Rail Workers Return
To Steel Plant Today
After Winning Peace
BY the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 13.-About
l, 800 operating employees of the
Union Railroad, on strike the past
eight days in a demand for a so
cents hourly wage raise and other
benefits, agreed to return to their
jobs today.
The return also would end the
idleness of 1880 steel workers, en-
ployes at four Pittsburgh district
plants of the Carnegie Illinois Steel
Corp, served by the inter-plant rail-
road. Both Carnegie-Illinois and
Union Railroad are subsidiaries of
United States Steel Corp.
15-Cent Raise Accepted.
A Joint statement issued last night
by railroad officials and negotiators
of the Brotherhoods of Locomotive
Engineers and Railway Trainmen
said the workers were to receive an
immediate 15-cents-an-hour pay
raise plus any additional increase
which might be agreed upon in
national wage determinations"
Wage committees of the Big Five
Railroad Brotherhoods will meet
September 10 to formulate a general
wage demand for all railroad oper-
ating groups.
The strike. authorized by the
National Brotherhoods, began Sep
TENDER 5. With their inter- plant
carrier lines out of operation, Carne-
gie-Illinois mills halted basic steel
operations almost Immediately at
nearby Homestead, Braddock, Du-
quesne and Clarion and heavy
operations were curtailed at the
Irwin works.
Steel Mills to Speed Work.
A spokesman for Carnegie Illinois
said every effort would be made to
get the 1880 furloughed employees
back on the job as soon as possible.
Work on blast furnaces was to
start today with other operations
resuming more slowly.
The company said the stoppage
has resulted in loss of $4,000 tons
of finished steel daily.
Besides the demand for a 50-cent-
an-hour pay raise, the union asked
four weeks vacation for 20-year men
and bonus pay for night workers.
The new vacation schedule provides
for one week after years con-
tinuous service, nine days after five
years and IL days after 10 years.

Do you get up in the mornings still
tired, feel down-and-out all day? Have
you checked-up on your blood strength
lately? Overwork, undue worry, cold, flu
or other illness often wears down the
red-blood-cells.
Every day-every hour-millions Of
tiny red-blood-cel must pour forth
from the marrow Of your bones to re-
place those that are WORKOUT. A low
blood count may affect you in several
ways: no appetite, underweight. no
energy, q rundown condition. lack OF
resistance to infection and disease.
To get real relief you must keep up
your blood strength. Medical authorities,
tive proof shown that SSS Tonic is
amazingly effective in building up low
blood strength in n~on-organic nutri-
tional anemia. This is due to the SIS
Tonic formula which contains special
and potent activating ingredients.
Also, SIS Tonic helps you enjoy the
food you eat by increasing the gastric
digestive juice when it is non-organi-
cally too little or scanty-thus the stom-
ach will have little aus to get balky
with gas, bloat and give Of that sour
food taste.
Don't wait! Energize your body with
rich, red-blood. Start on SIS Tonic now.
AS vigorous blood surges throughout
your whole body. greater freshness and
strength should make you eat better,
play better, have a healthy color glow in
your skin-firm flesh fill out hollow
places. Millions Of bottles sold. Get a
bottle from you drug store. S Tonic
helps Build Sturdy Health.

the possibility OF an additional

Surveys indicate that the great
