STEEL STRIKE is LOST.
GARY LEADER CONFESSES

What the Outcome May. Be-"
Unionist Further Declares

Chicago, Oct. 29.-Closely following
the statement of L. E. Titus, member
of the steel workers council at Gary
Ind, that the "steel workers had lost
the strike" John Fitzpatrick, chair
man of the national committee direct
ing the strike, said enigmatically
''The steel strike is won, no matter
what the outcome may be-"
The statement was the first official
admission and it was given to Col w.
S. Mapes, commanding the regular
army troops in the Gary strike area.
"There is no use pretending" Titus
said to the military commander. 1.-THE
men are going back to work The
strike is lost and the army is re-
sponsible."
In explaining his statement Fitz-
patrick said:
1.-The steel workers may be starved
into going back to work, but they have
learned this: They know now that the
steel corporation is not bigger than
the will of the men working for it.
They know now that they can close
down the entire works, and knowing
this they will never again submit,
to the conditions under
which they have labored for years."
Many workers were reported to have
to the steel mills in the Chi
cago district yesterday.
