L. Lewis movement was making ready
to strike at other Bethlehem Steel
plants besides the big one here. Beth
lehem, second in size in the industry
only to United States Steel, has work
for 10000 persons.
Union leaders held secret confer
ences in Pittsburgh yesterday. They
declined comment "at this time" on
reports that the strike was to be ex-
tended.
OF all the strike-tortured cities,
Johnstown now was the most appre-
hensive. It wondered If the nights
disorders were to be forerunners Of
more violence.
The trouble burst suddenly shortly
after the midnight hour when shifts
change. It was at the little used Point
Stadium gate Of the Cambria Works.
Police said crowd Of men and boys
set upon them as the gate was being
opened to permit the entry OF an auto
mobile carrying two men.
The officers retaliated with tear gas
bombs. Pistol fire broke out.
Tony Mangas. a picket, was struck
by bullets and critically wounded.
Ambulances that raced to the scene
came upon Phillip A. Frye, Bethle-
hem worker, lying seriously hurt in a
street not far away. His skull was
fractured.
Almost simultaneous with the out
break Of violence, Mayor Shields an
nounced the organization Of a Citi-
zens' Committee to maintain order.
The midnight fight at the Point
Stadium gate was the nights second
outbreak The earlier disorder was
between State police, in full riot equip
ment and pickets at the entrance to
the Franklin mill OF the Cambria
plant.
A girl, an 8-year-old boy and three
other persons were hurt in that clash,
fought in driving rainsto-m.

last Thursday while at work, the en-
ployers first thought they must have
been overcome by gas. But blood
tests failed to reveal any trace Of gas
or other poison.
Then the physicians blamed the
prostrations to heat.
Today the employees went back to
work at 7 am. with the authorization
Of their labor unions officials. Within

In faints
Now the doctors are investigating
the possibility that mass hysteria in

A mysterious fog of gas swept the
Meuse Valley in Belgium in the
Winter Of 1880, killing more than so
persons. An exhaustive investiga ton
laid the gas to sulphur dioxide thrown

rare atmospheric conditions, became
deadly gas.

 Superintendent of Schools Dr. Thomas J. Condon favors the es- tablishfnent of Leavenworth under one roof because conditions as they are at present make 1t necessary for some students to change buildings three times each day, and in sev- eral instances the change occupies about IS minutes, time which would ordinarily be taken up in class rooms.
 Students of Leavenworth, located in the Crosby building at recess time are not admitted to the cafe- teria and are obliged to again cross East Main street, endangering their safety in the heavy trafac, some- times arriving at their own cafeteria with only c few moments to spare for lunch before returning to their classroorlns.
 The establishment of the addition al rooms in Leavenworth buildings on South Elm street would elimin- ate these class interruptions and more time could be allotted for in- struction and study.
 One method already suggested to the board has been to apply for ad- equate appropriations in the 1888 city budget several weeks in advance. The additional rooms needed at this time could be made available if transfer of classroofns in the same building now used by Croft gram mar school could be arranged. The board of commissioners, however, may develop another plan at their meeting Monday afternoon.

CATHOLIC ITEMS

Tomorrow will be observed in the Catholic churches as the feast of Christ the King, recent but "nec- essary" feat, to quote the Catholic Transcript. The establishment of the feast has been the result of the godlessness of certain countries. "Never has Christs right to reign over the hearts of men been so stubbornly disputed as 1t is today, says the editorial in this paper. Fol- lowing this feast on Sunday comes the Feast of All Saints, an import ant feast and holy day of obliga- ton, falling on Monday. The feast of All Souls, also an important ob- servance, comes on Tuesday, but is not 8 holy day of obligation.
 Most Rev. Maurice F. McAuliffe, D. D., bishop of the Hartford dlo. cese, has issued an invitation to the Episcopal Committee on the COnfra- ternity of Christian Doctrine, to hold their fourth Cathechetical Con- gress in Hartford. This will take place in the fall of 1898 in that city, according to Most Rev. Edwin ". O'Ffara, bishop of Great Falls and chairman of the committee.
 The annual meeting of the Con- necticut Council of Catholic Women will be held in Hartford Saturday, November s, at the Hotel Bond. To be discussed will be the subjects of Catholic Youth Organization, the growth of Study Clubs, as well as reports and other routine business Miss Jane Hoey will be a speaker, talking on Social Security in Ac- tion."

Sunday School Lesson--- Moral Issue In The Drink Problem 1s:1s-14 S:s.11 Galatians S:1s-

other way.
 Here in our lesson we are brought face to face with the old problem in terms of sane and healthy liv- ing. It Is not only Q matter of al- cohol; but 1t Is 6 matter of self control, and of decency in all one's habits and living. The appeal is specifically to Christians and the Christian life is one of self-mastery and of sound relationships. The man who is led by the spirit of God will not indulge in evil things.
 The lesson does not touch upon the question of drinking in Inod- eration, or what some would call the question of temperance as against the question of total ab- staaence. It iS not my purpose here to go into the controversy that might arise at this point.
 One may, however, point out that considering all the evil that alco- holic liquor has wrought in the world, there is strong warrant for the contention that the Christian does not arise to his full privilege in combating that evil until he has refused to have anything to do with 1t at all. The total abstainer has logic on his side wyhen he wars against an evil habit and an evil trafac, and his example gives to his words strength and consistency.
