Investigation.

BETHLEHEM. Pa. Oct. Little
change was apparent in the strike
situation at the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany's plant to-day. Both sides con-
tinued to issue conflicting statements
The company claimed that many Of
the workers who answered the strike
call on Monday had returned to work
and that the strike had at no time
seriously affected production. A
statement issued by the company last
night said that IS per cent. OF its men
were working. which was "a gain Of
per cent. over those reported at
work the preceding day.
David Williams. the strike leader,
declared that reports received at his
headquarters show that from rs to 50
per cent. of the workers are out.
The strikers have addressed a petit
ton to United States Senator Kenyon.

OPERATORS YIELD
POINT TO PREVENT
SOFT COAL STRIKE
Extreme Views of Both Sides
Voted Down, but New
Conference To-Day.

BUFFALO. Oct. WIT, The eN-
treme views Of both sides voted down,
the Joint conference OF soft coal
miners and the operators OF the CEN
trail competitive field will begin agaln
to-day 20 negotiate a new wage
scale and new working conditions.
Following the rejection by the op-
orators OF the miners original de-
mands for a 80 per cent increase In
wages and a thirty-hour work week,
the conference voted down the oper-
atos' maximum, which was that the
scale OF 1915, called the Washington
agreement, be continued until April 1.
1920
The olive branch came from the
operators side. the motion TO proceed
TO negotiate a new contract in ac-
cordance with the call OF the confer
encc" being offered by one OF their
number. II was conceded that the
zap between miners ana operators
was wide. but representatives Of both
sides expressed hope II would be
brldged and that the threatened strike
uf 100000 men on Nov. would be
averted.
In the decision to proceed can be
seen the first compromise, the opera-
tors apparently yielding. for the time
being at least, to the miners cOuten-
ton that the Workers Committee has
aiuple authority to conduct negotia-
tlons.
The other crucial point. the date Of
the expiration OF the agreement. ac-
cording to William r. Brewster.
Chairman OF the operators deleCa-
tlon, viii come before the conference
or one OF It's sub committees later on.
The first demand of the miners will
be taken up for debate to-day. It
reads.
We recommend that this conven-
tion demand 60 per cent. increase

The open shop IL essential TO prog
| ross and prosperity and the closed
shop means less production and nigh
er cost. When you are considertng
| the price Of living there is nothing
more important than that manufnc-
turers be allowed 10 operate unham-
pered.
Il think i Is immoral for a small
minority by force to compel larRc
majority to submit to their desires.
III this strike were successful it
would mean decay. higher costs and
this country couldn't compete with

out TO organize tho steel Industry, not
to secure better pay or better condi-

selves In to the steel industry 70 or

1T seoms to me you're on the de-
fensive," Senator Walsh declared to
Judge Gary. 'The men sent you

There wns no issue OF an open or a

What is the good OF unionizing IL

ployers7' Senator Walsh asked.
II don't think the employers should

N the men themselves are not re-
qucsting IT," Judge Gary replied.
How could they have got the men

The men didn't follow them."
Judge Gary retorted.
Whats on our mind Is your ro-
fusal TO meet these mon who said
they represented your men, and AZ
you havo any proof that they did not
Ia like TO have It," Senator Walsh
said.
Il did not think they did," Gary
said.

asked.

asked.
III they had come frankly and said

men might not have refused them"
Judge Gary sald.
We are not willing to do anything
which we believe amounts to the Cs
t1olishment OF closed shop or that
tends to do that. We stand firmly on
that proposition. Industry must be
allowed to stand untrammeiled free
from organized labor"
III labor cannot deal with the great
industries collectively, do you think
labor can maintain its rights?" Senator
Borah asked. Capital L. combined"
Labor can deal collectively" Judge
Gary replied. 1T ought to be allowed

Is whether the men shall deal collec-

ARMY MEDICAL OFFICERS
GOING TO VLADIVOSTOK
Four Ordered to Proceed at Once on
Special Duty for Protection
-- Against Epidemic.

Four officers of the Army Medical
Corps have been ordered to proceed
at once to Vladivostock for special
duty in connection with the control
of epidemic diseases" in the Ameri-
can expeditionary forces in Siberia.
They are Lieut.. Col. James G. Cum
ming, now with a hospital train at
San Francisco. and Lieut.. Col Eugene
r. Whitmore. Capt. Charles B. Spruit
and Second Lieut.. Tony T. Crooks, all
attached to the surgeon generals
Office in this city. They are ordered
to AXE the first available transport
sailing from San Francisco for Vladi-
vostock and will be accompanied by
five enlisted men.
These orders do not indicate the ex-
istence of an epidemic in Siberia, it
is said, but are SIMPLY precautionary
measures for the better protection of
the American troops in that far-dis-
tant land.
