There were indications at the close
of the day, however. that the labor
chief was making every effort to OBJ
tain from heads of the steel workers
union consent to call off the proposed
strike and to await the Industrial con-
ference called for October by Presi-

The work of Mr.. Gompers was seen
in the apparent inclination of the United
Mine Workers in convention at Cleve-
land to support a movement to delay
the steel workers walkout- In request
ting that the mine workers take this po-
'sition. Mr.. Gompers forwarded let
ter from President Johnson of the IT,

favoring postponement of the strike.
AS the steel workers will hold meet
ing Wednesday in Pittsburg to discuss
plans for the strike, it was suggested
in some quarters that President Com
pers was endeavoring to influence
these workers through their affiliated
unions.
At federation headquarters today Il
was said that the steel situation was
particularly delicate from labor
standpoint, in that strikes can only be
called or settled by the unions direct

have no power to take any action or

give advice and assistance, and this
