ALIEN STRIKERS WILL LEAVE U. S. BY THOUSANDS Enough Book Passage to Europe to Depopulate Sections Around Calumet District Mills.

Hundreds upon hundreds of forpiftn-

boru workers in the slcl mills of KavtJ Chuajto and Indiana Hnrtior nnd Ham-! tiond have already collected their war-' time savings and arranged for passant'! to their native lands, aecerdtnjr to a! ft.-Uement made to a Chios go pipr yes- ! tcrday. Hundreds more are leaving weekly and' this ftot has often been brought out by, The Times. j The figures are based upon the bank.

accounts of the steel mill employes. Of the ,400 employes. l.tOO have accounts at Uie different banks. Officials Verify Statement. The statement was borne out in substance by Mayor I,eo MeOormnols. "William A. Fuzy, treasurer ef the loard of Education; Charles Surprise. United States commissioner at Han.moni, and officials of the steamship companies and the mills. Mr. Fury, besides beinir treasurer of the I?oard of Education, Is an attorney and a former municipal j'idp". A Hungarian by birth, he is 1n intomate touch with the foreisrn-born population. "Reservations in steamship Hncs."

he said, "have been booked to the lini I up to November 11. '1 here is no .-liauoe for any one to obtain passage before that date. This applies to the Adriatic line, the French line, the Transatlanticltiiliana and the Faroe lines. "There Is no doubt that at least 8.000 persons, or one-tilth o!' the entire population of Fust ChiiHKo, is tX'i'lK back. Saving Up To $5,000.

i born element U from five to six years.

Their satires u.H'iiiy amount lo from $1 ("JO to Ji.ouO or $5. Mint. The only th ns that keeps many mole from soin back at.oin-e is tiie fact that they cannot secure passage. "Most of those people, are Koumanians. Servians. Croitlians. Slavs cr Jugoslavs. "Another determining factor Is that many are wailniK word from relatives from abroad. Ninertt y-live per con haee families over there. Try to Evade Tax. One steamship company, it became known yesterday, has been spreading: the word that it is possible to evade the income tax by taking the Montreal route. There has been, accordingly, a general exodus by this route, it is said. The income tax for tlise not naturalized Is 12 per cent. K. L. Vaughn, agent for the Michigan Central lines at Hammond, stated last night that Roumanians had left over that line in the lu;u two weeks. Commissioner Surprise, who is stationed at Hammond, said that he had received but fifty applications for passports. He explained this, however.' by the fact that only those who possess

tion Is foreign born,' said the Major. At the Republic Iron & Steel Company's plant. it was said by (1. M. Uavis. superintendent, that -8 i"r c-at of the compan's TOO employes are planning to return. According to John Pora, who acted for the Roumanians of Indiana Harbor in arranging transportation. the steel strike has'great accelerated their departure. Mr. 1'ora declares that eightyfour applications for t runspi rt h I ion to r.oumnnia were received last Sn'urd-y and thirty yesterday. The economic effect of lie evxlu. says I'oia. will lie keenly felt. an each Roumanian t ikes et ! ast $2. 'nil in onsh with him. It is his belief that most if the Roumanians will return to this country with their families following a settlement of the present difficulties.

The police' also caused the arrest of three men in an automobile this morning, who are being held on an open charge pending a rigid examination. That there is considerable importance attached to their arrest, is revealed hi the socrc-y tht is being maintained by the police department and startling

facts are expected to be exposed. It is said that one of the men under arrest carried a socialist card.

So far. there has not been a single

clash during the strike and perteet order is being maintained. The strikers bare shown no sign of weakening or despondency and as a whole are stand

the job almost night and day and as far as is known are causing no trouble. If they see a man entering the mill they simply stop him, ask him if he is going to work and if he is aware that there is a strike on. This morning Mayor "W. F. Hodges made a denial of another story -arrh d by the Chicago papers which -'at".! that a" committee visited him and ask-d protection for some eight hundred men v. ho are expected to walk back into the mil's and start to work tomorrow mornini;"There was a committee of a few m-n that did visit me but that was last Tuesday." said the mayor, "but they did net represent any such bfcdy. of men.

Similar cases wfcere threats have been made are known to the police. The conditions at the o.ary mills has ehartged but little. According to informatien received from reliable i'lformatlon this morning neither the slab mill or the rail nit'l started up yesterday as was reported. Only three, heals were tapped in the open hearths. ( ro of these heats was for tiie rail mill but for some unknown reason they did not operate. There are now o batteries of coke ovens in operation, making u tola! of HiiM ovens. This is just half of the full capacity. Reports from the Armriran Pil.lge company states that the plant is only working about 10 per cent capacity while the American Sheet arid i Tin Plate company are operating at a

fair percentage.
