Farrell, Pa, Sept. 25.---Luke Gro gan, a Serbian, was shot and killed by a state trooper here shortly after II o'clock when the police searched a house under suspicion of being a snip ing post from which shots have been fired at a steel plant.
 The bsr~ ghs of Farrell and Sharon remained quiet today A full com pany of 54 state police continued to patrol the principal streets of Farrell. The local deputies said last night they heard reports that bands of men from across the Ohio state line nearby would come into Farrell and sharon to join the Pennsylvania strikers. State and local authorities have taken pre- cautions against any invasion.
 Mass meetings have been forbidden by proclamation in Farrell and Sha- ron, the local seS~etary of the Amal- gamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers is said to have announced that a meeting will be held across the Ohio line today.
 Frank Youitch of Sharon was ar- rested today charged with firing a pistol into the North Carnegie plant in Sharon. About 50 shots were fired into the plant last night and two men (Continued on Page Five.)

{: Emulate D'AnEluG1ziO;; Grave Situation Is
 Caused By Italians
; JugO-Slav Force Over POwered-Peace Con- ference Circles AmaZ- ed at Conditions Plan to Restore Mon tenegrin King.

Paris, Sept. 25-Apparently in emulation of Captain Ga briele D'Anunnzio, whose dra- matic seizure of Plume center ed the attention of the world on the eastern littoral of the Adriatic, other Italian leaders are reported to be advancing on Spalato, SebeuicO and Frau, important towns along the coast which have been under the control of Jugo-Slav forces. Peace conference cir cles are plainly concerned over the situation, which seems to have become quite grave.
 t Belgrade advices declare Italian sol ,ars have overpowered a small JugO SIav force at Toxuire and have en- cred the town. The place mentioned probably Is Trogir. the Croauan sec lion of the city of Frau, about fifteen niles northwest of Spalato. Further -outh, there appears also to be dis riders. reports from Rome indicating here is a virtual reign of terror at Raeyu sa, a Dalmatian town close to the frontier of Montenegro.
 In addition, there are rumOrs that thc Italians plan to restore King Nicholas 10 the Montengrin throne from which he was busted by action .r the national assembly last April HfF,y1 g4T es1HsaT n lls never been recognized by the royal Montengrin government which r.s maintained it's headquarters near parIs for several months. Kins Nicholas is the father of Queen He lena of Italy.
 SO far as known definitely. no an s..er to proposals made by Italy rel sttvo to Plume has been received from President Wilson although it is int- mated in unofficial Italian circles that It has arrived.
 Italians are disposed to reject any proposition looking to a compromise the claim being made that the storu throughout their country can bt ca1med only by giving Plume to Italy There are hints. too, that a govern mental crisis may develop as resul of the situation.
 General Opeppino) Garabaldi wh, arrived here yesterday, declared. Ser ious results would follow if Italian were not placed in a position to set tie the Plume question according t the win of the people" He said tn city was not closely blockaded am that the Italian government was send ing supplies into tho city.
 Rome. Sept c5.---Cgbinet ministers q not seek to conceal the utmost gravit of the situation and the serious diff culty not to say the imDossibGtty a finding a satisfactory solution to tn Plume problem. They do not want [ use force against Captain D'AnnunziC wishing to avoid fraticidal confliC and it is s7id that this hesitation ma be partly due to the fact that troop ordered against the poets force might refuse to obey orders.
 The advisabi1ity of the cabinet rt signing has been examined. but tn idea has been abandoned. since
 ministerial crisis would not help solve the problem. nor is there ma available with greater authority more energy than Premier Nitti, wh

Car Ilegiie Workers
 Return
Ora d u a fly Deserting Strike Ranks It Is
 Claimed. NO MORE FIRMS
 ARE SHUT DOWN

Pittsburgh, Sept. 25-Neith- CT side in the steel workers strike in the Pittsburgh dis trict made any claim today of great changes in the situation. The fourth day of the walkout found western Pennsylvania comparatively the same.
 Corporations announced today that the gradual return of men which set in the second day of the strike con- tnued today. The return, it was said was not large but was steady and qualification was expressed by steel company officials with the situation.
 Secretary William z Foster, of the steel workers national committee, said today he had no reports of further shut downs but was in re- ceipt of information from different parts of the Pittsburgh field that gains are being made by the strikers. Mir. Foster added that interesting de- velopments may be looked for within
 the next few days. He would not in-
 dicate what the nature of the de- velopments would be. The strike
 leaders summed up the situation by
 stating that the situation was better than ever.
 The officers of the Carnegie Steel
 Co. said more men had gone to work
 at Homestead, the Edgar Thompson
 works at BraddOcks and that the best showing was made at Clairton, where | the Carnegie concern has by-product
 coke works, open hearth furnaces and finishing mills. 1t was also given out at the Carnegie offices that pro- duCtion in some of the company's
 mills was twice that of the day before The city mills of the Carnegie com pany were reported in operation but working short handed.
 In the. district outside the imme- diate vicinity of Pittsburgh. conditions were reported by corporation sources without material change, with a ten dency toward improvement. The American Steel & Wire Go. l representatives said today that there
 was not much change in conditions at it's plants" A few more men were reported going to work every
 where, it was said. Conditions were i a little better in the Pittsburgh and ! Chicago districts, the company said, ] but the Cleveland field remained un- 1 changed.

RURAL MOTOR TRUCK EXPRESS ADVOCATED
 BY FIRESTONE FLEET

Battling their way southward from Akron, Oho-one day hub-deep in southern clay, and bowling along at a 40-mile clip the next, with wind and rain alternating with blue sky and spring sunshine-two big trucks of the FirestOne Ship by Truck fleet ar rived at Macon in time to ring up the curtain on the truck demonstration conference at Macon, Ga, April 3.
 The trucks in this fleet were the only ones that made the trip from Akron to Macon under their own power
 The purpose of the trip was to make a thorough test of long distance hauls by truck under all conditions and to boost the Ship by Truck" movement in practical way.
 It was by all odds the most convinc- ing demonstration of the feasibility of motor truck express ever staged. Other long distance truck runs-yes, but never under like conditions for long distance.
 These were regulation two-t ton trucks, one shod with giant pneumatics and the other mounted upon giant sol ids. Riding on the big solids was well enough, but on those pneumatics-be- lieve me, it was just like a Pullman, 9 said one Of the crew.
 Down in "ole Kaintuck," in the mountain country of Tennessee, and in Clear old Georgia there were many little incidents which made the trip very enjoyable for the crew. The Fire stone film division sent a director and operator along, with a movie" camera, and they were kept busy filming mat ters of special interest on the trip.
 The journey was one continuous oya- tiOn, the people all along the way wei coming them enthusiastically. Parades, banquets and receptions were held ev- nrNW here
