 Class of Mill Labor.
Gary, Ind. Oct. 1.-About 400 strikers returned to work today at the Indiana Steel Company.

washington, Oct. 1.--Denying that the United States Steel Corporation las mistreated it's men, as charged by nnion labor leaders, Judge Ebert H. Cary. chairman of the corporation, tola the senate committee inyestigat- ,np the steel strike today that in his oninion there was no basic industry in the world which had paid higher ~ages than his company
 Ut has been stated before this com ,nittee.n said Judge Gary, ''That the steel companies have been guilty of in treatment of their employees. Some statements have been made on misln- Formation and some absolutely with out foundation.
 All Charges Denied.
 ..r wish to state, Mir. Chairman, that there is no basic industry in this country. nor in the world, in my opin- iou. which has paid larger wages than inc United States Steel Corporation, and perhaps not as large nor has treated their employees in greater re- spect and consideration, if as great.
 Tt has been charged that during the bending strike the subsidiary com panies have been guilty of attacking and mistreating employees.
 There isn't vestige of truth in that statement. Photographs were displayed here, and 1t was said a woman was killed. This photograph has been posted all over America, with 2 line over it. Mrs. Fannie Sellins body ghoulishly mistreated by the steel trusts fiendish crew.
 No Works There.
 "She was shot at Breckenridge, Pa. We have no works there. If she was killed, it was without even the knowl- edge of the steel corporation or any of it's employees"
 Hasn't your company investigated that matter, in view of the charge 2" asked Chairman Kenyon.
 "The verdict of the coroner's jury sade it certain that no agent of ours had the remotest connection with her death" said the witness.
 T have the certified copy of that verdict" said Senator Phipps, Repub- lican. Colorado. 'I'll file that"
 we have discussed the incident with some of our people, Judge Gary resumed, mot because we thought they might be guilty, but for informa tion Our orders and OUT policy are against any activity which could lead to anything of that kind"

Real H1fn1Or is
K z yfl O e in
80 East Play

Constance Binney and Henry
Hull. together with a very capable
cast Of co-players are presenting a
delightful little play at the Oliver.
Last night small audience was on
hand; today promises to bring
greater numbers.
"39 East" bears the indelible
stamp of its author Rachel Croth-
ers mas the vert happy faculty Of
cutting through life and showing a
cross section OF a given strata with
keen penetration. just a little satire
and ever so much real humor. And
incidentally, whether you like "39
East" very much is largely a ques-
ton Of whether YOU like Miss Croth-
ers' kind of plays.
That elusive yet vital thing called
atmosphere" and characterization
are two such dominant things in
"39 East" that a stickler for action
and yet more action, especially in
his comedy, may occasionally grow
impatient yet it is difficult TO con
ceive how anything so skilful as
the characterization and the at
mosphere" in "39 East" as presented
by the present company could evoke
anything but the warmest enthusi-
asm. Breakfast in one of those very
respectable New York boarding
houses is something of a function.
and II is reproduced 10 the life, one
is forced 70 believe, by the Messrs.
Shubert and their players. Tech
nically the first and third acts of
"39 East are not at all easy of &C
complishment but their presentation
is exceedingly satisfying.
Miss Binney is a charming little
actress, with scarcely the appeal OF
Miss Collinge. perhaps, but neverthe.
less quite convincing in her portray
al Of Penelope Penn. Her one oppor-
tunity to dance revealed a remark
able grace and lent certain versa
tility to the role. She was capably
seconded by Henry Hull, a good
looking actor chap who plays the
part OF an outstanding square fell
low and a most ardent lover.
Each Of the additional characters
was presented very distinctively, AL
lison Skipworth. as Mrs. DeMailly
Blanche FREDERICK and Lucia Moore
presented highly diverting charac-
terizations. Edith Gresham and
Mildred Arden did the Clarence sis
ters admirably and even the maids
and the park policeman injected
some distinctiveness into their com
paratively meager allotments.
"39 East" is an admirable exam
pie of the effectiveness of truth sim
ply told but with minute accuracy
and will be enjoyed as a play which
hits it's mark without straining for

less the government says we should
do it,"
When the conference failed 10
agree OH either sides proposition,
the operators suggested referring
the dispute TO arbitration. but the
miners objected. The operators
proposed a tribunal of nine mem
bers to be chosen in one Of three
different ways:
Each side to pick four members
and the eight to select the umpire:
each side 10 name four and the
president of the United States the
ninth: or each side TO name three
and the other three to be chosen by
the president.
Submits Proposal.
The counter proposition from the
miners, scaling down their earlier
demands, was submitted by John L.
Lewis, acting president of the Unit
ed Mine Workers, after he had con-
ferred with Secy Wilson. Mr.,
Lewis stated that the new demand
for a 40 per cent wage advance for
all sorts Of work represented the
margin" between the wage in
creases received by the miners
since 1914 and the jump taken by
living costs.
The mine workers also insisted
that all local differences not COW
cred by interstate agreement be re-
ferred back 10 the districts In which
they originated for settlement.
The coal situation was discussed
today by Attorney General Palmer,
Fuel Administrator Garfield and Di-
rector General Hines Of the railroad
administration. Or. Garfield said
they would meet again Monday. II
is understood that drastic plans were
agreed upon, if necessary, to bring
the coal strike 10 an end and that
these plans would be laid before the
ca binet Tuesday.
Refuses Power.
Dr. Garfield emphasized in a tel
eg~am to Gov Harding OF Iowa re-
tusing TO delegate the power of fix
ing coal prices 10 state executives
that the federal government intend
ed 20 retain control of the strike sit
uation. In official circles it was said
that action by the states at this time
would greatly embarrass the at
tempt 20 reach a settlement here.
Or. Garheld's message was taken to
mean that governors could not
change the wage scale in an effort
10 get the miners back TO work, as
the fuel administration refused to
allow increases in maximum coal
prices TO meet increased cost of pro-
duction.
Announce Embargo.
An embargo on export OF anthra-
cite coal. effective today, was an
nounced tonight by the fuel admin
istration. The order directed that
no anthracite coal produced in the
United States shall be sold. shipped
or distributed except 10 dealers or
consumers and for use and con
sumption within the United States,
its insular possessions and Canada. 80
AS any contract negotiated by the
Miners and operators must be ap-
proved by Dr. Garfield Before going
into effect. some OF the operators
contend today no further wage ad-
vance could be offered. without di-
rect authority from the fuel admin
istrator.
