FIVE KILLED IN STRIKE
BATTLE IN HAMMOND
Police Fire Igto Mob After
Being Attacked.

HAMMOND, Ind, Sept. 9.-Fiye
strikers were killed and fifteen wounded
to-day in a battle between 1000 former
employees of the Standard Steel Car
Company and the police.
Two months ago 1000 workmen at the
plant went on strike for increased wages
and improved working conditions. Five
weeks ago there was a riot In which a
number Of persons were injured and as
result Gov. Goodrich sent a regiment
of State militia to restore order. The
troops were withdrawn about two weeks
ago. Yesterday 200 strikers returned
to work.
To-day when the 200 men were on
their way to work a crowd of 1000
foreign born strikers gathered in the
street several blocks from the plant and
threatened them. Twenty policemen and
twenty special guards employed by the
company were rushed TO the scene and
the crowd was ordered to disperse. The
order was greeted with jeers.
Capt Ben Strong, in charge of the
police, then ordered the leaders of the
mob arrested. When the police at
tempted to execute the command the
crowd attacked the police and special
guards with sticks and stones and sew
eral of the strikers drew revolvers and
fired a number Of shots. according TO
Capt Strong. The police retaliated by
firing into the crowd. killing flve and
wounding fifteen strikers. Later the
strike leaders were arrested.
None OF the policemen or special
guards were wounded in the fight.

SEVEN DAYS FOR CALL
Special Despatch to TIE Sun.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.--The calling
of a nationwide strike of steel work.
ers that would hit a score or more OF
industries of the country has been
postponed, 1t was learned on good au-
thority to-day.
International officers OF twenty-one
OF the twenty-four steel working
unions met in secret conference in
Washington to-day. The reply OF
President Wilson to a message from
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. urging
the Executive to act before to-day and
avoid a strike by bringing about a
conference or some concessions from
tho United States steel Corporation,
was read at this conference. The re-
ply and the action taken were not
made public.
1t was learned from unofficial but
authentic sources that the iron and
steel union officials voted to send an
other message to the President and to
wait forty-eight hours for a favorable
reply.
In the event favorable reply Is not
received in that time. It is stated gen.
eral strike of all the iron and steel
workers Of the nation will be called
The strike would affect not only the
iron and steel mills but the industries
where steel workers are employed. such
as shlpyards and fabricating plants.
The strike situation is in the hands
Of an executive committee OF tve, and
It would take a full seven days to get
the call out, 1t is said.
The conference of international off,
GERS was in session here to-day for
hours. AS general rule those in at
tendance refused to make any comment
on the action taken. It seems certain,
however. that the strike has been post
poned.
The message sent to the President by
Mr.. Gompers last week. gave notice Of
the conference here to-day. 1t urged
the President to secure action before
this time to prevent a strike. as one
would be voted unless a favorable reply
was received. The President, II Is un-
derstood, answered that the situation
NdS very uiSCouTdSiHB, anu urged uelay
until the meeting Of the big labor con-
ference called for October s. The off,
GERS of the steel unions are apparently
unwilling, however. to await that date,
urging that the situation in the steel
trades is critical
A nationwide steel strike at this time
would go far toward upsetting the in
dustrial situation which was settled by
the exchanges between officials of the
American Federation of Labor and of
the railroad workers on the one hand
and the President on the other.
The President assured officers of to-
days conference when they were at the
White House just ten days ago that he
would do everything in his power to
bring settlement OF the issue of recog-
milton by Judge Z. H Gary and officials
of the steel corporation This led to the
belief that he would invite Judge Gary
and others to conferences. Whether
he did or not, or Just what has been
done has not been made public, but it
is apparent that efforts at peaceable
settlement have so far failed.

Vote Of Labor Congress Makes
Sudden Change in It's Atti-
tude in Politics.
LLOYD GEORGE AssAILED
"Direct Action" Leader Says
Government Holds Power
Under False Pretences.
Special cable Despdtch TO The sun.
Copyright. 1913, oil riohta reserped.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-Robert Smillie, the
advocate Of direct action" and head
of the powerful triple alliance" of
| railway. transport and dock workers,
| triumphed to-day over the more con-
servative labor leaders in the Trade
Union Congress in session in Glasgow
! by carrying a majority of the dele
gates with him in his demand for the
introduction of the strike weapon into
politics.
On his demand to refer a vote On d.
rect action back to the members Of
the congress there were 2,5s6.00o bal
lots in favor OF and 1.670,o 900 against
II. This result does not mean the i'm
mediate stoppage OF work to accom-
plish the overthrow OF Parliamentary
Government. but 1t does mean that
the trade unionists' committee upon
Parliamentary affairs. which repeat
edly has opposed an extreme policy,
especially the use OF the strike as a
political weapon, must reconsider the
whole question.
Furthermore II casts some doubt upon
the strength Of the more stable elements
in the trade union congress, whose views
were put forward forcefully by Presi-
dent Burning in mis- opening address
The sudden change in the attitude of
the Glasgow assembly came as a COM
plete surprise. After the moderate tone
used in the opening speeches yesterday
II was hoped that the trade unionists
would listen to the wiser and saner
counsel and put their faith in consti-
tutional methods, but now there can be
no doubt as to the attitude Of the rank
and fle: they take their lead from the
miners, who want naturalization, who
want to use their great organization
with all its tremendous power to die
tate political policy to the British
Government
When Smtllie opened tho debate on
direct action he declared that Premier
Lloyd Georges government holds power
under false pretences and would not
now be in office but for lying statements.
Therefore 1t was the duty of the nation
To take any possible action to overthrow
IL. He asserted that the Governments
action In using soldiers to intervene in
strikes was sufficient alone to justify
direct action, and that there is no
greater labor question in the world than
that of Intervention In Russia, because
men who had become millionaires during
the war wanted to use Russia's enor-
nous resources to flood the British mar
ket later with cheap goods.
The entire labor movement, accord
Ing to Smillie, has developed beyond the
conception OF some leaders or iaDor or
ganization, now, supremely powerful and
confronted at present with hundreds Of
grievances on which It might force the
Government 10 take action.
GLASGOW, Sept. 9.-Cooperation with
international laborites in their cam
paign to procure Germanys admission
to the League OF Nations and for an
immediate revision of "the harsh treaty
provisions. which are inconsistent with
the statements made on behalf OF the
