Strike Will Remain
in Force Until Owners
Sign Up, Is Warning

Chicago, Sept. 20. - Final prep
arations in the Chicago district for
handling the strike of steel workers
called for Monday had been made
o-day and rs union organizers were
on their way to different cities to aid
local union officials. The organizers
were under instructions to notify in
dependent steel mill owners the
strike would remain in force against
them until they "signed up" but that
the national strike committee would
arrange any conference they might
request.
From Gary, Ind, in the Chicago
district, where is located one of the
country's greatest plants, came re-
ports that both sides were drawing
lines for a finish fight.
Employers claimed 81 per cent.
of the workmen did not favor a
strike, and union leaders asserted 80
per cent. of the employees would go
out.
At Gary there are approximately
19,6O0 employees and in the South
Chicago mills, $3.50. At other mill
sites in the Chicago district approx
mately the following numbers of
men are employed: Indiana Harbor,
Ind, 14,100; East Chicago, Ind,
4, 1000; Joliet, Ills, 1880; Hammond,
Ind, 8,400; Milwaukee. 5000; Wau-

Those plants which will remain
working will continue to do so, the
reports aver, only so long as opera
tions are not interfered with.
Should the mills close, 1t is un-
officially estimated that by Monday
morning 700 men will be idle.
The Allegheny and West Penn
Steel Mills at Breckenridge suspend
ed operations at s o'clock this
morning in order to give the mill
men an opportunity to hold a
meeting and consider the advisable
ity of walking out Monday, accord
ing to Harry E. Sheldon, president
of the Allegheny Steel Company,
and Julian Burdick, vice. president
of the West Penn Steel Company.
These mills employ normally 5000
to 5000 men.
The Pittsburgh Steel Company, at
Monessen, was closed yesterday aft
er 500 men, mostly foreigners,
walked out because, according to
men employed there. a foreigner
was given the choice of winding
eight spools of barbed wire as other
men were doing or quitting. Upon
his choosing the latter course, it is
said, the 500 employees followed suit.
According to a superintendent of
the plant, h however, the mill closed
owing to lack of orders.

vessel. The wreck was seen by the
subchaser and the coast guard ves-
sci Tuscarosa, near Rebecca shoals
lighthouse, about forty miles from
Key West. 1t lay in water which
covers a bed of quicksand. No

Missing Since Storm
The Valbenera has been missing
since the storm which caught her
as she neared Havana enroute from
Spanish ports to New Orleans. The
passengers are thought to have
been almost entirely Spaniards or
Cubans, as virtually all of them
were to have debarked at Havana.
Mrs. Pauline Beckner, of France,
sister of Mrs. George Pollock, OF
New Orleans, was thought to have
been abroad. The vessel carried a
valuable cargo.
A wrecking crew was to leave
here to-day and the naval station
here has promised all facilities to
aid them. Their Investigations may
establish the presence of bodies of
passengers and crew or show they
had left the ship before she sank.
There have been no reports here,
however, of any such number of
persons adrift or having been land
ed, and 1t was not regarded as prob
able that any could have been saved
by other vessels without word hav-
ing come of that facc.

the memorial fund in the name of
every veteran of the Harrisburg
proval of the public, it was an
nounced at the Chamber offices. No
one man will be honored to a
greater extent than any other in the
memorial project, and the men and
their families will not be requested
to subscribe to the fund. The pub
lie, it was pointed out, will sub
scribe all the money in individual
remembrance of every soldier.
The statement made by Governor
Sproul this morning, endorsing the
project, follows:
MFR. Sproul Approves
II am pleased to note that the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
has taken the initiative in action
looking toward the erection of a
permanent memorial in honor of
the soldiers. sailors and marines OF
the Harrisburg district. Our duty
toward the veterans of the late war
will not be finished until we have
thus signally honored them for their
sacrifice and achievements.
1.-The form of the proposed me-
IflOrlal as ueSCTlDeu Dy tne CnaIlDer
of Commerce meets with my ap-
proval, for it seems to embody a
great many of the best suggestions
I have heard on the subject of q
soldiers memorial. Its happy COM
bination of utilitarian and orna-
mental features cannot fail to COM
mend it to anyone who has given
the project his serious consdera-
ton.
THE proposal to have the city's
memorial fit into the general Capitol
Park and memorial bridge plans, as
a pleasing elimination of the
whole, is one of the desirable fea-
lures of the Chambers project.
Through the collaboration of the
Chambers committee with Arnold
w. Drummer. who designed the
Capitol Park extension, the plans
for the city's memorial will harmon
ize nicely with the States plans,
thereby completing in one compre-
hensive treatment. an appropriate
memorial to the heroes of the Com
monwealth and the capital city,"

COUNTRYWIDE
SAFETY CAMPAIGN
Starts October 1S, to Run
Fourteen Days; All Rail- \
roads Interested

The first countrywide safety
campaign, under the auspices of
the United States Railroad Admin
istration, will take place October 1s
to 81 on eastern and western lines.
Director General Walker d. Hines
has announced that A. F. Duffy,
| manager of safety section of the
railroad administration, will have
direct supervision of the whole cam
paign, which will be known as the
National Railroad Accident Preven-
tion Drive.
At one minute after midnight on
the morning of October 1S the drive
will formally open and until mid
night of the last day of the month
every one of the 100000 employees
of the country's railroads will be
alert to prevent any accident to one
of their number and to see to 1t
that no worker is killed.
Railroads Interested
Recently there was completed a
campaign known as "No-Accident"
and during the three months it was
in progress the number of deaths
and accidents was materially cut.
This and other somewhat similar
campaigns on scattered railroads
prompted the Federal officials in
Washington to arrange for every
road to conduct an intensive drive
for two-week period. The advan-
tage of this simultaneous effort will
be that railroad men, especially
those in the operating, maintenance
and mechanical departments, will
think, talk and act safety whenever
they meet. At the same time the
travelling public and the families of
the workers will join in the move
ment and give their moral support
That there will be keen rivalry,
especially among the larger railroad
systems, is a certainty. Each will
strive to obtain n perfect score and
the final figures will show how each
road is observing the safety regula-
tions. No specific prize has been
hung up for the winner, but the
honor of standing at the top of the
list will be sufficient incentive for
any railroad man who has the inter-
est of his own line at heart.

particular interest, there will be
trouble and delay in the settlement.
If men can learn to be patient un-
der conditions which have resulted
from the World War, until a more
accurate estimate of the possibilities
of the situation can be made, all our
problems will be sooner solved; but
If impatience and selfishness shall
rule and mediate forceful or di-
rect action be taken, it is perfectly
obvious that nothing but disorder
and delay can result.
Crying Need For Peace
THE crying need of the world just
now is for peace, and not political
peace between governments alone,
but industrial peace amongst men
also. The things for which men
fight are never settled while the war
is on. An armistice must come;
heads must cool, and anger must
spend itself before men can sit to-
gether and know what is best for
themselves and give due considera-
ton to the rights of others.
"If we could have an absolute in
dustrial armistice in America for
six months; If both the necessary
ingredients of capital, that is both
money and labor, would be active
and constant in the problems of
production; the busy, peaceful days
would soon yield a spirit which
would make it possible for men to
solve the problems which now con-
front us. Labor is asking a larger
share of the joint product of money
and labor, and there is much merit
in the claims, but the chance of
getting it is not advanced nor the
Justice of it more widely recognized
by the refusal of labor to produce.
Idleness No Panacea
"1dleness is no panacea for the
ills from which the country suffers.
Work may be. The cost of life is
/ only enhanced by the idleness of
men; it can be reduced by the in
| telligent industry of all. These rem
edies may bring us part way on the
| road, but they will never bring us
the whole distance. These remedies
should and will be applied, but
the most effective cure that can be
desired will be the general accept
| ance by all our people of the golden
| opportunities of this great land of
plenty for all who give the best that
! is in them"

Coal Crisis Threatens

Vienna, Friday, Sept. 10. - The
Interallied Coal Commission is try

Czecho- -Slovaks to deliver coal for

During the first ten days of Septem-

agreed upon for the electric plants
of the city was delivered. and only
about one-fourth the coal necessary
for domestic uses had reached here.
The city, unable to accumulate a
reserve, found itself facing a critical
situation yesterday. A notice was
issued stating that beginning Sunday.
all tramways would cease running,
all cafes, restaurants and houses
would be closed at eight o'clock in
