IS MISREPRESENTATION

ENROUTE WITH GOVERNOR
COX, PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 22-
Governor Cox, beginning his first in
vasion Of New Jersey today, was con.
sidering counter moves against what
he believes, is an eleventh-hour at
tempt of Elihu Root, backed by Sena.
tor Harding, to stem the tide he says
has swept toward his candidacy.
After reading Roots reply to his
telegram demanding that the repub
| lican leader retract his statement
that "Mr. Cox wants the league just
as Mr.. Wilson negotiated it," the
governor said the apparent objective
of this movement is to misrepresent
his attitude on reservations from now
until election day.
Cox believes that Root is endeav-
oring to create "the false issue" Of
the league as written versus the
league with the Lodge reservations.
He said he noted similar tactics in
Harding's Rochester speech.
Suddenly the republicans, after
their candidate has declared in favor
Of rejection of the league, begins
talking of the Lodge reservations" F"
he said Senator Lodge did not
write an endorsement Of his reser-
vations into the republican platform,
and at no time during his somer-
saulting on this issue has Senator
Harding declared in favor Of them.
IF the child is abandoned by its
own father, shall not consider my
self duty bound to act as it's guar.
dian," said Cox.
1t is probable that Cox will issue
a statement in reply to Root later
in the day.

The governments move followed
announcement Of call for a general
meeting of the trades union congress
to consider what should be done to
secure a settlement OF the miners de

Taken in connection with the an
OF transport workers yes
fterday that failure To Immediately re
sumo negotiations with the miners
will array the government against the
working classes. the call today was
accepted as yelled threat that all
British Tabor will consider joining the
miners.
The congress comprises delegates
from all labor unions.
Prior to the call, the parliamentary
committee of the congress served no
tice on the government that negotia-
tions with the miners MUST be re-
sumed before tonight, or the meeting
would be held. The fact that the ulti-
matum was not permitted to expire
was taken as an indication that the
more radical element has obtained
control of the committee just as they
had in the railway and transport un-
ions.
The government, In addition to the
emergency legislation, proceeded to-
day with other plans for combating
the strike. All the measures adopted
during the last railway strike were
in effect today. Railway schedules
were being cut and supplies of ra-
tions hastened to distribution centers.
The emergency bill, permitting the
government to use troops for any pur-
pose, was taken to mean that II ne
cessary trains and ships would be
operated by soldiers. They may even
be used in the mines.
The gravity of the strike was more
apparent than ever today.
The speed with which the various
labor organizations fastened to back
up the miners alarmed officials who
had discounted the strength back of
labor leaders who demanded national
ization.
Leaders of miners and some leaders
among the transport and railway work
ers were frank in saying their purpose
was the oyerturning of parliamentary
government.
That this revolutionary intent ex-
listed apparently was taken for grant
ed by authorities in preparing to use
the military for any purpose"
It was stated semi-ofticially today
that members of the cabinet saw no
hope of meeting the demands of the
ultimatums for immediate resumption
of negotiations with the miners. They
were said to confess the situation
was dark.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Further adj
justment of steeel prices must be
made, e. H. Gary, chairman of the
United States Steel company, told the
American Iron and Steel institute
here today
Gary said he considered voluntary
reduction in selling prices and de-
decreases in orders in certain lines
of the industry as a healthful condi
ton.
'.All or nearly all of us, have for
months been unable To supply the de-
mands of our customers as to quantity
or deliveries and our prices, consid-
cred as a whole, have resulted in
profits" Gary said.
GAS a matter of course some ADJUST
ments will have to be made. The
average of the general scale ought to
be reduced equitably and relatively.
Without referring to individual cases
or lines or general business, l believe
in many instances prices have been
outrageously high. This observation
applies more especially to middlemen,
so called, and to smaller departments
of industry. 1t also included em-
ployes in certain trades but it does
not pertain under present conditions
to the masses of workmen."
Labor questions are always under
consideration in this country and 9TH
ers. It should be constantly borne
in mind that in order to secure the
best results, both to employe and en-
ployer, mutual confidence and friendly
m nCcarfiQI
"The present tendency is toward a
lower and more reasonable and fairer
relative basis. The whole commune
ty desires and strives for this. The
difficulty is found in the fact that every
individual is perfectly willing that all
others shall make reductions-the lar
ger the better. AS there was more
or less a scramble for higher and still
higher prices when they were advanc-
ing there will be just as much selfish
ness in enforced use of brakes when
there is a tendency toward decreasing
prices"
Now general public including
particularly those who are neither
sellers nor buyers, to a large extent
will in one way or another bring
fair and reasonable adjustment Of
prices. The law of supply and de-
mand will be the principal factor.
LET US be, reasonable and just
reducing our prices if and when 9TH
er reductions and costs permit, and
then with level heads, clear minds
and honest convictions stand solid as
against panic or lack of confidence

The only element which prevents

Where the mans body was found, a
