WHOSE CLOTHING IS
ABLAzE;; FA|NTS
Willing to Pay for Oil She
Snatched From Store to
Dress His Burns.

Miss Edith Wilson, stenographer
A. l.. Todd Electrical Company at No.
17s Lafayette Street, heard a scream
for help at 10 80 o'clock this morning
from the shop bnck of the office,
where Irving Jaffe of No. S71 Fox
Street was at work soldering a fixture
with gasoline torch.
Miss Wilson ran back and found
Jaffe stumbling about with his arms
across his face and his shirt and
trousers ablaze with streamers of
Gasoline flame. The torch, which
mad exploded, was abla2e on the
floor.
The girl caught up n bundle of
towels which lay on the bench, or
dercd the tortured workman to lie on
the floor, and beat out the flames,
beginning at his neck and working
down TO his feet. Then she threw the
towels over the torch and beating on
it with a broom, smothcrcd the fire
on the floor.
Next door at No. l76 Lafayette
street is an Italian grocery. Miss
Wilson appeared there moment later,
-natched two cans of olive oil from
a shelf and was out again The
angry proprietress, following her back
10 the shop, found her pouring the
oil over Jaffc, who was burned all
over the body. Miss Wilson eX-
planned that she would pay for the
oil when she had time and sent the
Woman out after policeman.
Policeman James Murphy of tho
oak street Station arrived moment
later and called an ambulance from
81 Vincent's Hospital. As soon as
Miss Wilson saw the electrician lifted
INTO the ambulance she fell in a dead
faint in the office doorway. When
she recovered she was told 10 go tc
her home at No. 81 Garden street

In 1918 the average number of en-
ployees on the Steel Corporations
payroll was 26s,71O and the total
pay roll was $i52, ,524.
Last yeAr, which marked the worst
depression in the history of the steel
trade in this country. the average
number of employees was 191, 700
and the pay roll totalled 1892, ,Ss7, 500.
The announcement was totally un-
expected and is considered in finan-
cial circles as likely to have far
reaching influence.
Added significance is given to tho
action of the United States Steel
Corporation not only because of the
extent of the wage increase but be-
cause of the fact that it comes at
time when wage negotiations in tho
anthracite and bituminous coal fields
and in the railroad world are at q
critical stage,
In certain financial quarters, the
belief is expressed that railroad
managers, when they next meet with
the brotherhood chiefs to negotiate
settlement Of the shopmen's strike,
will find the labor leaders have be-
come more determined in their en-
deavors to have the strikers seniority
rights restored; that they have been
given added confidence in what theJ
bclicV to h tn JUSTICE of their cause.
In fact there were predictions made
that labor unrest viii become more
pronounced
ON the other hand, the view pre-
vailed among other leaders of finan-
cial opinion that the action of the
United States steel Corporation would
undermine the strength Of labor
unions. II was pointed out that
manufacturing plants Of the Corpora
tion are operated on IN "open shop
basis, and that men in these plants
Will now receive a substantially
higher ratio Of wages than those en-
gagged in closed shops of other steel
concerns.
There is another phase Of the mat
ter that Is being widely discussed in
financial quarters. The United States
steel Corporation, which was formed
10y j. T.. Morgan y Co, is still re
cardcd uS a Morgan company. Not
only does tho Morgan firm act as its
bankers, but through a liberal repre-
scntatiou on the Executive Committee
and the Board Of Directors plays an
important part in shaping its policies.
At the same time, J. +. Morgan
&. Co. act as bankers for some of the
moro important roads that are now
negotiating "a strike settlement with
shopmcn. Their influence in the at
fairs of these roads is important. As
"a fact, when conferences between
brotherhood chiefs and the committees
OF eight railroad executives were
being held at No 81 broadway on
Thursday and Friday of last week
the hanNng firm was kept fully posted
ny telephone regarding the course Of
proceedings.
4 paramount question in Wall
street this afternoon was the atti-
Ltudc of j. l.. Morgan 4 co, regard
ing the rail strike settlement, and
particularly toward the "die hard
rail executives, in view OF its at least
tacu approval of the steel Corpora
ton IS wage increase AT NllS Nlil'.
There Is still another pulling phase
To- WAN street ot the steel corpora
lions action In the last calendar
year tho corporation failed to earn
its dividend on the common stock by
more than $4,000, 600. And in the
first quarter of this year, net earnings
were approximately only so per cent.
as large as in the first quarter OF

Dazzy Vance Blows i'm the
Final Fran e and Is
Found for Three Tallies
BY Joseph Val

Dazzy Vance, the Robins speed ball
pitcher, had victory eight-ninths of
the way to the record book at Ebbets
Field yesterday when he collapsed most
Unexpectedly in the ninth. The Cubs.
after eight lean innings, managed to
push three runs over IN the last session
and walked OFF with the victory and the
series. The score was 4 to ..
Vance's blow-uD was most sudden and
uncalled for. He had limited the Cubs
to seven hits and one run in the first
eight innings. He had famed seven
batsmen and only one inning stood be-
tween him and his nineteenth victory of
the season. But this inning proved to
be too much
Mack Miller opened with a single and
Maisci ran for him. Adams, rookie
second baseman. sent puny tap to the
box, but Vance lost the ball and il went
for a hit. O'Farrell bunted along the
third base line and again Vance's slug
gishness enabled the runners to dash
around in safety. Barber batting for
Stueland, forced Maisel at the plate,
but Statz singled to right. scoring Ad-
ans and O'FarreIl. After IIollocher had
walked, Terry raised sacrifice fly
which scored Barber with the third and
winning run.
With the score to , against them,
the Robins made feeble rally in their
half of the ninth. Schmandt sirgied to
short, but Fl gh flied out DeBerry ads o
singled. putting Schmandt on second.
Bert Griffith. batting for Vance, forced
DeBerry, but in trying for double
killing on the play. Adams threw wild
and Schmandt tailed. Olson ended the
game with fly to Fitzgerald.
The first two Brooklyn runs came at
the expense Of Tony Kaufman. who
lasted six innings. Stueland pitched the
seventh and eighth, and Cheeves fin
ished the game.
Olson started Brooklyns two-run
rally in the fifth by drawing pass.
Johnston. Tom Griffith and Wheat fol-
lowed with singles. Olson and John
ston crossing the plate.
The Cubs did not score until the
seventh Hack Miller opened with a
ar-fung triple and cantered home on
Adams's single to center.
The defeat Of the Robins was not the
saddest incident that Brooklyn fans had
to stomach. For yesterday marked the
passing of the popular Sherry Smith
