the Washington Railway Company is

William NICK Clayton, although he
has not made a public statement be-
fore the commission to this effect,
said today that such a decision would
be considered a discriminatory order,
because one company operating the

greater return for that service than
the second company.
Mr. Poole also stated that he be-

closing of TIE Trumbull Steel Com

Company of Gnard. The skilled men
of those companies belong to the ANAL
gamated Association of Sheet Steel

to adjust differences with the unskilled
and semi-skilled men, just what the
result of those efforts were is not

Five strikers were arrested last
night at the plant of the Sharon Steel
Hoop Company. According to police
two of the men had rocks tied in hand
