STEEL SHE MAY AEFECTMILLIOHS Action Set for September 22 Involves 500,000 and Other Trades Sympathize. PROVIDE AGAINST WANT All of the 500,000 steel workers in the United States may become In volved in the strike which has been called for September 22. There is a possibility of ifc? Including all the twenty-four metal trades in the (American Federation of Labor. In that event several million workers will go out. - The group which is to stop work a fnnlji ?^?,m 1ext Monday has plenty of funds for a long tight, not only in the local unions throughout the country, ln the f?rm of individual wage savings. The steel workers'1 h5i0JVPr<lPer 7n,wbe supported tw?.nty-three other unions comprising the metal trades group. Considered Possible Suffering. When the executive council of this group voted late Wednesday for a steel strike ample consideration was given to the liability of suffering by the women and children of the strik- ' ers through privation this coming1 winter. And so special provision for their welfare has been made. 1 This summary of.the pending strike situation was giveif yesterday to The Evening Star by John Fitzpatrick of Chicago, ^chairman of the executive council, following a conference with Department of Labor officials. He in council will meet again about the middle of next week af' Pittsburgh, and go over revised ! flcufls P 8 wlth other union .of- ! . ^ Fltapafrick rather emphatical ly, j*; the executive council did not disregard President Wilson's re Quest for a postponement of strike action until after the industrial con ference ln Washington October 6 "Forced to Call Strike." to7?i1fli?U??i1 Dd ev?r>rthing possible President's desires in the matter, he said. "We were finally forced to call a strike by pressure fn?whleha WaS a sltuation ? which we might legalist declare a strike or sit tight and do nothing and *av.e the local simply go over our wlthout official sanc ?>. y m Sir e'ected representatives In Federation of Labor." Fitzpatrick then produced tele fhat ,8howed definitely ? 2^? 8 ,would stand for no tactics of delay In actioa by tfte ex ecutive council. "You wonder why this spirit is rife among the steel workers? 'This is one reason: In the last ten days seven of our workers have been killed by steel corporation guards. One of them was a woman, shot to fleath when she ran into the street to pro tect some children who were in the ! 4U J?re" Here is another reason: In the Pittsburgh district union peo ple are deprived of all their consti tutlonaj rights. They are forbidden the right of public assemblage and the right of free speech. And a third reason: Our repeated efTorts to ar ? conference with officials of the United States Steel Corporation have met with just one answer?the murder of our people." States Strike Preventives. Can the strike be averted now?

Suggestions have come from nu merous sources that the thousands who view the parade next Wednesday | bring with them all the wild and cul tivated flowers they can gather and shower the marching troops with blossoms as they pass. "Every man, woman and child should gather all the wild and culti vated flewers within the District and adjoining counties," said Fulton R. i Gordon of Chevy Chase today, "and at the approach of Gen. Pershing throw a liberal portion of their flow ers in front of his horse, retaining a generous amount to shower upon | the soldiers following. ] "The superintendents of our parks and botanic gardens might be re quested to gather all the flowers in their gardens and have Boy Scouts distribute them to spectators along the route of the parade, to be thrown to the marchers." Airplanes to Fire Salutes. Spectators at the review will see the best imitation of an air battle ever given in, or, rather, over, Wash ington. There will be twenty-three airplanes flying while the soldiers are marching, and they will fire a series of salutes from their machine guns while speeding above the Ave nue. Nine of the machines will be of the De Haviland type and fourteen will be Bristol single-seaters. While the airplanes are darting through the sky a large "sausage bal loon." of the type used on the front for observation, will be flying above Potomac Park. The big bag will be a familiar sight to the veteran marchers, for balloons of this type marked the battle lines on every day the weather permitted, and offered j tempting targets to enemy airmen. The planes and flyers will be from Boiling Field and Hazelhurst Field, the latter near Mlneola, Long Island. The flights are being arranged by Lieut. Col. John N. Reynolds and Maj. Scan Ion.
