UNION MEETINGS IN
 CHICAGO STEEL DISTRICT

Chicago, Sept 21-while union meetings were in progress today all over the Chicago steel district. with leaders making final appeals to the men to obey the strike call tomorrow morning, and thereafter stay away from the steel mills. John Fitzpatrick, national chairman of the committee for organizing steel workers issued a statement asserting that E. H. Gary, head of the United States Steel Cor poration had refused to listen to President Wilson, who advised a con- ference with union chiefs.
 The whole thing sinners down to the question: Is E. H. Gary bigger than the chief executive of this coun- try" said MT. Fitzpatrick.
 The national chairman said no one would strike tomorrow. Estimates from various sources have predicted that between 50,o00 and 9o.oo0 men in the Chicago district. which includes the triangular area extending from Milwaukee on the north. to Joliet, Ills, at the southwest and Gary. Ind, to the east, would strike. Steel officials have made public no estimates other than to say that. canvasses in some plants have indicated that nearly eighty five per cent. of the men had expressed themselves in favor of re- maining at work.
 At most of the fortyfve or more large plants-those of the steel cor pendent companies-there were no plans tonight for shutting down, so far as could be learned. Officials ap- parently were counting on enough men disobeying the strike order to operate the mills.
 At Gary twenty-seven different na- tionalities are represented on the pay rolls Of millions annually. and there chief precautions were being taken to avert trouble. Fifty policemen were assigned to take up sentinel duty at dayureak on the lane that leads from the gates of the mills to the business section of the city.
 Nearly six thousand men attended a union mass meeting here today.

DESPERATE BATTLE
ON FOR PETROGRAD

aa London, October l8-General-
Yudenitch has captured Gatchina,
south of Petrograd, according to
a Helsingfors dispatch. The
Souyiet forces are desperately
defending Petrograd itself, ac-
cordfng to other advices. Over
the whole situation around Pet
rograd, however, there is con
siderable obscurity owing to
conflicting reports but there
seems little doubt that Yuden-
itch's army has advanced within
a short distance of the city.
Another report, but unconfrmed
asserts that the Bolshevik fortress Of
Kronstadt evidently the key tt
Petrograd, fell Friday night. Ap
parently, however the advance of ths
Russian armies on the Bolsheyil
stronghold is held up by the guns oi
the fortress and the Russian fee
operating under it's protection.

conditions made better in every
way. Mr.. Boggs pointed out
