OHIO STATE GUARD
MOBILIzED FOR DUTY
Soldiers Are Sent to Camp
Sherman to Get Three
Machine Guns.
OLD MILITIA IN ARMORIEs
Ready for Possible Trouble at
Steubenville and Other
Strike Points.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. as.-The Ohio
National Guard Of twelve infantry and
three auxiliary companies was mobilized
for possible duty. supposedly at steuben-
VILE.
The order is stated to have been issued
to keep good faith with Gov. Cornwell
Of West Virginia, who has been fear
ing an invasion of that State by
steubenville and Mingo strikers, who,
II was reported, were slated to march
tomorrow to Weirton, W. Va. to urge
steel workers there to quit work.
Adjt.-Gen. Layton held conference
tonight at his office with Col. Benson
w. Hough of Delaware, Ohio, who has
been organizing companies of the old
Fourth Ohio and other Ohio guard Off
GERS. Most of them were In uniform.
Hough, 1t was learned, was placed In
command of the troops. 1t became
known that men were sent to-day to get
three machine guns from Camp Sher-
man.
If the action was taken on account
OF the Steubenville situation, 1t devel-
oped tonight there probably would have
been no need for 1t. It may be, how
ever, that other possible contingencies
are In the minds OF the State authorities.
Ohio State guard companies tonight
were modified at their armories. 1t is
not known whether they will be demobll-
lied after the Steubenville situation set
ties or whether they will be held for
other possible eventualities In connection
with the nation wide steel strike.

OHIO VALLEY MILLS
WON'T RESTART NOW
Unions Send Organizers to
Pennsylvania Plants.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Sept. 2s.-with
every steel mill In the Mahoning VAL
ley closed and none OF the companies
planning attempts to operate, interest
in the steel strike here has shifted to
the situation In other districts. At strike
headquarters tonight It was said that
many Of the organizers from here have
been sent to Pennsylvania
Were going to flood Pennsylvani MIA
with organizers and see IL we can't an
mex 1t to the United States" said ]. Z.
McCadden, secretary IN charge. He as
serted that reports had been received
from across the State line that union
men were being held up and robbed oil
their cards and even their money.
An organizer just returned from Far
rell, Pa, asserted that the mills there
are closed tight and likely to remain
that way. While u. 8. Grose. superin-
tendent Of the Ohio works of the Car,
Regie Steel Company here, announced
that no attempt will be made to operate
that plant tomorrow, organizers sas
they are taking no chances and will have
young army OF pickets at tho mill
in the morning.
Youngstown and its environs remain
as peaceful as though no strike were In
progress.
Strikers officers praised the attitude
OF the police authorities here, who they
said were cooperating In maintaining
order.

GOMPERS PREDICTS
STRIKERS WILL WIN
He Asserts That Public Sym
pdtisy Is With Them.

Samuel Gompers left for Washington
last night after two days spent at his
headquarters here. expressing the belief
that the steel workers would win their
strike, He reviewed the position of FL
bert W. Gary OF the United States Steel
Corporation and said he was certain pub
lie sympathy leaned toward the workers
Defending William z. Foster. secretary
OF the steel workers union. whose writ
ings on syndicalism have been attacked
In Congress. Mr.. Gompers said: You
have not heard either Foster or Fitz-
patrick making any revolutionary
speeches In this strike. Both of these
men renounced those preachings years
ago.
No group Of men, such as are rep
resented by Judge Gary, can rob the
workers of the benefits of the new order
OF things" he continued. THE time is
past when corporation can regard its
employees as its wards. The workers of
the world have awakened to their right
to enjoy fair play. The steel workers
viii win because their cause is just"
Mr.. Gompers said he expects the steel
strike will get a full hearing at the
Washington Industrial conference Oc-
tober 8, but he indicated that he looks
for decisive developments before that
body meets. He challenged Mr.. Gary's
statement that the union men did not
represent all of the workers, and said IL
Mr.. Gary had been willing to meet the
union committee he could have learned
to what extent they controlled the situa-
tion.

OPPOSES STRIKERS


milk have been concentrated. Only q
few trains were moved into or out Of the
city, manned by volunteers. Two Majors
Of the regular army offered to act as
engineer and fireman of a train going
to Scotland.
Following the advice OF the railway
mems leaders the other unions have de-
cided TO walt a few days before Joining
them. II is possible that large num-
ber Of workers In other lines of work
which are affected by the strike will re-
main away from their places of employ
ment- Meanwhile the Government Is

resumption of traffic with volunteers un-

tieup seems to have rendered picketing
needless and this common source OF
friction, therefore, Is lacking. More
over, the strike leaders have been con-
stantly impressing the men with the i'm
portance of keeping order.
There were informal conferences OF
the Cabinet Ministers to-day and meet
ings of the executive of the National
Union of Railwaymen and the railway
managers The managers are endeav-
oripg to run skeleton services wherever
possible, with the special aim of meeting
as far as possible the needs Of London's
suburbs and near by seaside and holiday
resorts. For this purpose a few men
are still willing to work and volunteers
from the railway clerical STATS have
been employed.
James Henry Thomas. secretary Of the
union, declares firmly against widening
the issue unless compelled to do SO, and
will only call a strike In ireland and
ask the assistance Of the Triple Indus
trial Alliance II he finds he Is unable to
fight the railway question unaided.
The effects of the railway stoppage
already have been seen In notices issued
at some places closing down mines and
other Industrial establishments.
Robert Smillle, the miners leader,
speaking at Glasgow tonight, said that
within few days 90 per cent. of the
miners would be idle, because all Indus
tries were SO interlinked.' He was de-
sirous that there should be no ground
given to the Government for using
armed forces against the people.
Let us keep our heads" he urged,
land be passive ressters as far as pos
sible and not allow the Government to
stampede us into giving them the op-
portunty of shooting down our people"
The Food Controller closed Hyde Park
to the public tonight, explaining that
this step was necessary to facilitate
supplying London with milk.
The food distribution in London dur
ing the crisis has been placed under
the control of woman-Miss Eleanor
Hopwood-who has long been Assistant
Commissioner In the Ministry of Food
and was previously secretary to a big
commercial firm.
Miss Hopwood takes an optimistic
view. She is not worried about the
strike and the public need not worry, in
her view. she being confident that the
strikers will be defeated. Like other
officials, she says the Governments ap-
peal for volunteers to operate 1he rail-
ways and other essential services of the
country is meeting with a big response.
This has been so satisfactory. accord
ing to official statements, that 1t is ex-
peoted the railways will be running with
volunteer STATS within few days. 1t
Is announced that a skeleton service, to
deal with the most pressing passenger
traffic, will start on most lines to-mor-
row. Schedules of these services in the
London area have been issued.
A train brought to London from the
west of England this evening about 49,
600 gallons Of milk and returned crowded
with passengers. One of the officers in
control of the Hyde Park distribution
says that the scheme now in operation
is one of those prepared during the war
in case of an invasion by the Germans.

SOFT COAL MINERS
GET ANSWER TO-DAY
Operators Will Deny Increase,
but LeaUe Door Open.

BUFFALO, Sept. 2s.-Soft coal oper-
ators of the central competitive field will
submit at to-morrow mornings session
Of the joint conference OF operators and
miners their reply to the demands of
the miners for so per cent increase
In pay. a six hour day and five day
week. After the reply Ia read 1t In
probable the miners will ask for an ad-
journmeAt to consider It.
The operators completed the drafting
of the document to-day. but no inkling
OF its contents was known outside their
circle. Following the procedure of pre-
vious conferences the miners naturally
would expect counter proposals, but
there were intimations to-day that the
operators might take the stand that the
demands OF the men are SO eXtraordi-
nary that II would be impossible to
grant them and continue the operation
of the mines and that their reply to-
morrow merely would state reasons why
they must be rejected, thus leaving II
to the miners to restate their original
/ demands or to modify them IL they
saw fit.
| None of the operators would admit to-
/ day that the reply would be a 1at re-
| lection OF the scale proposed by the
| United Mine Workers convention. All
| that was known about the document was
| that It was brief and that 1t would not
close the door to further negotiations.
The leading operators continued to in
sist that the so per cent. increase sought
would double the cost OF soft coal and
that not enough could be mined on a
six hour day and Ave day week basis to
| provide a normal supply.
At the opening of to-morrow's session
resolutions Of regret will be submitted
! on the deaths of John p. Recce. an opera
| tor, and the late John Mitchell, former
president of the United Mine Workers
Acting President Lewis OF the United
Mine Workers, replied tonight to a

Association at Washington, to the effeci

ment was open to different interpreta-
| tion than that placed on It by the Ma
/ tional Coal Association, and that the
/ miners had shown great patience In
waiting for a year after the signing OF
! the armistice to seek an Issue on the
wage question.
"The statement that the advance IN
wages we ask for would mean that the
| public must pay an additional billion
dollars a year for the same amount OF
coal consumed In previous years is pre-
posterous exaggeration," Lewis said
with reform In methods OF distribution
and curtailment Of excess profits by the
operators only small percentage OF the
wage increase should show In the added
cost a ton to the consumer,
"Ths average wage Of the miner Is IS

IS day. which is the rate in many In
dustries less hazardous than that OF the

Special Gable Despatch TO THE Sun and the

Copyright. 1919 all rights reserUed.
LoNpoN, Sept. 2S.-The success or
failure of the British railway strike in
large measure hinges on the supply of
food and petroleum.
There is a fourteen weeks supply of
food in the country, the bulk being fairly
well distributed through the population
centres.
OF petrol there is a nine weeks sup
ply. The weekly consumption of petrol
Is 11,000 tons, and three weeks supply
Is distributed In inland centres and ia
available for Immediate usage.
The coal situation Is satisfactory.
The vital question of the strike there
fore Is how long can the strikers hold
out. They have about $4,000 900 avail
able which they can draw upon for the
benefit of between 100000 and 100000
workers. Put into living expenses on
basis of strike benefits that is about
| enough to run twelve days, SO they must
win within a fortnight or go down in
defeat in their gigantic struggle.
Major-Gen. Henry Worth Thornton,
formerly OF the Long Island Railway, is
| active In card indexing soldiers and exc
service men for taking the places of the
strikers. Thomas. Cramp and other
labor leaders declare this will not avail.
as they have been assured of the partic-
ipation of transport workers, taxicab
and business drivers in the strike within
| seventy-two hours.
James Stockley, X. C. Of Broadstairs,
who is a daily commuter to London
! has offered himself to the Government
as a fireman. He advocates public
meetings all over England to enroll

New Squad of Troopers on

BUFFALO, Sept. 2s.-Although Official
ly denied, a rumor that an attempt
would be made tomorrow to open three
steel plants in the Buffalo district had
gained such credence among the strik-
ers tonight that city and State police
officials made preparations to double
their forces on duty In the morning.
Union leaders announced that they
would have pickets at the gates of the
Lackawanna. Donner and Rogers-Brown
plants early tomorrow. Police officials
said that there would be no interference
with the pickets so. long as they kept
moving and did not attract crowds TO
the vicinity OF the steel plants gates.
Chief ellison of the Lackawanna police
force said tonight that the rumors OF
reopening OF the LaolSawanna plant had
been so widely circulated that he ex-
pected the strikers would attempt to
congregate at the plant gates tomorrow
Tho chief ordered every member OF the
city police force to report at A NJ
while the State police, increased to-day
by an additional Squad OF troopers. will
also be on duty.
Officials OF the steel companies said
tonight that they had no plans to re-
sumo operations in the morning.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.-An agree
ment between the federated Railroad
Shop Unions, representing nearly half
a million railroad shopmen In the
United States, and the Railroad Ad-
ministration covering working condi-
tions will bc signed probably in the
next day or two. This agreement def
nitely will end the spectre Of a nation
wide railroad strike, which was threat
ened in August when half dozen or
more railroad strikes were declared
in various sections Of the United
States and negotiations between the
Railroad Administration and the shop
men were dropped.
The agreement has been practically
completed. Officials of the Railroad
Administration and of the railway de-
partment OF the American Federation
Of Labor expected to have It signed
before the end OF last week. but action
was delayed by the electrical workers.
officials Of the electrical workers in
ternational union were kept away by a
rational convention.
There are no longer any principal
matters In dispute and officials of the
shopmen's organization are pleased
with the results obtained, the increase
of four cents an hour allowed in the
fight in which the administration broke
Off negotiations several weeks ago.
The President promised reduction In
the cost Of living and called the Indus
trial conference which will meet here
the first OF next week.
Railroad Administration officials say
that the agreement will not hold be-
yond Government control of the rail-
roads which will end December 81, but
representatives of the unions express
the fullest confidence that it will be
continued in effect.
The document carries no general pro-
vision for a wage increase. but Il
makes adjustments of hours and work
ing conditions. which will result in
slight increases for certain classes of
shop employees which will put them on
parity with other railroad workers.
These changes are made only to end
inequalities, however.

department OF the American Federation
OF Labor. and Martin F. Ryan. mem
ber of the executive council OF the de-
partment. ire quoted as saying that
the contract is the greatest ever made
by a labor organization. giving the most
