STEEL MEW f 375,000 REPORTED IDLE Bethlehem Walkout Minimized by Company; Situation More Ten at Chicago. PITTSBURG. Sept. 30. The steel worker strike, so far as the Pitts burg; district is concerned, drifted along; today without acy important change being; ' noticed. The entire strike sone was quiet. The unions claim they are holding; their men to gether and are constantly bringing; more into their ranks. The com panies, however, say they are getting more workers into the plants due to the desire of men to work and to the good police protection. While both sides are working to in crease their respective forces there is a belief in some quarters that no break, if any. can be looked for until after the industrial conference at Washington next Monday. Labor leaders, capitalists and representa tives of the great third party the public will meet there and the hope is expressed here that something tangible will come out of the confer ence to bring an end to the strike satisfactory to both sides. Straa-aie Oa. In the meantime the struggle will go on here. There are more organiz ers in the Pittsburg district now. ac cording to labor leaders, than at any other time since the walkout started nine days ago. Steel companies that daily give out information continue to maintain that the situation from their standpoint is slowly but steadily improving. At the national headquarters of the strikers satisfaction was expressed by leaders, that they have the strike well in hand and that they will be able to keep the steel industry of the country crippled until the employers consent to meet the men half way. Ab-eat 373.O0 Idle. Figures were given out for the first time in nearly a week. It was said that approximately 375.000 workers are now Idle. This is an Increase of about 33,000 over the number report ed idle by the leaders last week. The walkout of steel workers at Bethle hem and at the Jones A TLaugblin plant In Pittsburg, It was said, was responsible for the Increase. One of the developments of the day that did not satisfy the strike leaders was the decision of the Allegheny county court in upholding the action of the mayor of Duqueine In prevent ing mass meetings. Secretary Will iam Z. Foster of the national commit tee, and an organizer were arrested two weeks before the strike started while attempting to speak from an au tomobile in a vacant lot. No permit to bold the meeting had been asked for. Mr. Foster and the organizer were each fined f 100 and the county court today upheld the action of the city authorities. The court held that the rignt of free speech, sacred though it may be. must yield to the greater one of safety for the people of the commonwealth, their homes and their property. Contradicting reports from com pany sources that some of the plants in the Farrell field are starting up. information was given out at strike headquarters that only (00 men out of KOOO normally employed were at work. NEW YORK. Sept. 30. At the offi ces of the Bethlehem Steel company a statement was Issued today saying the strike situation showed improve ment over that of yesterday. Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation. left today for Washington, where he will appear before the senate investigating com mittee, when It resumes its investiga tion of the strike. BALTIMORE. Sept. 30. The Spar rows Point plant of the Bethlehem Steel company was reported by the management to be In full operation today as usual. A few workers in the tinplate mill were reported "ab sent. but without hampering the op- eration of the mill, it was added. PITTSBURG. Sept. 30. An early telegram from the east, it was said at union headquarters, claimed that the Bethlehem plant of the Bethlehem Steel company was iS per cent down. Officials of the Bethlehem company, however, strongly assert that the strike has not interferred materially with their production. Senator Kenyon, chairman of the senate labor committee investigating the steel strike, wired union head quarters today that the committee hoped to Tisit the Pittsburg district the latter par of this week or the first of next, dependent upon the vot ing on the amendments to the peace treaty. The committee requested William Z. Foster, secretary of the steel work ers national committee, to appear be . fore the committee in Washington Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. Foster said he would appear. CHICAGO. Sept. 30. Tension In creased today between the warring forces in the Chicago district steel strike area. Both sides claimed gains, but developments seemed to indicate Irttle change in comparison with pre vious days. The big plants continued to operate at about 15 to 30 per cent capacity and no serious violence was reported. At Waukegan. where 3800 employes of the American Steel Wire com pany are on strike, the authorities conferred with union leaders in regard to the need of calling on Governor Lowden for state troops. The labor men assured the mayor and sheriff that they would redouble their efforts to control the strikers, and it was decided to hold in abey ance the request for troops. Governor Goodrich of Indiana sent Colonel J. R. Harrison to Gary to in spect the situation and report to him. The authorities denied that they had any Intention of asking for troops un less conditions grow materially worse. Officials of the Indiana Steel com pany reported 4000 men at work, while a number of smaller concerns were operating with a reduced force. HOOD FRUIT CO.

At the beginning of the fall season of low production there are already several thousand homes in the city which cannot get all the milk they want.
