LABOR CHIEF TOPIC
AMONG STEEL MEN
Strike, If Any, Not Expected to
Be as Drastic as Leaders
Would Have Public Believe

New York, Sept. 13.-Naturally the
labor situation continues to be the chief
topic of discussion in the steel trade
ana tn" now action by the presidents Of
the twenty four different unions in vot-
ing to call out the members affiliated
with their organizations on September
- next has received the bulk of at
tcntion in the industry.
There is quite a difference. of opinion
thus far in the trade. Some observers
maintain that there will be n back
down on the part Of the unions before
the tin set for the walkout. while
others are equally positive that n strike
VIII actually take place, although they
admit that from present indications and
reports received they do not expect the
strike TO b" near as drastic as the
labor leaders hav" led the public to be-
liCvc.
lhoS expecting a strike n week from
next Monday say that the union rep
feSentat1vcS were actually forced to
vote Tor calling out its members because
of the many threats they had made in
the past and the numerous promises
given the men which were never full
hllcd. In other words, it is believed
that the men affiliated with the unions
actually are rlnmoring for a strike.
However, this is due to the fnct that
these men have been mislcd with re-
gard to the strength of the unions, ac-
"0rdlng to some observers. The fact
that tho labor leaders positively declined
to make public the strike vote Of moro
than Ii month ago, and tho long delay
before ordering the mon out after they
had voted in favor of doing so. are
taken as indicating weakness on the
part Of the labor organizations in the
trade.
1t must be admitted that there is n
possibility that tho strike will not take
place. The remarks credited to prCsi-
lent GompcrS are believed to fore
shadow a possible withdrawal Of the
strike call before the date set, and it
is believed likely hat the labor leaders
will make the point that President Will
son has requested no labor disturbances
until the so-caIlcd industrial conference
between workers and employers has
been held. This would be a graceful
way for tho labor leaders to step down
from tho position they have taken.
President Wilson has made no re-
quest on the officials of either the
| nitcd States Steel Corporation or any
of the independent companies for a con
%fercn"" between the arrangements and
the union committee. Of course, the
committee itself. several weeks ago.

factor Of the weed was the contract
for 200, 900 tons Of steel rails placed
by the railroad administration for the
carriers In the East. OF this tonnage
the steel corporations rail mills re-
ceived 10000 tons and the remaining
10000 tons were divided between the
Lackawanna and Bethlehem Steel Com
panies.
1t is learned that the independents
received the greater share of this BUSH
ness because the rails were for use ON
eastern roads and the mills of these in
dependents were located favorably for
deliveries at a minimum cost for ship
ments. The rails will go mainly to
roads in New England and New York
state.

Gary, Of the steel corporation, and
when this was refused an appeal was
made to the Chief Executive of this
country, but the President apparently
made no effort to bring the two forces
together.
Steel officials have made the point
right along that Il conference with the
union committee would not be repre-
sentative in any sense Of the word.
They have insisted that the unions do
not represent at most IL per cent OF the
workers in the steel plants of the
try. and a meeting with such a COM
mittec representing n minority would
not bring about good results.
In other words, they maintain that
even if n, meeting had been held any
decision that would have been reached
would have effected all the men in the
industry, although the labor representa-
tivcs would have been acting for but a
small minority of the workers. There
fore. they say, the logical thing for
Judge Gary and other steel officials to
do was to decline to meet the com
mittPc.
Reports received in the executive Of
fees Of the various steel companies in
this city would appear to indicate that
a strike in tho industry will not be
successful. Many letters have been re
Coivcd by the high officials signed by
employees in various departments as
surfing them of their loyalty to their
organizations, and unless there are in

output before the strike is supposed t,

ranging their accommodations In such
ed for the purpose.
In the first case it will probably mean
that money rates will be easy until
the question of foreign credits can be
settled, In the second that rates will
harden when Withdrawals to the in
terror begin.
The final crop report of the govern
mpnt was issued on Monday. Corn
had a good month in August and in
dictations point to a record production.
The government estimate is 2.35S. 600

there was q further decline in the

wheat production will aggregate only

summer forecast of more than 1900
OOO. 900 bushels. There were also re-
auctions in the forecasts for oats, pO-
t%utoes. tobacco and hay.
The results accruing from the gov
ernment's campaign against high prices
are still problemntical. The attorney
general states that some impression haS
been made and that the crest of the rise
may be regarded as passed.
Trade journal statistics point in tho
same direction. With the exception OF
that for August Bradstreet says thai
the September 1 index number was the

But the campaign has served to duI
the edge of demand. as Bradstreet eX
presses it, and has induced a freel

In line with expectations based on
the inherent strength displayed through
the week. From the outset good buying
power was in evidence and price gains
ranged from I TO 6 points in the in

to the rails. The immediate cause of
the advance was. of course. the rather
obvious fnct that the local and state
government in Boston had by their firm
stand broken the disgraccful police

and its apparent completeness made

Money Outlook Brighter

Frightening thoughts with respect to
the money outlook were in evidence.
There is less certainty among bankers
that there will be tight money through
the balance of the year. Everything de-
ponds. of course. on how and when
the peace controversy shall be adjusted,
and to what extent the crop moving
will require New York funds.
The scope of foreign credits and i'm
petus to domestic industrial financing
are bound up in the ratification of the
peace treaty. There can be no assured
basis for estimating the demands of
either until the Senate takes final ac-
ton.
That the burden Of government
financing will sit less heavily on bank
ers' shoulders than heretofore seems
certain. Judging from. the highly salts
factory statement of the treasury's con-
dition issued by Secretary Glass. Fort
nightly offerings of certificates of in
d]pbtcdrcss have been discontinued at
least until the middle of October. In
stead two offerings of tax certificates
have been announced of longer maturity.
one maturing March 10. 1920. and an
other September -. 1920. at Az and
Az per cent. respectively. If fortnight
ly offerings are resumed it is stated that
the amounts will be not more than
$3.50, 900 900 instead Of $500 900 600.
As for crop moving requirements it
is a question whether they will not be
materially less than ANTICIPATED. The
extent to which interior banks are put
ting out money at this center. even to
four and six months. appears TO indi-
,ate the probability.
1t may be presumed that western
bankers are the best judges of the
amounts grain moving will call for
and if they are disDoscd to increase their
loans here. the circumstance points to
ono of two things; either that sum
can be released which had been held
in reserve for crop financing because of
revised ideas as to the size of the crops.
! or that they see the possibility of ar
