GARY ANARCHY HOTBED !
MAJ. GEN. WOOD SAYS REDS
DUPED STEEL WORKERS.
Colonel Mapes Says If Evidence Was
Published Strike in Mills
Would End at Once.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, commanding the central de
partment of the United States army,
went to Gary and took personal charge
of the rounding up of reds who are
running away with the steel strike.
Il indorse all Colonel Mapes has
told you," he said to the newspaper
correspondents. This place is hot
bed of anarchy. believe that the
workingman is loyal, but the red ele-
ment has seized upon this strike stu
alton as a good place for the open
ing wedge for their propaganda of vio-
lence and destruction"
There have been many threats that
the wives and children of workers Will
be made to suffer If the men do not
join the strikers. Also. complaints
were made to the police that men
wearing masks and long robes have
stopped them in the streets at night
and. threatened dire things If they did
not strike at once.
The reply of Colonel Mapes to these
tactics was a series Of raids on req
houses, shops and poolrooms. Forty
two places were raided at night and
IS men arrested, of whom 16 are in
Jail. marked ''hold for the military.
Colonel Mapes says they will be sent
to Indianapolis and deported. All are
alien reds.
The raids were renewed. The sol
diers began making their descents on
the places marked as hiding places OF
radicals. 1t is the beginning Of
definite and determined campaign tC
put the reds out of business.
IF the evidence we collected in raids
were revealed" said Colonel Mapes
''the sudden termination of the stee
strike would be the result"
Colonel Mapes refused to reveal the
evidence.
The natural inference is that the
military has found documentary evi
dence the strike was brought abou
by the same radical element which {
few days ago circulated handbills call
ing on the workers" to overthrow th'
United States army and seize the gov
ernment.

Declares Government Of the United
States Is solidIy Anchored In the
Heart Of Every True Ameri-
can. In Answer 10 loree.

Washington, Oct. 2O.-Samuel Com
pers. weak from several days OF Ill
ness, took the floor at the national In
dustrial conference to bitterly assail
an insinuation that the wOrkingmen Of
the United States planned an attempt
TO overthrow the government.
Mr.. Gompers was moved to what
was called the most eloquent speech
Of the conference by the remarks OF
l.. II. Loree, who, speaking from the
viewpoint Of the employers, referred
to what he said were attempts of boil
shevism to gain foothold in the Uni
ted States through labor.
He added that "there is an element
that believes that because 1t was easy
to tear down the established govern
ment in Russia it will be easy to destroy
the government of the United States.
"'rhat is not true" he asserted. "In
Russia the government was centered
in one car and his ministers. but the
government OF the United States Is
solidly anchored in the heart of every
true American
When Loree, who Is president Of the
Delaware 4 Hudson railroad, said
that labor took advantage of the most
critical period Of the recent war to
force important concessions from the
war labor board. Mr.. Gompers rose to
his feet.
Speaking in n weak voice the feder-
alton president recalled the confer
ence OF 1886 labor leaders on March IL,
1917. at which labor pledged itself,
three weeks before President Wilson
asked for n declaration Of war. to
back the government to the limit, come
what might.
-And American labor made good its
pledge" he added hoarsely.
Plainly drawing on his reserve oi
strength-lessened by several days OF
niness-the veteran labor leader re
ferred with scorn to Mr.. Loree's in
situations That labor had enjoyed un
due benefits from the war.
-Ah. we should go to the great cor
pOrations. to the board Nof directors tC
ind the phllanthroplsts Of our time
he exclaimed sarcastlcally. Perish
the thought"
Asserting that, whether you like Il
or not, the masses OF labor of the Uni
ted States have at last found thell
ability to articulate through orgnnlza
tion," Mr.. Gompers told the delegate,
mat the laboring people are producing
the wealth OF the world and that. with
out minimizing the great contribution,
made by men Of thought and direction
to that production, the time had com,
when In America labor was determined
to gain fair share of the rewards.

FEW MOREPOINTS
ARE IRONED out
Capital and Labor Committee Of
IS Act to Attain
Unity.
TWO CHANGES ARE MADE
Points of Difference at Trade Farley
Are Fast Observation-Disclosures
Work Throughout Sunday to
Get Report Ready.

Washington, Oct. 2O.-A few more
points of difference between capital
and labor over the definition of collec-
tive bargaining were whitfield out by
the committee of fifteen of the indus
trial conference. The proposed COM
promise will be submitted to both
groups separately to determine how
they stand on the concessions.
The labor group reported it could not
support one amendment in the tenta-
tive series. 1t embodies the proposal
of the employers group that an EN-
ployer has recognized right "to deal
or not to deal with men or groups of
men who are not his employees and
chosen by and from among them"
This is at the bottom of the contro-
versy.
Labor's Concessions End.
Frank Morrison of the labor group
told the conferees that organized labor
had conceded as much as it could in
this direction by supporting the second
paragraph of the original Russell-E En-
dicott resolution on collective bargain
ing.
So the paragraph stands as original
ly written-it stipulates that group
bargaining must not be understood
as limiting the right of any wage earn
er to refrain from joining any organ
ization or to deal directly with his
employer if he so chooses"
The first paragraph of the original
declaration-the one supported by the
public and labor blOcs-as it now
stands in committee, has been split
into four segments, each of which
states a specific right Of wage earnerS
in reference to organizing and to nego
tiating and bargaining
i Two interpretations have been made
One deals with the right Of workers
to organize in trade and labor union:
land in shop councils and other Lawful
industrial associations
The words inside quotation mark,
form the amendment. Capital is fight
ing for this in recognition of the indus
trial representation form of plant gov
ernment which has been established il
more than fOrty-five large industrial
plants and in scores of lesser concerns
within the last few years, especial.
since the armistice.
Labor is throwing its emphasis ol
recognition of unions as the agenc
for bargaining, while capital is de
manding that plant councils, or wha
organized labor terms "compan
unions be given at least equal recoe
milton.
Leaders in the public groups declar
that capital and labor will come to a
adjustment on this question withou
much trouble.
Capital Indorses Amendment.
Another amendment asserts th
right Of wage earners to be represen
. ed by representatives "chosen>by ms
2 jority of the workers themselves
This is substitute for the phrase
f; the original allowing men to be repr,
sented by men ''of their own choo
; ing"

!; against outside interference, particV
: larly on the part of militant minor
