That Is Comment of London
Times" on Situation.

Special Cable Despatch to The Sun from the
London Times Service
Copyright. 1919; all rights reserved.
LONDON, Oct. Accommodating on the
industrial strikes in the United States the
the Times in an editorial says:
1T all rings curiously familiar to us.
There is hardly point in the story that
does not remind us Of some experience
of our own during the last nine months.
Yet there are differences too. The steel
workers strike, which is the rock upon
which the industrial conference split,
turns on the question of recognizing
the union which has gone into the limbo
of almost forgotten things here as be-
tween employers and employees.
THE obdurate refusal of the employ
ers to meet the union in any way or 70
submit to arbitration. which has driven
Mr.. Gompers into the strikers camp and
broken up the conference, has put a
different complexion on the whole affair
The employers in America have evident
ly something to learn in these matters,

country some years ago. Civilized coun-

are living in the year 1919 and in what
we are proud to call the greatest democ-
racy on earth. The workers did we'll

democracy safe, and now they merit
words of praise instead of threats.
Threat. Called Foolish.
The threat to nave soldiers work the
mines is foolish-just as foolish as II
the Government threatened to have SOL
diers operate the trains. 1t requires
skilled men to do either. and there are
laws which prohibit the unskilled from
working in mines or on the railroads"
The Railroad Administration is MAX

stocks are low. Agents are trying to
find out how long the stocks on hand

mates OF enough to supply demands for

Senator Thomas of Colorado ex-
planned to the Senate to-day that the
bill he introduced yesterday did not pro-

the coal mines in the event of a strike

STEEL STRIKE LOST,
SAYS FITZPATRICK
But Union Leader Believes
Men Won Victory in Prov,
ing Their Power.
BLAME is LAID TO ARMY
Gary Council Member First to
Give Up-More Pittsburg
Mills Go On.

CHICAGO, Oct 2S.-Following a state
strike, made to military leaders in Gary
by L. L. Titus, a member of the Steel
Workers Council there. John Fitzpatrick,
chairman of the national committee d.
recting the strike, said:
THE strike is won, no matter what the
outcome may be-
There is no use pretending" Titus
had, said to Col. w. s. Mapes, command
ing the regular troops. THE men are
going back TO work. The strike Is lost,
and the army is responsible"
In explaining his statement Mr.. Fitx-
patrick said: STRIKES may be won, even
though they are lost. This struggle Is
only laying the groundwork for future
battles.
1.-The steel worker may be starved INTO
going back to work, but he has learned
this: He knows now that the Steel Cor
poration is not bigger than the will Of
the men working for It. He knows now
that he can close down the entire works.
Knowing this he will never again SUBJ
init, sheeplike, to the conditions under
which he has labored for years
For twenty or more years the steel
worker has been of the opinion that the
United States Steel Corporation was the
biggest thing on earth. He believed that
its power was even greater than that OF
the United States Government He did
not know that the worker Is the greatest
power.
Now he knows that he can tie up the
plants. He has done 1t. The next time
he tries he will tie 1t UP even more eff
fectually than he has done on this &C.
casion."
