W ( 1 I.W.W.DR6E REVOLT BY NEGRO MILL MEN rittsburg nnd Ohio Steel Dis- tricts Flooded With Lurid Literature. CLASS HATREDS STIHJIED Steel City's Mnyor Gets lied Pamphlets and Police Are on the Alert. j Special Detpaich to Tnn Sex. PittbbURO, Oct 7. With the steel itrlke apparently settling Into a ut struggle, local ojltclals are not concerned so much over the pros- pects of disorder arising from this spe- cific Industrial situation as they are over an eruption of I. W. W.'lsm unconnected with the strike. Mayor Babcock received, copies y of the I. V. W. literature that vra.1 dis- tributed among the negroes of Akron, Ohio. Pittsburg alone lias a black pop- ulation of 26,000, while the district hero-abo- ut has many negroes, brought from the South In the stress of war work. Agitation has been going on here among the colored residents for months, according to reports to the police, and It Is frankly feared In many quarters that trouble may come to a head In the municipal elections In the city. In the crowded Fifth ward there Is. a hot three-corner- contest for Alderman among a negro and two white men. The raid on the I. W. W, quarters at Welrton to-d- Is typical of the extreme cars with which the local authorities throughout the district are watching this situation. They say that It legitimate labor union activity has been forced to puffer under these measures the meas- ures are warranted by the gravity of the situation. statement! Continue to Clnnh. Meanwhile the steel companies con- tinue to assert that they are getting their crews filled and that their produc- tion figures are proving it. The strikers deny this and continue to maintain that their ranks are virtually intact rave at McKeesport. whero William Murphy, strike organizer, admitted y that there had Obeon defections from the union ranks. On the other hand, there was reported to-d- the first closing of fabricating plants In this region because of the lack of raw steel. The General Flreproofllng Company, the Preston Steel Company and the United Engineering Company In the Toungstown district were forced to cease operations, as they had no mate- rials with which to work. In all they employ nearly 3,000 men. The negroes for the most part have remained at work whero they are em- ployed In the steel mills. Most of thorn came here as common laborers. They arrived to face crowded housing condi- tions, which have added to their discon- tent Three negro papers have sprung \- -p and attained I arse clrculstlon In the district, and they an! anything but calm Jr. tone. Authorities here do not profess to know how far the I. V. W. propaganda has gone among the negroes, and for publication, particularly in the local press, they afe putting on the soft portal. They have been busy In a quiet way, however, and believe, ,th,at they will be In shape to act as definitely as did the authorities at Welrton thould occasion demand. I. W. W. Web Set for Negroes, The I. W. W. literature which Mayor Babcock obtained was shrewdly cal- culated to stir up the negroes, here and to get them Into the control of the I. W, W. leaders who have been pretty roundly trounced In certain minor ef- forts they have made to get control of or Influence In the unions conducting the iteel strike. One I. W. W. pamphlet bears a pic- ture of the burned body of a negro boy presented in a fashion as sensational as that In which the steel strikers put out their picture of the crushed head of Mrs. Snelllns, the steel rtrlker martyr, I. W. W. and is entitled: \Justice for the negro; how he can get it.\ It re- cites that two lynchlngs a week have been recorded for years and that even during the war when colored soldiers were \fighting for democracy\ nlnety-rn- e of their race were lynched at home. It then sets forth the Industrial and social Injustices to which the negro Is subjected throughout the country and calls to his attention the fact that he Is not welcomed In any union but the' \one big union,\ the I. W. W. It quotes tho New York Times to the effect that the negro death rate In cities Is 2S7.1 a 1,000, while that for whites 5' 147.1, attributing the larger negro rate to the Inferior quarters in which they are obliged to live. It saya the wages of negro kitchen employees In New Tork city average I0 a week, less than those of white men In similar tasks. Mterntnre o Stir Negroes. 'Throughout this land of liberty, says the pamphlet, \the negro worker Is treated as an Inferior; he Is underpaid In his work and overcharged In his rent; he Is poked about, cursed nnd spat upon; In short, he Is treated, hot as a human being, but as an ani- mal, a beast of burden for the ruling class. When he tries to Improve his condition he la shoved back Into the mire of degradation and poverty'and told to \keep his place.' \He has, however, one weapon the master class fears the power to fold his arms and refuse to work for the rommunjty until he Is guaranteed fair treatment. Itcmember how alarmed tho South became over tho emigration of colored workers two years ago and what desperate means were used to try to p them from leaving the mills and eotton fields? \The only power of the negro Is his power as a worker; his one weapon Is the strike. Only by organizing and re- fusing to work for those who abuse him can he put an end to the Injustice and oppression he now endures. \Moat labor organizations, however, shut their doors to the colored people. The American Federation of Labor him \from any of Its unions as an Inferior. In those to which ho Is admitted he Is treated as an Inferior, \he negro has no chanco In the old lino trade unions. They do not want them, \ney admit him only under compulsion end treat him with contempt. Tholr ofll-?.i- discourage strikes for higher nages or shorter hours aro always \sd as In the case of tho switchmen's union, to permit a strike to prevent the mp!oyment of colored men. \This narrow minded policy of ex- cluding the negro from tho trade unions \t the country forces him to become a ttrlkn breaker against his will by closing 'Ultimate occupations to, him. The con- fluence Is racial conflicts such as the irifiitrul tragedy In KasJ St. Louls In \There Is one International Wbor 'rsanlzatlon In this country that ndmlts tH colored worker on a footing of Jbsolute equality with tho whltos the ' Industrial Workers of the World.\ Tho pamphlet then offers tho riegro absolute equality In the ranks of tho W. V.'. and pleads that the organizat- ion alms for more thaif a mere \less ork and more pay.\ \But tho I. W. W. does not limit Its aJlms as do the trade unions,\ continues the pamphlet, \to less work and more Pay. Its greatest object Is the complete emancipation of the working class. As long as the workers hold their Jobs only by permission of somo employer they are not free. As long as there Is ono class that lives in caso and Idleness off their labor they aro Industrial slaves. \Freedom fortlie workers will come only when everybody does his shnro of the work of tho world and when the .workers take control of the Industries and operate them not ns at present, for tho benefit of the leisure class, but for the welfare of society as a whole.\ It concludes: \Fellow workers of the colored race, do not expect Justice or fair treatment is a gift from tho ruling clashes. You will get from them noth- ing but what you are strong enough to take. 'In union there is strength.' \The only power that the workers of any race or nationality have Is their powei to act together as workers. We therefore urge you to Join with your fel- low workers of every race In the \One big Union \Of the \Industrial Workers of the World.\ Carnegie Steel Claims Gnlns. Tho Carnltgle Steel Company Is well satisfied with the situation, said ono of Its officers \We are In fine shape,'\ he said, \and the number nf iion ..htmini, three figures at several plants. One hundred nnd fifty strikers went to work at Homestead y and almost as many at Clalrton. On every shift we are filling various crews on mills and at furnaces, with thi result showing In our tonnage reports. In somo Instances strikers aro returning\ and taking Jobs inferior to what thoy held before the strike, their old Jobs having been filled. VThere are no further reports of dis- order. The men went to work and are beginning to realize the futility of re- maining away any longer.\ THREATEN A GENERAL . STRIKE IN PITTSBURG Labor Men at Closed Meeting Uecry nestrtcttons. Pittsburg. Oct. 7. The executive council of the Pittsburg Central Labor Union met behind closed doors ht to discuss the steel strike situation and tho refusal of the authorities to permit the holding of mass meetings In the open and In some places In halls. Com- plaints against the Statu police and dep- uty sheriffs were also under discussion. It was said. Tho meeting gave rise to a report that the council might consider the ques- tion of a general strike. When asked as t6 the possibility of tho strike spread- ing beyond the steel industry. W. B. rtubln of New York, counsel for the steel workers.' said that \unless the law- - lessness of the State police and other authorities stops and the workers get Justice. Pittsburg will probably see one of the greatest strikes in Its history\ Strike leaders complain that besides frto speech being denied to them the strikers are being arrested for having union cards and that picketing in many mill towns was forbidden. Mr. Rubin and J. G. Brown, a strike leader, at- tended tho federation meeting and laid before the labor men evidence of alleged persecution of strikers. According to a telephone message from Secretary Hlnkle of the Allied Mil! Workers' Council of Steubenvllle, Ohio, steel workers at Weirton W. Vs., Itvlng in company houses who refuse to return to work were being evicted. RAIDS ON REDS, WHO ARE ACTIVE IN GARY Continued from First Page. to enforce thg orders of the Mayor. The worst Influences which werro exerts came from certain Red agitators whose only desire seemingly was to foment trouble. \The best labor element In Gary stands absolutely for law and order. This was easily determinable. Members of the American Legion and citizens generally responded at once to the JJayor's call fon assistance. \United States troops.on duty In Gary comprise a detachment of the Fourth Division: 105 officers and 916 enlisted mtn. and a detachment of the Sixth Division, consisting of eighteen officers and 512 enlisted men. \In a proclamation to the 'citizens of Gary thy were Informed that the United States military authorities, under the authority ,of the War Department and on appeal of the Governor of Indiana, had taken control of the city, but would at the same time maintain In force the properly constituted municipal STEEL RIOT AT BUFFALO. Strikers Attack Trolleys Filled With Loyal 'Workmen. Buffalo. Oct. 7. six trolley cars of the Buffalo and Lake Erie Traction Company, carrying workmen to tht steel plant of the Lackawanna Steel Company, were held up this morning by striking steel workers, who plld ties and blocks of concrete on the tracks. The strikers began throwing stones nt the cars as soon as they stoppsd, and the passengers returned them, several of them. It was said by tho police, using revolvers. Several men wero hurt and one, Sdam Dumuon. was wounded by a shot from a revolver. Later an exami- nation of the cars showed thirty-fiv- e bullet marks on the seats and through the windows. A detachment of policemen dispersed tho crowd. $250,000 FOR STEEL STRIKERS. Ilonrd of Ladles' Garment \Workers Union Vo4es Aid. BnrFAto, Oct 7.

W. exponents of the red rule of anarchy knelt down In the public square here this afternoon herded together like sheep and picssed their lips to the folds of the Star Spangled Banner. Before the gang stood a resolute man. Warren Hill of the Welrton police force Ho commanded them to kiss tho flag and then ordered all but seven of the gang to pack bag and baggage ad depart forthwith from the town. The red flag, which these 150 men were charged with waving freely, filea no more In Welrton. The radicals are gone some to Pittsburg, others to Steu- benvllle, Ohio, and still others to parts unknown. Seven of the radicals accused of being ringleaders and said to be some of the most prominent among the red leaders, are held In the Hancock county Jail at New Cumberland, W. Va., awaiting ac- tion of tho Federal authorities, which mtr mean their deportation. In another section of Hancock county Is a half ton of literature, composed of banners, cir- culars, cards and streamers, all printed In red Ink. all decorated with the red flacr and \all preaching the same red rule. The raid started at noon to-d- when Hill, aided by fifty picked men, suddenly fell upon an old barn about a quarter of a mile south of this place, the occupants and confiscated the literature,. Among the papers and books confis- cated was the membership roll of tho organization. Armed with policemen Hill went forth determined to stamp out all red agitators, I. W. W.'s, Bolshe- vists, anarchists and other radicals here- about. Within an hour as one deputy after another brought In men the public square assumed the aspect of a prayer meeting. One hundred and fifty men were upon their knees under a gtant American flag and deputy sheriffs were passing another flag among them com- manding each man In turn to kiss It.- - Meantime, the menacing guns of the squad of deputies encircling the crowd never wavered, an Instant, There wero many protests, but all In vain.

Is said to have been tho original home of the men arrested and it la reported that among those forced to kiss the flag were many who. during the war were tarred and feath- ered in Woodlawn for refusing to pur- chase Liberty bonds. Policeman Hill, who was discharged recently from the service, was the sec- ond largest man In the United States Marines. Ho served eighteen months overseas and was decorated at Chateau-Thierr- He Is regarded as a most ef- ficient policeman. It Is said the men sent out of town and those put In Jail wore Flnlanders who aro members of the Bed Guard\ of Finland. Among the literature seized were post cards urging a \red Christmas and a red New Year.\ Somo rifles and revolvers also were taken. ht the Federal authorities were preparing to step Into the matter, as It is alleged the post cards were sent through the United States mails. Mean- time tnere Is a general exodus of Finns from Welrton. Three hundred havo already left. Of tho men who knelt and buried their faces In Old Glory only eighty-fiv- e were employees of the Welrton mill. All the literature confiscated preaches the same doctrlno of \Hoist the red flag\ and men- tions a red Christmas and a red New Tear. INDEPENDENTS LOSE PLACE ON BALLOT Petitions Are Declared to Be Defective. The Independent petitions of three would be candidates at the coming elec- tion, which had worried Tammany Hall not a little, were thrown out by the Board of Klectlons yesterday on the ground, that they did not contain the requisite number of valid signatures. The petitions thrown out were those of Stephen J. Madlgan, for Justice of the Supreme Court In the First district: Patrick J. McGrath, candidate for Mu- nicipal Court Justice In the Sixth Mu- nicipal Court district,, and Harry J. Murphy, candidate for the Assembly In the Sixteenth district. The latter two were running as independent candidates, along with John F. Cronln for Alderman In the Eighteenth district under the au- spices of the Home Itule party, organized ss a protest against the pres- ent leadership of Tammany Hall. The party had adopted an arrow as Its emblem. Mr. Madlgan gave Irwin Untermycr, the son of Samuel Untermyer, n fairly close race for tho second nomination for the Supreme Court in the Democratic primaries. In all three petitions tho Board of Elections decided that signatures had beon witnessed by persons who Had not lived In tho district involved in the petition, \The provisions of Section 123kof tho Election Law must bo strictly complied with,\ said John R. Voorhls, president of the Board of Elections and Chief Sachem of Tammany HalL Upholding Its contention that Timothy Leary, a regular Democratic candidate for Justice of tho Municipal Court In tho Sixth district, does not live In the district, but In White Plains, tho Home Rule party yesterday circulated what purported to bo a facsimile of the birth certificate of a daughter of Mr. Leary.

After many Democratic as well as Re- publican members of tho Board of Al- dermen had denounced it us being too conservative, all except one member voted yesterday for the adoption of the report of tho special committee on the Increase of the salaries of city em- ployees. That one was Alderman Abra- ham Beckerman, who supported the So- cialist minority report, which advocated a minimum of 81,300 for all adult em- ployees of the city. The majority report recommended to the Bo.ud of Estimate (tho Board of Aldermen nas no affirmative powers in miking the city budget) that: The three giades of patrolmen and firemen receive 11,600. S1.S00 and 82,000, respectively, as demanded by them. Police matrons receive an Increase of $250 a year. All employees setting less than 82,000 a year get a 20 per cent, tncreas. All employees above 82,000 get an In- crease of 10 per cent All laborers should get Ma day. Al mechanics should get the' prevail- ing rate of wages. Alderman Held, who Introduced tho minority report for the Socialists, said that common Justlco dictated thaf the 25 per cent. Increase nil along the line for men getting J3.000 or lets, with a minimum of 11.800, which It suggested, was no more, than right. \The Hoard of Aldermen should de- clare Itself,\ he said, \and take the stand Uiat II will not approve any budget that does not carry theso recom- mendations.\ \This report does not satisfy me : It does not mean anything,\ said Alderman Haubert of Brooklyn, \hut being a Democrat and a good organization man, I shall vote for It.\ ' The Alderman tOId a story of a man who last year was getting a salary so small he was ashamed to say Just what It was. This m:in was supporting a family of five : two sons were fighting In France. \And said Alderman Haubert, \that man fcot nn Increase of Just $24 a year.\ Equalization was what was needed greatly, he said, and spoke of many Instances where men in Brooklyn were getting only $1,200 for tho same work for which employees in other bor- oughs received $1,800. Alderman McGarry, also a Democrat, severely criticised the report He had employed many men all his life, he said. Men who twenty-flv- o years ago he gave $1.75 a day to wero nowettlng $7 a day, he said. Men who were getting as much as $4,000, ho asserted, could get along at this time without an Increase lr. favor of some of the lower salaried men. \What Is the use of passing this rec- ommendation?\ said Alderman Qulnn, Republican, sarcastically. \It does not mean anything. Tho Board of Estimate will not pay any attention to It. knowing that the supine majority In the Board of Aldermen will favor any budget that tho Board of Estimate may adopt. The Board of Estimate continued Its hearings on the budget in the Comptrol- ler's office yesterday. Stenographers of tho City Magistrates' courts sent an appeal to the tax budget committee yesterday for an Increase In salary from $2,160 to $2,590. The 10 per cent. Increaso voted recently Is held to .be Insufficient to meet living costs. Magistrates Frederick B. House and Jo- seph S. Schwab have Indorsed the plea. REPORT BANKER MISSING.

The Norwegian American liner In yesterday from Chrls-tlanl- a with 1,187 passengers, a record for her. was detained many dayB on the other side because of the harbor strike In Copenhagen, whence she was to have sailed for this port. Passengers booked from Copenhagen were sent to Chrle-Uan- la with others bound this way by other lines that were tied up. The re- sult was that many cabin passengers were forced to travel third class. Capt. V. Lassen, marino superinten- dent of the Scandinavian American Line here, said that when he arrived at Copenhagen from 10,000 to 15,000 work- ers were out and that forty ships were held In the harbor, causing a loss of millions of dollars. The strike was en- gineered by abiut a thousand of the younger, or Bolshevlkl. element. Den- mark was for a time in fear of a famine and tho older and saner workers took charge of the situation, and with the help of the Danish shipping firms, who threatened to lock out more than 60,000 workmen, they persuaded the strikers, who had violated their agreements, to go back to work.

S. to Relinquish Big German Ships. Washincton, Oct. 7. Upon the basis of detailed reports from the British For- eign Oilico concerning the claims of tho British Shipping Commission to the pos- session of tho former German steamship Imperator and other ships which were used by tho United States Army trans- port service and were recently turned over to tho Shipping Board, the British Embassy has begun negotiations with the State Department to obtain relin- quishment of theso ships to the British transatlantic companies. According to the British viewpoint their Government is in no wise resnonsi bio for the action of the reparations commission In a certain number of tank ships owned by the Standard OH Company t,o bo prizes of war because they were sailed under the German flag. They do not feel that there Is war- rant In law or equity for refusing to turn over other ships regularly allotted to the British by the reparations com- mission as an offset for that decision, especially In view of tho fact that tho tankers wero not given to the British, but were assigned to supply oil to Women Lawyers Indorae f,nee. The Women Lawyers Association has passed resolutions Indorsing tho candi- dacy of Justice Robert L. Luce for reelection to the Supreme Court bench. It Indorsed Justice Joseph E.

A duff COLBY TO LEAD BIG NEWBURGER DRIVE registrations Independent Copenhagen FOE inittco Formed to Reelect Supreme Court Justice. EIGHTS TAMMANY ACTION Appeal to Public Denounces Selection of Untermycr Aid for R, II. Smith. Intensive campaigning for the reelec- tion of Joseph E. Nowburger. to the Su- preme Court nnd of Richard H. Smith to the City Court, In splto of tho fact that they were turned down for renoml-natio- n for unknown reasons by Tam- many Hall, was started last night by the organization of tho Independent Judiciary Committee at Hotel Astor. Balnbrld&e Colby was elected chair- man of a campaign committee of 250 which was made up largely from the separate committees of 150 peevlously announced as chosen by tho Committee of the Bar, the BuBlness Men's Association and the Citizens Union. Mr. Colby will bo the active campaign manager. Henry do Foreflr Baldwin, Felix H. Levy, Fred Kelm \anl Mrs. Harriot Stanton Blatch were chosen and Walter T. Arndt and Joseph R. Trusdale, secretaries. There will ba an executive committee of twenty-f- lvo to bo announced later. Referring to the selection of Irwin Untermyer In place of Justlco Newbur- ger by Tammany Hall, Mr. Colby said: \I have no objection to Samuel wanting to seo his progeny on tho bench. It Is a natural ambition, but I want to know what claim his son has before I can accede to the parental ambition for his elevation. I havo noth- ing to say about young Mr. Untermycr. The Untermyers are unimportant factors In this campaign.\ Mienrn Appeal to'pnbltc. Former Justlco Samuel H. Ordway said It was conceivable that Mr. Unter- myer, Jr., might make a good Judge In time, for the Supreme Court was a good training school, but said there was no reason for turning out a good Judge at tho behest of a political boss. After referring to the able and con- scientious work of Justice Newburger on the bench Clarsnco J. Shearn, former member of the Appellate Division, said he shared the general resentment that such a man, after twenty-eig- years ex- perience, should bo turned down for In an attempt to \return to the evil days when Judgeships were (treated as political ppolls.\ Ho added i \There Is only one question In this campaign. It Is simple and direct, and It will be asked until election day: Why did Murphy choose the jouthful son of Samuel Untermyer for Justlco of the Supreme Court? \Murphy and Mr. Untermycr both know. Tho voters, who are entitled to know, are kept In Ignorance nnd can only guess. It was not because the bar, the press, or any civic bodies asked for the nomination of young Mr. Untermyer. It was not because any known public service had commended him for this Important office. Why was It? \For weeks before the con- vention. It was generally understood that Justice Newburger would be renom- inated as a matter of course. The bar had unanimously approved his record txtATER is the est cleansing known to man. m the newspapers nad com- mended his work, and Hie publio liked the able, fearless Judge. Bven Mr Miirphy's had signed thi bar's report. The thing was settled. Calls It Invasion of Conrta. \Yet tho day before the convention the arrogant tio's sent this message: Tell Judge Newburger lie can't have It' \This was the same Justice New- burger whoso record had Just been eulo- gized by Murphy's and by cverv lawyer of note In the councils of Tnmmany Hall. No one questioned hla fitness. 'But when tho convention met the slip of paper that came out of the boss's pocket had written on It tho name of Irwin Untermycr. \Let us, therefore, call on all good citizens, regardless of party, to Join In a stinging publio rebuke to this at- tempt of politicians to Invade our courts, and by reelecting Justices Newburger and Smith establish a firm and lasting precedent\ Resolutions were adopted declaring that the turning down of Justices New- burger nnd Smith was a \mere private arrangement botwfen Charles 13. Mur- phy and the candidates,\ that \tho deci- sion of the boss was not dictated by the public good,\ nnd that the committee \recognized In then facts n sinister at- tack upon the Independence of the Judi- ciary,\ About two hundred persons were pres- ent.
