RESPONSIBILITY FOR
WAR STILL UNDECIDED

PARIS. Mar. 10.-The findings Of
the commission on responsibility of
the war are still incomplete. 1t is
understood the commission will con-
clude that the officials of the central
powers were morally guilty of the
most heinous crimes, but that phys
ical punishment would of necessity
be retroactive.
The Americans have annonced
themselves as unwilling TO adopt any
eXpedients, the cOnstitutionality of
which might be questioned in the
United States and in that event the
Europeans would have to act alone.
if they were determined to punish
the officials involved. A possible
solution suggested is the formal de-
nunciation in the preliminary peace
treaty Of the officials of the central
empires

Continued from Page one) Fitzpatrick, chairman of the steel strikers" organization, requesting him to appear Thursday. Judge Gary teIe- phoned later that he could not appear Thursday and at his request, his testi- mony was deferred until a week from tomorrow. Senator Kenyon said to- night he was assured Fitzpatrick and probably other representatives of the strikers would be on hand to start the hearings Thursday.
 Expedition of the committees in quiry is planned by Senator Kenyon.
 I hope to complete the hearings and submit a report late next week." said the chairman, who added, during sem ate discussion of his resolution that legislation to bring about conciliation might result.
 Senator Kenyon told the senate that he was acting primarily in the public interest, believing that the steel strike was the first skirmish in industrial warfare" and denied that either capi- tai or labor had the right of acting in detriment to the public.
 Senator Thomas, Colorado, demo crat, today introduced resolution which would put the senate on record as disappearing "conspiracies and dis turbances" to accomplish objects by force pr disorder, denouncing tho closed shop as un-American and de- ploring strikes for power.
 The senator plans to call up the resolution tomorrow.

The union leaders of the district met in Chicago today and after their re- ports had been tabulated the claims of 75,000 strikers as against yesterdays s figures of 67,500 was given out. J. H. De Young, who presided, said that the national strike committee of which John Fitzpatrick is chairman, would espouse the cause of the engi- neers who quit their posts at Gary despite orders to the contrary from the International Union of Steam and Operating Engineers.
 H. NJ. Comerford, international sec retary of the engineers, exhibited a telegram from Milton Snellings, presi- dent of the organization, condemning the strike. MT. Comerford blamed "an incorrigible radical element at Gary for the happenings there and criticized the action of the committee which called the big strike over recommenda- tions to the contrary from President Wilson and Samuel Gompers.
 ''The strike is not approved gener- ally by the conservative element in the labor movement" he said. Tt could not be with such radical leadership"
 The first court action of the strike came late today when the Pollak Steel company, manufacturing steel axles in Chicago, asked for an injunction against picketing of it's plant, directing the action against John Fitzpatrick and William z. Foster of the national strike committe, the South Chicago union council and four pickets. The application will be heard tomorrow The company set forth that it's em- ployes were willing to work, but that several had complained that they had been threatened with bodily harm be- cause of their refusal to strike.

GOMPERS DENOUNCES.
 CUMMINGS R. R. BILL
IF-,pubiloan A. p. Leased wrel


 WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Three of the foremost leaders of organized labor before the senate interestate commerce commission today. denounced in un- qualified terms sections of the Cummins railroad reorganization bill which would prevent railroad workers from striking.
 Samuel Compers, president of the American Federation of Labor; Warren s. Stone, chief of the engineers broth erhood, and Glenn E. Plumb, author of organized labor's solution of the rail- road problem and general counsel for the brotherhoods. in turn presented varying arguments but all emphasizing the single point that in their view no power could constitutionally prevent men leaving work at their will.
 T do not wish to live a single day after that right has been taken away from working men" MT. Corners said with more than touch of indignation. He served notice on the committee that the anti-stri revision, if enacted as law would no be obeyed.
 With a full sense of my resonsibili- ty," he told senators, T say that l should have no hesitancy about partici- pating in a strike after it's passage than do now. It wouldn't stop strikes;
 
 There was considerable reference to the Plumb plan, which provides for government ownership of the railroads and joint operation by the public and employees, when it's author opened his statement. He declared that strikes would be beneficial in the future, be- cause workers would use them to force down prices instead of merely to se- n nf tho Nncf If production, and allowing prices to in crease. Puzzled senatorial question CTS dealt at some length at this theory but it did not shake his conclusion.
 Likewise MT. Plumb made reference to approaching revolution should conservative labor forces not se- cure concessions of the type embodied in his plan, and this occasioned more querying. MT. Stone attacked the Cummins bill in it's entirety. Its com mittee on wages and working condi- tions. he said. was a mere bluff" it cinched bureaucratic contr0l' on the roads; it distorted procedure of the interstate commerce commission in or der to give the commission a mandate to fix rates on the basis of inflated capitalization and it had a transpor. tation board "just to take the blame off guilty railroad officials for denying rights to labor
 Frankly vicious" he said, were it's provisions against strikes in interstate commerce. It contained "an implied repeal of the Adamson eight-hour bilr' and it's division of railroad systems into 25 or 80 systems was illogical and artificial"
 I'm sorry haven't time to go more fully into study of it." he said in closing his analysis and roar ot laughter swept the committee room.

MAY JUN MARINES
 FUR SHORTER TERM

WASHINGTON. Sept. 22.-Officers of the marine corps are now looking forward to a marked increase in the number of enlistments in that branch of the service. due to the fact that President Wilson has directed that en- listments in the marine corps, until June 30 1920 may be for terms of two, three or four years.
 While enlistments in the marine corps have shown a steady increase ln recent months recruiting officers say that men who desired to serve with the marines have declined to en- list for four years and have gone into some other service where the enlist ment period was shorter.
 The following telegram announcing the change was sent to all recruiting officers of the marine corps today .'The president has directed that en- listments in the marine corps until June 30, 1920, may be for terms of two, three and four years and all laws ap- plicable to 4-year enlistment shall ap- ply under such regulations as may be prescribed by the secretary of the navy to enlistments for a shorter period. with proportionate benefits upon discharge and e-enlistment."

 tional headquarters here, said reports received by him dring the day from organizers and others in charge of steel districts, show that 327,100 men are participating in the strike. Ac- cording to his figures 10000 additional men are out in the city of Pittsburg, 5000 more at Braddock and 5000 ad- ditional in Rankin near here. He claims 10000 additional men are out in the Chicago district and 5000 more in the Youngstown district and 5000 more in the Wheeling field. While not giving any figures, corporation repre- sentatives tonight disputed the figures asserting if they were true, many of the districts included in Fosters list would be completely shut down which is not the case.
 The United States Steel corporation, according to reports, has not met with as much success in operating some of the subsidiaries in other parts of Penn sylvania as has the plants of the Car negie company In this immediate vii cininty. In some localities it's smaller works were closed down when it was found insufficient men had reported to keep the plants in successful opera ton. Representatives of the Carnegie interests here declared that this was due to the lack of adequate police pro- tection for men willing to work
 Pittsburg Quiet
 In the immediate Pittsburg district the second day of the wall1out passed quietly. but police authorities were ap- prehensive that when the late night shifts are made there might be more trouble, as there was last night in sev- eral places. Numerous arrests in many localities were made, but there were no serious outbreaks reported during the day.
 Following last nights riot at Farrell, Pa, where one man was killed, there was another disturbance today during which two men were shot. At New Castle. Pa, where seven were wounded last night, the situation was in com plete control of the authorities. Many arrests were made there for minor in fractions of the law.
 Two more troops of the state police were brought to the western part of | the state today and distributed at points where local authorities claimed conditions were unsafe Secretary Foster, of the steel workers commit l tee, charges that much of the disorder is the result of the presence of the state troopers. Today he denounced their alleged action in riding into crowds and injuring innocent persons.
