golis, Pittsburgh, I. w. w. attorney,
and admitted advocate of social revoiu-
ton, today told the story of ultra rlGi-
cal activities which he said are asso-
ciated with the steel strike. He out
lined a partially successful attempt
covering the past two years to fuse,
at Pittsburgh, (unstated but vaguely
limited for revolutionary purposes) the
1. w. W., Bolshevih and Russian In
dustrial Workers.
Margolis said the imagination of
these men Were caught by the sue
cesses of Lenine and Trotsky in Russia
and all We're working, he calmly said.
"to create new society within the shell
of the old"
He frequently mentioned the name
of Secretary Foster of the steel strike
committee, not so much as a radical
agitator himself, but as a seeker for
help in conducting the industrial fight
in the steel industry
Margolis admitted that after the
steel strike committee had referred
slightingly to the 1. W. W., in a letter
to President Wilson about the strike
that Foster told him, MargoIia, over
the telephone to tell the boys not to

Plans for Hop to Rockaway Are
Deranged-Wright Stays at

Resumed Today.

Flying out of dense fog, the HIS,

Hewitt and piloted by Ensign Burr
Chase, landed at Tampa yesterday
evening. The H-16, S54, commanded
by Lieutenant Webster Wright, and pi-
loted by Ensign NJ. P. Cook, remained
at Apalachicola, where both planes
landed at s:45 yesterday morning. 1t
was stated last night that the S54
would join the S5S at Tampa and from
that point would continue their hop to
Rockaway, Long Island.
Advices stated last night that both
planes with their crews are safe. The
encountering of the fog has deranged
the original plans of the aviators
which called for the second stop at
Brunswick, Ga, and thence to Hamp-.

proba bly, take a bee line across the
Peninsula now, and follow the Allan
tic coast to their final destination,
landing at Jacksonville and Hampton

Gary Breaks Silence and Main
tains Steel Strike Should Not
Be Arbitrated Nor Compro-

CANCELLATION SEEMED

In Reply to Gary Gompers Stat

Are to Be Cast Aside There Is

tor agreement on the domi-
nant issue of collective bar
gaining seemed m ore re-
mote.
The prospects of conciliation was
considered still more remote tonight
when it became known that repre-
sentatives of capital are steadfast in
refusal to accept the resolution for
recognition of the right of bargain
ing which approved public and labor
groups.
sudge Gary, who returned here to-
day after a three days absence in
New York, is a public representative
IN the conference. He has maintain
ed silence during the two weeks the
conference has been sitting and he
declined today to comment on a re-
port that he went TO New York last
week to confer with steel corpora
ton officials on the issues before the
conference.
Judge Gary was understood to have
expressed fear of the consequences of
further recognition of labor unions.
The effect of his announcement on
the industrial conference remained to
be developed.
The stumbling block today was the
insistence by the employers that to
the substitute region named late
Saturday by the central committee of
the conference, which it was believed
would be acceptable to all interests
involved. be added a clause declaring
Il the right of employers and en-
ployes TO bargain individually. The
resolution. before this clause was re-
quested would have given labor the
right TO organize into trade and labor
unions, shop and other industrial as
sociattons and would have given them
he additional right to be heard, in
dealing with their employees, through
representatives. chosen by a majority
0 their own members"
Labor delegates announced their un-
atera BILE oppoSition To the individual
'argaining clause. The employers were

&'uation facing the conference today.
