Kept increasing their production until
1t was said to have reached 80 per cent
OF the normal, and many other plants
in that district, including South Chi
caao, reported that their workers were
returning. The Indiana Steel com
lany at Gary, for instance, was oper-
aiing on Thursday with about 5000
men, or half the usual force. and the
Mark Manufacturing company, employ
Ing between 5000 and 5000 men, was
preparing to reopen its plant with
large force. The strikers still out In
That area were growing restless as they
saw their fellow workers returning by
the thousands, and feared they would
lose their places permanently.
In the Pittsburgh region there was
rot much change In the situation. At
the opening Of the week the strike
against the Bethlehem company. the
largest independent steel concern in
the country, began, but 1t was far from
successful. A few of the company's
departments In its various plants were
closed, but most of them were oper-
ating as usual, though with somewhat
reduced forces. The Pennsylvania
state police had the situation we'll in
hand and violence was quickly sup
pressed.

The president was comforted by the
assurance Of his supporters In the sem

he must have smiled when he heard
of the doings at Ardmore. Okla. though
of course he could not approve of them.

Judge Gary, appearing before the
senate committee on labor, made 1t
clear that there is no hope of arbitra-
ton or other amicable settlement OF
the strike, for the United States Steel
corporation intends to fight the unions
to a finish. He said the issue is the
open Shop against the closed shop, in
volving the RIGHT of employers TO hire
whom they please; that the closed
shop Is immoral, meaning decreased
production, higher prices and national
decay; that the Steel corporation viii
never recognize the unions or c0ntract
with them, and that it will never deal
with union leaders as such. He de
clared the corporation does not object
to Its employees organizing, and is will
ing at all times to grant them hearings
concerning grievances. He told of the
cages paid the employees and what
the corporation has done In the way
of housing them. The average wages,
excluding administration and selling
forces, have advanced from $2.S8 on
July ! 1914. to 1927 on July 1, 1919.
Judge Gary was followed on the
stand by William q. Foster. who is
considered by many as the real leader
Of the strike.

According to the prOhibltlCn1sts
several days ago some person played
a joke on the Federal officers at
Roanoke, tipping them off that a GER
tain coffin coming to that city might
contain liquors. The officers OBJ
tanned a warrant, according to the
current story, and when the coffin
reached that city it was opened.
Only the remains of a departed citi-
zen were found That is one of the
cases that has come to the surface
| in the last week, the belief being that
the liquor men and the bootleggers
desired to humiliate the officers.
Innumerable cases of women coming
to this city with water-bags strapped
to their bodies and concealed under
their clothing have been reported, the
women being indignant when arrested.
AS matter of fact, there are agents
of the prohibition department at
several places where liquor is sold
who are tipping the officers here.
! The prices obtained for liquor fur
nish the motive for the violations,
but the losses OF the bootleggers In
the last few weeks have consumed
their profits many times.

NICK ALTROCK
SCOUTING AGAIN
Nationals Coach Looking
For Youngsters in the
Virginia League.

Uncle Nick Altrock is digging
through the bushes today hunting
for talent that might help bolster
up Griff's down-trodden club. The
Old Fox is desperate in his effort to
place a winning club on the field and
frankly states that he is not sat
isfied with his present battle array.
Both Grinf and Altrock have been
tipped of to some promising young
sters now pastiming in the Virginia
and South Atlantic leagues. Altrock
will give the bushes a thorough
search before joining the club when
they return here after a four-game
series in Boston and Philadelphia.
Among the youngsters who are
being highly touted by Virginia
league magnates is "Bub" Daughton,
the Washington sandlotter. who last
season led the circuit with the
bat, hitting for .S63 mark. Daugh-
ton is at present with the Newport
News club and is going like house
on fire.
