UNION MAN HITS
CLAIMS OF CARY

Washington, Oct. 3.-Giving a
detailed history of union activities
in the steel industry, Michael F.
Tighe, president of the Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers union, told the
senate committee investigating the
steel strike today that the United
States Steel corporation instead of
leading the van in advancing
wages, as Judge Gary has claimed,
had Jagged behind our organiza-
ton"
Information give to you by
Judge Gary" Tighe said, was not
first-hand evidence gained from
practical knowledge of the industry,
but instad consiste- of the state
ments made to him by his employees,
foremen and superintendents. 1t
was far and away from being the
truth about the industry"
Tighe repeated the charge that
the steel corporation early in its
history had appropriated 20,000,- :
900 to fight unions and gave names
of his informants. The unions, he
said, had never sought the "closed
shop" but union shops"

SENATE PLANS
TORUSH ACTION
ON PEACE PACT
With Fall Program Elm
mated, Leaders Pre-
pare to Push Task.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Having dis
posed of all except one of the Fall
amendments to the peace treaty by
a majority of negative votes, the
senate was prepared today to take
up other features of the pact.
The future course of the senate
in its consideration of the treaty
with its League of Nations cove
nant was undecided early today
but it was expected that leaders
would soon agree on a program to
be carried out in the effort to speed
up action.
There remained today, unacted
on, the amendment proposed by
Senator Fall, Republican, New
Mexico, to limit American repre-
sentation to the reparations COM
mission; six amendments to the
league covenant and two minor
amendments.
Both Sides Claim Victory.
The vote on the Fall amend
ments, all of which were rejected
by majorities ranging from Is to
% votes still continued today to
be interpreted in varying lights.
Treaty supporters considered the
vote a distinct victory for their
forces while leaders of the opposi-
tion said the results of the roll
calls could only be looked on as a
victory for them inasmuch as the
votes of treaty opponents as regis
tered on the roll calls together
with absentees of the same opin-
ion guaranteed sufficient votes to
bring about the treaty's defeat un-
less reservations are accepted.
Whatever the course decided on,
much debate is expected. Sena-
tors Jones, Republican, Washing
ton. and Thomas, Democrat, Colo
rado, were expected to speak today.

President Cheerful
Philadelphia, Pa, Oct 3.-Dr.
Francis x. Dercum OF this city,
noted neurologist who examined
President Wilson as a consulting
physician, said today that ''the
presidents condition Is grave but
that he is of a cheerful frame Of
mind"
After spending an hour and a
half at the presidents bedside, Dr.
Dercum returned home at mid
night.
Is Encouraging Sign
I'VE merely confirmed DR.. Gray
sons diagnosis, made previously,
and found the president very much
in need Of rest He is very cheer
full and takes an interest in what is
going on. This is an encouraging
indication"
Mr.. Wilson, according to DR..
Dercum, realizes that he is a sick
man and IS making an effort 20
cease chafing under the restraint
which compels him to relinquish
temporarily the helm Of the ad-
ministration. BY nature, said the
neurologist, he is "a hard man TO
handle" from the viewpoint Of a
physician.
'The president is not the type OF
man to be worried by his symp-
TOMS" said DR.. Dercum. This led
him to overtax his strength, when
he should have been outstanding IL
after the strain of the peace CON
ference"
Is Exhausted.
Upon his arrival DR.. Dercum said
to newspaper reporters:
"The president is profoundly eX-
hausted and very weak He re-
mained in bed all day. He had no
temperature, but the fact that he
was up and about on Wednesday
and became so completely exhaust
ed later caused everyone to be q
little apprehensive."
DR.. Dercum said he would not
return TO Washington unless SUM
