CLAIM $4,000 STEEL
WORKERS ARE NOW IDLE

Pittsburgh, Sept. 30.-The steel
workers strike, so far as the Pitts
burgh district is concerned, drifted
along today without any important
change. The unions claim they are
holding their men together and are
constantly gaining more into their
ranks. The steel companies. on the
contrary, say they are getting more
workers into the plants because or
the desire Of men to work and to
the good police protection afforded
them.
While both sides are working to
increase their respective 70, ces. there
Is a belief in some quarters that no
break can be looked for until after
the industrial conference which open ;
at Washington next Monday. The
hope is expressed here that some
thing tangible will come out of the
conference to bring an end to the
strike satisfactory to both sides.
There are more organizers in the
Pittsburgh district now, according to
labor leaders, than at any other time
since the big walk out started nine
days ago. Virtually every one or
the "a unions involved has sent its
own organizers into the field and
claims are made that hundreds OF
men are being taken into the organ.

Steel companies that give out In
formation continue to maintain that
the situation from their standpoint
Is slowly but steadily improving.

Figures were given out for the first
time in nearly a week. It was said
that approximately $4,000 stee,

to day. Although number of sena-
tors will make set speeches. this week
none on the list has announced that
he will discuss the Fall amendments
and. after the exhaustive address OF
the senator from New Mexico, ii
would not be surprising to see a de-
mand for q vote on them at any time.
1t is the plan to vote on all of them at
one time and Democratic leaders de-
clared tonight that there was abso-
lutely no chance Of their adoption.
In denying charges that filibuster-
ing tactics had been attempted to de-
lay final disposition Of the treaty,
Senator Lodge said it was the great
est question that ever came before
the Senate and it would be kept
steadily before it. There would be no
filibuster so far as he was concerned,
said Senator Lodge, who gave
warning that attempt to cut off dis
cussion would Of itself lead to a ali-
buster.
Discussing his amendments. Sena-
tor Fall declared that the repara-
tons committee had more power
than ever was vested in the Kaiser,
and that even Carranza by decree
could not attempt to exert as much.
Should the United States accept full
representation on this commission,
it would have to back up it's repre-
sentative with an army. Under this
amendment the American represent
alive could vote only on questions
relating only to shipping unless he
was specifically authorized by Con-
gress.
Senator Fall announced that later
he would ask for a vote in the Sen
ate on an amendment proposed by
him in the foreign relations commit
tee and never acted on. which would
strike out, the treaty provision for an
international labor organization. He
would also move, he added, to amend
that part Of the treaty relating to
mandates, even when they agreed
to division of the mandate country"
President Wilson's mind was SO
wrapped up Sin his great vision" of
the league, Senator Fall said, that
he had failed to give thought to how
it might affect the people of the
United States.

CATHOLIC PRIEST CITES
BIBLICAL EXAMPLES
TO JUSTIFY STRIKERS

Youngstown, Ohio, Sept. 30-Near-
ly 1000 striking steel workers at an
open-air meeting heidi at public
park here today heard Rev. Father
E. A. Kirby of the Girard Catholic
church, cite Biblical examples to
justify strikes and declare that II
the corporation and the government
will not start the mills. the men
themselves must take over the plants.
Father Kirby declared that Moses
was the first strike leader and that
he "organiZed nationwide strike
against the war lords of Egypt and
delivered his people from oppression"
incidentally" he said. 1.-The Bible
passes mildly over the incident where
one Of Pharoah's constabulary was
beating up a striker"
The pastor declared that the steel
strike is "only a skirmish in the
struggle for human progress and real
democracy"
S. ]. Rockosz. former president of
the Polish National Alliance. and
several local lasor leaders also
spoke. There was no demonstration
and no disorder.
In conclusion Father Kirby said:
You will win and the magnates
and slave drivers of the steel corpor-
alton must go as the Caesars Of the
political autocracy have gone. If
they refuse to start the mills in the
hope of breaking down your morale
by starvation then the public will
demand that the government start
them. II the government will not.
then you yourselves must take them
over under the government until
these Bourpons learn another lesson"
The Ohi0 works of the Carnegie
Steel Co. remains the only spot in
the Mahoning Valley where there is
evidence of any activity. Indications
point to an attempt to reopen the
mill in part at least within the next
lew days.
The exodus Of foreigners from
East Youngstown, which is largely
made up of aliens. is continuing.
Leaders among the foreigners say
that more than 1000 have already left,
hoping to get passage abroad. They
are said to be mostly Roumanians,
and Croatians.
Another meeting of strikers from
the Farrell and Sharon districts in
Pennsylvania will be held tomorrow,
Just across the Ohio line, it was an
