The senate committee on education
and labor began an inquiry into the
strike and the first witness was John
Fitzpatrick, chairman of the commit
tee on organization of the steel work
ers and real leader Of the strike. It
was announced that Mr.. Gary would
appear before the committee later to
present the case for the employers.
Fitzpatrick admitted to the commit
from the steel workers for unioniZa-
ton. but that the Federation Of Labor
considered it necessary because the
steel industry was bad spot" in the
industrial situation and that the con-
ditions prevailing in II led other large
employers TO consider imposing sim
liar conditions on their employees. He
told at length of the vain efforts to in
duce Mr.. Gary TO confer with his com
mittee. and said that even If the steel
corporation should now consent to
meet the union representatives IL
would be too late to stop the strike,
as the men 'are going to demand de-
cent justice of the United States gov
eminent"
However. Fitzpatrick said, the
unions would call off the strike IL the
steel corporation would agree to sub

Italy was in the midst of tremen-
dous crisis, brought on directly by the
seizure of Fiume by D'Annunzio and
blamed by the Italians themselves on
the great powers which refused to car
~ out al the promises in the treaty
of London. Foreign Minister Tittoni
was compelled to resign, and the peace
conference in Paris was deeply con-
cerned by the situation. The Italian
government asked the allies to GUST
D'Annunzio and his followers, but at
this writing nothing in that line had
been started. The poet-sOldier was
still defiant and his forces were in
creasing in strength. Other Italian
leaders, II was reported, were follow
ing his example and making raids on

the Dalmatian coast which have been

Indications That Union Labor
May Get the Worst of the
Great Steel Strike.

Treaty Contest-D'Annunzio's
Raid Precipitates Crisis

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Developments of the week in the
great strike of steel workers indicated
that this, perhaps the severest test to
which union labor in America ever has
subjected itself, would result adverse
~ to the unions.
At the beginning many thousands of
men in the United States Steel corpOr-
atoms numerous plants scattered
throughout the country quit work, re-
CARELESS of whether or not they were
members of the unions. W. u. Foster,
general organizer. claimed that 342,-
600 had gone out before the week was
half over. This was not directly dis
puted by the corporation officials, but
they declared the tide already had
turned and that the men were coming
back TO the mills in large numbers
seeking their old jobs. A great many
of the plants were closed down ut the
beginning of the week, but in some of
the districts these were being reopened
gradually with increasing forces of
workers. In the Pittsburgh district
the employers asserted they were in
creasing production in all the impor-
tant plants; the Gary and Indiana
Harbor mills resumed partial opera
ton; the strikers at Canton, O., and
Birmingham, returned to work. On
the other hand there was virtually a
complete tie-up in the Mahonlng val
ley, the Colorado district and at other
points.
Though the union officials had de-
clared the strike would be conducted
without violence on the part of the
men, rioting started promptly in some
regions, especially in Pennsylvania.
Several deaths and many injuries re-
suited. The state constabulary got
into action promptly and effectively,
breaking up all assemblages and in
general restoring order. Sabotage was
In evidence in various plants.
The strike leaders were earnestly
endeavoring to expand the strike into
a walkout OF allied crafts, which in
clude the men in % unions. On the
Great Lakes it appeared likely the sen
men and marine firemen who trans
port iron ore would go out, and switch
men on railroads that especially serve
steel plants were reported to be ready
to quit.

Officials Of the state department at
Washington admit that the president
has agreed with the allies on plan
TO give support TO Kolchak and Dcni-
kline in their fight against the bolshe-
wiki. The United States Ia to supply
the former with the things he needs,
and Great Britain and France will
take care of the latter. Presumably
this arrangement means that the
American troops now in Siberia Will
not be brought back for some time.
Both these Russian leaders have been
scoring considerable success against
the bolsheviki lately and II may be
the recognition of the Omsk govern
ment by the allied powers will not be
much longer delayed.
The bolshevist government, while
willing to make peace with the Bal
tic states, is laying its plans to conquer
the rest of It's foes. Trotzky, speak
ing recently in Petrograd. said his ar
mics would continue their methods or
beating their enemy singly taking Kol-
chalk first and then Denikine. IF Fin
land wants war" he said, "it Will be
necessary to begin against her cam
paign Of determination such as hither-
to has been unknown to history"

speaking for himself, he believed the
board of directors could not negotiate
with Fitzpatrick and his associates MS
union labor leaders and that questions
of moral principles, such as are in
volved in this struggle cannot be ar
bitrated nor compromised.
Samuel Gompers, testifying before
the senate interstate commerce com
mittee, gave the steel strike his APP
proval though he said he woSld have
preferred to have postponed IL until
after the industrial conference in Oc-
tober. He laid all the blame for the
strike on Mr.. Gary for his refusal to
deal win the union chiefs. As Il mat
ter of plain fact, the whole contest
hinges on the question of the open or
the closed shop and its outcome will
go far to determine the power and
right of the unions to organize indus
tries that have not asked such action
and to enforce their closed shop pol
Icy everywhere.

The resentment of the public which
of course is always the goat" in in
dustrial disputes, is being reflected
in congress. Senator Thomas of Colo
RADIO leads the fight in the upper house
against tyranny by union labor, and
last week introduced resolution con-
demning the closed shop principle as
un-American and calling for the repu-
diation by congress of the special i'm
munity 1t has granted to labor unions
from prosecution for violation of the
antitrust laws. In the lower house
Representative Cooper, who is from
the Youngstown district and is him
self a union labor man, uttered warn
ing against the danger of organized
labor being misled by such a "revolu-
tionary leader" as William u. Foster,
secretary of the steel workers COM
mittee. Foster is the author of book
on syndicalism and secretary of the
Syndicalist League Of North America
and in his book defends the syndlcal-
list methods Of violence, sabotage and
lawlessness to win strikes. Congress
ney General Palmer If Foster could
not be prosecuted in connection with
deaths and injuries caused since the
steel strike began, but Mr.. Palmer said
he thought any such action should be
brought by the various states rather
than by the federal government. Mr..
Gompers and other conservative" UNI
ion labor leaders must enjoy their
close relation with Foster and his like.
If anyone supposed President Will
son would compromise with the reser-
vationists concerning the peace treaty.
he seemingly was mistaken. The pres
ident. on his way back from the Pacific
coast, delivered himself Of speeches
that showed his spirit was, If possible.
more uncompromising than ever, and
he rather plainly intimated that If the
pact were not ratified as it stands he
would pigeonhole 1t for the present
and make 1t the issue Of next years
presidential campaign. To his audi
ence in Cheyenne he said IL the pro-
posed reservation to article ten were
ny the Stllulc nt MOulN
gard 1t as rejection of the whole trea-
~. and that IL would mean the nego-
tiation of separate peace with Ger
many, which would turn the whole
world against us. He predicted that
without the League of Nations COW
enant. including article ten unchanged.
the world would be plunged into war
far more horrible than the conflict just
ended.
Mr.. Wilson also continued TO defend
the arrangement by which the Brit
ish empire has six votes to one for the
United States in the league assembly.
The proposed amendment to this ar
ticle was causing both sides in the
senate considerable worry, and they
lodged a vote on II for the time being.
The proponents OF the covenant want
ed to walt until after the president re-
turned in the hope that he might be
able to bring some pressure to bear.

found to avoid the direct issue.
The French chamber of deputies,
in which the government was pressing
for ratification of the treaty, was much
exercised by the hostile attitude of
the American senate and the govern
ment was called on for explanations.
Tardleu said he was satisfied the SEN
ate would ratify the treaty, and Pichon
said even without the United States
the League of Nations could exist, le-
gally speaking. Barthou replied that
France wanted political, not legal
guarantees. Premier Clemenceau then
said:
'ShOuld the United States reject
the League Of Nations, two treaties Of
alliance between France and Great
Britain and France and the United
States exist. Nevertheless It was pre-
cisely because we felt that the League
Of Nations was an insufficient guaran-
tee for some years to come that these
treaties were drawn up. The League
Of Nations for the present has nothing
to do with the o-British-Ameri-
can treaties, which constitute sufIi-
cient guarantees for France"

Mr. Gompers also appeared before
the senate committee on the District
Of Columbia, where he maintained the
right of policemen to organize, but
said they should not so on strike. "Pri-
vate employees" he said, "can quit
work, while policemen have no such
recourse" At the same time he de-
Tended the policemen of Boston by
asserting that the trouble there was
not really strike but lockout. AS
for the constabuary of Pennsylvania,
he declared the events of recent days
have proved they are nothing but Cos
sacks, and they would not be admitted
to the Federation of Labor.

of their strength. The mild reserva-

found to avoid the direct issue.

Within this new state the population will
be overwhelmingly Polish; the possibilities
OF economic expansion, with the inclusion
OF the mineral districts of Silesia and the
restoration of the old manufacturing CEN
tres of Lodg and Warsaw, are definite.

of Russia before the war; the new Poland
may easily possess itself of the Russian
market to the exclusion of the Germans.
who dreamed to dominate stricken Slav-
dom at the end of the present war and ex-
pressed their purpose at Brest-Litovsk.
All is, however, conditioned upon the
erection of real Polish state Compro-
misses which sacrifice the future will easily
spoil the whole and leave Poland once
more a prey to the cupidity of surrounding
nations. A strong Poland will be q guar
antee of the exclusion of Germany from
Russia; it will be a bulwark behind which
Russia can rise again, and it will remove
from German control the last of the sub
ject nationalites and provinces for the
possession of which Prussia and Germany
have dragged Europe through two centu-
ries of war.
The destruction of Poland was one of the
most sordid crimes in all history. For it
there other defence than that of
the German doctrine of force. Poland was

hoping to avoid new attacks from his old
enemies by Turing them into project to

At the Congress of Vienna Alexander of
Russia long nourishcd the noble idea of re-
storing Poland under Russian protection
While he held to the idea there was hope
for Poland. When he surrendered it
Poland was lost, although all the SOW
ereigns at Vienna signed solemn compact
agreeing to preserve Polish liberties with
in their own domains. Even this last
shred of liberty Poland lost before long
and then passed into the hideous slavery
which endured up to the hour when Ger
many surrendered. In the last war, now
ending, Russian Poles fought against Ger
man and Austrian Poles. Russian and
Austrian Polish regions were swept again
and again by destructive invasion.
To-day, in some fashion, Poland is emery
ing; Russian and Austrian Polish districts
have already united, there is provisional
government in the old capital of Warsaw
and Cracow is once more Polish. Only the
other day Polish troops entered Danzig and
Poland, and the Polish element is rapidly
obtaining control in upper Silesia. The
great task is virtually accomplished; it re-
mains for the Western powers to, fix the
frontiers, with full appreciation of the
needs Of the new state which is thus Gre
ated, and thereafter to assure to it protec-
