The Trumbull steel company at Warren where the
strikers are now trying to get back into the best
sble terms is an independent concern with arather pro
gresslye management. AS compared with some of teh
big steel combinations 1t is small operation, but what
is happening there symptomatic of what is going on
at Johnstown and other places where called inde-
pendeus plants are located and it indicates the unda-
mental weakness of the strike as whole. These small
concerns have larger percentage of American labor
than the big plants and the Americans in the steel mills
never have their hearts in this strike

WHY THE DELAY.

NX7 HEN Senator Underwood declared in the senate
w yesterday, after it became apparent that there
would be unlocked for delay in voting on the amendments
to the peace treaty. that the senate should not wait until
next week to vote on the Shanhng amendment when every
senator knew now how he going to vote he put into
words what vast majority Of his fellow cOuntmen have
been thinking for some time.
Earlier in the year The senate was freang its head oft
because Of the delays in Paris Now one Of the obstacles
to vote on the amendments 10 the treaty which have been
proposed by the foreign relations committee is the fact that
Senator johnson is in the westmakng speeches Until he
returns Senator Borah wlwhhold unanimous consent to
take vote Gould anything well be more absurd?
Doubtless the senators have good reasons for their swing
from eagemess to get the peace negotiations with to
the studied delays they are now nerposing but tits APP
parent these reasons have no bearing the treaty ITSELF and
the senators are presenting to the world the almost unique
spectacle Of making football Of personal politics out of
highly important International ISSUE
Even in Italy where the politicians have been thrown
out Of their natural orbit BY the Adratc affair they still
adhere to the axiom that partisan politics should end at
the border Inths country and in both the old parties
there are men apparently who would make political issue
Of the Ten Commandments if they could.

SAVEY DEPL0RES ACTS
 AGAINST ITALY

Rome, Sunday. July 6-General Sayy, commander of the French troops at Plume. says in an interview with the Giornale D'Italia that the act of some of his soldiers who re- gently offended Italians in that city by cheering for Jugo Slavia was most deplorable." He points out, however, that it would be a mistake to Eeneralize and make the fault of q few that of the whole French con tingent."
 General Savy says he did his best to be neutral in the question of Plume, especially as he has in his command some Serbian troops, but he adds that he understands the position of the Italians and that If he were in their place he would have acted like wife" Expressing his regret for the incident, he says:
 T am sorry there should be any feeling between two people who have faternized at the front against the common enemy. Italy ought to be compensated for her sacrifices. and when Plume is assigned to Italy, l shall be the first to rejoice from the bottom of my heart"

In order to relieve the 400 soldiers of the seventh United States Balloon Company were straining at the an- chor ropes of the R-34 during an cleo trical and wind storm last night. The big bag was raised to obviate the dan ger of damage from wind. During this operation q rope releasing water ballast from an aft compartment as released by accident and the rear of the bag shot up into the air to an a1- titude of some 100 feet while her nose was only 200 feet above the field. The RIA remained in this position throughout the night and caused Ma jor Scott to return to the field early today to distribute the water ballast in the bag to bring her to an even keel again. Adjustments of the ballast had to be accomplished before the complete sun caused the gas bag to expand.
 Members of the crew who remain ed here last night explained that the failure of the R-34 to receive weather reports caused her to run into two storms off New Foundland The weather reports picked up were from the vicinity of the Azores islands, while those from the north Atlantic region were very meagre. With re- ports telling of the storm area some 200 miles north by northeast of New Foundland the R-34, it was said, would have altered her course to north of the circle of wind and pro- ceeded over northern New Foundland and the Nova Scotia coast and there by would have avoided the storm be- tween New Foundland and Nova Scotia.
 A weather report received at the field from Washington early today said: "The weather will become clear by Monday morning and remain clear during succeeding forty-eight hours. Wind will be west and northwest, steady and will not exceed twenty miles per hour. Advise probable time of return trip so that forecast can be made accordingly"

AT
 ATTACK UPON
 LOCAL ITALIANS

P. Altieri, editor of the La Senti- nella. makes the following statement relative to an alleged attack on the Italian newspapers circulated in Bridgeport:
 Tn regarding the editorial Italians or Americans-Whic of Bridge port Sunday Post, 9th July, I am greatly surprised of the way in which the Italians and the Italian press are attacked. It is hard for me to un- derstand how the writer of the arti- cle is ignorant of the true sentiments of the Americans of Italian descent and with what heat he is possessed in regards to the Italian press.
 'The article says that right here In Bridgeport we have Italian lan- guage newspapers which attack American institutions with a scurri- louS abuse
 T am the editor of the only Italian paper printed in Bridgeport and challenge the editor of the Post to show only one sentence in all the is sues of my paper which does not sound the greatest respect for Amer ica, for American institutions and for the ideals of freedom of this most beloved, progressive, prosperous, gen. erous country"

NAT, DEFENSE COUNCIL FORMED
 A SECRET GOVT
(Continued from Page One)

(COnlnued rom Page One) it allowed interested parties to fix the prices of war supplies; that it put the people of the country to in
 calculable unnecessary expense and carried things with a high hand MT. Graham declared that when Major General Goethals was called
 ''at the eleventh hour to rescue the
 war department from the public obli-
 guy which was fast settling upon it
 as a result of the methods and inca-
 pacity of the commission, he repudi.
 ated and practically defied it.
 "Our soldiers were actually dying of pneumonia in the camps because of lack of proper clothing and blan- kets," MT. Graham said "and Gen
 eral Goethals assumed the duties of quartermaster general only con- dition he should have free scope in the performance of his duties, un- hampered by the council of national defense,
 "Imnrediately he took from the
 members of that council their pow CT to order purchases and fix prices and soon dispensed with the services
 of those members of the advisory commission who had so deploraloly for the army
 Judge Gary advised the advisory
 commission, Mir. Graham said, that
 it was operating in disregard of the
 Sherman law, the Clayton law, and
 'all other statutes that are supposed to regulate business, particularly big business" When the attorney gen
 eral was called upon by the commits sion tp answer Judge Gary, MT. Gra-
 ham said, he answered that the mat ters referred to as violations of law were matters of national policy ratheI than a legal question. "Aft terwards,' Mir. Graham declar-
 ed, "w1en there was evidently dis cussion in Congress as to the ille- ga1ity of members of the committees on the coG- buying from them- selves, the council d11-Sssed this gen eral policy and it was suggested that
 this embarrassment might be re- moved by the plan of the committee reorganization now under considera- tion."
 The minutes show that on ac- count of this so-ca1led embarras ss-
 ment the war industries board was | created, and committees were ap- | pointed by the national chamber of 1 commerce, so the letter of the law | might be compiled with, but by which scheme no part of the metho cd 1 of buying was changed on the slight 1 est degree so far as I can observe" Citing cases in which he said the | council formulated legislation be. | fore war declared, which Legislation later was considered by congress MT | Graham declared that on February l 15, 1917, the council discussed tn, | draft system and considered a report | from Commissioners Samuel Comp
 CTS and Howard E. Coffin relative tc i the exclusion of labor from military | service.
 On the same day it recommended 1 that Herbert Hoover be employed b, 1 the government in connection with 1 food control. and on March 8 en- l dorsed the daylight saving scheme | and recommended a federal consor. | ship of the press.
