CALLING OUT \. g. r.

PITTSBURGH. May 6-Governor
Brumbaugh. in a speech here last
night. defended his action in calling
out the Pennsylvania National Guard
for strike duty in East Pittsburgh
and pleaded for an orderly settlement
of the industrial conflicts i'm the Pitts

"A few years ago the appearance OF
the National Guard was construed as
Intervention on the side OF the em-
ployer. and often was used TO effect
one-sided settlement of a strike,
said the Governor. 1T will not he so
used under my administration.
Let there be no misunderstanding
Of the States attitude in all this. II

duty that of conserving life and
property, and it steadily has i'm mind
the welfare OF its citizens-their

IDISAPPUOVE GERMAN REPLY

BY The United Press.
NEW YORK, May Ga poll OF 1872
representative American newspapers,
compiled here today by the New
York Times from editorial comment,
reveals that seventy-four disapprove
the reply Of Germany to President
Wilson's submarine note, twenty
eight approve and thirty are nom
committal. In the Times poll the
eastern portion of the south is a
trine more hostile 10 the reply than
any other section.
The Suns deduction from the edi-
torial comment Of the nation is that
most Of the papers deem the Prosi-
dents demand substantially met
II says "ln the press of the
country. the prevailing editorial opin-
ion Is that Germany's reply has sub
stantially met President Wilson's de-
mand."
The German-American papers gem
orally express the opinion that the
demands on Germany have been met
