In the Pittsburg district, sev-fVral plants which attempted tc Vjcontinue operations yesterday, shut down today.

In the Chicago district, nearly all plants, including those at Hammond and Gary, are either closed or operated at greatly reduced capacity. In the Mahoning Valley of which Youngstown is the heart, reports agre.ed the strikers achieved their most marked success. Many large plans are closed and the strike leaders are claiming 55,000 men quit. The possibility of the ftrike spreading to the Bethlehem works where 35,000 men are em- 1 ll i A 1 pioyea, is more tnreatening xouay Rioting which broke out at sev- II eral points yesterday, was resum ed today. In clashes at Farrell and New Castle, Pennsylvania, 13 persons were wounded, three of whom may die.

The situation is regarded as so menacing in the Pittsburg listti that reinforcements of State troops were sent there.

LABOR OPENS ITS FIGHT ON ANTI-STRIKE PROVISION (67 Associated Frees) Washington, Sept. 23 Organized labor launched its fight against anti-strike provision of the Cummins railroad reorganization bill today before the Senate Interstate Commerce Com-X mittee.

Glenn E. Plumb, general counsel for the railroad brotherhoods and author of the tri-parte control of railroads, said the provisions were a guarantee of "industrial revolution." He asserted they destroy the right of collec- tive bargaining and are directed solely at the wage earners. Answering a question of Senator Pomerene, democrat, of Ohio, Plumb conceded two weeks stop-, page of transportation would mean disaster and starvation for people of all cities.

Cook, prominent young Indianapolis lawyer, a member of one of the most wealthy families of the Hoosier city, is under arrest in Indianapolis. Cook met Miss DeLong while she was at tending Tudor Hall, in India napolis, last winter and after five months' courtship they eloped and were married.

Mrs. Anhcir, mother of Miss Delong, declared her daughter was only 17, instead of 18 years old, as stated in the application, for a wedding certificate. The mother carried her protest to the Marion county clerk resulted in her husband being charged in the juvenile court, with contributing to the delinquency of Dorothy Cook by influencing her to faslify her age. Cook caused her mother to bring his wife into court on a habeas corpus charge. Attorneys ministers and friends have attempted to.

settle the affair out of court, but -with no avail. Mrs. Cook says, "I love my husband and I will live happily with him, although mother objects just now."

The meeting at the court house last night under the auspices of the American Legion, brought out a large and enthusiastic audience. The meeting was pre? sided over by Mr. Thomas Mc-Cown, chairman of the Madison county Post.

Supt. Howard Payne introduced the speakers in appropriae words. Dr. J. R.

Sampey was the first speaker. Prof. Payne called attention to the appropriateness of the subject, "The Will to Conquer How Foch Won the War," in its relation to the purpose of the meeting, namely, creation of interest in the erection of a memorial building on the campus at the State University, Lexington, in honor of Kentucky's men who died in the service of their country during the late war. Dr. Sampey's lecture was a thrilling account of the life and achievements of Marshal Foch and he held his hearers in the grip of rapt attention 'from beginning to end.

He traced the steps of development in the early life of Marshal Foch showing how he achieved greatness by slow progress. He saw 4 months service in the Franco-Prussian war but like many of our Ameri can soldiers in the recent war with Germany, he never had the opportunity to fight the Germans He went through the various war schools of France, always ranking third or fourth in his classes. He devoted his life to the study of the art of war. He" knew that some day France would have to fight Germany and whether as student or instructor in the great war college he bent every energy to his preparation for the great crisis which cante in 1914 and closed November 11th, 1918, with Foch leading the forces of the Al lied armies to victory. Dr.

Sampey brought out two prominent characteristics in the life of this great man, namely, his piety and his refusal to accept defeat. Following Dr. Sampey's ad dress, President Frank McVey, of State University, made a short talk on the appropriateness of a building built at the University to the memory of the Kentucky boys who gave their lives in the great struggle. He said that the names of each one will be placed on a tablet that the coming gen erations of young men, coming to the University, will see and know who it was who died that their liberties and freedom might be conserved. He said that too often great deeds and sacrifices are forgotten and that Kentucky ought not to begrudge the small sum of $300,000 asked of her for this no ble purpose.

Sampey will lecture this evening at the first liaptist church on "The Political and Economic World in Which We Live." He speaks at Red House this afternoon at 3 o'clock. He speaks at Kepubiican at a. m. or Wednesday. Calvary Tent Meeting Closes The Calvary Baptist tent meeting closed Monday night.

Considering the difficulties which hindered some, the meeting was a success. The membership of the little church was revived and drawn closer together and plans set on foot to solve the problem of financing the new church building. These two features of the meeting alone makes it a glorious success. There were also two additions to the cnurcn. evangelist' lone is a gospel preacher and has a winning personality.

He conducted the revival in a tactful, masterful way which brought the victory in spite of the opposition of the carnival and the annoyance of the wind storms and rain. He won the esteem and affection of the people by his optimistic kind, pleasing disposition. It is hoped that Rev. Tolle will come to Richmond again fdr a meeting. Mr.

O. P. Jackson will conduct the prayer meeting Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock, and every member of the church is especially urged to be present as there is some im portant business to attend to. TEACHERS TO HEAR FOSTER SATURDAY Prof. L.

E. Foster, of Hopkins-ville, democratic candidate for state superintendent of public instruction, has accepted an invitation to speak to the teachers of Madison county at their regular meeting next Saturday, Sept. 27th. Prof. Foster is one of the ablest young educators in Kentucky, and strictly a live wirei Another feature of the meeting Saturday will be an address by Miss Emma Hunt, of the state Illiteracy commission.

JAILER WINS FIRST ROUND OVER TAXES Owing to the fact that the City of Richmond was not represented, Judge W. K.

Price in quarterly report Monday gave Judgment against the city of Richmond in favor of Jailer W. H. Burgess, for the sum of $12.62. Jailer Burgess sued the city to collect this amount owing him for the keep of city prisoners, and to test out the question of whether he, as a resident of the county, holding office, and temporarily, he says, located in Richmond, is compelled to pay city taxes. The city, at a previous.

councilmamc session voted to withhold the amount of taxes it claims from him, from his prisoners' bill, The above suit resulted and Jailer Burgess thus wins the first round through failure of the city to be represented legally, or otherwise, when the case was called before Judge Price. Judge Price had lots business be fore him in quarterly court Monday, The jury which heard the testimony in the case of E. L. Martin against Morris Amster failed to agree, but afterward the case was settle and dismissed. It was for the sum of $17 for tobacco alleged to have been bought by Amster.

Over the entrance to the administration building will be an inscription read ing: "Gift of the American Red Cross to the town of Montdidiei.

In Memory of the American Soldiers Who Fell at Cantigny." Cantigny, in the valley below Montdidier, was the first American battle field in France. In the beginning of the Allied advance last summer, the Americans captured Cantigny against tremendous odds, advancing further than any other troop3 in taking it. Many Americans lie buried on the hillsides about the town. The French country people are keeping the graves green, many of the families having "adopted" American graves. In the country surrounding Montdidier, the soldier-peasant is returning to the soil.

Crops are growing where in January there were hundreds of shell holes, dugouts and trenches. Nearly half of the devastated fields in the district have been re claimed- But while this has been going on the villages have in a large measure been neglected. Social life, however, is being rapidly restored. Churches and schools are springing up everywhere and in many cases Red Cross barracks are serving for this purpose. Despite the fact that their homes are dark cellars and dugouts, the people are cheerful and never fail to express their gratitude and ap- has preciation for what America 2493don for them.
