E. H. GARY DENIES CHARGES
Steel Corporation Head Testifies Be-
fore Senate Committee Inves-
tieatlng Strike.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Denying that
the United States Steel corporation
had mistreated its men, as charged
by union labor leaders, Judge Elbert
H. Gary, chairman of the corporation,
told the senate committee investigat-
ing the steel strike that in his opinion
there was no basic industry in the
world which had paid larger wages
than his company.
There is no reason for this strike"
Mr.. Gary said. 1.-The men didn't want
It. They were satisfied with their jobs.
1t was the union leaders who wanted
the strike"
eff unions control industry in the
United States 1t means decay and a
dropping of Of production" Mr.. Gary
told the committee.
"It means this country cannot keep
up in the race with the world. 1t
means the condition 1 fear England is
in today"
'Tt has been stated before the COM
mittee," said Judge Gary, that the
steel companies have been guilty of
iII-treatment Of their employees. Some
statements have been made on misin-
formation and some absolutely with
out foundation.
81 wish to state, Mr.. Chairman, that
there is no basic industry in this coun-
try, nor in the world, in my opinion,
which has paid larger wages than the
United States Steel corporation, and
perhaps not as large, nor has treated
their employees in greater respect and
consideration If as great"

GREAT BRITISH
STRIKE AT END
Rail Workers and Premier Lloyd
George Reach a
Compromise.
TO RESUME WORK AT ONCE
Settle Wage Row by NoVember-Pub.
lis Is Passive-"lt Had to Be Set
tied" Was the General Com
ment on Street.

London, Oct. GA truce was nego-
dated in the greatest industrial strug-
gle in the history of Britain when
Premier Lloyd George and Andrew
Bonar Law, for the government
reached a compromise with the rail-
way mems union and the intermedi-
ary union representatives at a confer
ence at 10 Downing street,
The men agreed to return to work
forthwith pending negotiations Of the
wage status under the guarantee that
there will be a settlement by October
81, and conditionally upon the govern
ment's guarantee that there will be
no reduction in wages before Septem-
Der 80, 1920.
The men received the additional
guarantee from the government that
no railway workers are to receive less
than about $12.30 weekly instead of
about $40 paid them before the war
as long as the cost of living is not less
than ITO per cent above the pre-war
level.
Slaves Off Crisis.
This agreement slaves off the great
est Industrial crisis the British no
ton has ever known-the worst crisis
Of any time except war in the past
century.
The two warning sides have met
each other half way.
The government has yielded to the
strikers insistance by guaranteeing
to keep up wages. The railmen yield
ed by returning to work pending the
stabilizing Of wages.
Meanwhile the crisis in the negoti-
| atoms is only postponed until the end
Of the month, but the situation is such
| that it is believed an agreement is
| likely at that time, in which case the
controversy will be delayed a whole
year.
Both sides were mobilizing the en-
| tire nation for the bitterest trades I'M
ion struggle known to the English
speaking races. All British unions
had prepared to meet Tuesday to de-
clare general strike, and the govern
ment was marshaling citizens army
and all civic authorities, at the same
time holding back of these the armed
| strength Of the country.
| However, the danger on labor's side
Of the unions being destroyed through
the suffering public, made their po-
sition untenable, and the peril on the
governments side of paralyzing in
| dustry just recovering from war, and
also of precipitating a revolution
through the use of armed forces and
alternating 100000 unionists, the bet
ter half of the country's labor rank
and file were so great that both sides
saw the wisdom of a settlement.
Had to Be Settled.
Also, there is doubt whether the
government could have counted upon
the army for full support in this in
dustrial struggle, most of the soldiers
being workers themselves.
News of the settlement spread like 9
fame throughout London. The crowds
walking about the streets in the drat
atmosphere OF a typical English Octo
Der day took it so quietly one NIGH
have thought they expected it al
along.
"It had to be settled" one man sale
to another, who replied: "Of cours,

STEEL WORKERS BACK
MILLS IN CHICAGO DISTRICT
OPERATING AT so PER CENT.
Union Leaders Deny Plants Are Doing
Halt of Normal Business-5,ooo
Back at Gary.

Chicago, Oct. 3-The steel mills Of
the Chicago district, crippled for near
ly two weeks by general strike, oper-
ated at 80 per cent Of their normal ca
pacity. according to United States
Steel corporation representatives.
Large Increases in the working forces
Of virtually all mills in the district
were reported by the companies. Gains
of more Importance were predicted for
tomorrow. Belief that the strike of
steel workers has failed, so far as the
Chicago district Is concerned, was gen.
eral in circles sympathetic with the
employers. Union leaders denied the
statement that the mills we're doing
half their normal business, and in
sisted that the strikers were as strong
as ever. The appearance Of the mills
belled the unions claims, however.
Though still closed to visitors, the
plants bore all the signs of activity.
Half the stacks were smoking and
most of the furnaces were going. At
Gary the steel mills reported that
5000 of the 1900 men who walked out
when the strike was called have re-
turned to work. The South Chicago
mills Of the Illinois Steel company
were lighted up for the first time since
the walkout.
Canvassers at Indiana Harbor said
majority of the 1000 strikers there
had slgnified willingness to go back.
Members of the works council of the
Wisconsin Steel company, an Interna-
tional Harvester subsidiary at Indiana
Harbor, called for a vote on a pro-
posal that the plant be reopened.

Judge Gary, appearing before the
senate committee on labor, made it
clear that there is no hope of arbitra-
tion or other amicable settlement of
the strike, for the United States Steel
corporation intends to fight the unions
to a finish. He said the issue is the
open shop against the closed shop, in
volving the right of employers to hire
whom they please; that the closed
shop is immoral, meaning decreased
production, higher prices and national
decay; that the Steel corporation will
never recognize the unions or contract
with them, and that it will never deal
with union leaders as such. He de-
clared the corporation does not object
to its employees organizing, and is will
ing at all times to grant them hearings
concerning grievances. He told of the
wages paid the employees and what
the corporation has done in the way
of housing them. The average wages,
excluding administration and selling
forces, have advanced from. $2SS on
July 1, 1914, to $627 on July 1, 1919.
Judge Gary was followed on the
stand by William 2. Foster. who is
considered by many as the real leader
Of the strike.
