Nearly One. .Ninqll Workers
Affected FROM Steel Strike
WALKOUT HAVING IT'S
EFFECT ON VARIOUS
OTHER INDUSTRIES
ALL OVER NATION
CBy Associated PrcssD

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.--To-
day found the steel strike worse
than at any other time since it
started five days ago. Smaller
plants have been closed down,
and the number of workers al
fectcd totals 100000.
The strike already is having its
effect on other industries. Forty
small coal mines have been
closed down, throwing $4,000
men out of work, because of
the inability of the companies to
obtain steel cars to haul away
the coal.
Ii also was the cause of
shutdown in one branch of the
Ford Motor Company's plants.
resulting in making $4,000 men
idle.
Yesterday the Ford company
was reported to be nearing its
stride in the production OF auto
mobiles. Two thousand eight
hundred units were produced.
Ford and union leaders were
reported to be nearing a settle
ment of the wage and other diff
ferences. A cCAserence is being
held this afternoon, at which
company security and employees
output are being considered.
The meat tie-up appears to be
just as knotty as when the de-
mand for increased wages was
first made. The government is
schea4.ed to take over the
Elants at 1901 tomorrow morn
ing. A. F. of L. workers have
decided to return to their posts
until the wage Dispute is settled,
but CLIO leaders have not yet
announced if its worker-mem-
beers will 60 bach to the plants
till the wage scale is settled.

Fisherman Hooks First Barracuda On Light Tackle

- 80 e , SfNs q = sSS q
the small grunt hook was
lodged deep in his throat and
by careful playing just wore
him out.
Joseph Lowe, a friend, es-
t.mated that he weighed about
"a pounds, and marveled at
the small size hook and fine
leader holding such large
fighting fish.
The deplorable condition
mentioned in The Citizen re-
garding the increased scar
city of certain fishes is very
true. The practice of many
fishermen killing every fish
they hook regardless of size
or need shows an utter dis
regard of craftsmanship. Too
often a few to a dozen nice
tIsn can be seen lying on the
bridges dried nd spoiled.
My practice when shing
for any fish is to remove the
barb from any small hook |
use so l can harmlessly re-
lease any under sized or un-
wanted fish and return them
to the water to furnish moro
sport on another day.

INDICATES PRES

The well the Gulf Oil Cor
poration is drilling on Big Pine
Key today reached a depth of
5,l64 feet, w. S. Smith, con-
nected with the corporation, in
formed The Citizen.
He said that the drill had
struck dolomite, which is al
most as hard to drill as solid
flint. and added that only a
foot or so is drilled through
dOlOmite in several hours. .
A Citizen reporter asked Mr..
Smith if the drillers had yet
brought up any salt and pepper
sand.
What he exclaimed. DO
you think I'd be down here if
we had drilled into salt and
pepper sand?"
That type of sand indicates the
presence of oil.
Mr.. Smith further said that
the drill, in the early stages of
the digging, had hit a porous
stone that is almost as hard as
dolomite.
incidentally, he added, the
corporation has equ pment,
valued at $4,000, ready to use
IN the event a gas or an oil
guSher is brought in.
The corporations agreement
with the Internal Improvement
Fund of the state of Florida IS
that the well must be drilled to
a depth of at least 10000 feet
IN the event that oil is not struck
before reaching that depth.
