Labor Meetings in Pittsburgh
District Broken Up by the
State Police.

Pittsburgh.—Clashes between Penn-
sylvania state police and crowds bent
on holding labor mass meetings in the
Pittsburgh district ushered in the
strike in the iron and steel industry.
The most serious disturbances oc-
curred at North Clairton, twentv miles
from Pittsburgh, late in the afternoon,
where the state troopers charged a
crowd of union men holding a mass
meeting and broke it up. Resistance
was offered and it is charged by un-
ion leaders that the mounted police
men used their clubs vigorously and
injured a number in the crowd. About
a dozen men were arrested. The meet-
ing was broken up at the request of
local authorities.
According to eye witnesses the
meeting was proceeding quietly when
the state police broke it up. The
crowd scattered and some ran up a
railroad embankment and threw
stones and other missiles at the troop-
ers. During the melee, several In tho
crowd were struck on the head by the
policemen, it was said. The crowd
soon scattered and as far as could be
learned no one was seriously injured.
Protests "Murderous Attack."
William Z. Foster, secretary of the
national committee for organizing iron
and steel workers, said that a vigor-
ous protest would be lodged with the
state government against what he
termed a "murderous attack upon law-
abiding people."
Some of the blast furnaces of the
Carnegie Steel Company are located
at Clairton.
There was a slight disturbance at
McKeesport, where union organizers
attempted to hold a mass meeting in
defiance of the proclamation of Mayor
George Lysle forbidding public gath-
erings. More than 2,500 steel work-
ers and sympathizers were gathered
near the southern limits of the city
when a squad of McKeesport police
dispersed them, driving the crowd in-
to Glass port, an adjoining borough.
When the crowd again began to as-
semble in Glassport the local police
appeared and ordered the meeting dis-
persed. The crowd refused to move
and a detachment of mounted state
poiice appeador and with drawn clubs
broke up the meeting. No one was
injured. Two aliens were arrested
for refusing to obey the order to
"move on."

Death Toll at Corpus Christi, Tex.,
Is Also Increased by the
Later Reports.
Corpus Christi, Tex.—Fuller repor:s
received from the devastated storm
area, of which Corpus Christi is the
center, only served to swell the death
roll of the recent hurricane and con-
firm earlier estimates that the total
property damage will exceed twenty
million dollars.
It Is daily becoming more apparent
that the destruction wrought by the
slorm will surpass all previous esti-
mates, both as to life and property.
Little progress was made in the re-
covery of bodies known to be floating
in the bay. The finding of only two
additional victims were reported re-
cently.
Plans for dragging Nueces Bay for
bodies known to be held in the large
amount of wreckage still floating in
the backwaters are being discussed,
although the physical difficulties of
the task may prevent its fruition.

First Division A. E. F. Troops, With
Pershing at Head, Marches Down
Pennsylvania Avenue.
Washington.—Hoarse with cheering,
Washington rested satisfied that it
had paid full honor to General John
J. Pershing and the fighting men of
the First Division.
The Nation's victory parade was
over. For nearly three hours a roll-
ing flood of soldiers, of guns and
horses, of tanks and motor trucks,
Ifad poured up Pennsylvpnia avenua
without check or halt to pass the re-
viewing stand where stood Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall, representing President
Wilson.
The wide street ran bankfull with
its living tide of fighting power and
organization; and as the great pageant
was unrolled before their eyes the
hundreds of thousands of people who
formed those banks roared and
shrieked with pride and approval, the
sound of their cheering slowly dwind-
ling at the end, but only from physical
ehaustion.
General Pershing was carried for-
ward along the whole line of march
as though on a wave of sound as the
Nation and city gave him his formal
greeting. To no American since Ad-
miral George Dewey came home in
triumph from Manila has such an
ovation been tendered. Nor had the
end yet come; for the next congress
formally added its tribute to that of
the city and the Nation, and, with busi-
ness put to one side, tendered the ex-
peditionary commander a formal re-
ception at the capitol.
Fresh from the loyal tribute paid
them in New York, the men of the
First division marched with full fight-
ing equipment. From the ponderous
6 inch howitzers of the artillery to
the diminutive 1-pounders and gro-
tesque trench mortars, the full
strength of the divisional artillery was
there. From the thick- clustered bay-
onets of the infantry masses to the
grim lines of machine-gun mounted
motor trucks, the small arms of this
great fighting unit were on display;
and from the lumbering miles of
hooded supply and ammunition trucks
to a roaring, clattering cavaclade of
whippet tanks, the tools of every
phase of modern warfare were repre-
sented.

His Accomplishments.
The cultured young lady from Bos-
ton who was visiting in Richmond hart
mentioned so often that she spok#
half a dozen languages that the com-
pany was getting decidedly bored, as
no one present was able to prove her
powers as a linguist. Finally, she
turned to a tall, lank gentleman and
asked: "And how many languages do
you speak, Mr. Blank?"
"Three, ma'am," drawled the South-
erner: "poor English, fair Virginian,
and perfect nigger."
What She Wanted to Know.

I A naval aviation cadet at Miami,
Fla., was assigned to a seaplane with
orders to stay in the air for an hour.
After a flight of 30 minutes, the
; cadet landed and taxied onto the
I beach.
j The division commander, with fire
; in liis eye, descended upon the luck-
student. "What's the matter with
you?" he demanded. "I told you to
stay out an hour. You've only been
gone half that time."
"Really, sir," replied the student,
"the air is awful rough. I never saw
anything like it! Why, I looked up
the road toward Miami, and it was
full of blackbirds walking into town!"

Millions of people suffer year after year
from ailments affecting practically
part of the body, never dreaming that their
111 health can be traced directly to acid-
stomach. Here Is the reason: poor digestion
means poor nourishment of the different
organs and tissues of the body. The blood la
impoverished—becomes weak, thin, sluggish.
Aliments of many kinds spring from such
conditions. Biliousness, rheumatism, lum-
bago, sciatica, general weakness, loss of
power and energy, headache, Insomnia,
nervousness, mental depression—even mor*
serious alimonts such as catarrh and cancer
of the stomach. Intestinal ulcers, clrrhosla
of the liver, heart trouble—all of these car
often be traced directly to acid-stomach.
Keep a sharp lookout for the first symp-
toms of acid-stomach—Indigestion, heart-
burn, belching, food repeating, that awful
painful bloat after eating, and sour, gassy
stomach. EATONIC, the wonderful modern
remedy for acid-stomach, la guaranteed to
bring quick relief from these stomach mis-
eries. Thousands say they never dreamed
that anything could bring such speedy relief
—and make them feel so much better lq
every way. Try EATONIC and you. too,
win be Just as enthusiastic in its praise.

pains—no blues or melancholy—no more of
that tired, listless feeling. Be well and
strong. Oet back your physical and mental
punch; your vim, vigor and vitality. Tou
will always be weak and ailing aa long aa
you have acid-stomach. So get rid of it now.

Corpus Christi, Tex—Recovery of
ninety-eight additional bodies along
the north shore of Nueces Bay.
brought the known dead as a result
of the recent storm, to nearly four
hundred, and caused fears that the to-
tal death roll might reach double that

of 386 known dead, with only a small
percentage of additional identifica-
tions. All but possibly fifteen of these

those figures probably broke records
at those points.
