With between 30 900 and 6T,5O0 work
men idle and virtually every steel plant
in the Chicago district either closed or
operating with greatly reduced force,

John Fitzpatrick. organizer of the
steel workers, announced that 81 300 men
are idle in the Chicago district and pre-
dictcd that. within few dsys. every
steel plant in this section will be closed
down.
Although officials of the steel compan-
les decline to state how many men still
are at work. they declare that the
figures given ont by union leaders are
greatly exaggerated.
An official of the Indiana Steel Com
pany, at Gary, Ind, said that not
more than II per cent of the men in
that city, had left their posts. Another
report, said to come from a minor off

OHIO INDUSTRY
BADLY CRIPPLED

Columbus, o., Sept. 23.-(By A. P.)
The second day of the steel strike
found the mills in Ohio's steel Centers
either completely closed or operating on
a limited scale.
Only two of the big steel companies
in the Youngstown district were max
ing any attempt to operate today. They
were the Youngstown Sheet and Tube
Company and the Carnegie Steel Com
pany. Both companies admitted they
were seriously crippled. The union
claims 55 900 men are out.
The Steubenvile Steel district was
idle. with the exception of the plant Of
the Weirton Steel Company, at Weir
ton. w. Va. opposite Steubenville. Five
hundred deputies were sworn in there to
maintain order.
Union leaders claim 25,0OO steel
workers are out in and around Cleve-
land, but company officials say this
figure is exaggerated. Ore handlers at
two Cleveland docks went on strike last
night and labor leaders said $50 ore
handlers at five docks are now out.
With thousands of men out, no trou

AMENDMENT TO BE
HELD UP IN SENATE

Washington, Sept. 23.-(By A. P.)
Republican Senate leaders decided to-
day to defer for several days considera-
tion of the amendment to the peace
treaty by Senator johnson, Republican,
of California, proposing equal voting
strength in the league Of nations be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain. Formal reading of the treaty
will be continued for time.
Senator johnson, who has been
speaking in the Middle West against
the league plan, returned here today,
but it was said he would rest at home
until tomorrow. BY telephone he con :
ferred with Republican leaders and the
plan to postpone his amendment tenn
porarily was agreed to.

demonstrations during the debate on the
treaty also was discussed at confer
ences today. Senator Lodge said it was

are in doubt.
Probably three or four of these men
only want reservations suCn as those
upon which an agreement between Sen
ator Lodge and Senator McCumber is
in sight, namely, modification of the
Lodge reservations. Theft attitude is
influenced by all sorts of motives. Some
of them have genuine convictions upon
reservations. Some of them hate the
President and wish to see him forced
to accept reservations without being
themselves compelled to vote against
their party in order to procure that re-
suit. Others are jealous of Senator
Hitchcock's leadership apd are trying
to impair it. Hence tn great Demo
cratic acceleration of' the johnson
amendment yesterday.
Lodge in Peculiar Position
On the other hand the Republicans
want to get rid of the johnson burden
they have upon their backs. Mr.. Lodge
knows. moreover. that the prospects of
the johnson amendment are very slight.
even if all his present Democratic allies
are not merely aCcelerations, but will
stand the test of vote on the amend
ment. He wants to be sure of passing
reservations in a form disagreeable to
Mr.. Wilson, interpretative reservations,
but expressed as Mr.. Wilson would not
choose to express them.
Mr.. Lodge wants to be assured of
one thing, Mr.. Wilson wants to be as
sured of another. There is room for
a trade here. And there is little doubt
that people are working on the trade.
Mr.. Lodge and his conservative asso-
ciates must either make terms with
johnson or make terms with Wilson.
If they succeed in forcing terms on
Wilson, they will secure something that
looks like victory for themselves. If
they have to fall back on Johnson the
victory will be Johnson
Just now they are trying to use with
aid of certain disaffected Democrats
the johnson amendment as club to
free themselves from Johnson.
