 STAND ON STEEL
 STRIKE MAI TER
Tells Probe Committe He Will Refuse Compromise Settlement Declines to Meet Strikers Represen- tatives - Public Interest Paramount in Refusal
[RspubIIcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2-Standing sauarely on his assertion that the issue in the pending steel strike throughout the steel industry is the open shop Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel cor poration. completed his testimony to- day before the senate labor committee investigating the steel controversy.
 During coiloquy with committee members particularly Senator Walsh, democrat of Massachusetts. Judge Gary flatly declared that he could not now consider a compromise or arbitration or meet with strikers representatives.
 The senate by resolution approved the committees plan to carry it's inves tigation to Pittsburg and other steel centers after hearing, tomorrow, Will liam z. Foster, secretary of the strikers committee, and perhaps one or two other leaders on that side of the con troversy.
 I'm sorry I can't take the position that members of this committee dc" Judge Gary said, in explaining his re- fusal to arbitrate the issue. T consider the public's interest as paramount in the refusal. If the strike is left to fol- low it's inevitable course, if certain vicious element in this country gets no encouragement to continue calling strikes of this kind, the situation will be helpful in preventing industrial dis turbances of the kind everywhere in the country
 Government intervention, he said, should be confined to maintaining peace and order which he added was the only present need in the situation, He told the committee that he recog- nized concentrated capital had power to do more or less harm. and said he personally favored strict federal con- trol, even to licensing and commission supervision of industrial conditions, but that the present condition de- manded no such remedies. Labor like wise he said, needed control but greatest control from the power he said lay in enlightening public senti- ment.
 In a sharp exchange between the witness and Senator Walsh, Judge Gary refused to say his action in re- fusing to meet union leaders indicated a permanent policy. His course, he explained would be directed in every situation toward the maintenance of the open shop and the present refusal seemed to him best calculated to bring about that end
 When Judge Gary concluded, Chair dent of the Amalgamated Union Steel and Tin Workers. to the stand. but his testimony was cut short by necessity for early adjournment. Tighe will be recalled tomorrow.

Nine Clauses Yet
 To Be Voted Are Most Important

WASHINGTON. oct At last reaching the stage of action in it's consideration of the peace treaty. the senate swept aside in quick succession today 36 of the 45 amendments which had been written into the document by the foreign relations committee.
 The smallest majority recorded against ay of the committee proposals was 15, and the largest was 2S. An of the amendments considered had been introduced by Senator Fall re- publican, New Mexico, and were de- signed to curtail American patricipa- ton in European settlements resulting from the war.
 Of the nine amendments yet to be acted on, six relate to the financing section. two propose to eqgalize voting power in the league of nations and one would limit American representation on the separations commission. In the absence of a definite agreement for disposition of these proposals, senate leaders thought tonight that the debate might run on for several days before another roll call is taken.
 Democrats Stand Solid.
 Throughout the days voting. the democrats presented a solid front against the amendments except for Senators Gore of Oklahoma and Thomas of Colorado. Seventeen re- publicans. on the other hand lined up against the first committee proposal to be considered and most of them stood with. the democrats on all suc- ceeding roll calls, Many of them an- nouneed they were for reservations which they believed would cover the same ground without endangering the treaty.
 At adjournment the treaty advo- cates declared themselves elated at the days work and the opposition leaders also were claiming victory on the showing made for their amendments 1 They mustered a maximum strength of l 31, which, with absentees, would be sufficient, they declared, to insure the ] treaty's defeat unless satisfactory | qualifications are accepted. Thirty | three negative votes on the final roll ! call, they pointed out, would make i'm ! possible the two third majority neces sary for ratification

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Aug. 5, 1919.
The height of the Connecticut Valley
tobacco harvest should be reached
not mean that half of the New England
crop, or anything approaching that part
of it, will be under cover by the mid
die Of August, but is does mean that
maximum harvesting operations will
have been attained by that time, and
that there will be no let-up until the
last leaf is in the barns.
The term t'bumper crop" is being
heard on all sides, but some reserva-
tions are still in order. Certain it is,
however, that crop remarkably free
from blemish is being harvested and
that the conditions under which it has
ripened should insure quality. Further
showers last week, while not needed,
did no harm and may possibly benefit
late-set tobacco in case of scant rain
fall hereafter.
Hail damage thus far is practically
unknown. A heavy wind storm last
week laid considerable tobacco fiat in
the Bloomfield district and kept grow
ers on the Jump the rest of the day
Strengthening the plants.
In some other years the bulk of the
New England crop has been bought by
the end of the first week in August.
This season actual sales have been few
and far between. Notwithstanding the
spread of the organization movement
among growers, it is doubtful if the
various associations control majority
acreage of the new crop.

Harvesting of some of the early set

promising of an abundant yield, prac-
tically free from damage of any kind.
A great deal of topping has been fin
ished and in the next two weeks there
will be work enough for all in shedding
the crop.
Reports of hail in Vernon county and
the south half of the town of Porter in
Rock county have been received, but
as far as can be learned the damage is
slight. There have been rumors that
buying in Vernon county had COM
menced but as far as can be learned
there is no foundation for such reports.
Packers are preparing to sample the
1918 packings and during September a
considerable portion of this work will
be done. One firm reports having sam
pied $50 case lot of bulk sweat and
that the samples drawn show a nearly
sound and perfect condition.

With the spread of strike epidemic in
the cigar manufacturing industry to the
Middle West and Southeastern Sec
tions, Water Street leaf merchants are
beginning to experience the first pro-
nounced effects of the natural reaction
upon the domestic cigar leaf market,
in perceptible slowing-up of demand.
Notwithstanding this fact, however,
much interest is being manifested in
the samples of new Broadleaf and the
present indications are that in spite of
the spreading strike troubles all avail
able stocks Of Broadleaf will be asorb-
ed almost as quickly as they come into
the market On the whole it cannot be
said, however, that packers are greatly
exercised over the conditions created
by existing labor conditions, which they
feel confident must soon come to an
end. At its worst, the present tie-up
of the industry can result, they state,
in nothing more serious than an alb
normal extension of the buying period.
This probability the packers are already
accepting with philosophical calm. =

LANCASTER, PA, Aug. 6, 191!

LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. 6, 1919.
Growers, packers and manufacturers
are much concerned over the outlook
of the crop now growing in Lancaster
county. That the unfavorable weather
conditions have hurt the tobacco, there
is no room for doubling. But, to what
extent is question. A good deal,
when the wet spell was succeeded by
more favorable weather, had very
drowned out appearance, and lot OF 1T
had calico look. While the plants
show some harmful effects, it is too
soon to tell whether the average quail
ity of the plants has been seriously i'm
paired. All that can be hoped for is
that a large percentage of the crop
has escaped serious damage.
Some of the growers are trying to
get what comfort they may out of the
situation in the belief that large
amount of crop damage would In the
end contribute increased prices for the
unharmed and for the 1913 tobacco still
held by the growers. The government
has placed an estimate of a ten per
cent reduction in acreage, as compared
to that of 1918, and if this is correct,
which most of our packers believe is
not, as they place the reduction at five
per cent, then this county's 1919 crop
will be short one. Some optomlsts
aver that the tobacco that looks so bad
now will come around all right, as it is
so long until cutting time that 1T Will
have chance to grow out OF It's pres
ent damaged condition.
In the several score of years that
Lancaster has been tobacco growing
district it probably never until 1918
produced crop that had not all been
sold before the middle of summer. 1t
net sold on the field or in the shed, the
crop was sold long before the. winter
was over, but the local packers are
even vet picking up unsold crops. and
