Gary said today in prefacing MS an

American Iron and Steel Institute.
He discussed the White House
conference at length, saying that
the President was relying on the
steel men themselves to make the
adjustment in working hours

Mr.. Gary said he thought com

TO clearly represent every phase
of the industry, instead of the com

proposal is being prepared today
by the members of the special rate
committee of the Monongahela

being held in the Chamber OF

Junior Senator Owes
No Allegiance.
By CHARLES BRooKs SMITH

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 20
Senator Davis Elkins is taking
no part in the publican senator
ial contest in West Virginia "at
present. he announced to the
newspapersreport today, follow
ing a call made on him by former
Attorney General w G.. Conley,
manager of the candidacy of Her
chel c. Ogden, the Wheeling edi-
tor, and Captain ]. Byron Nicker-
son, secretary-treasure of the
ogden organization.
The senator said that he in
formed Conley that he felt no
obligations to any one of the four
announced candidates, and~wh1le
his attitude at the present time
was neutral" he reserved the
right to change it to active parti-
cipation in behalf OF any candidate
now in the field or likely to be
should he decide to do SO later on
in the campaign. The emissaries
from the Ogden camp called on
the other members of the congress
sional delegation with the excep-
ton Of Senator Sutherland.
1t was not expected by Conley
and N1ckeTSOn, luis Salu, lldl lhSJ
could enlist Elkins' support OF
their candidate, and that the best
they hoped for was promise from
him to keep hands off" In an
interview. ConIey expressed salts
faction over the favorable recep-
ton of the candidacy of Editor
ogden by the party press and pub
lie of the. state. He declared 1t
must be evident that the Ogden
candidacy had struck popular
and responsive chord.
st was glad to accept the inv1-
tation to manage Mr.. Ogden's
campaign, prompted to do SO by a
long friendship, and glad to be
identified with the candidacy of a
man who possesses such eminent
qualifications" Conley declared.
"Ours will be a campaign of prin-
ciples and not personalities. Our
aim is to acquaint every party
voter with the personality and
superior qualifications of our can
didate. When we have accom-
plished that aim, we may well feel
assured of Mr.. Ogden's nomination
to carry the Republican senatorial
banner"
