And Officials of the United
States Steel Corporation
Is to Be Sought
PRESIDENT WILSON
TO UNDERTAKE 1T
In an Effort to Avert Threat
ened Strike of the
Workers

Washington, Sept. 5--President Will
son has agreed to undertake to bring
about conference between representa-
tives of the steel workers and officials of
the United States Steel corporation in
an effort to prevent threatened strike.
The president was asked in telegram
sent him to-day by, Samuel Gompers
president of the American Federation of
Labor, and the committee of steel men,
to say whether a conference could be ar
ranged before next Tuesday when the
presidents Of the "a international unions
in the steel industry will meet here to
take such action as they might deem
necessary.
The telegram to the president follows
"The executive committee representing
the various international unions in the
iron and steel industry met to-day TO
consider the awful situation which exists
in many of the iron and steel industry
eenters. The coercion, the brutality EN-
ployed to prevent men and unions from
meeting in halls engaged, upon private
property, in the open air, the thuggery
of the corporations emissaries, the
wholesale discharge of numbers Of men
for no reason than the one assigned, that
they have become members of the union
have brought about such a situation that
it is exceedingly difficult to withhold or
restrain the Indignation of the men and
the resistance that they declare it i
their purpose to prevent
"The executive committee, relying
upon the case as presented to you last
week and your earnest declaration tC
endeayor to bring about conference foI
the honorable and peaceful adjustment
of the matters in controversy, have thus
far been enabled to prevail upon the men
not to engage in a general strike We
cannot now affirm how much longer We
shall be able to exert that influence, but
we urge you, even in the great work ir
which you are engaged, 10 give prompt
attention to this most vital of issues
for if the men can no longer be re.
strained, il is impossible to foretell what
the future may hold in store for an in.
dustrial crisis which NAV ensue and frus.
trate the project which you have worked
at for peaceful and honorable adjust
ment of industrial affairs in our country
"A meeting of all presidents of the q
international unions in the steel industry
has been called to take place on Tuesday
Sept. ., in Washington, D. c., to take
such action az they may deem necessary
May we not have your reply on or before

HUNGARY WATCHED
WITH APPREHENSION
Austria Fears Ascendancy of the Reac
tionary or Monarchial Element in
That Country.

Vienna, Friday, Aug. 20 lBy the Asso-
ciated Press Austria is watching the
trend of events in Hungary with grow
ing apprehension, The present ascendan-
ey of the reactionary element is feared
here to point the road to manarchial
government there by the re-establish-
ment of Hungary as a kingdom, or the
fruition of the reported Rumanan scheme
for dual Rumanian- Hungarian empire
under Rumanian king.
The activity of the royalist elements
of Europe, outside of the immediate
House of Hapsburg, is indicated by ap-
parently reliable reports that approaches
have recently been made to certain
high parsonage whose name and influence
have figured in recent European history,
with the intimation that he would be
acceptable as either king or emperor
of Hungary.
According to information here, the
forthcoming elections in Hungary point
strongly toward a monarchial success.
Premier Friedrichs announcement de-
clared universal suffrage was to prevail
and the existing literacy qualification
was TO De dUOllSHtu. MS IucdHs bit
ballot for the peasantry, and it is said
here that this great element of the pop
ulaton is tired of turmoil and revolu-
tion and, recalling the calm of the old
days, might naturally turn to re-estab-
Hshment of the land owners and the
crown, which means to them authority
and protection of life and property.
The monarchist propaganda has been
actively cultiyating this field and, it is
said onely that the Rumanians are dill
gently assisting this movement, as ap-
pealing to their own ambition of union
of the two countries.
Meanwhile the Austrians are endeav-
oring to shape their own destiny and pre-
pare for the effect Hungary's future will
have upon it. Reduced to her present
territorial limits, Austria's resources are
greatly restricted and her currency is
depreciating daily. Many of the leaders
feel that the task of rehabilitgting and
establishing permanent statehood, as it
now presents itself is beyond the capa-
city of the country.
