INCLUDING BROADWAY THEATRES,
TO BE SOLD AT PUBLIC AUCTION
Continued from Page one.)

roundings and public life. In fact he was
a country gentleman" His life was. IN
a way romantic one He was the
grandson OF the original John Jacob Astor,
who WAS born In Waldorf, Germany. In
1863. came to this country shortly after
the Revolution and in l7S5 married Miss
Sarah Todd. cousin OF Henry Brevoort,'
one or the old Dutch families.
They had six children-M -Magdalen, who
married Count Rumpf; William Backhouse
Astor who married Margaret Aida Arm
strong a daughter of General Armstrong,
one Of the Cabinet officers Of the Madi-
son administrations Henry Astor, who
died at the age of fourteen. and Dorothy
Astor. who married Walter Langdon, and
after his death Francis Boreel.
Left Fortune TO Children.
John Jacob Astor left the bulk of his
fortune to William Backhouse Astor, who
had three sons and three daughters Two
Of these children were Henry Astor and
Emily Astor, who married Samuel Ward,
and whose daughter, Margaret Astor
Ward. married John Winthrop Chanler 1t
Is from this marriage that the eight Chan
Ter children derive their interest In the
Henry Astor estate.
Henry Astor, the youngest son. whose
estate Is to be sold. was born in 1882, and
married Maivina Dinehart in 1871. This
marriage was contrary to the wishes Of
his father. who never forgave him. Henry
Astor had no children.
Many interesting incidents have been
told Of the life OF Henry Astor, the her
nit" AS a matter of fact he lived the
life of an unassumng gentleman
farmer" He took personal care and pride
in his estate in the country and those
whom he employed. He had no desire to
either make or spend money, or even
obtain any more wealth and. as an indi-
cation of this phase of his character, the
following little incident is interesting.
Quarterly his trustees would send him
cheques on the trust company for his
income from the various properties. These
cheques were seldom deposited and would
be put away In a pigeonhole in his desk
and allowed to remain there for months
and even years. 1t was only after re-
peated requests from the trust company
that Mr.. Astor would be induced to de-
posit the cheques and draw the money.
Quandary Of Trust Company.
These accumulations at times amounted
TO between 81 900 900 and 81, 100000 and were
a source Of bother to the trust company
as they never knew at what time cheIue
might arrive TO draw this entire amount
and they never could reckon on what dis
position TO make Of the money which they
had to keep on hand. There are few men
who would allow this sum to accumulate
without reinvesting the money.
The variety of the property to be offered
at the coming auction sale is such that 1t
should interest the public at large. Up

The largest loss and the greatest effect
of the steel strike was felt in Youngstown.
where more than fifty thousand workers
were idle and all the mills were closed.
When the men voted to return the coal
strike had crippled the industry and the
mills were unable to resume. This was
also the case in the Wheeling district
Pittsburg was not hit as hard in proportion
as the other cities, as many of the mills
were not affected by the strike TO any
great extent.

same contract existed between the unions

the man who did twice much work as
another got twice as much pay This has
all been changed. he said. and now the
wage is adjusted by committee OF the
workers according to the productivity of
the individual. Since this system has gone
into effect the cost of labor has Increased
