GERMANS INVITED TO
LABOR CONGRESS
Austrians Also Asked to Send
Delegates Here
By the Associated Press.

BERLIN, Oct 2 (delayed) The Vos-
SiSche Zettung says that identical invi-
tations have been sent from Washing
ton to Germany and Austria to attend
the international Labor Congress to be
held there this month.
Tho newspaper adds that Germanys
answer is under official consideration.
The Supreme Council meeting in Paris
on Thursday considered the question of
the admission OF enemy and neutral del
egates to the Washington labor confer
ence. II was decided TO grant to Ger
man and Austrian representatives, should
they desire TO go TO the conference IA
cilitles to reach Washington The coun-
ell decided, however. that it would be
for the labor conference itself at its first
meeting TO invite enemy representa- tives
to its sessions.
A recent despatch from Berlin said
II was the intention of the Trade Union
lists OF Germany to refrain from partici-
patton in the conference unless definitely
asked, They took the view that their
mere admission to the conference even
with the right to vote, would be in
sufficient.

Discussed.
PLANS NOT DIvULGED
Special Despatch 10 The suN.

WASHINGTON, Oct. g. Robert Lam
sing. Secretary of State, the President
being i'll, has called meeting of the
Cabinet for Monday morning at IL
o'clock. Mr.. Lansing as premier will
preside at the meeting, which will be
held in the Executive offices.
Mr.. Lansing did not vouchsafe to
the other members of the Cabinet the
necessity for calling them together. 1t
was generally interpreted by them,
however, to indicate that the ,Presi-
dents illness is looked upon as very
grave and one which will be pro-
tracted.
The calling of the meeting was sur
rounded with secrecy, but Mr.. Lansing
admitted to THE SUN that he had called
1t and that he would preside.
THE business of the Government must
go on" was the only explanation ..e Of
fered.
1t is the general belief here among
officials and Senators who learned Of the
coming meeting. of the Cabinet without
the President and without the call of the

members OF his official family and that

ways and means of permitting the rou-
tine Of executive business to continue
II the President Is to be completely laid
up for any length of time 1t is necessary
that the Vice-President be empowered to
sign bills and perform other such duties
Not only routine business Of the Gov
ernment but foreign affairs of the utmost
moment are left dangling at loose ends
by the illness of the Chief Executive
The question of the final settlement Of
the Fiume issue. the possibility of recog-
milton of the Esthonian nation prepara-
tory to warning on Bolshevik Russia, the
involved shipping relations OF the United
States with foreign nations, particularly
England, and a score OF other similar
considerations are up in the air. and
must receive executive attention, it was
pointed OUT
Cabinet members do not feel that any
thing can be done now or should be done
politically. The incapacity of the Presi-
dent is a great blow to the pro-league
that not even this consideration should
permit any hitch in the ratification pro-
gramme. even il it were possible. Al
though nearly completely leaderless now,
they realize that it would be impossible
to attempt to slow down the Senate, not
only because of their own eXhortations
for speed hut because the public would
not stand for II.

of Strike Arbitration
Special Despatch 10 TIE suS.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.--At
the close of to-day's session of
the Senate Educational and Labor
Committees investigating the
steel strike, it became known that
all idea Of initiating any pro-
cedure to bring about arbitration
of the strike has about been given
up permanently. Judge Gary's
determination to keep this ave-
nue. closed and fight out the is
sue on the lines laid down by the
strikers has left the committee
indisposed to attempt to formu-
late any programme of legislation
to meet the emergency, it was
said.
Senator Kenyon (Iowa), chair
man of the committee, announced
after the hearing to-day that the
committee would not go to Pitts
burg this week. AS many men,

to will go next week, he said, but

absence Of a witness. This witness,
II. L. Branson, was present yester-
day and substantiated the testimony
of George Richardson that Charles
w. Pipkin had said that he must
have $50 for the recovery Of
Richardson's car because he had to
give Ben Danbaum $50, give $50 to
the kansas City parties" and keep
$50 for himself.
This part of the testimony was
absolutely denied by both Pipkin
and Danbaum in their testimony.
Pipkin said he called UP Danbaum
on Sunday, November IL, and asked
him to come to his Office in the Ar
lington block as he had information
from Kansas City regarding the
Richardson car. When Danbaum
arrived they went to the home OF
Meyer Greenberg and brought him
to Pipkin's office where they
"sweated" him for half an hour
when he broke down and told them
the car was concealed in a garage
at Twentieth and Dodge streets,
where they then went and recovered
it. Danbaum said he did not arrest
Greenberg because he (Greenberg)
told him that Ralph Spellman had
stolen the car and he let Greenberg
go in order to catch Spellman.

SITUATION AT
BUTTE is UNDER
ARMY CONTROL
Twelve Thousand Miners
Idle; Troops Use BayOnetS
to DisperSe Reluctant
MobS on Streets.

Butte, Mont, Feb. l0.-Twelve
thousand miners are idle here to-
night either as the result OF last
weeks strike Of independent union
organizations as a protest against a
reduction of 81 a day in wages and
the "rustiing card" system, or
through fear OF intimidation by the
striking element. The situation is
under control of military forces
commanded by Maj. A. Nj. Jones.
Operation OF street car service in
Butte was halted early in the day
when crowds of strikers surrounded
the barns and, according to the mill
itary authorities, threatened violence
if the cars were sent out on their
runs
For about two hours early today
the troops were kept busy patrol
ling the streets leading to the mines.
Many gatherings of strikers were
broken up and on one occasion when
an individual showed reluctance in
obeying the order to move on, the
bayonet was called into play.
Few Men at Work.
Although the streets were cleared
OF pickets. only a few men went to
work according to John Gillie, man
ager of mines for the Anaconda
Copper Mining company. Gillic
said this was due partly to the lack
Of street car transportation and
partly TO fear of violence. Team
sters of the Anaconda company's
hardware department did not work
because, according to Mr.. Gillie,
they had been warned that violence
would follow if they did.
NO demands for anything have
been presented to the companies"
Gillie said. THE men who have
been at work have not struck-they
are simply being prevented from
going to work through intimidation.
Although they realize they have the
protection Of the soldiers, the fear
that they may be attacked at their
homes or elsewhere when this pro-
lection is not available, has kept
them away.

Of the mines in order to take care
Of those men with families and de-
serving soldiers who have been dis
charged, but there is no necessity of
working the mines at all at this time.
