The special committee of the sen ate, appointed this week to inves- tigate the steel strike situation with a view to ascertaining if congression- al action can be employed to improve conditions and restore peace be- tween the operatives and the steel magnates, began its deliberations this morning.
 One of the first witnesses called before the committee was Chairman Fitzpatrick of the national steel strikers committee, who informed the investigators that there was not a chance to call the strike off now. Three hundred and fifty thousand men, he said, had quit their places because or lHe GeluSdl Ol lHe Sleci companies to grant their demands, and they will not return now, not even if the representatives of the steel corporations should consent to meet the operatives delegates. What the men are seeking now is decent justice from the Government.
