much amazed Il short while ago when

United states could not have fought

ers OF The Times Dispatch. had no
knowledge that the nation is actually
dependent upon Dixie for the sulphur
Tor its explosives. it's sulphuric acids
and for all other purposes into which
sulphur enters in war times and at
other times.
Figures produced by the Record show
that - per cent of the entire sulphur
production of America comes from
mines in Louisiana and Texas. But for
these two great sulphur producers the
United states would have been abso-
!utely without any supply Of sulphur,
and thus it's ability to produce SUI :
phuric acid and explosives would have
been almost nil.
These two states produce three
fourths OF the worlds sulphur output
and tn" opening up OF an additional
sulphur property in Texas Will still
further increase our percentage of
sulphur production. France which
formerly received its entire sulphur
supply from Italy, is now largely de-
pendent upon the mines o: Louisiana
and Texas.

DELAY STRIKE
FOR CONFERENCE
Steel Workers Instruct Com
mittee to Try to Meet
Corporation
FAILURE WOULD
MEAN A WALK OUT
Vote for the Strike Is Said
to Have Been Nearly
Unanimous

Youngstown. Ohio, Aug. 2l.--0n the
success of leaders Of "a labor unions af'
fliated in the steel industry in obtaining
a conference with representatives of the
United States Steel corporation during
the next 10 days depends whether there
is TO be nation wide strike of steel
workers. Union leaders, who canyassed
the strike vote here yesterday, say 9S
per cent Of the men voting on the ques.
tion voted 10 walk out.
Instead Of calling general strike
forthwith, conference committee OF six,
headed by Samuel Gompers, president Of
the American Federation of Labor, was
instructed TO try to arrange the meeting
with the representatives. of the steel cor
poration in final attempt to adjust de.
mands made by the unions. In case Of
failure to obtain the conference, the com
mittee Is under instructions to set a
strike date forthwith
A meeting Of the conference committee
is to be held within few days to map
out a plan for approaching the represen-
tatives of the steel corporation. This
meeting, it is said, may not be held until
Mr. Gompers, who is en- route from Eu.
rope, arrives. The date and place for the
meeting were not set.
