there is to be a maximum production,
Samuel Gompers, president of the Am

n speech read today before the Associ-

must be earned.
Cooperation of workers can be earn
ed only by those employers who deter
mine with the workers the terms and
conditions under which production is
carried.
.'The only way in which workers in
industry may express and defend their
rights and interests is through or9ani-
zation and responsible representatives.
This method insures a feeling of JUS
tice and constructive consideration of
industria' problems.
Urging early ratification Of the
peace treaty, Gompers asserted that
until definite terms of peace are agreed

STEEL MARKET STEADY
IN SPITE Of STRIKE.

New York, Sept. 22.-Thc New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
The accomplished fact of strike in
the steel industry was not a positive fac
tor in today's stock market. Forenoon
business was in lighter volume than on
Saturday or Friday and at rate
throughout barely equivalent if not less
than in most of last weeks sessions
The price tone Vas consistently strong.
1t was gratifying when at midday
word came thnt the Carnegie Steel COM
pany, the Target of the United States
Steel subsidiaries was running at nor
NAL capacity. 1t mattered little stock
marketwise what was taking place in
isolated centers in Ohio, Alabama, Con-
necticut or Colorado. but it did matter
a great deal what was taking place in
the steel METROPOLIS.
The market opening was quiet with
prices steady to firm. As the. session.
progressed there were symptoms of hes
itation and doubt from time to time but
the trend was gradually forward. United
States Steel fluctuated rather idly pc,
tween 101Sand 102. Bethlehem was up
more than point. Crucible advanced,
at one one time nearly six points and
Lackawanna Steel two points. When
ever there was hesitation it was clearly
traceable to the difficulty Of analyzing
the suiation at given moment rather
than to any real doubt, as to the issue
of the strike.
Best prices of the day were reached
in the last hour. Steel rose up to 102A;
Bethlehem Steel to SO and Baldwin to
1879. Business continued lioht. however.
