FORCES LINED UP
 IN LABOR BATTLE
Strikers Present Their Side and Stncl Corporation Will Testify
 Next Week.

Washington, Sept. 27-Invostigation to date of the steel strike by the sen. ate labor committee in an effort to ascertain if the situation can in any way be relieved by federal action has developed the following outstanding points .H1
 1-DeClaration by strike leaders that agreement by the U. S. Steel Corp. to arbitrate differences with it's employees would end the walkout.
 2-Assertion by strikers represent -s tatiVes that granting by Chairman Gary of the steel corporation of g hearing of their demands now would not end the strike. N
 3-The view of organized labor that the issue Is recognition of the right of employees ito be heard, to organize and to have some voice in determin- ing conditions under which they la bor"
 These definite points were broughta out in the two days hearing by two representatives of labor to appear, John Fitzpatrick, chairman of the strikers committee, and Samuel Com pers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor. Both went into the history of the movement to organize the steel industry and charged that in many cases civil authorities in west5g ern Pennsylvania had lent assistance to the steel companies to defeat the movement.
 Having heard lahor's side of the controversy the committee next will hear views of operators in the indus try. Judge Gary of the steel corpora ton will appear next Wednesday pre- "a pared to present his side of tho con- troversy,

Steel Strike d Failure.
A CITIZEN
( (MancheSter Hcrald)


 The steel strike, even at this early date, seems destined to fail. A suf- fcient number of workers remain at their posts to continue production, even though it be limited. The strik- CTS have closed comparatively few of the big plants Tn this first test of strength the employers have won, through the loyalty of so large a pro- portion of their men. It was an- nounced hy labor leaders last week that the strikers would not picket the steel mills, but would Ego fishing" Today this program has been changed and pickets are to be placed at the mills where men are at work, to dis courage them and others from work ing. This change of front is of it. self an evidence of weakness.
 The strike should have been strongest. at the' start, when the treasury was full and enthusiasm was at it's height. Failing at this point, its strength may be expected to de- cline, as strikers meet discouraging conditions and begin to miss their pay envelopes.
 It is noticeable that conservative labor leaders like Gompers are not encouraging this strike. Therefore the steel workers can expect little aid from sympathetic strikes The pub- lie, too, Is not In a mood to support the strikers. For these reasons we may hopo to escape the wholesale disruption of industry which the la Dor organizers aimod 10 bring about by closing the steel mills.

ENGLAND'S RAIL STRIKE.

The decision of the railroad men in England to go on strike will be met we are told, with every facility that that country has at it's disposal ill a fight to the bitter end" The army will be used and the country has been put back upon war ration basis, with the prohibition of hoarding more than a weeks supply of food and the keep this food in circulation. An other showdown has been precipi- tated in the labor pital fight
 The British are better situated to would be possible in this country They have been more dependable upon trucks for the carriage of goods than we have at any time, they have country is not characterized by the vast distances that exist here It is short run from one side of the island to the other and not great one lOI lHe lenSlH or IL, nOrth and south. The experiment of the Empire in carrying goods by the truck method will be watched with interest as it will be the first attempt on record to feed d great population by this means and may demonstrate to all nations the feasibility of through routes for the distribution of food via motor.
 Food rationing as it existed during the war is indeed d hardship for the people of Great Britain Despite the it is hard for the average person of the United States to conceive of the extent of restrictions upon edbles in that country. Sugar and butter were practically unknown, milk and farm products were nearly as scarce White flour was a rarity. Meat, also, was not procurable The Englishman had to have his tea, and he drank it without sugar, even in the best and most expensive cafes. He ate his cakes without butter, and when he searched an ordinary meal at home. or in restaurants, he usually found that brussells sprouts or cauliflower formed the piece de resistance.
 After d month in London, late last year, we have a very vivid recollec- tion of the number of times that we ate cauliflower or the sprouts pre- ViOuSly referred to. Once and a while, if our pockets were well filled with coin of the realm, or the paper equivalent of it, affectionately re- ferred to cigarette coupons' by the Tanks, we were able to acquire potion of chicken or the hind leg of a rabbit, but that was occasional.
 There should be no better way to bring the people of England to &C., count than by putting them back on rations. Public indignation will be bound to swell when there is no seem- ing cause for the hardships that must be undergone. Right or wrong the railroad men of England are going to quit striking very soon.

GOMPERS ON THE STAND.

Sanity and carefulncss of state- ments made marked the testimony of Samuel 'Gompers, head of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, before the steel strike investigation committee yesterday. His declarations were in welcome contrast to those of Fitz- gerald, made the day before, whether they are agreed with not. There was no effort to wave the bloody shirt" to appeal to the mob as was evident in Fitzgerald's impassioned talk. Rather the old fellow gave a digest of conditions and things that should be remedied. He has more ! sense than to try to carry the pub lie away with utterances that savor - of the talk of BolsheVik extremists.
 Naturally, MT. Gompers, is an op- T ponent of the "open shop" He would not be in the position that he occu- pies if he were not, he is trying to |nchieve the aim of labor in general. With the closed shop which he advo- Hcates go the other things which he wishes, 'labor's right to be heard" as Ia body, in body, by it's employers. He claims, without exaggerated words, Eject to persecution by authorities of 1.-the state, who are subsidized by the 3interests. He claims that the steel 7Workers have never been given &Xrlo |fbodies and minds outside of the mills, pr otherwise.
