President Is Resting
Comfortably as Train
Speeds to Washington
Bp Astociatcd Eresl.

On Board President Wilson'S Spe-
cial Train, Sept. 27.-Tis speaking
tour for the Peace Treaty interrupt
ed by illness and exhaustion, Presi-
dent Wilson was well along on his
journey back to- Washington to-
day, to take complete rest on the
order of his physician.
His special train, shunted off from
its original schedule yesterday noon
at Wichita, Kansas, was routed di-
rect for the capital and had the
right of way for a continuous run
1t crossed the Mississippi at ST.
Louis early in the day and was to
be we'll across Ohio by night fall.
1t is due at Washington tomorrow
morning.
Under the constant care of Dr.
Gary I. Grayson, his physician, the
President was described as resting
comfortably DR.. Grayson spent the
night in the private car Mayflower
so as to be near his patient. and to-
day he kept in close touch with the
Presidents condition. He said there
was nothing alarming in the situa-
tion but that he would Insist upon
Mr.. Wilson's taking an absolute rest
for considerable time.
Mrs. Wilson, although herself
showing the strain of the long trip
across the continent and back, also
was in constant attendance upon
the President.
The Presidents illness, although
brought to a head by his exertion on
his speaking tour, is ascribed by
DR.. Grayson largely to the attack
of influenza from which Mr.. wilson
suffered last April in Paris. On that
occasion he was confined to bed for
several days, but he continued ahis
with the other men,
bers of the "big four" consulting
with them at his bedside about criti- |
cal problems of the peace negotfa-
tions. S
Although Secretary Tumulty an
nounced that all of the Presidents
in the near future had
been Cancelled, it became known
that Mr.. Wilson still believed he
might be able to go to New York
next Friday to welcome King AL
bert of Belgium.

ENDS
FIRST WEEK OF
STEEL STRIKE
Plant Officials Confident That
Next Week Will See End
of Trouble

The first week of the great steel
strike ended to-day with the situa-
tion a virtual deadlock, while both
sides waited with keen anticipation
for Monday, when crucial test will
be afforded of the claims of the
opponents respective strength. Steel
company officials professed the full
est confidence that the opening of
another working week would see
such defections in the ranks of the
strikers that the back of the union s
resistance would be broken. Lead
ers of the strikers were equally op-
timistic in their predictions that the
ranks of their followers would not
be seriously preached.
In the meantime the strike gen.
erals were overlooking no effort to
strengthen their position in antici-
patton of the coming test. Mass
meetings were held to-day and will
be continued tomorrow throughout
the Pittsburgh district. the strategic
center of the battlefield, and union
organizers strove increasingly to gain
new recruits and fortify the resolu-
ton of their existing forces.
The strikers were encouraged by

All Quiet in Strike
in Local Plant of
Pipe Bending Firm

Three departments of the Harrisburg
Pipe and Pipe Bending Company have
been forced to close as a result of the
strike of wcrkmen, called on Thursday.
These departments are the steel plant
and the blooming and rolling mills.
Not more than 201 of the 7s4 en-
ployes of the plant have gone out on
strike, according to officials of the COM
pany. Some non-union men, however,
have been affected by the closing of the
three departments, the officials admit.
Just how long other departments of
the plant will continue in operation, Of
ficials were unable to say to-day. II
is understood, however, that the plant
will continue running until the present
supply Of steel is finished. This, it is
believed, will be but matter of few
days.
The strike leaders are of the opinion
that greater number of men are out
than the figures above reported.

All Phases of Marketing Con-
ditions to Be Ascertained
Through Cooperation of
Consumers; Unnecessary
Waste or Expense to Be
Eliminated

First steps in the movement of
the new State Bureau of Markets to
find out the facts in the marketing
conditions, the facilities and the sup
plies in Pennsylvania cities from the
standpoint of the housewife will be
taken in Harrisburg next week. 1t
is the plan to extend the inquiry to
other cities as rapidly as possible.
Each housewife will be sent
which asks as to the
proximity of markets, why market
is patronized instead of retail stores,
what percentage of fruits and vege-
tables used from May to November
are bought at markets, how the
prices have been running, whether
delivery costs much, how much of
the family food is ordered from
stores, over the telephone. carried
home or delivered, whether hucksters
come to the doors and whether any
effort is made the night before going
TO market to ascertain the current
prices.
Guy c. Smith, the director of the
bureau of markets, who has plan
ned this survey of the cities of the
State, has asked that the public CO.
operate to bring out all phases of
the subject SO that there will be
something at hand upon which to
base conclusions. During the last
few weeks" says he, "a great many
statements have been made regard
ing the high cost of living. Farmers
and distributors have been blamed
as profiteers. The fact is that many
of the statements have been made
without a knowledge of the facts re-
garding the distribution of produce
and our sole purpose in making this
survey is to bring those facts before
the public. If there is unnecessary
waste or expense in this field we
should all cooperate to improve the
situation, but 1t will do no good for
any one to rub it in especially when
their statements may be based on in
complete or inaccurate informa-
ton

Rumor of Imminent
Civil War Is Causing
Great Alarm in Rome
BY Associated F,ess.

l. Rome, Thursday, Sept. 25. -
Alarmist reports are current in this
city, one of them being that civil
war is imminent. On one side would
be ranged the Nationalist and Mill
tarist factions, which would be op-
posed by the Socialists. Several
generals are credited with the in
tention of heading the Militarist fac
ton, with a view of controlling the
government, it being said that they
believe the weakness of those in
power since the armistice caused
the present deadlock. Some of these
generals have already been mention
ed as being in league with Captain
Gabrielle D'Annunzio before the
Ffume raid, with the object of over
throwing by force the Nitti cabinet
and replaced with a military die
tationship.
The navy is represented as being
even more dissatisfied than the army,
having, according to naval officers
statements, suffered more from tile
lack of consideration of their Anglo
French colleagues, who have acted
as If they were masters of the Adri-
attic and have favored Jugo- -SIav
claims" Y
Workmen numbering approximate
ly 100000 are on strike and dis
satisfaction is growing everywhere
at the constantly increasing cost of
living. 1t is impossible for the gov
ernment to call any man to the
colors, especially after having recent
ly pardoned all deserters under the
proclamation of amesty Strenuous
efforts are being made by official
Socialists to reach an understanding
between the workmen and soldiers.
They are urging the latter to refuse
to obey their officers or the gov
ernment, and they thus hope to or
ganize in Italy workmen's and SOL
diers' committees, which would lead
to the formation of Soviets and an
upheaval of the whole social order.

F.. CO.'S PLANTS
Order Issued Today Is to Be-
come Effective Monday
Morning, 6 O'clock
STEELTON IS INCLUDED
General Manager Says Opera
lions Will Continue, With
Work For All
z. dssociated Pres.

Pittsburgh, Sept. 81. - The Ma
tional Committee for organizing iron
and steel workers at a meeting
here to-day ordered a general strike
in the plants of the Bethlehem Steel
Company to become effective next
Monday morning at o'clock.
Secretary William z. Foster, of
the committee, in announcing the
strike, said that between 10000 and
$4,000 men were expected to be af-
fected. He asserted the Bethlehem
plants were among the best organ
lied in the country.
Consider Reply
The committee with John Fitz-
patrick, chairman, present, met in
special session to consider the reply
of L. G. Grace, president of the
Bethlehem Steel Company. to the
unions demand for a conference.
Mr.. Grace in his reply said that he
would not grant a conference to the
union and that he would not aban-
don the present system of collective
bargaining with employees, which
was adopted by the company during
the war.
According to Mr.. Foster the Beth
lchem workers had sent n commu-
nication to the meeting here declar-
ing that they were solidly behind
the union and ready to walk out.
He said that the committee was
practically unanimous on issuing the
strike order.
Ship Plants Not Affected
The shipbuilding plants of the
Bethlehem interests will not be af-
fected Mr.. Foster said, as they are
working under union agreement.
The plants affected by the strike
order are Steelton, Reading, Leba-
non, Titusville, South Bethlehem, in
Pennsylvaniasssand Sparrows< Point,
Md.
The strike order was Immediately
telegraphed to the Bethlehem Steel
workers representatives. Plans were
also made to rush organizers into
the new strike zone to aid in handl-
ing the situation.
In calling the Bethlehem strike
the committee adjourned to meet
again late to-day, when the matter
of a conference with the heads of
the railroad brotherhoods will be
taken up. Otner important mat
ters pertaining to the strike will
also receive the committees atten-
ton, Mr.. Foster said.
"Work For AL" Robbins
When Frank A. Robbins, Jr., gem
eral manager of the Steelton plants
of the Bethlehem Steel Company
was notified that the strike order
had been issued he said he had re-
ceived information of it before the
order actually had been issued.
ut is impossible at this time to
say just what will happen at Steel
ton" said Mr.. Robbins, but we shall
continue to operate all departments
and there will be work for all who
do not desire to quit"
There has been considerable dis
Cussion of strike possibilities at
Steelton and a number of meetings
but no demonstrations. Both union
men and officials of the company
have been busy making preparations
during the week for actual even
tualities and the order finds each
prepared for coming events. The
mills were in full operation to-day
and there was no sign of any dis
turbance anywhere.
