Adjourns Until Tuesday.

After an hours recess today, the
national industrial conference de-
cided to adjourn until next Tuesday.
Meantime the general committee of
| fifteen will consider the proposals
presented by the three groups-capi-
tal labor and the public.
Suggestion from the public group
that the chairmen of the three groups
be constituted a committee to con-
slider proposals received from citizens
over the country was strongly dis
approved by the labor representa-
tives who insisted upon rigid enforce
ment of the rules requiring that all
matters considered be approved by
the group presenting them.
In speaking against the suggestion,
Samuel Gompers, chairman of the la
Dor group, attacked "some portions"
of the press for what he characterized
as is extremely unfair attitude to-
ward labor in the conference.
Labor has from the very start"
said Mr.. Gompers, "contended for
open discussions, so the whole world
may know what, this conference is
doing. The world must recognize
that men of labor hold as RESPONSE
BILE positions as men in any other
walk of life today"
Most of the delegates in the capital
and public groups planned to return
to their homes today for the week
end. The public group held brief
meeting after this mornings session
and a majority of the labor delegates
attended a meeting of the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor later in the day.

Washington, Oct. 10.-U. n. 81
The conference may or may not ac-
complish industrial peace, but it al
ready has established social peace.
The members of the conference sit
at the same table, literally, regardless
of groups.
At a small table in ths beautiful
annex of the pan American union sat
Judge Ebert II. Gary, head of the
United States Steel corporation. He
munched a delicate bit of French pas
try with evident relish. Across from
him, nibbling a chocolate eclair, sat
Michael Tighe, president of the Anal
gamated Association of Tin, Iron and
Steel Workers, whose members are
engaged in bitterly lighting Mr.. Gary
in the present steel strike~ The judge
called him mike" and they told each
other funny stories of the steel days
of long ago. Gavin McNabb, of San
Francisco, was the only other occu-
pant of the table.
While Gary and Tighe exchanged
"reminiscences. John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., and Frank Morrison, secretary of
the American Federation of Labor,

SURPRISED BUT
NOT ALARMED
Two Shots Fired Near Sem
ators MCKeIIar and Kenyon
at Pittsburgh.
FIRED FROM STREET CAR

Pittsburgh, Pa, Oct. 10.-Just as
Senators Kenyon and Mcclellan, of
the steel strike investigating com
mittee, stepped from an automobile
at the gates of the Homestead Steel
works today two shots were fired
from a passing street car. The sena-
tors were rushed into the Offices OF
the plant, while the state constabu-
larry rushed the car and arrested a
number of foreigners. No one was
hurt by the shooting.
Senators Phipps and Sterling ar
rived at the plant several minutes
earlier.
The shots were not fired at the
senators, it was said, but were aimed
in an opposite direction. The probers
apparently were surprised, but they
did not show any signs of alarm.
The state constabulary were called
to stop a fight in a foreigners board
ing house in Clarion today when
several of the men said they would
return to work. Shots were fred
and knives were drawn during the
melee. One man, Andrew Chekok,
was slightly wounded by bullet and
three others were cut and bruised in
the melee. A number of the men
were arrested.
Offers to Plant Bombs.
Alleged to have made offers to plant
bombs in the steel plants in this dis
trict, John Andrews, 35, of Wells
burg, w. Va, and another man, whose
name the police refuse to divulge,
were locked UP in the county Jail to-
day on charges made by labor lead
ers. A third arrest is expected.
According to the strike leaders, the
men came to them and for a sum of
money said they would blow up any
plant named. They claimed to have
dynamite and other explosives in
their possession. The offer was re-
jected and the police were notified.
The authorities believe the suspects
may belong to the group of radicals
who were driven out of Weirton, w.
Va, early this week.
There was almost reign of terror
In Donora last night. Two men were
shot and attempts were made to burn
the homes of loyal employees. Papers
were piled up and set on fire at two
houses. Little damage resulted. Co
Iumbus Beall, one of the negroes
who was attacked in yesterdays riot
ut Donora, was shot, but not seriously
hurt, when attacked later. Marie
Steele. an employe in one of the steel
offices, was attacked by
several foreigners and injured. Four
workers leaving one of the plants
vas attacked by fifty mena During
he fight Kike Kellych was shot. The
state police made sixteen arrests.

PR0BERS TALK IN
PERSON WITH STRIKERS
LAUGH TURNED ON SEN
ATOR M'KELLAR.
One Striker Tells Committee
That His Life Had Been
Threatened,

Pittsburgh, Oct. 10.--Going right
into the heart of the, steel districts
and talking personally with the off,
Gals, workmensand strikers, the four
members of the senate committee in
veytfgating the strike, who came to
Pittsburgh today, received at first
hand the true story Of the estimation.
The party, which was composed OF
Chairman Kenyon and Senators
Phipps. Sterling and McKellar, made
Homestead their first stop. Home
stead is the name of the United
States Steel corporations largest
plant, and the party had hardly started
on their work when they became ac-
duainted with strike conditions. Two
shots, fired during an argument of
foreigners on a street car, rang out
as Senators Kenyon and McKellar
stepped from their automobile. The
state constabulary quickly surrounded
the car an arrested three men. There
was considerable commotion, but the
senatons paid little notice to the Incl
dent.
Newspaper men were not allowed
to accompany the party as it went
through the big steel plants.
On their return to the street, the
senators separated into pairs and
went into the homes of strikers.
George Z. Schiller, a striker ques-
TONED by Senator Mcclellan. said he
had been in the country five Years,
during which time he had worked in
the Homestead plant.
Asked why he was on strike, Schif-
fer said he was getting only As cents
an hour and that was not enough to
h hie, fgVD 90 H.
worked ten hours a day and received
pay for eleven hours.
When he was sick Schiller said the
company refused to do anything for
him.
S. Bartek, born in the United
States, of Slavish parents said he re-
ceived 4S cents an hour as a switch
man. He often worked 10, IL and IA
hours without overtime.
Steve Behannock. an unnaturalized
striker, had a laugh on Senator Nc
Kellar when the latter asked If the
union was not allowed to hold meet
ings.
mo" replied Behannock, "they do
not allow more than three persons
to Congregate in one place. You had
better be careful. or the police will
be around in few minutes and ar
rest all of u.s."
Andy Bulko said he got AZ cents an
hour "and worked like mule"
Another striker told Senator Ken
yon that his life had been threatened
if he did not remain home from work
and join the strikers. The senator
tried to get a statement from the
mans wife, but she was too ill to be
seen.
After the party had finished with
Homestead they proceeded to Du-
quesne. Clarion. where there was
rioting this morning, McKeesport,
Rankin and Braddock will also be
visited this afternoon.

lice w. l.. Baker was compiling Fri

early date a systematic round up of
all prostitutes will be made by the
department, who will either be given
sentences. in the workhouse or al
lowed to leave the city,
Commissioner Heron, in making
this announcement Friday, said that
the campaign against loose women
was to be thorough in every respect
and there would be no compromis-
ing. THE department will round up
the entire lot" he said, "and they
will either be sent to the workhouse
or told to leave town."
This action of the police depart
ment comes as a result of the recent
agitation on the part of Red Cross
and army officials at Fort Oglethorpe
to rid the city of prostitutes. A great
many men at the post are infected
with venereal diseases, it is said, and
SO great Is the number that much
alarm Is felt among authorities there.
Post Percentage 40?
In recent statement Brig. Gen.
W. S. Scott is credited with having
declared that only per cent. of the
enlisted personnel at the post were
infected. DR.. T. S. McCallie, chair
man of the local Red Cross organza-
tion, in a letter sent out recently to
members of the organization and
others interested in it's welfare, de-
clared that venereal diseases are de-
cidedly on the increase at the post,
running about 40 per cent, or, to be
exact, 38.4 per cent. All men de-
clared, it was said, that they were
infected in various hotels of the city.
Other members of the city commits
sion are of the same opinion as COM

standing be given to them that they
either leave the city or go to the
workhouse. when they come to
know that they will have to serve a
term in the workhouse, they will
stay out of the city," the commits
sioner declared.
Il favor this plan," Mr.. Bass con-
tinued, because 1 do not think we
should be called on to furnish money

We have given money for this and
that thing until the public pretty well

of the city. There is only one way
to handle the situation, put them in
the workhouse or make them leave
town. Still, it is true, we would be
forcing them on some other COM

would take the same view of the
matter we would soon not have so

Race in Doubt.

New York, Oct. 10.-By a spectacu-
lar burst of speed Capt. Lowell II.
Smith today took the lead in the
great transcontinantal air race, with
Lieut.. B. w Maynard, westbound
hier. second. Smith, flying east, ar
rived at Rock Island, ILL.,, at 10:45
a. M, and it was believed If he main
tained his schedule he might arrive
In Cleveland, o. late this afternoon,
and Mlneola, N. Y, tomorrow. A
damaged radiator held Maynard at
Cheyenne, Wyo., during the morning
after officials at Washington had de-
cided not to bar him from the con-
tests for flying after sunset Thurs
day evening. He is expected to start
west soon.
The death list was brought up to
four by the crash of eastbound ma
chine No. SO. a Deer mountain in
Wyoming, when Lieut.. E. V. Wales
was killed and Second Lieut.. William
Goldsborough was injured.
The American Flying club an
nounced this afternoon that only
thirty-three airplanes were left in
the race. Snowstorms over the
Wyoming mountains has interfered
with flying in that region.
Interest today centered in the race
between Lieut.. B. w. Maynard, "the
flying parson," en- route from Mineola,
N. Y. to San Francisco, and Capt.
Lowell II. Smith and Lieut.. f. C.
Kiel. who are headed for Mineola
from the Pacific coast, for the honor
of winning the first half of the race.
Lieut. kiel arrived at Rock Island
from the west at 12:22 p. M, over
taking Capt. Smith, who had been
leading all the way from San Fran
cisco. The arrival OF Kiel leaves the
lead of the eastward race in doubt.
