chairman of the board of the United
State Steel corporation, declined today to
meet personally John Fitzpatrick and
other representatives of the American
Federation Of Labor. who constitute a
committee appointed to organize the
workers in the iron and steel industry
Gary sent word to the committee that
if it had any statement ii wished to make,
it should be reduced to writing and then
it would be considered by the corporation.
Gompers Is Retlcent.
The refusal of Mr.. Gary to see the
committee was the first development
here in the controversy which may re-
suit in strike Of steel workers to en-
force union recognition and better work
ing conditions.
The effort to arrange conference
with Mr.. Gary came shortly after the
hurried return from Europe OF samuel
Gompers, who announced before ne
sailed that his presence home was more
imperative than abroad. 1t had been eX-
pected he would attend the conference
with Mr. Gary if one were arranged
On his return he made no comment on
the situation in the iron and steel IN
dustry.
The committee headed by Mr.. Fitz-
patrick had been authorized to call a
strike August 80 if it fails to obtain
concessions. If a walkout is ordered, it
will involve every industry dependent

Washington, Aug. 26.-Entering on an
investigation Of the increased price Of
coal, senate interstate commerce sub
committee, today, brought forth testi-
mony that shortage of cars and labor
difficulties were hindering coal produc-
ton, that certain elements in the miners
union were intent on naturalization Of
the coal mines with adoption of six
hour day and five day week plus a
wage increase and that, unless prob
lens Of production were solved, the
country would be brought face to face
with a coal famine in the coming winter.
Emphasize Hines to Blame.
So emphatic were the witnesses that
the railroads were at the bottom of the
present low production, that Senator
Frelmghuysen, chairman of the commits
sion. indicated the committees intention
of bringing Director General of Rail-
roads Hines into hearing.

Representation on 70

Membership Retained on
Reparations; Strictly
Party Vote on Changes
in Fifty Places.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Pro-
vision for American representa-
ton on a score Of international
commissions to carry out de-
tails of the peace settlement
would be stricken out of the
peace treaty under an amend
ment adopted today by the SEN
ate foreign relations committee.
Later, in the senate itself, the
committees previous decision to
amend the Shantung section
raised a whirlwind of debate,
with Senator McCumber, North
Dakota, bitterly attacking the
committees course and Senator
Borah, Idaho, defending it. Both
are republican members OF the
committee.
At the end of the day, Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, the
democratic leader, talked over
the possibilities of the situation
with President Wilson at the
White House, and predicted
afterward that all amendments
would be defeated eventually
and that the treaty would be
ratified during September.
Divide on Party Lines
The change will affect about
a score Of commissions and
would change the language Of
the treaty in more than fifty
places.
The committee divided along
strict party lines. Although the
committee acted specifically on
only four Of the treaty provis-
ions in question, there was an
agreement that the votes on
these separate provisions will be
only perfunctory.
The change has no effect on provi-
sions like that regarding the Saar basin,

Los Angeles. Aug. 26.-All striking
railroad men here will ignore the recon-
,nendations from their national chiefs,
that they should return to work, and VIII
continue their strike This decision was
reached today. after an extended meet
ing which lasted far into the night.
The men based their action on a
phrase of the orders to return which
said they need not submit themselves to
the danger of mob violence. They SAID TO
return row would be dangerous in that
respect
In view of this action by the steam
road men there appeared little possibility
of change in the strike situation here,
which has gradually grown worse
through the past week. until today the
steam lines radiating from Los Angeles
are all tied up. while the yards are
choaked with freight. perishahle food
stuffs are rotting in isolated cars. freight
service is non-existent, sheds and docks

Monday: it was consolidated Santa Re
overland, which came in as five trains

who ran it here before joining the

ment that a federal grand jury session
would be held. with an intimation by
the district attorney that delays IN the
mails would be investigated.

Workers Must Have Say.

labor chieftain declared that. while he
had not talked with the German dele

today that they could not ac-
cept as a basis of settlement
Of their demands the rates SUBJ
mitted to them Monday by
President Wilson.
Results of the negotiations
here were communicated to the
union locals throughout the
country, with instructions that
a strike vote should be taken
Immediately to determine
whether the presidents pro-
posal has been accepted.
Pending the issuances Of an
official strike vote, it was urg-
emily requested by international
officers that all men should re-
main on the job.
WHSuH FFOpDSdI mai.
Director General Hines, according to
letter sent to the local secretary. told
the committee that the proposition as
and that there would be no wage in
crease granted to any other class of rail-
road employees as class. but in the
event Of unjust inequalities as between
individuals adjustments involving in
creases to equalize rates Of pay would
be made where justified.
The committee thereupon Informed
the locals that the director general had
been advised that his proposition could
not be accepted as basis Of settlement
BY them and continued:
practically every class of railroad
employees have now submitted requests
for very substantial increases over eX-
listing rates of pay. 1t is well that our
members give very serious consideration
to this fact if there is to be any general
increase in the wages of railroad en-
ployes, the federated shop trades will
receive the same consideration. DOM
thought and don't forget that if the fed
Grated shop trades become involved in
strike now. you are striking to force
an increase for the two million railroad
employees.
Committee Passes Issue Up.
4In view of the foregoing facts. the
statements contained in the presidents
letter and the responsibility that must
be assumed. if suspension of work is
to take place. your executive council
has decided that it would fail in its
duty entirely were it to authorize
strike before the membership have had
an opportunity to decide their course
of action on this proposition. 1t is not
our intention to shirk any of our respon-
sihilities as executive officers and the
wishes of q constitutional majority Of
the membership expressed by their vote,
as hereinafter directed, will be carried
out
Hines Directs Equalization.
The letter then gives instructions for
an immediate summoning of the mem
bers of the various locals to take
strike vote 1t was pointed ont that.
owing to the large numbers involved,
it must be understood that the respec-
tive international organization will not
be obliged to pay regular strike hene-
fits beyond the limits of the funds
available for that purpose.
