FERGUSON United Press ( it PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept. 25.—The somber marks of protracted indus- trial struggle were settling upon the Monongahela valley today. As far as permitted by rigid police regulations, picket lines were begin- ning to appear about the big steel mills. From inside the plants came |the heavy pounding, rattle and notse of work, while outside great numbers |of men moved thru the streets or loit- ered about their homes, obviously idle, Mounted state police, in their gray uniforms and helmets and full car- tridge belts about their waists, rode thru the streets. Armed deputies stood on guard about the planta. Looking for Aid Meanwhile the strikers are hoping for aid from Washington in the fight they now have begun against the ac- tions of the state police and denial of the right of free speech and as sembiage under the proclamations is- |sued by local authorities. The greatest speculation was aroused by the announcement that a sub-comm of the steel men had lbeen appointed to meet the heads of the four railroad brotherhoods in con: nection with the strike. Railroad men in the Youngstown and Johns- town districts are said to have re- fused to move trains in and out of the mills. Frank P. Walsh has been sum and will take charge of of the struggle. Governor Sproul is on record as solidly back ing up the state police and sheriffs jin enforcing the proclamations and |decrees which the strikers are at: tacking, In a telegram to Foster the gov ernor said information had been re- ceived that efforts were being made, |for “evil-disposed persons at points in other states near boundaries to |collect armed mobs to come across |the state line to overpower our | municipal authorities in attacks on Jour citizens and destroy their prop. erty.” If any such attempts are made we shall be compelled to regard these mobs as armed invaders of Pennsy! vania and we shall deal with them as such,” the telegram continued | Responding to the telegram, Foster | wired the governor that he had been | misinformed as to the circumstances of the Clairton riot, which prompted Foster to send a message of pro n substance the affair was noth ing else but a deliberate and pre meditated assault on peaceful and legal assemblage of workingmen by the state poll Voster wired.

DOCKMEN START BATTLE SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.— (United Press.)—Following reports that a battle was being waged be- tween striking longshoremen and strikebreakers on the waterfront, a riot call was sent to the police today. A wagonjoad of police was rushed to the pol Several ‘large groups of strike breakers gathered on the water- front. ° The front is under heavy guard this afternoon, Members of the law and order committee of the strikers are co-operating with the police. Strikers are reported in an ugly mood because of the employment of many strikebreakers, among them about 400 negroe with the American Féderation of Labor, are doing their utmost to preserve order in the face of most flagrant disregard of their funda- mental rights of free speech and free assemblage and unwarranted attacks by the state police. Our whole group of organizers are will- ing at all times to give the most active assistance to the constituted authorities in maintaining order in this commonwealth.” Today opened quietly, minor clashes between police and strikers at McKeesport and Na- trona late yesterday, in which shots were fired when the state police broke up crowds. Against the claim of the union leaders that men are slowly leaving the plants, the companies reported an increasing number returning to work, The Carnegie plant at Clairton expected go fire another furnace today and re-start ity 21 inch mill, From Duquesne, Brad- dock and Rankin the reports were that the number of men returning today was far greater than yester- day. following CHICAGO, Sept. 25.—(United Press.)——Without a word as to “lans for meeting any crises at the Jethlohem Steel plants, Charles M. Schwab returned East today, In an address here, Schwab did not refer directly to the steel business or the strike. Schwab told the Institute of Min- ing Engineers that the high cost of living will disappear when “we get back to the practice of giving an honest ¢ ss work for an honest day's pay.” BUFFALO) ZONE 1S CALM GARY, Ind., Sept, 25.--Twenty-five striking steel workers were injured in a head-on collision of two street ears at the gates of the American Sheet & Tin Plate plant here today, Many of the injured were badly mangled, and, according to the po- lice, five may die, SHARON REGION QUIET SHARON, Pa., Sept. 26.—Barring this|the firing of a few shots near the affiliated North Carnegie works in Sharon Formerly Priced up to $59.50 Of Tricolette, Paulette, Satin, Taffeta Silk and modish trimming basque Formerly Priced up to $39.50 ; Of Lustrous Satin and Taffeta Silk Are Frocks distinguished by uncommon fashion details in draped Black, Navy and Desirable Colors Are Shown SSeS S.

Steel company officials in Indiana Harbor and East Chicago said men were appealing for more police pro- tection that they might return to their jobs. At Jolict, IIL, the plant was reported still inoperative, GOMPERS SAYS A. F. L. WILL CHECK STRIKES WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. — The American Federation of Labor will act as a check against “untoward acta by policemen’s unions, rather then as an inciter of police strikes,” Samuel Gompers, president of the federation, declared yesterday before the senate district committee, Gompers appeared in opposition to the Myers resolution to~ deprive Washington policemen of their pay if they affiliate with the American Federetion of Labor. last night by men apparently intent on frightening others away from the plant, there was no disturbance in the Shenango valley in connection with the steel strike, \ CLEVELAND MILL OPEN CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept, 2 Only one steel mill was in operat here today, the fourth day of steel strike, The one “unit of t Otis Steel company that continued * operation after the strike went int effect, closed today.
