STEEL EMPLOYEES
 TO STRIKE MONDAY
Unequiv0caI Statement is Made By Official of Action To Be Taken-Is Too Late to Post pOne.

Pittsburgh, Sept. 17.-When the national committee for organizing iron and steel workers which met to- day to consider matters in connection with the proposed strike of steel work CTS adjourned tonight until tomorrow morning, John Fitzpatrick, chairman of the committee, made the unequivo- cal statement that the walk-out would take place next Monday morning as already decided upon. He said no action was taken at today's meeting to postpone the strike, and that the decision reached at Washington last week would not be revoked. MT. Fitz- patrick said a statement would be issued tomorrow afternoon.
 The meeting discussed the question of postponing the walkout until after the industrial conference in Washing ton beginning October 6, as requested by President Wilsno. Arguments were made against postponement on the ground that the steel workers, having gone so far in their campaign for settlement of grievances by col lective bargaining, cannot now turn back Speakers said they would not care to go back and face workers with the news that the walkout had been postponed. One speaker said the union leaders would be accused by workers of having "sold them out"
 Few details of the meeting were permitted to leak out and newspaper men were excluded from the meeting. A report was circulated that Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, had been wired to come here tomorrow, but Chairman Fitzpatrick tonight said the report was not true.
 MT. Gompers, according to report, | is not unfavorable to postponement If it will not work injury to the steel workers.
 When Chairman Fitzpatrick made the positive statement that the strike wolud go into effect next Monday morning, he was asked if the strikers would picket the steel plants.
 sNo, there will be no picketing; the
 men will go fishing" he said. "We
 will leave the mill guards and profes-
 sional gunmen to run the plants"

 Paris, Sept. 17.--Latest official ad- vices report the situation at Plume as without material change. The neces- sary measures, it is stated, have been taken to prevent all communication with the city from the outside. Of the Italian sailors who landed in Plume only 100 remained in the city at last advices, the others having re- joined their ships, the official advices state. It is announced however, that Rear Admiral Casanova, who landed yesterday in an attempt to restore order, has been "illegally detained" on shore.

These reasons are along the line given the union leaders in New York several weeks ago when Chairman Gary refused to meet a committee representing the unions. The letter added that "it is the set tied determination of the United States Steel corporation and it's sub- sidiaries that the wages and working conditions of their employees shall compare favorably with the highest standards of propriety and justice"

RAIN FINDERS
 WORK OF RESCUE
List of Dead in Corpus Christi Storm Now Towering Around 300 Mark-Sufferings Are In- creasing.

Corpus Christi, Texas, Sept. IT, Darkness fell on the storm stricken city of Corpus Christi and environs tonight with the list of dead from Sundays hurricane lowering around the 300 mark and with heavy rain, which fell almost continuously throughout the day, hampering the work of clearing the debris and in- |creasing the sufferings of thousands of homeless. All attempts at identi- flying the bodies had been abandoned because of their decomposed condi- tion, and burial parties sent out along the shores of Nueces Bay were hurry ling the corpses to nearby towns for interment.
 The bay front is lit up tonight by a score or more huge bonfires which cast sickly light over the wrecked portion of Corpus Christi, adding strange palor to the scene of desola- ton left by wind and wave. Into these iilSo diS pSiuS Sdot thS SclI ISdoSSS ol cattle drowned when the tidal wave swept over Mustang Island, which lies across the mouth of Corpus Christi bay.
 Heavy rainfall to the east of Cor pus Christi was threatening to stop relief trains hurrying here over the San Antonio and Aransas Pass rail- way. Last reports said the Nueces river was rising rapidly and that a railway bridge between Robstown and Odom was in danger of being carried away.
 The food situation, serious from the outset, took more acute turn
 today with the arrival of several
 hundred refugees from the surround
 ing country. Most of these were cot
 ton pickers who had been left desti-
 ute as the result of the destruction of all cotton fields in this section. The fear was freely expressed tonight
 that when the limited food stocks in surrounding towns is exhausted, more than 30,000 persons would become en-
 tirely dependent upon relief supplies
 now being brought here unless the
 railroad situation improves. All visitors and sightseers were warned to remain away from Corpus Christi, on pain of being met at the train with shovel and put to work
 clearing away debris, by Mayor Cor
 don Boone and Roy Miller, chairmen
 of the citizens relief committee, in a
 joint statement tonight. There is sufficient labor here for all needs, the
 statement says, and in view of the
 acute food situation, every additional mouth to feed adds an unnecessary drain on the city's meager resources. 2 I01d nanQrs for sale at this office
