sized by Speakers at St.
John's Cathedral

All the Armenian Protestant churches
Of the city omitted their usual Sunday
morning service yesterday so that the
congregation could attend the Arme-
nian Rescue Service at the Cathedral
of st. John the Divine. The cathedral
was thronged with resident Armenians
and civil and military representatives
Of their people, who have come here
in an effort to obtain prompt relief
from conditions which, it is said, have
already cost the lives of 100000 men,
women and children.
The Armenian Republic was repre-
sented by o. H. Kadiaznouni. chairman
of the commission which recently ar
rived in this country, and by Professor
A. Derhagopian, Armenian delegate to

the army during the war and with the
Red Cross afterward. and DR.. Robert
Ellis Jones, canon bursar of the cathe-

had made no effort at reparatlon, as
required by the Allies, not even re-
turning the Armenian women stolen
under the guns of the Entente. DR..
Jones declared that the United States
government rested under an obligation
to save the Armenian nation, which so
far it had made no earnest effort to

sufficient laborers is being met in vari.
Gus WAYS. Many negroes, Greeks and
Mexicans have been brought to this
territory since the strike began.
Significance is seen in reports show
ing the strike has stimulated Inven,
tiveness in the management of steel
plants, resulting in new methods
Whereby fewer men than formerly are
required to perform certain work.
These labor saving methods will con-
tinue to be used.
Clarion Works Reorganized
At the Clarion Steel Works, where
clashes of steel workers and state
police caused much excitement. 555
laborers walked out on September 22
in response to the strike order. These
men were an important cog in vast
machine and their absence necessitated
1900 mon. A new organization had to
be effected. For weeks the plant ran
far below capacity, but new depart
ments were added from time to time
till now the plant is running 100 per
cent, not only in the steel works, but
in the by-products plant. The expert
ence Of the Clarion works is typical
From the beginning it was evident
to steel officials and others that large
percentage Of the steel strikers were
not idle from choice. Prior to the
question that the sentiment in
favor of striking was overwhelming.
Many Of the workmen were agitators
of the I. w. w. type. Hundreds OF
others, vaguely feeling themselves VIC
tins of an unfair economic system
were easy prey for these agitators.
Still other hundreds were of the kind
that always may be depended upon to
"go with the crowd"
Collapse Due to Radicalism
Many joined enthusiastically in the
strike, not because they felt they had
any grievance, but because they ex
pected it to be successful and result in
their being better off than before. All
believed the strike would be short.
Among the reasons for the collapse
of the strike in this district the radr
ical character Of its leadership and the
failure to pay promised strike benefits
stand out prominently. The pamphlet
on syndicalism written by William z.
Foster, secretary-treasurer of the ma
tional strike committee, entered the
limelght soon after the beginning of
the strike. 1t became a subject of gen.
eral discussion, revealing for the first
time to thousands of strikers and their
sympathizers the kind of man who was
managing the gigantic walk-out With
this realization there grew among the
striking workmen a conviction they had
allowed themselves to be used as tools.
At this point there entered a power
full factor in prolonging the strike.
even after the sentiment in favor of
going back to work was clearly pre-
dominant, namely, intimidation.
Terrorism a Boomerang
Workmen were told if they returned
to their jobs they would be killed and
their houses burned. Terrorism for a
time held hundreds in line, but event
ually it resulted simply in deepening
their resentment against the forces
back of the strike.

Carnegie for Bringing
Foreigners Into Mills

Joseph E. Cannon, general organizer
for the Mine, Mill and Smelter Work
rrs of America, admitted yesterday in
an address at the Labor Lyceum. in
Brooklyn, that the steel strike is q
strike of foreigners After saying
that it often had been charged that the
walk out from the steel mills Was

"Carnegie drove the Americans out
Of the steel mills thirty years ago
when he contributed 100000 to the
Republican campaiG7 q es-
eigners were employed because they
could not understand M. I'd. aida. 50
could not be organized Now they can
speak English, and they are organized
100000 strong"
Cannon further declared foreigners
make the "best Americans.
He said the steel strike was IN full
swing. The normal production of
finished steel rails at the Gary plants
is 24O tons an hour he said, and
the present output is only 200 tons

Special Correspondence
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 23-The steel
strike which began two months ago yes
tcrday has failed. Of the 228,43O mill
workers employed in this district, Amer
ca's steel center, 162,474 either respond
ed to the strike call on September 22 or
were forced into idleness by the shut
downs. OF this latter number 1O9 ,455
are back at work. The steel companies
are operating under the handicap of
breaking in many new men, but each
passing day sees improved conditions
in this respect.
Reports indicate there would be al
most 100 per cent operation of steel
plants throughout the Pittsburgh dis
trict if the coal miners had not struck
just when the steel plants had reached
the final stage of recovery from their
own walk-out.
In Wheeling, w. Ya., the only place
in the Pittsburgh district wnere steel
mills are still completely idle, strikers
have voted to return to work, but the
large steel companies own and operate
their own coal mines, and resumption
of the mills will have to wait until
the coal strike has ended
In other regions, especially in She
mango Valley, curtailment of steel pro-
duct;on will have to be resorted to
within ten days unless the miners go
back to work
$29,634,O6 Lost in Wages
A conservative estimate places the
total payroll loss in the entire dis
trict at S29, 1894 ,064 and property losses
at Sl53, 100. The only figures obtainable
relative to the tonnage loss by the
steel companies are those given by the
strike committee, which places it at
$3.50 900 900. 1t is estimated that less
than 10 per cent of the men who struck
are idle to-day. Most of them have re-
turned to their old jobs. Others have
gone elsewhere TO work Many foreign
workmcn have returned to their native
land.
AS a result of the strike the labor
situation is more serious than it was
during the war. Workmen going to
Europe or leaving this region to find
employment elsewhere have caused a
shortage Of almost 10000 common
laborers.
Steel officials say the problem of in

When he had finished speaking the

some of the forceful language employed
by Hanson, after commencing the be
