Some Action to Avert Strike
on September ~
TWO AVENUES ARE OPEN
BY the Associated Press

Washington, Sept. II With a strike
of organized steel workers called to take
effect September % in disregard of
President Wilson's request that the
unions postpone action pending the
forthcoming industrial conference, spec
ulation rs to the next development in
the situation Centered today on the
possibility Of the President again TAX

reconsideration of the strike order by
union officials or to cndcavor to secure
n hearing for the unions by the United
States Steel Corporations
The strike was called yesterday by
the executive council of the twenty four
after they had telegraphed President
Wilson for more definite statement"

ference with steel corporation officials,
and the President. in reply, had wired
n request that the union accept post

As to the probable extent of the
strike, union officials refused to indulge
in speculation, but they branded as

Judge Gary Of the steel corporation that
not more than 10 per cent of the steel
workers were organized. Officials
claimed that in some places the work

All three proposals have been recon

4 SEE LABOR CRISIS
Republicans and Democrats
/ Confer on Unionization Of
i d Police Forces
AWAIT WILSON'S VIEW S
Bv q stoT Correspondent

Washington. Sept. II 11.-Believing that
\ serious crisis has been reached in
Americas international and domestic
affairs, Republican and Democratic
leaders in the Senate today went across
to the cloakroom of the House and
there, hidden from the eyes of the pub
lie and newspaper men, discussed the
situation with leaders of both parties
in the House TO see If some plan could
be put through to prevent unfortunate
consequences.
The peace treaty and the recently de-
veloped attitude of labor, particularly
the effort to unionize the police forces
of the big cities, were the principal
topics discussed. The conference fol.
lowed one held yesterday which was not
so well attended and did not consider
the questions so seriously as that of
today. The conference developed these
important facts:
First. That some Of the Democrats in
the Senate are as angry as the Rcpub-
licans over President Wilson's harsh
criticism of the Senate in his speeches
In the West.
Second. The leaders Of both part jos
In the Senate and House fear the CON
sequences of the attitude Of organized
labor, both for the welfare of labor and
the country at large, and are trying to
rame some measures to meet the crisis
Wilson's Attitude is Puzzle
Congressional leaders agree that The
national situation is such that political
party advantage should be cast aside
It, was decided that the Republicans
and Democrats of the Senate and
House should co ordinate In an attcn,pt
TO solve the problems and that neither
party would attempt to gain political
advantage from any action taken or
anything that might result from the
conferences.
.tAtter two hours discussion the con
ference broke up with the best of feel
ing, as it did yesterday without any.
thing definite being agreed to because
the Democrats could not give assurance
TO- the Republicans, who are in con.
trQl in the Senate and House. that
President Wilson would not veto any
action taken by Congress or make 10 e
ntlcal capital out Of it. Another meet =
ing will be held tomorrow.
Among those in the conferences wore
Senators Lodge and Smoot. Republf-
cans; Simons and Thomas, Democrats.
and Congressman Mondell. Republican,

cratic floor leader, and Champ Clark,
former Speaker and present floor leader.

Fear Labor Is Going Too Far
Congressman who have ardently sup
ported labor for many years agreed
with opponents of organized labor that
the movement is going a little too far,
and acquiesced in a plan for checking
,.orn;ra o,d dntorron.
The friends of labor in Congress, it
was said. fear turn of public senti-
ment against labor, such as swept the
country against organized capital com
menciug twelve years ago. Unless the
attitude of labor is modified, the con
ference agreed, public feeling may be-
come aroused against all labor union
ism, in which case it might be lmpos-
sible to obtain any legislative or ad-
ministrative action favorable to labor
for many years.
