Judge Gary, appearing before the
senate committee on labor made II
clear that there is no hope of arbitra-
ton or other amicable settlement of
the strike, for the United States Steel
corporation intends to fight the unions
to finish. He said the issue is the
open shop against the closed shop. in
v0lving the right of employers to hire
whom they please; that the closed
shop is immoral, meaning decreased
production, higher prices and national
decay; that the Steel corporation will
never recognize the unions or contract
with them, and that 1t will never deal
with union leaders as such He de-
clared the corporation does not object
to It's employees organizing, and is Will
ing at all times to grant them hearings
concerning grievances. He told of the
wages paid the employees and what
the corporation has done In the way
of housing them. The average wages,
excluding administration and selling
forces, have advanced from $2.SS on
July 1, 1914 to 1927 on July 1, 1919.
Judge Gary was followed on the
stand by William u. Foster who is
considered by many as the real leader
Of the strike.

creases daily with the arrival of de-
serters from the regulars and he dis
played his defiant spirit by refusing
to treat with the government as long
as NTH remains at its head. He was
planning a juncture Of Italian troops
at lara and Sebenico and there were
persistent rumors that unless the gov
eminent yielded and supported him
he would proclaim n new republic. The
situation of the Italian government
would be ridiculous If 1t were not so
nearly tragic. Except for the Social
lists, the people certainly are in SYM
pathy with D'Annunzios assertion
that Fiume must belong to Italy. and
the demand is general that the SUI
preme council of the allies ignore Pres
ident Wilson and carry out that clause
of the treaty of London. France and
Great Britain have been only luke
warm in their support of Mr.. Wilson,
and probably would comply with the
demand of the Italians If they could
do so gracefully. However, the SUI
preme council holds the position that.
all else aside, IT cannot afford 10 have
its authority flouted by Italy, as that
would open the way for Greece. Rou-
mania, and even Germany and Bull
garia to take similar action In regions

General Won Ger Goltz still refuses
to withdraw the German army from
the Baltic region, and the government
at Berlin, perslsting in its contention
that those troops are not under its con-
troll, has shut off their supplies-so it
says. The supreme councils patience
was exhausted and it authorized Mar
shall Foch to send an ultimatum to
Berlin with the threat of renewal Of
the blockade. Near the close of the
week 1t was reported In Paris that the
blockade had been put into effect. Won
der Goltz has been grossly insulting
to General Burt, representative Of the
allies in Riga, and has announced he
would allow no Englishmen to remain
in the Baltic territory occupied by Ger
man troops.

they could be operated with forces
composed entirely of members of the
international unions.
Great Britain, almost tied up by the
great railway strike, saw a chance for
peaceful settlement toward the end
Of the week when representatives of
the transport workers and other trades
went into conference with Premier
Lloyd George. None of the railroad
men were in the deputation. The allied
unions were seeking a compromise as
an alternative to going on a sympa-
thetic strike. SO far the government
had been firm in its refusal to yield
anything to the strikers and many
trains were being operated under
armed guard. The use Of soldiers in
this way aroused the bitter protests
of organized labor generally. As a con-
sequence of the strike the United
States shipping board stopped the
clearance of vessels for England.
Labor in England has thought up
something that it seems to have over
looked in this country. Union COM
positors on some papers asserted the
right to censor the news they set up
so it would not be unfavorable to the
strikers, and in at least one instance
they compelled the withdrawal of an
advertisement for men to take the

A compliment to American soldiers
Ia implied in the decision OF the French
government to adopt American athletics
In France. 4
The task Of i%naugurating the system
OF American physical education In the
French army has been assigned to Louis
c. Schroeder, formerly physical instruc-
tor Of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation college at Springfield, Mass, and
he will confine his initial efforts to the
Ecole d'Artilleire at historic Fontaine-
bleu.
MIR. Schroeder, speaking of his work
a few days ago, said:
The French government has been
watching the work Of our boys and also
their play. The authorities are much
struck with the enthusiasm OF the
American soldier both In his fighting
and his recreation. and they feel that
whatever games, physical education and
methods have produced such good re-
suits are best for them to employ in
their schools and army.
1T is q curious fact that the French
do not approach the question of coma
petitive games and massed recreation
from our American angle. With us 1t
is largely a question of pleasure, amuse-
ment and recreation, but with the
French IL ia a means to an end and that
end is the physical reconstruction of

TOLEDO. O., June Jess Willard
and Jack Dempsey will have a voice
in selecting a referee to judge their
heavyweight championship contest here
July 4, despite the prevailing impress
sion that the third man in the ring
viii be chosen by the army, navy and
civilian board of boxing control. This
developed today when the board, in
accepting Promoter Richards invitation
to pick the officials for the contest,
advised that both boxers be. consulted
before a definite selection is made.
Willard said today he did not approve
the suggestion to have two judges out
side the ring in addition to the referee
to Judge the contest. The champion
said he would prefer to accept the de-
cision of a referee, because the judges,
viewing the contest from outside the
ring, probably would not be of the
same opinion as the referee and that
their stand might prove embarrassing.
