BETHLEHEM UNIONS
DEMAND CONFERENCE
NO "INNOCENT
BYSTANDERS"

At the Department of State Po-
lice to-day it was stated that yes
terday's clash between State DO
Hcemen ard strikers at North
Clarion was the result of a call
by the Burgess of that town for
detachment of State policemen
10 dlsperse a meeting which he
had expressly prohibited and
which his own officers had been
unable to break up.
The reports received here were
that the State policemen were
resisted with bricks and stones
and that twerty revolver shots
were fired, but they succeeded in
clearing away a crowd of about
5000 men.
The State Police Departm ent
to-day called attention to the
fact that, under Pennsylva MIA
law, 1t Is unlawful IN time of
strike or other disturbances for
three or more persons to gather
in the public highways when for
bidden by local authorities. and
also that the Supreme Court of
pennsylvania had decided that
there are no innocent bystand-
ers' in time of riot and that is II
the duty of all law-abiding citi-
zens to keep about their business
or seek their homes at such time

More Election Boards
Are Called in Because
of Faulty Primary Returns

Continuing the examination of the
returned ballots from the various
election boards it was found TODAY
that in twelve more districts the
voters check list corresponded with
the number of ballots issued.
In the Second district of the Saw
enth ward. the last one to be ex,
amined this morning, the voters,
check list was missing and the cleo
tlon board was notified to appear
this afternoon before the computing
board.
In five county districts also cleo
tlon of1cers were ordered to come
before the board. These were Derry
township, First precinct; Susoue.
mamma township, North precinct;
Williams township, East precinct:
Lykens and Londonderry Townships
1t was expected that after the
opening session of quarter sessions

Ministers of this city, when in
terrogated on the subject to-day,
were unanimous in saying that the
idea of a preachers strike was, of
course, absolutely absurd, but that
the question of salary was the
gravest matter confronting the
church at present. The strike state
ment was variously characterized as
silly" beyond discussion" mot
even approaching the level of fool
ishness," and in like phrases. 1t is
understood, however, that DR.. Nc
Alpine's threat to strike was made
with smile and serves to draw at
tention to his point.
Pay Not Sufficient
The Rev. DR.. Lewis Seymour
Nudge. pastor of Pine Street Pres.
byterian Church. was very distressed
at the present situation of the aver
age minister, especially in the rural
districts. He said that there are

Officials of the company, dom
mated by Charles M. Schwab,
were so informed to-day by del

Threat of Strike
The union delegates. however, ac-
cording to an Associated Press dis

tanned in the Associated Press dis
patch. 1t was said also that they
had no first hand information as to
how conditions were developing at
the plants of the United States Steel
Company.

Loses His License When
He Forgets to Pay Fee

Carl Reith, who held a retail liquor
license for 1415 North Third street,
until this month, petitioned the
court to-day through counsel. TO
grant him another license, because
he was unavoldably absent from the
city, and did not pay his monthly fee
for September on August 80, thus
fcrfeiting the one he held for 1919.
The court took the petition under
consideration and remarked that it
was contrary to court rules to pre-
sent petition for new license, or
even a renewal of a former license,
except at the time fixed, which will
be early in 1920.

Twenty Are
Lodged in
Jail
THOUSANDS
QUIT WORK
Bulk of Men Who
Stop Are Foreign
Laborers

The preliminary skirmish in
the great industrial struggle
which opened to-day between
the labor unions and the United
States Steel Corporation, which
directly or indirectly affects
half a million wage earners, pro-
duced the usual conflicting
claims by the generals on both
sides.
Both are confident of victory.
Few Plants Closed
In the great strategic centers of
the struggle, the Chicago and Pitts
burgh districts, many thousands of
workers obeyed the strike order but
early reports stated that compare
lively few plants had been compelled
to close. At a large number of the
outlying points officials of the smaller
plants reported they were operating
as usual.
Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the
board of directors of the steel cor
poration, refused to make any com
ment on the situation.
Secretary Foster of the steel
workers union issued a statement
expressing satisfaction with the out
look and claiming that reports from
outside the Pittsburgh district
showed that the shutdown was gen.
eral.
Bethlehem Holding of
An important feature of the situ-
alton was the announcement by rep
resentatives of the $4,000 workers
employed by the Bethlehem Steel
Company that these men would not
join the strike pending an attempt
to obtain d conference with the
company officials.
Some of the blast furnaces in the
Pittsburgh district were banked but
the majority yof the plants were in
operation although admittedly with
forces reduced from Is per cent. to
&c per cent. In the Chicago district,
including Gary and Hammond,
where 10000 steel workers are en-
ployed, similar conditions were re-
ported. AT Cleveland the union
leaders claimed that / 900 men were
out and that 16 mills of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Company, en-
ploying 5000 men were closed down.
AT Ohio's second greatest steel
center, Youngstown, the strike
leaders also claimed that the great
majority of the workers had struck
and at Steubenville, where three
plants of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany are located, it was asserted that
