity, were
closed to-day for an indefinite period.
These plants employ approximately
10000 men, including great numbers
of foreign speaking laborers. 1t
was due to the walkout of laborers
that the plants were closed.
Immediately after the decision to
close the plants the company be-
gan paying off the men.
Owing to the closing of the plants
the crowds on the street were greatly
augmented in the two towns to-day.

pected to start operation of the bar
mill to-day, which was closed yes
terday by the strike.
Officials of the Homestead Steel
Works said that but ten per cent.
of the employees had left the plant
and that they were all foreign born.

men were continuing to leave the
plant and joining the ranks of the
strikers. Several men were arrested
for refusing to obey orders of the
State Police, at the Duquesne Steel
Works, officials stating that the plant
was running in full. Fourteen for
eigners were arrested for lettering
