Rescue Includes Negro Afloat in
Open Boat Seven Days Without
Either Food or Water.
TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 21. Eleven sur
vivors of the British steamer Hay
ronto and one survivor of the Ameri
can steamer Lake Winona were land
ed here today by the fishing smack
Ida, With 19 of the crew of the Bay
ronto landed at Charleston. S. C, on
September 16 and 18 others landed at
Havana, the same day, this accounts
for her full complement.
The men were picked up in open
boats on September 17, 60 miles off
Egmont light. The lone survivor of
the Lake Winona, a Porto Rican
negro, was in & boat full of water,
eating crabs and sea grass. He had
been without other food and drink
for seven days and nights. Chief
Officer Moody of the Bayronto and
Wireless Operator Cole were among
the survivors.
The Bayronto, the survivors said,
foundered in heavy seas during the
gulf hurricane. All birt two of the
lifeboats were smashed by the waves
and in one of these Chief Officer
Moody and ten men put to sea, with
only five gallons of water and a hun
dred biscuits.
Two days after .leaving the vessel,
running .short of water, they spread
their oiled coats and caught half a
bucket of rain water. When the sup
ply of biscuits ran out they caught
a few fish and ate them raw. Once
they sighted a large schooner and
sent up distress rockets, but the
schooner. Moody said, only turned and
swept off in the opposite direction.
The Bayronto, of 11.000 tons, loaded
with wheat, was bound from Galves
ton to Marseilles. All the survivors
brought here were from British ports.
The Porto Rican from Lake Winona
said he and an Italian were swept
from the deck of the ship along with a
lifeboat, in whicli they drifted ten
days before the Italian, suffering
from thirst and exposure, committed
suicide. The Porto Rican was unable
to say what happened to the other 62
men on the Lake Winona.
FRANCE TO REDUCE ARMY
Peace-Time Force of 350.000 Men
Recommended to Senate.
PARIS, Sept. 21. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) A peace-time army of
350,000 men and reduction of the
term of military service from three
years to one are recommended to the
military committee of the senate in
a report submitted by Paul Doumer.
its president. Under his plan 200,000
men would be called to the colors an
nually by conscription and 150.000
others recruited through voluntary
enlistment.
M. Doumer represented that after
the ratification of the peace treaty
it wilT be safe for France to take two
years off the term of obligatory mili
tary service. This system would
make the French army on a war foot
ing total 4,000,000 men.
LABOR SHORT,, HOPS HIT
Crop Falls 2 5 Per Cent Below Ex
pectations; Mould Hurts.
SALEM. Or.. Sept. 21. (Special.)
Because of the inability of hop grow
ers to get sufficient pickers to harvest
their crops it is predicted here that
this year's yield in the Willamette
valley will fall at least 25 per cent
short of that anticipated earlier in
the season. Mould has also appeared
in various parts of the valley, accord-
ing to reports received here, and this
is adding to the worries of the
growers
Had there been no labor trouble in
the yards, growers say most of the
crop would have been saved, and
there would have been no opportunity
for mould to get a foothold in the
vines.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. The rush

145 BIG PLANTS INVOLVED
Movement to Force Suspension of
Operations Will Afreet 2 0
States, Half-Million Men.
NEW YORK, Sept. 21. The usual
Sunday calm prevailed here today
at the headquarters of the United
States Steel corporation. There was
no indication of uneasiness over the
fact that a strike designed to force
suspension of operations in all the
company's 145 plants in 20 states will
go into effect tomorrow.
Both Elbert H. Gary, chairman of
the board of directors, and James
A. Farrell, president of the 'corpora
tion, spent the day at their country
homes. Mr. Gary adhered to his
policy of silence and issued no state
ment of the company's plans for com
batting the strike.
Each subsidiary has been given
permission to meet the situation as
its officers see fit. The only gen
eral order which has been made pub
lic was the letter from Mr. Gary
to the presidents of the various sub
sidiary companies, directing them not
to yield on the principle of the "open
shop."
Company Walts Developments.
It is not probable that any comment
will be made on the strike until the
corporation learns what percentage
of its 268,000 employes respond to the
strike call. These reports must come
from plants in New Jersey, Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Maryland, Massachu
setts, Illinois, Indiana, Connecticut.
Alabama, California,' Washington.
Missouri. Kentucky, Kansas, Minne
sota, West Virginia, Delaware, New
York and Ontario, Canada.
It was estimated, however, that the
number of workers affected directly
or indirectly by the strike will ag
gregate half a million.
The average daily pay of the cor
poration's employes, including the ad
ministrative and selling force, is $6.23,
according to a recent report to the
director. This is an increase of 116
per cent since 1914, when the average
was $2.88. The average annual pay in
1918 was J1950..
Many States Affected.
Iron ore properties of the corpora
tion are mainly in the Lake Superior
district, the southern region of Ala
