New York, Oct. 24.-More than 1,5OO members of the American Iron and Steel Institute at a meeting here today unanimously adopted a resolu- tion endorsing the stand taken by Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation, at the national industrial conference at Washin gtOn The resolution was carried following a speech by Mr. Gary and it's adoption was marked with an ovation to the speaker which lasted for several minutes.
 Attacks Industrial Group
 In his speech, Judge Gary crti- cized the makeup of the industrial conference. He said that in the em- ployers' group there were several some of whom at least should havc been with the labor group.
 Tn regard to the public group, he said that thousands of vacations, professions and other lines of indus try have been overlooked all of which are more or less affected by the cost of production, tho expense of living, and, therefore, the control and con- ditions of both labor and capital.
 Criticizes Makeup of Laborites.
 In regard to the labor group, Mr Gary objected that there was no spe- cial representation of unorganized labor.
 The same mistake seems to hare been made" he commented, "by q large portion of the public that was 11oo 1n JC11 In o1I that organized labor really represents Workmen or wage earners generally, notwithstanding that, as a matter Of fact, at least S5 per cent. of the total are non- -union-not members of any union or organization"
 Referring to radical agitation, Judge Gary said that much has been made public lately about the attempt to spread the doctrine of Rolshevism in this country.
 Denies Serious Danger
 'All of us have known for some time,' he added, ''that this disease is persistent and that there has been some innoculatiOn in this best of countries. Still we deny that there is danger of serious trouble There is only one way to treat this disea SC, and that is to stamp it out, to meet f! boldly wherever it can be found, to expose it and give it no chance for development. In this free country there is no room except in the prisons for the anarchists, the Bo1shevists O., other. individuals who seek to substi- tute the rule of force for the rule Of law and reason.'
 Says Strike Is Broken.
 Judge Gary reviewed at length the inception and progress of the steel strike and declared that the strikers were returning to work in increasing numbers from day to day and that in many places operations were "about nOrmal.' He concluded that, taken as whole, "the situation is good and steadily improving"

Reminds Senators That Those Who Spoke LOudcSt Did Not Necessarily Do Most Toward Winning War Sees New Wars Likely.

Washington, Oct. 24.-The peace treaty was assailed in the senate today by Senator Gronna, republican, North Dakota, as a violation of President Wilson's II points and an arrange ment likely to involve the United nations he characterized as an "un- holy alliance" which would make this country the pack horse for the gov crnments of Europe, Asia and Africa"
 Ban on Free Speech.
 Speaking of the situation when President Wilson asked for the war declaration, he continued: No one was permitted to discuss it The free dom of speech was not only limited but prohibited and unless you were in a position to say so sayeth the king you were denOminated as pro- German and a traitor. Even before the war was declared it was treason to ex- press an honest opinion. 1 felt that sufficient information was not given by the administration to warrant this tsudden change.
 Would Return ObstructionstS.
 Asserting that he had done h:s full duty during the war MT. GrOnna went on to pay a tribute to the loyalty of citizens of foreign blood, although, he said, many had believed that we should either have entered the war at an earlier time or else stayed out altogether" He said he wanted to remind 'character assassins" that the success of the war was not to be at tributed to those who spoke longest and loudest. He added that fore gn elements who "advocate destruction of government" or refuse to obey the law should be returned to their mother countries.

Etna Explosives Co.
Settlement Approved
Special Committee Tells Court
Creditors Have Been
Paid i'm Full

Judge Julius M. Mayer, in the Fed
eral District Court, yesterday signed
an order approving the plan for read
justment of the affairs of the Aetna
Explosives Company, Inc, which is still
in the hands of Ex-Governor Benjamin
B. Odell and ex-Judge George C. Holt
as receivers.
The special committee, headed by
Victor Royal, which prepared the plan
said creditors had been paid in full and
suggested that present bondholders can
exchange their bonds for IS per cent
in cash or for full value in per cent
new mortgage bonds maturing in
twelve years. If they prefer they may
retain the present bonds, which mature
in 1945.
Each share of preferred stock is ex-
changable for $2O.75 cash and SIS in
new mortgage bonds. Common stock
holders retain their-.resent holdings
The report suggests if bondholders
elect to take the IS per cent Of their
holdings in cash, bonds offered to the
preferred stockholders will be practi-
cally first mortgage bonds. Sinking
fund clauses will retire substantial
part of the new bonds each year.
1t is understood that Mr.. Odell is to
be president of the reorganized cor
poration and the receivers will be
members of the board of directors.

West Side ssY'' Girls
Win Field Day Games

Rain, which had postponed the an
short the outdoor sports at Van Cort-
landt Park yesterday afternoon. AS
result the girls Of the Central and
Bronx branches are still arguing the
baseball championship, the score being
tie when rain stopped play There
was not even the satisfaction of re-
deeming rain checks, as players and
spectators alike scampcred for cover
But the field events proper were run
off, much to the delight of the West
Side branch, which won the day. Even
the nine girls who ran the relay and
won the honors for West Side expended
no more effort than their lusty rooters.
The relay gained five points for the
West Side girls. 1t looked for a while
as if the Bronx girls would win
the flag relay until one of their
last runners let the flag fall. The
West Side girls also won the circle
pass relay and five more points. Sec
ond place in the basketball throw gave
West Side another point, making the
total II, enough to win the day. Cen
tra scored a total of 7, Bronx and
Harlem 3. Central won the basketball
throw when one Of it's team tossed the
ball for new record in the Y. W. C. A.
games.
These girls made up the winning
West Side team: Mary Toy, A. Wright,
E. Vaupel, P. Berthold, l. Henderson,
c. Schmitt, G. Reinhard, G. Schimpf,
M. Strehlin, W. Wendland, c. B. Plumb,
M. Webster, M. Smith.

Risk Run by Soldiers
Says He'll Ask Glass to Retire
Bureau Chiefs and Put
In Service Men

Representative Fiorello H. La Guar
dia, who held the rank of major in the
air service, declared last night his in
tention of urging Carter Glass, Score
tary of the Treasury, to put the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance in the hands of
soldiers His announcement was made
at dinner given to him by the Prog
ress Republican Club and the Womens
Republican Club of the Eighth Assem-
bly, District at the Hotel Astor.
AS soon as he reached Washington
Representative La Guardia said, he
would ask Secretary Glass to accept
the resignation of bureau heads and
chief clerks in the Bureau Of War Risk
Insurance and substitute soldiers for
them. He said he intended to intro
duce resolution in Congress to the
same end.
Samuel S. Koenig, chairman Of the
Republican County Committee, another
speaker, urged an educational campaign
of Americanism to combat the efforts
of Bolshevist agitators instead of de-
porting the agitators themselves. Such
departations, he. said, made martyrs of
the men who we're shipped away and
won converts to the cause of the rcvo-
lutionaries.
Other speakers were Dr.. Nicholas
Murray Butler, Senator William M
Calder, Frederick C. Tanner, Francis
M. Hugo, Secretary Of State, and Mar
cus M. Marks. Judge William H. Wad-

over to the Senate Friday, will be
placed on the calendar of business

q day and cannot be voted upon until
Monday. If the motion carries, unani-
nous consent is not necessary for any
further progress in pushing the

Northern Baptists Join
Protestant Fund Drive
Proposed Church Union With
Other Evangelical Faiths
Is Rejected

DENVER, May 24.-Ths Northern
Baptist Convention here to-day voted
to join the proposed international fed
Grafton of thirty Protestant denomina-
tions for joint campaign to finance re-
ligious work. The Southern Baptist
convention recently rejected the plan.
resolution was adopted unani-
mously rejecting a proposal for or
ganic union with other Evangelical
churches, which had been made by the
Presbyterian Church. Maintenance of
Baptist traditions and independence
was insisted upon by the convention.
The resolution rejecting church
union said: "The democracy which is
the very basis of our UNCONVENTIONAL
life makes any organic union with
groups of Christians holding opposite
views unwise and impossible"
An amendment to the resolution
asking Congress to ignore President
Wilson's request for repeal of war
time prohibition was adopted, omit
ting all reference to President Wilson
and his recommendation to Congress.
A gift of 100000 to the conven-
ton by John D. Rockefeller contingent
upon completion of the $6,O00,O0O fund
now being raised was announced by F.
W. Aver, of Philadelphia, president.
One-half the sum is to go to the

the other half to the home mission
society at New York. To date 49,

Ne1u York Tribune
Wnshiunfou Rurs1u

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The United
States government has arranged to de-
port 1000 civilian and 500 military
German nationals, now interncd at
Camp Oglethorpe. who have expressed
a desire to return to Germany.
The German government has in
formed the State Department through
the Swiss Legation here, which handles
all German interests in this country,
that all expenses of transporting the
aliens to Europe will be assumed by
Germany, and the United States in re-
ply has agreed to place the internees
at seaboard probably Charleston, s. c.,
for removal out of the country.
The negotiations for the deportation
of the intcrned men and women fol-
lowed canvass of the enemy aliens
lncarcerated at Camp Oglethorpe.
In the list of aliens who will be per
mitted to return to Germany are only
those whose cases were held by the De-
partment of Justice to include enemies
guilty of minor infractions of the en-
envy alien act. No dangerous aliens
are to be released for voluntary return
to Germany, it was said.
In the canvass made by Department
OF Justice officials numerous German
subjects informed for the period of the
war expressed a desire to become
American citizens. Efforts will be made
to facilitate this action in cases where
the department believes the declara-
ton is sincere.
1t is expected the Departm of JUS
tice will again request Congress to
pass legislation authorizing the depor-
tation of all dangerous enemy aliens,
many of whom have made declarations
that they desired to remain in this
country. The present law gives no au-
thority to deport those now held as
dangerous, and also fails to provide for
lnternment these malcontents, and with
the signing of peace they automatically
would obtain their liberty.

Women s Rise in
Politics Praised
Coz. Smith Says Sex Has
Taken Big Step Since
Dolly Madison's Day

Dolly Madison served her country by
hanging out the wash in the East Room
of the White House (thereby setting
an example of housewifely ingenuity
and by saving the portrait of George
Washington from the British. Aside
from that she had little to do but be
beautiful and charming--a very differ
ent programme from that of modern
women as observed by Governor
Smith.
At the luncheon in honor of Dolly
Madison, given by the Woman's Demo
cratic League at the Hotel Biltmore
yesterday the speakers used the name
of their famous patroness only to point
the contrasts between her day and this
Dolly Madison would certainly be
surprised" said Governor Smith, look
ing across the mound of roses and
snowballs on the speakers table to the
500 women politicians, district and
ward leaders and officials of other
Democratic organizations. There has
been marked progress in every line of
human activity since Dolly Madison s
day, and the entrance of women into
political life marks a great stride for
ward in that progress.
The governor told the women that
the Democratic Party was the only
channel for their enthusiasm along
reform lines, for the Republican
Party, he said, was the party of cob
structionists and stand patters.'
Other speakers were Mayor Hylan,
Mrs. Clarice Baright, James w. Ger
ard, Lewis Nixon and Mrs. John Sher-
win Crosby, president of the league.
Mrs Lewis Nixon was chairman of the
luncheon committee, assisted by Mrs,

Anglo-Japanese Alliance
Necessary, Says Iyenaga
Not Inconsistent With League
of Nations, He Says at
Club Dinner

The Anglo-Japanese alliance Is neces-
sary, in addition to the league of ma
tions, to preserve peace in Asia, DR..
7. Iyenaga, director of the East West
News Bureau and semi-official spokes-
man for the Japanese government, said
last night. His defence of the alliance
was made before a hundred guests of
the British Schools and Universities
Club, at dinner at the Astor, at which
Job Hedges and Major A. W. Little
were other speakers.
"Thc Anglo-Japanese alliance is not
inconsistent with the league of ma
tions," said DR.. Iyenaga. Rather, it
is complementary to the league. 1
dare not say that the day will not come,
when the league is firmly established
and in good working order, when the
responsibility resting upon the alliance
might safely be shifted upon tho shoul-
ders Of the league. In the mean time
the alliance acts as a preserver Of
peace in the greatest of continents,

Actor Is Artist
ForWages, Opinion
OF Francis Wilson
President of Equity Associa-
ton Sees Nothing Undig-
nified in the Demand for
'Closed'' Stage Entrance

Is an actor an artist or an artisan {?
Francis Wilson, president of the
Actors Equity Association, undertook
to answer that question yesterday. He
says an actor is an artist, but that he
also is a wage Garner.
The fact that the actor Is wage
Garner, Mr.. Wilson holds, justifes the
efforts of the members of the pro-
fession to organize and deal with the
producing managers on a labor union
basis.
Politely but firmly, the actors,
through their association, have de-
manded revision of their contract
with the Producing Managers Associ-
alton to include, among other things,
extra pay for Sunday and holiday per-
formances an eighth of a weeks pay
for each extra performance.
At the annual meeting of the Actors
Equity Association tomorrow at the
Hotel Astor they will consider the
question Of insisting on closed shop
whether members of their organiza-
ton shall in future act with nom
member players.
At the headquarters Of the associa-
ton, at 1472 Broadway yesterday, Mr..
Wilson said:
"The actors would like to know
what union labor thinks about the
managers statement that proposal for
closed shop involves abandonment
of dignity and standing
AN actor is, of course, an artist.
He uses his mind, his personality, his
technical ability, and, if he possesses
it, his magnetism. But for all that
he is wage Garner. The actor simply
wants pay for what he does We
have accomplished many things for the
actor through this organization. For
every week more than four weeks that
legitimate production rehearses now
the actor gets half weeks pay
Formerly he got nothing.
Since the association was formed
six years ago it has collected $780,
600 for its members. That is money
that would have been lost to them but
for this association. Surely there is
nothing grotesque about that
