CARY REFUSES
AUDIENCE TO
LABOR HEAD S
Chairman of U. S. Steel Cor.
poration Won't Discuss
Plans to Avert Strike of
100000 Employees.

New York, Aug. 26.-Elbert H.
GarW chairman of the board of the
United States Steel corporation, de-
clined late Tuesday to meet person.
ally John Fitzpatrick and other rep
resentatives of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, who constitute
committee appointed to organize
the workers in the iron and steel
industry.
Mr.. Gary sent word to the COM
mittee that if it had any statement
it wished to make it should be re-
duced to writing and then it would
be considered by the corporation.
Gary's Statement.
Mr.. Gary's statement follows:
when informed by my secretary
that a committee of a labor organi-
zation, consisting of John Fltzpat-
rick, William Z. Foster and D. J.
Davis, had requested to see me, |
sent word to them through my sec
retary that I did not care to have
personal interview, but if they had
any statement to make and would
reduce, the same to written letter
it would be received and considered
by our officials, who would then, de-
termine what, if any, answer to
make. Nothing further has passed
between us.
"I think it is better for those gen.
tfemen and for me to leave no
chance for misunderstanding in re-
gard to what has been and shall be
said. I have intended no personal
discourtesy."
First Development.
The refusal of Mr.. Gary to see
the committee was the first definite
development here in the controversy
which may result in a strike OF
100000 workers to enforce union
recognition and better working con-
ditions.
The efforts to arrange confer
ence with Mr.. Gary came few
hours after the hurried return from
Europe of Samuel Gompers, who
announced before he sailed that his
presence home was more imperative
than abroad. 1t had been expected
he would attend the conference with
Mr.. Gary if one were arranged. He
made no comment on his return on
the situation in the iron and steel
industry.
The committee headed by Mr..
Fitzpatrick has been authorized to
call strike August 80 if it fails to
obtain the concessions desired.

SAN FRANCISCO
TRAINS TIED'UP
DUE TO STRIKE
Hines Issues Appeal to Broth
erhood Heads to Go
Back to Work.

San Francisco, Aug. 26.-Railroad
administration officials announced
tonight that as result of the strike
of the yardmen in Oakland and San
Francisco, no trains would be moved
from San Francisco Wednesday un-
less conditions changed.
Director General Hines of the
railroad administration has appealed
to members of the four railroad
brotherhoods, whose strike virtually
has paralyzed steam transportation
in southern California, to return to
work. The appeal was made in a
statement given out here, in which
the director general declared the
government was powerless to act in
the dispute between the Pacific cleo
tric lines and their employees, out of
which the strike of steam employees
grew.
Individual strikers, as they gath
cred for a meeting Tuesday night,
declared they had left their work in
sympathy with the striking EN-
ployes of the Pacific Electric COM
pany at Los Angeles, and that their
action was taken without the sane
ton of the international brotherhood
officials. They said more than 1000
men in the San Francisco yards had
quit work.
Three Trains Fail to Leave.
Oakland, Cal, Aug. 26.-Three
Southern Pacific trains failed to
leave Oakland pier Tuesday night
on account of the yardmen's strike.
They were bound for northern and
eastern points. Southern Pacific Of
fcials said they did not know
whether any steam trains would be
moved from the pier Wednesday al
though electric suburban trains
would continue to operate.
Still Being Held.
Albuquerque, N. NJ, Aug. 26.-
The Santa Fe's California limited
train No. 3, which arrived here at
noon Tuesday from the east was
still being held here at late night
hour due to the strike in California
and other places west OF mere. NO.
g. which left here at 2:30 a. m, was
tied up at Winslow, Ariz., in the
afternoon. No information was OBJ
tainable as to when the trains would

from the west Tuesday. This was
No. 2, which left San Francisco
Sunday night. No train has reached
here. from Los Angeles since Sum-
day night. Two stub trains are be-
ing sent east from here.
No Service at All.
Advices from Williams, Ariz., are
to the effect that there was no train
service into or out of that point ex-
cept on the Santa Fe's Grand Can
yon branch.
Many tourists are tied up, both at
Williams and the Grand CANYON.
The Williams Electric light plant
which burns oil in its boilers, has
only a l0-days' supply of fuel on
hand and will have to close down

John S. Brady Is Wearing Old
Clothes in Endeavor to AS
sist in Reducing High Cost
of Living, He Declares.
BELIEVES SITUATION
WILL REGULATE ITSELF
Consumer Must Stop Buying
Unless Absolutely Necessary
and End Craze to Buy
Everything in Sight.

John 5. Brady, vice president Of
McCord-Brady company. wholesale
grocers, testified yesterday before
state officials holding a high cost of
living Investigation in the court
house that one of the ways in which
he is personally fighting prices is by
wearing his old suit of clothes and
shoes.
"My tailor asked SIPS for a new
suit of clothes, and l told him I
would wear this $50 suit another
season. My shoe dealer asked IL
for new pair of shoes and l told
him that l would wear these $6
shoes for while longer" Mr.. Brady
said.
Have you any suggestions or
remedies, or can you tell US when
this high cost of living will end?"
Attorney Munger asked the witness.
Can't Force Change.
"This situation will regulate it.
SELF" he replied, when the supply is
equal to. the demand. We can't
force any sudden change. If the
cons + would stop buying unless
absoiu ely necessary high prices
would be reduced. If women would
stop buying $1S shoes, shoes would
be cheaper. There is craze to buy
everything in sight and the manu-
facturers cannot supply the demand.
Ny impression is that if the con-
sumer would stop buying Injuries
the situation would tend to right
itself.
There seems to be no difficulty in
selling these high-priced lines of
goods. Never in the history of the
cigar business has there been such a
demand for high-priced goods. This
demand for expensive cigars extends
even into the rural communities.
The day of the Scent cigar seems to
have gone"
He referred in connection with
food products to general demand

Farmers Particular, Too.
In the matter of foodstuffs and
other commodities he stated that
the farmers are just as particular

goods?" the examining attorney
asked.

piled.
Blames Producer.
He explained that the great de-
mand for high-priced goods was
markedly increased after the war,
and he insisted that the higher prof

are dealing in clothes and shoes.
During a discussion of the profits
on foodstuffs he expressed his be-

France and Italy are feeling the
departure of the American soldiers
very badly. Paris and Rome have
lost their wartime look of cosmo-
politan cities. They are now very
French and very Italian. But with
the departure of Our soldiers the
American dollars have also disap-
peared.
New Plans Are Laid.
Therefore, Paris and Rome are
planning to replace the soldiers with
civilians, who, it is expected, will be
even more generous than the khaki
clad boys.
Money is needed badly, for neither
the Italians nor the French will pay
the present prices. So Americans
are wanted, and the richer the bet

All you really need is a lot of

Americans have all the money in the
world and they must be encouraged
