September %
AFFECTS 100000 FAMILIES
Strikers Claim Seven Union Members
and Organizers Had Been Kill
ed by Hired Thugs

Washington, Sept. 10-The steel
workers will go on strike against the
United States Steel Corporation on
Sept. 20. This decision was taken
twenty-four Presidents of steel work
ers unions. Nothing. the union lead
ers asserted, could now prevent the
strike short OF compromise Jy the
corporation.
Union men stated that more than
100000 steel workers would be called
out, and that eventually thousands
more would be affected IL the strike
progressed. The men called out are
the workers engaged in actual steel
production. and also men engaged in
mining ore and transporting it to the
plants of the steel corporation. How
ever, 1t was said that unions such as
those of the structural iron workers,
who erect large office buildings,
would be affected later on by the
lack of materials and would probably
strike in sympathy any how
The situation is looked upon in
Washington as exceedingly grave.
Since Aug 30 the officials of the steel
unions have been empowered to call
strike, as result OF a vote which
was overwhelmingly in favor of such
action. The union leaders say they
have restrained their men, up to the
breaking point. while negotiations
were going on with Judge Gary and
pending the hope that President Will
son might be able to effect some sort

outbreaks of a serious nature unless

were given. These, their statement
declares, were not Forthcoming.
Since Government officials hoped to.
might that something might be done
which would prevent tieing up the
great steel mills. But in view of the
assertion by the union leaders that a
telegram had been received from the
President and despite that message
the strike had been announced, these
officials were non too sanguine
IL is believed. especially in view of
Judge Gary's attitude. that the Steel
Corporation will stand as firmly as
the union men and probably fight the
strike by allowing the steel mills to
remain idle long period.

FISH ON EXHIBITION DIE
14o0 Of Varied and Rare Specimens
Expire at State Fair.

White River Junction, Sept. TO-
Nearly 400 fish of varied and rare
specimens from the waters of Yer
mont, died yesterday afternoon in the
tanks of the fish exhibit conducted in
connection with the Vermont State
fair.
The cause of the sudden expiring
of the fish was due to the face that
the water from new reservoir con-
structed on the fair grounds was
turned on in place OF the regular sup
ply
The only surviving member of the
finny tribe in the exhibit is an eel. A
few fish were transported to the
hatchery at RoXbury when 1t was
seen they would die and upon being
placed in fresh water, it was noticed
that they were all blind The exhibit
contained many rare specimens of
Vermont fish.

Rutland Herald Distributes Papers on
Route to State Fair.

The first attempt to distribute news
papers by air route was carried out
by machine that left the city OF
Rutland at 1859 yesterday and which
arrived at White River Junction at
Las. Three previous attempts to ac-
complish the feat were given up be-
cause of the dense fog.
Bundles of Rutland Heralds were
dropped at Sherburne, Bridgewater,
Woodstock and at other hamlets on
the way.
In order to secure sufficient altitude
to clear Mendon mountain it was
necessary to circle about the city of
Rutland for ten minutes. Much of the
distance was made through clouds
which were not dense enough, how.
ever, to obscure the way.
The trip was made in AZ minutes
and an altitude of 2800 feet was

accompanied by Edmund P. Howe of
