Planes in TranscOntinental Derby
Will Stop at Rock Island
Early Next Month.

Rock Island is to be a stopping
place in the transcontinental air
plane derby race that is to start

This was the information receiy-
ed today in a letter from Lieuten-
ant Colonel II. NJ. Hickam of the

H. NJ. Schriver.
The purpose of the race is to es-
tablish the best route by air -

The city is requested to make
plans Immediately to erect mark
ers bearing the symbol "II-145."

1t is also urged that the work be
completed as soon as possible and
the director of the air service in
Washington notified to this effect,
that it may be incorporated on the

This means" said Mayor Schriv-
er. that Rock Island is perma-
nently on the United States Official

GARY REFUSES
TO ARBITRATE
STEEL STRIKE
Steel Magnate Declines to
Negotiate With Labor
Union Heads.

Washington, Sept. 26.-An agree
ment by the steel corporation to
arbitrate on the questions raised
by the "a unions involved in the
strike would end the walkout, John
]. Fitzpatrick told the senate in
vestigating committee late yester-
day.
New York, Sept. 26.-After being
shown an Associated Press dis
patch quoting John Fitzpatrick, di-
rector general of the steel strike,
as saying the walkout would end
Immediately if the United States
Steel corporation would arbitrate
differences, EIbert H. Gary, direct
ing head Of the corporation, de-
clared in a statement last night,
speaking for himself, that he be-
lieved the board of directors can
not negotiate or confer with Mr..
Fitzpatrick or his associates"
Breaking the silence he has
maintained since the beginning of
the strike, Mr.. Gary wrote a state
ment.
Cites Duty to Stockholders.
"The board Of directors of the
United States Steel corporation are
the representatives of nearly 150,-
600 stockholders, including from
10000 to 10000 employees" said the
statement.
I'VE are their servants and are
selected to represent and protect
their interests, and also the inter
ests of all our 25O,OOO employees,
the majority of whom, l think, are
not members of labor unions.
Moreover, l believe our corpo-
ration is under great obligations
to the general public concerning
the issues involved in the pending
strike. In these circumstances l
would not at present assume to an
swer the question propounded to
me.
Can't Arbitrate Principles.
However, l will say for myself
that questions of moral principles
cannot be arbitrated nor compro-
missed, and, in my opinion. such
questions are included in the pres
ent unfortunate struggle.
Il also think we cannot negoti-
ate or confer with Mr.. Fitzpatrick
and his associates as union labor
leaders concerning our employees,
whom these gentlemen have volun-
teered to represent"

.NOCHANCEIN
STEEL TIEUP;
ALL is QUIET
Plants Claim Men Return
Is Denied-Waukegan
Asks for Troops.

Pittsburgh, Sept. 26.-The strike
situation in the Pittsburgh district
today showed little change, with
| quiet reigning. Employers con-
tinue to report that men are re-
turning to work every day, and
Union labor leaders declare that
the walkout is becoming more ef-
fective and that additional men are
joining the strikers each day.
E. G. Grace, president of the
Bethlehem steel works, has refus-
ed to confer with the local steel
workers national committee which
wished TO present grievances of
employees. The committee has been
called to meet in Pittsburgh as
soon as possible, probably Satur-
day, to consider the matter. W.
z. Foster, secretary-treasurer of
the national committee for organ
iZing iron and steel workers, has
estimated that a strike of Bethle-
hem workers numbering between
10000 and $4,000, effective next
Monday morning. is probable.
Claims Denied.
Chicago, Sept. 26.-Despite ap-
pearances of added industry at
several stee! mills in the Chicago
district, statements of directing
heads that employees were return
ing to work in sufficient numbers
to permit operations in some de-
partments were met by denials OF
defections from the strikers ranks
by labor leaders.
Little rioting was apparent to
indicate the strike in the Chicago
district. The strikers threw stones
and other missiles at Waukegan,
and one was shot by a guard. At
South Chicago one man was re-
ported beaten.
Waukegan Asks Troops.
Waukegan, Ill, Sept. est was
reported here today that city and
county officials have asked Gov
ernor Lowden to send state troops
here to assist the local authorities
in maintaining law ard order.
About 1,S00 employees of the
American Steel and Wire company
are on strike and although there
have been no serious outbreaks and
but seven arrests since last Mon
day, the sheriff and mayor fear
that they would be unable to pre-
serve peace if the company decides
to attempt a resumption of bust
ness at its plant.
Officials declined to discuss the
subject.
There was no change in the
strike situation here today.
Workers Stoned.
Gary, Ind. Sept. 26.-Two men
were arrested here today charged
with throwing stones at an auto
mobile believed to be loaded with
strikers returning to work at the
plant of the United States Steel
corporation. None OF the occu-
pants of the car were injured.

Suing Charles Thompson.

A verdict of not guilty was re-
turned by the jury which heard the
