GARY AND GOMPERs CLASH
Head Of Steel Trust Declares That
That Strike ould Not Be Arbl-
trated Or Compromised.

Washington In his first pronounce
ment before the national industrial con-
ference, Judge Ebert H. Gary, chair
man OF the board Of the United States
Steel Corporation, sitting as represent
tative of the public. reaffirmed his po-
sitlon that the steel strike should not
be arbitrated or compromised" and OBJ.
jected to action on that issue by the
conference.
The steel official also restated with
out modification his belief in the open
shop and the right to determine terms
Of employment between employe and
employer" This statement brought
from Samuel Gompers, president Of
the American Federation of Labor and
leader OF the labor group in the con
ference, the charge that Judge Gary
was taking the attitude that there ia
no other opinion in the matter"
Referring to the steel corporation
chairman's request that the conference
take no action in the steel strike. the
labor leader declared that If the real
Industrial issues were to be brushed
aside there was no purpose in contin

Beet Sugar Producers Have Been Hold

Washington Steps to prevent an
abnormal increase in the price of sugar
because of the existing shortage we're
taken by the department Of justice.
Attorney General Palmer notified
beet sugar refiners,who have been with
holding their products from the mar
ket until the price situation became
more stabilized, that the United States
sugar equalization board had deter
mined 10 cents was fair price to be
charged the wholesaler and that any
charge in excess Of that amount would
be regarded as in violation Of the food
control act.
Refiners were asked to telegraph
thei concurrence in this price, which
would mean they would put their sup
ply on the market Immediately, there
by relieving the present stringency
Attorney General Palmer made pub
lie the following telegram sent to the
beet sugar refiners
after thorough investigation by the
recognized authorities on sugar, the
United States sugar equalization board
have notified the department of justice
of the following facts:
"As considerable part Of the coun-
try generally supplied at this time Of
the year with beet sugar may be EN-
barrassed because of the beet sugar
factories failure to sell beet sugar as
produced, and this condition in turn
is due to the uncertainty regarding
price, our judgment Is that no higher
price than 10 cents cash less 2 per cent
seaboard basis is justified and we hope
that you will decide at once to begin
marketing your sugar on this basis and
relieve the very serious situation.
"'The price Of 1O15 cents cash T. o. b.

sugar equalization board for sugars in
