.GOMPERS HOPES ID l. REACH SETTLEMENT
 IN STEEL DISPUTE
Time Limit for Gary to An swer Request for Confer ence Expires Without
 Reply From Chairman
By Associated pr,.,

Washington, August 30.- Efforts to or. ganize the workers in the steel industry are being made with the hope that an amicabe adjustment of their demands may be reached before any outbreak or cessation of work shall be inaugural ed Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, said to- gay in statement summarizing the work or the federation's executive council.
 The council has been in session three days considering the general labor situ- ation over the country. but MT Gompers did not deal with the situation as whole Nor did he indicate upon whar was based the hope that the controversy between the steel men and the United States Steel corporation would be adjust ed without resort to strike.
 President Wilson was asked yesterday to intervene in the controversy, but as he has as yet made no move, some officials believed he had declined to take hand.
 Meantime, the time limit. set for Chair man Gary of the steel corporation to answer the mems request for conference has expired without answer being re- ceved.
 Endorsement of two strikes--those of the cigar makers and actors--by the fed erations executive council was an- nounced
 The cigar makers were pledged the full
 moral and financial support of the fed eration. which promised also to appeal to all labor and friends
 As to the railroad brotherhood's plan for tripartite control of the railroads, generally known as the Plumb plan. MT. Gompers said the council had consid- cred this of such importance to labor. the people and the country that no ac- ton would be taken until special com mittee had gathered and presented all the facts.
 Regarding the Amsterdam conference of international trade unions. which he. attended as an American delegate. Mir. Gompers said it had voted overwheIm- ingly against any bolsheyik principles or tendencies. The report of the Amer ican delegates he said, showed that the wave of bolshevism had receded.
 No reference was made by Mir. Com pers to the Presidents decision not to grant general wage increases to railroad employees at this time.

GUARD CORPS PLAN URGED INSTEAD OF
 TRAINING SYSTEM
By A.,oe,stsd Pres,

F Washington, August. 30.-Organization through new system of universal mili- tary training of a great citizen army 10 be known as the National Guard Corps was proposed today by the National Guard associat ton in statement made public through the National Security league. Thirty divisions of the National Guard corps. functioning as a separate corps of the United States army under the direction of the Secretary of War. is proposed.
 Instead of subjecting all 1s-year-old youths to a three-months course of inten- slve military training as proposed by the war department. the guard association would have military training as a part of the national public school system, with youths entering this course when 14 years of age. After tnis preliminary train- inG, they would be given two months aiming in the field, and then would be graduated: into the guard. where they would serve actively for two years and nine months before being placed in the reserve for three years
 Estimating that 500.000 youths would be graduated into the guard every Syear, the statement said that after six years we would have a most effective army of 10000 men. 1,5OO, 900 in the so-called active service and 15OO.000 in reserve, all of them graduates of the training camps"
 The success of this plan.' the state- ment continued. would be largely de- pendent upon provision in the law that the, force would have it's own gen eral staff section of the greater general staff of the army, The professional of ficers of the proposed force would consist of the general staff section. or, as it might better be termed. the National Guard corps section of the general '.,
