shown dispatch quoting John Fitz-
patrick, director general of the steel
strike, as saying the walkout would
end Immediately If the United States
Steel Corporation would arbitrate diff
ferences, Ebert H. Gary, directing
head of the corporation, declared in a
statement, speaking for himself, that
he believed the board of directors can
not negotiate or confer with Mr.. Fitz-
patrick or his associates"
Mr.. Gary was shown the dispatch
while he was attending dinner given
here by Baron kOndO, president of the
Japan Mail Steamship Company, and
was asked to make some comment.
breaking the silence he has maintained
since the beginning of the strike. Mr..
Gary wrote statement while seated
ut the table and then, calling the news
paper men into the hall, read it to
them.
1.-THE board of directors of the
United States Steel Corporation are
the representatives of nearly 10000
stockholders, including from 10000 to
10000 employees" said the statement.
1--WE are their servants and are select
ed to represent and protect their in
terests and also the interests of all our
25OOOO employees, the majority of whom
think are not members of labor
unions.
Moreover, l believe our corporation

eral public concerning the issues in
vOlved in the pending strike. In these
circumstances, would not at present
assume to answer the question pro-
pounded to me.
However, will say for myself that
questions OF moral principle cannot be
trbitrated nor compromised, and In
my opinion such questions are includ-
ed In the present unfortunate struggle.
l also think we cannot negotiate or
confer with Mr. Fitzpatrick and his as
sociates as union leaders concerning
our employees whom these gentlemen
have volunteered to represent"
Mr.. Gary, who was the principal
speaker at the dinner, referred in his
address to the statement he had issued,
saying: IF the strike succeeds it prob
heaval which might bring upon all. of
Us grave and serious consequences And
you know that the questions involved

an acknowledged revolutiOnist, are
