Wilson Accuses
 Opposition Ot Pro GernaniSn1

OGDEN, Utah, Sept 2s.-Homeward bound after yearly three weeks of speech- making, President Wilson told crowd here today that he had found so per cent of the people in favor of the league of nations. The chief op- position, he added, came from very disouieting element" which included the influences which tended toward disloyalty during the war.
 The declaration was made from the rear platform of the presidents private ear when a crowd gathered and clam ored for speech, after the presi- dential party had returned from brief automobile ride through the city. Only aNshort stop was made here be- fore MT. Wilson went on to Salt Lake City for a night meeting at the Nor mon tabernacle.
 He said in part:
 "I cannot make a real speech in the circumstances. for YOU will understand that the theme that I have most at heart needs a lot of sea room to turn in and I would despair of making any adequate remarks about so great mat ter as the treaty os peace or the league of nations; but do find this, my fel- low citizens. that the thing is very near the heart of the people. There arc some men in pubife life who do not seem to be in touch with the heart Of the people, but those who are know how that heart throbs deen and strong for this great enterprise of humanity for it is nothing less than that.
 We must set our purposes in a very definite wsy to assist the tc1t- ment of public rcan. I do not mean#r any way 10 coerce the judgment -@' public men. but to enlighten and " sist that judgment. for am conviftfa after crossing the continent, that ther' is no sort of doubt that so per eenl of the people of the United Stte] are for the league of nations, and tha| inc chief opposition comes from H@ very disquieting element that we iaf 70 deal with before and during th' var.
 All the elements that tended toward iisloyalty are against the league anf for a good reason: If this league h moi adopted We will serve Germany purpose. because we will be disasso' ciated from the nations. and an afraid permanently disassociated iron the nations with whom we co-operate' with in defeating Germany.

PUEBLO STRIKERS MAY COME HERE ID
 SEEK PLOYMENT
[Repubi,can A. p. Leased wirel

PUEBLO, Colo, Sept. 2S.-The sec ond day of the strike of steel workers in Pueblo passed the same as the first. No disorders Sand everything quiet. Hundreds of steel workers and their families attended the state fair and enjoyed other forms of recreation. From both the union headquarters and the officials of the plant came the statement that there is no change in the situation.
 The clouds of smoke usually coming from the smoke stacks at the steel plant have almost totally disappeared as some of the furnaces are banked and others cooled off. The only work men in the place today are the few men who are operating the electric light plant that supplies the Minnequa hospital, numerous residences of the dictrict and the plant.
 A meeting of the Pueblo trades and labor assembly is to be held tonight for the purpose, it is said, of raising funds with which to render financial assistance to the striking steel workers.
 Numbers of the steel workers are said to be seeking employment in othel parts of the Country. Some are said to be preparing to accept positions ir i Arizona and New Mexico, where it 1: said that there is shortage of mer ] in other lines of industry.

No Violence Reported in the Chicago District, Men Claim Great Additions to Number of Strikers
Republican A. p. LesSs5 es~-y

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-Closing of ad- ditional steel plants in South Chicago and Indiana Harbor and absence of appreciably increased activity in mills which were attempting to operate with reduced forces in Gary, marked the second day of the steel strike in the Chicago district.
 The union leaders claimed gains of approximately 10000 in the number of strikers. Officials of the United States Steel corporation plants were reticent.
 No signs of disorder were in evil dence at any of the strike centers.
 Today only the Gary mills of the United States Steel corporation, some smaller establishments in East Chi cago and five independent plants in Hammond tried to operate. At South Chicago a few men patrolled the silent mills as fire guards, and at Indiana Harbor the banked fires smoldered and thin wisps of smoke curled lazily from the tall stacks.
 J. W. Lees, general superintendent of the Inland Steel company, at h. diana Harbor, explained that he or dered a shutdown rather than take the responsibility for an industrial war fare. %
 We could have continued to oper- ! ate" he said, but we were caught in the troubles of the United States Steel corporation and evidently must halt while each side think things over
 Whether the employer sees it or not the time has come to share profits with the men. We have had a bonus and profit-sharing system in our plant and the men who remain loyal will con | tinue to receive their share of the ! profits even though the plant is closed | Continued on Page TWo)

Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

Organized labor gained ground in Chicago, Youngs ton and other the second day of the great steel strike, which marked by increased vio lence but according officials of the United States Steel Corporation and various independent companies made but little headway in Ptsburg and other eastern mills From the south received decidedly conflicting ports, such from Birmingham where union leaders there was such surplus of labor that hundreds of men were sweeping floors for lack of other tasks.
 In the Chicago district where union leaders claim additional 10000 had gone ou steel plants closed in South Chicago and Indiana Harbor, all though at the latter place officials of Independent explained their shutdown had been ordered merely to avoid responsibility for industrial warfare Yesterday only the Gary mills of the United States Steel Corporation small plants in East Chicago, and five independent mills in Hammond attempted operation.
 In the Youngstown district proper strikers achieved their marked success causing complete suspension of work in every plant in the Mahoning valley by calling A, 900 men away from their posts.

Claims are conftictina

PITTSBURG, Sept. 23.-Conf1icting claims as much at variance as those given out the opening day of the big steel strike continue to be made by the contending forces in the wide spread industrial contest now being waged.
 The leaders of organized workers boldly claimed today that the strike is spreading and that thousands of men who worked yesterday joined the walk out today. Predictions were made that plants still in operation would be closed tomorrow or Thursday and that no gains were made anywhere either by the United States Steel, corporation, the principal factor in the struggle, or independent concerns.
 Representatives of the Carnegie Steel company, the largest subsidiary in the corporation. admitting thai some of it's plants are closed because of a strike, claim that the situation is better than it was yesterday. Ac- cording to an authorized summary of conditions within the Pittsburg dis trict more men were at work al Homestead, Clairton. Duquesne, and other places. All told the situation is better than it vas yesterday.
 ''The situation in the Monongahela valley where our four big mills are located, is considerably improved and is encouraging" is the statement of ar official of the Carnegie company l 'Wm. z. Foster, secretary of the na- tional committee for organizing iror and steel workers, in charge of na- ] (Continued on Page Two)

Union leaders boldly heralded spread of the strike, declaring that whereas only 284,000 of the 500,000 workers affected had marched out of the mills on the opening day, their ranks now numbered 327, 100. They predicted that today or tomorrow would see the closing of many more plants and announced they hoped to extend the strike to Great Lakes seamen and union trainmen.
 Industrial leaders, while withholding their own figures, challenged the Claims of labor's leaders. Representatives of the Carnegie company, the largest sub sidiary of the United States Steel cor poration, declared that the situation was much improved" An estimate was made that, in the Pittsburg dis trict alone, 21 1000 men had returned to vat and furnace.
 The second day of the struggle was marked by rioting. Mondays disorders in New Costle and Farrell, Pa, wert. renewed, with increasing casualties, so that additional numbers of state troop CTS were sent there to reinforce the military already on duty while in Pitts burg, which had it's first serious dis turbance last night, several persons were injured in street fighting. In Buff IalO, IN. L., MOnQdy nlSHI QISluTbdHCeS assumed more menacing proportions 1 for last night one man was killed and l four persons wounded when guards at l the Lackawanna Steel company are alleged to have opened fire with shot, 1 guns on 5000 strike sympathizers massed near one of the gates, after the crowd had hurled bricks and stones.
 With the increase of disorder in the Pennsylvania steel towns. Wm. z. Eos ter, secretary of the national committed 1 of steel workers, who previously had stated no picketing had been ordered and the men had been told to stay away from the plants, charged that much oi the disorder was due to presence of the state troopers who, he alleged, haC made "unprovoked assaults upon inno- cent strikers"

REPUBLICANS TAKE CONTROL OF PEACE
 TREATY PROCEDURE
[RepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Republi- cans took actual control of peace trea- ty procedure in the senate today by a three vote margin.
 The first test in the fight now be- ing waged was the pact with it's league of nations covenant, came on a mo- tion by Chairman Lodge of the foreign relations committee, to postpone for one week consideration of some 40 odd amendments which would relieve the United States from service on commis sions created under the treaty. The formal motion, with a fixed date, was put before the senate after the vice. president had sustained a point of or der by Senator Hitchcock, leader of the administration forces for ratification against a motion for indefinite con- sideration, and it was adopted, 43 to 40.
 The motion, not of itself important was accepted tonight by opponents of the league as the best possible index of the feeling and attitude of the sen- ate toward the treaty and the cove nant. Democratic leaders declared it meant nothing.
 Except in three instances the vote, on which the ayes and nays were de- manded by Senator Hitchcock, fol- lowed party lines. Senator Jones of Washington and Senator McCumber of North Dakota. both republicans, voted against the motion, and Senator Reed, democrat, of Missouri, voted for it.
 Ten senators were paired and three Gore, Oklahoma; King, Utah, and Shields, Tennessee-absent and not voting, were not paired.
 The little furry over the Lodge mo- tion was the only excitement during the twohour consideration of the trea- ty, which was not taken up until } o'clock because of a parliamentary wrangle. Senator Lodge called it ur at ? o'clock, the regulation hour, but the fight over senate rule still was running wild, when Senator Hitchcock cut 1t short by a demand for reading oi | the treaty. There was no speech making and late in the day the crowds in the galleries, listening to the monot. onous reading, looked down and saw only two senators-Hitchcock ant Brandegee, republican of Connecticut in the chambers. Others fitted bacl and forth but few sat through tn, reading.
