POLICE wound TWO
IN STEEL DISORDER
Youngstown officers Shoot Men
Accused Of Attempting to
Burn Workers. Homes
MILLS SEEK COAL SUPPLY
BY the Associated Press

Youngstown, o., Oct. 23.-One man
was fatally wounded and another scri
ously injured when police broke up two
| alleged attempts at arson by striking
steel workers early today.
Joachim Magapano will die, while
Giuseppe Fagio, who was shot above
the heart. is in critical condition.
A group of striking Serbians and
Italians held a secret meeting in Brier
Hill and decided, 1t is alleged to burn
the houses of several men who contin-
ued to work Learning of the plan.
police lay in wait for the strikers Three
Serbians had set one house afire before
they were caught, and a group of three
Italians was surprised attempting to
fire two houses. All are under arrest
on various charges, including carrying
concealed weapons and attempted arson.
Phe Brier Hill Steel Company and
the Republic Iron and Steel Company
are each preparing to light another blast
furnace today. The Brier Hill Com
pany expects also to put two more open
hearth furnaces in commission during
the day.
Chicago. Oct. 23.-(By A. P)-
Efforts of steel mill operators to OBJ .
tain a large emergency supply of coal
before the calling of the threatened
miners strike and the possibility of
additional federal soldiers being sent
to Gary, Ind. today marked the prog
ress of the steel workers strike, now
nearly seven weeks old, "While every
thing is quiet on the surface, there is
trouble in the air" said Colonel W. s.
Mapes, commander of the troops having
Gary under military control ''and more
trnpno ,t-;1t ha n,In,oI To-, o,Ia
adequately to police the large terri
tory"
The usual statements regarding grad
ual improvement in the industrial sit
uation by the employers and dRnials Of
the strike being weakened by the labor
leaders were made today 1t was ad-
mitted, however. little effect was had
on the workers by expiration of the
South Chicago mills ultimatum that
places of men still on strike will be
filled unless they had returned to work
by today.
Pittsburgh. Oct. 23.-(By A. P.)-
Increased operations in the steel mills
of the Pittsburgh district affected by the
strike were reported today by United
States Steel Corporation and indepen-
dent interests No details as to tonnage
were given out. but it was said that in
almost all the plants affected additional
men were added to the working forces.
In support of their contention that
blast furnace operation had increased
steel men pointed to the weekly report
of the Connellsville coke region where
81 .6S1 tons more coke was produced
than in the preceding week As against
this strike leaders said the increase was
due to the fear of a coal strike and
furnaces were increasing their stocks
Strike headquarters had no reports
this morning to indicate any change in
the situation. State troopers con
tinued to patrol the streets in the vi
cipity of the Edgar Thomson mills mt
Braddock. where there was rioting Tues
day. but there was no slgn Of disorder.
Very few people were in the streets
and they went quietly about their own
affairs.

Synod Speaker
CHURCH DYING OF NEGLECT

Northern Pennsylvania needs mis-
sionaries almost as much as the hcathens

George +. Donohoc, of Coudersport.
lie was speaking at today's session Of
the thirty eighth annual conference Of
the Synod of Pennsylvania meeting in
the First Presbyterian Church of Ger
mantown The conference began last
night and will end tomorrow. The pre-
siding moderator is the Rev. Stewart
NJ, Ryall, of Saltahurg
Northern Pennsylvania is the most
neglected field in the state" said Doc
for Donohoc. among especially the
native born in the mountains. There
are people in the mountains, not few
but many, who have never seen the in
Size Of church. And they need the
church. They need missionaries Bet
ter to help those native born Ameri-
cans than the foreigner within our Dor
ders. The Presbyterian Church in
northern Pennsylvania is dying because
of neglect"
The conference passed a resolution
which stated that the minimum salary
for ministers be $500 year.
The Rev DR.. John d. Reeve said
"the great need of the country is to
Americanize the alien. If we don't like
all this unrest, we must settle all of
this trouble from within.
"Therc is similar unrest affecting
the smaller churches in very serious
way. This unrest must be settled from
within. And it can best be settled by
new finer types of clergymen. For there
is great dearth of ministers, chiefly
because of the niggardly salaries they
are receiving"
Women's President Protests
Mrs. II. A Crone, president of the
womens missionary committee, said
that the men should let women do their
missionary work in their own way.
THE women have been suffering from
lot of unnecessary interference, and
they plead for no interference from the
men unless the men really have some
thing better to offer. The men have
been trying to dictate to us women. If
the men continue to try to do SO they
will upset the work of the missionary
societies, by forcing us to lose our high
pitch of enthusiasm for our work. W

the money Feast lent him belonged to
the iron works, if it did. And further
more, j. r, Rastress has Cancelled
checks proving he has paid back to
Feast all the borrowed money with in

ward of 5000.
Again Attacks Dead Man
"You see, Feast, when he came here
about four years ago, posed as n man
with an independent income, owning
large property interests in the city of
Boston, where he had been in the lumber
and iron business. In fact. j. II, Bas-
tress brought him here, in the capacity
of efficiency expert to put the iron works
on its feet.

peared to me to be very fine man, in
fact so much so that ! personally be-
came interested with him in "A local
proposition. the George f.. Feast Coal
Company, Of which | am president. Mr.
Feast was treasurer.
II am speaking of his business life
only, as l knew it.
II have thought that the money
Feast spent to live the private life he
did came from his realty interests in
once that he never could keep the pace
on his salary from the iron works, but
said he was using his private income for
the purpose. He always insisted his
method of living and his friendship with
prominent men and big spenders brought
lot of business to the iron works.
In my four years acquaintance with
him Feast, in all our business dealings,
never did anything that would lead me
to suspect that he was guilty ofcem-
beZzlement."
Audit Now in Progress
Robert Muir, president OF the Mount
Carmel Iron Works, said today that
the audit had gone far enough to make
him believe ]. Il. Bastress is implicated
in the shortages found. When pressed
for particulars he said: "Well, il he
isn't it will be easy for him to clear him
self. Feast is dead, and so we have
gone after Bastress as the next man
who might know. We must hold some =
body who knows. ] think we've got the
proof on Bastress."
Bastress will retire today MS presi p

The directors of the company will an
