COLLINS STYLE SHOP POLICY BEING CONSIDERED BY LABOR CHIEFS Caution and Care Arc Funda mentals in*Xcw A. F. of L. Program B]/ Associated Press. Washington. Aug. '29. Labor unrest over the country was the sub ject of further conferences to-day between President Samuel Gompers and the members of the executive committee of the American Federa tion of Labor. After these confer ences Mr. Gompers was to discuss the general labor situation with Presi dent Wilson at the White House. Matters understood to have been considered to-day by the labor of ficials included the threatened strike of steelworkers and demands of railroad employes for increased wages unless living costs are re duced. As the federation chiefs as sembled, Frank Morrison, secretary said a general statement probably would be issued during the day. The Executive Council receded rep resentatives of the actors, the shop men. the steel employes and advo cates of the Plumb plan of railroad control at the meeting. No statement was obtainable from the Executive Council or any of the labor representatives who took part in the conference. In general it was indicated that "certain propositions" were submitted. It is understood they include a policy earlier deter mined by labor leaders to be pursued with regard to the labor situation as a whole, and to confer with the Ex ecutive Council on the decisions. There are indications, though lack ing definite confirmation, that the executive council is primarily engag ed in an effort to direct all action on the part of labor into conservation channels. It is for this reason, it is held, that Mr. Gompers hastened his return from Europe. That the Gov ernment will lend all possible aid to bring this about is practically assur ed. extending to the point of bringing pressure to bear on corporate inter ests to meet labor more than half way where such pressure may be found necessary. President May Rebuke Gaby A basis for this view is found in the report, said to be founded on high au thority. that the President will call Judge Gary to task within the next few days for his refusal to deal with the representatives of the steel men in personal conference. That a similar desire for careful and conservative action exists among the representatives of the shopmen was indicated by the sending of a second letter to the 5,000 locals throughout the country with refer ence to the coming vote as to whether or not the shopmen would accept the President's offer of an in crease of four cents an hour, with a strike as the alternative of their vote on the question. ASK FOR CONVENTION An invitation will be extended to the Pennsylvania State Sabbath School Association, to hold its 1920 convention in this city, it has been decided by the executive committee of the Dauphin County Association. CASES GROVPED The Public Service Commission has grouped all Pittsburgh Railways cases for hearing in that city on Sep tember 21.—There are 62 cases. HAKRDSBURG TELECIAPS Rapid Moves Made in Labor Situation Swift developments came yes terday in a Held involving labor, the railroads and the steel Indus try. v * The Government, through Di rector General Hlnes, warned that efforts to continue the il legal Pacitlc coast railroad strike after Saturday morning would be treated as acts against the Gov ernment. The railroad brother hoods have backed the Govern ment in this step against the dis obedient western trainmen. Chiefs of the steelworkers have presented an ultimatum to the steel industry. If Judge Gary, of the United States Steel Corpora tion, fails to deal with the men's representatives within a time lim it, a strike will be called. Leaders of the railway shop men have advised the workers not to strike at present. They urge acceptance of the small wage advance offered by Presi deVrt Wilson. If the cost of liv ing is not reduced, the possibility of striking for full demands later is suggested. STEELWORKERS TO ASK WILSON FOR HIS HELP Claim Corporation Is Trying to Force Strike Before President Can Act Washington, Aug. 29.—President Wilson is to be asked to take a hand in the controversy bctwene the steel workers and the United States Steel Corporation in an effort to prevent a general strike. This announcement was made to day by the committee of the sleel ' workers, who charged that the steal J corporation was trying to force the before the President could have an opportunity to pass on tiie merits of the controversy. In a telegram to the union of ! steel workers at Gary. Ind., the committee said the workers were not to strike "under any circum stances" until the strike date haa been set by the committee. The Gary union had telegraphed that the steel workers were being dis criminated against and "discharged wholesale for the purpose of forcing a strike." The Telegram The telegram, addressed to James Mulholland, secretary of the Gary Allied Iron and Steel Worker-:' Council, follows: "Your telegram received, stating that steel workers are being dis criminated against and discharged wholesale for purpose of forcing strike. The steel companies are do ing the same in many other places. But in spite of this persecution, try to hold men at work until all amicable means of setlement have been exhausted. "The executive council of the American Federation of Labor is negotiating for a conference with President Wilson to-day. The steel ' companies show by their Actions a j determination to force the issue be [ fore the President has had chance : t*> pass on merits of controversy. ; We are doing all possible to sccuie ! justice for the men and to prevent j the national disaster of a general ; strike in the steel industry. Do not strike under any circumstances un i til the strike date has been set by your committee." The steel workers have sought i conferences with officials of the stel corporation to discuss ' hours, working conditions and col -1 lective bargaining, but thus fur their efforts to obtain such confer ; ences have been unsuccessful. Announcement that a strike of the ! union steel workers of the country would be enforced unless the United States Steel Corporation granted an ! interview to the workers' committee i within the time set is contained :n i a letter to E. H. Gary, chairman ; of the board of directors of the cot j poration, made public here last night. The letter was dated at New York Wednesday, but was withheld until the steel workers' representative-; j could confer with Samuel Gompcrs, j president, and other officials of the | American Federation of Labor at i the executive council of that body here. The letter, which was given out by William Z. Foster, secretary ot' the subcommittee representing the steel employe, is in response to the latter's refusal to confer with the members of the subcommittee. The subcommittee informed Judge Gary iii the letter that the llrst paragraph of his letter was under stool to mean that the Steel Cor poration absoluately refused to con cede its employes the right of col lective bargaining. The falsity of this, it was said, could only be proved by putting the strike into effect, but it was hoped that Gaiy would not force this. Judge Gary's assertion of the interest of the cor poration in its workers was an swered by a declaration that the.r standands of living were "beyond description." It was also- common knowledge that the corporation and' its subsidiaries had for years fought all attempts at organization by its men. The letter closed with an other request for a conference, re fusal of which would leave the com mittee no choice but to enforce the decree of the employes and strike. POSTCARD THIRTY-NINE YEARS ON WAY ARRIVES Indianapolis. Ind. —"Cincinnati to Indianapolis in Thirty-nine Years" might well be the title of the mystery story of a postal card, mailed on Feb ruary 16, 1880, In Cincinnati, and which has just been delivered to Joseph Al lerdice here. Nothing was on the envelope which inclosed the card to indicate its fate during the nearly two score years It had been on its way. except that it bore the postmark "Somervllle. Mass., June 28. 1918." The card, from Nathan Wolfstein & Co., then in business at 36 Main street, Cincinnati read: "Owing to high stage of water in Ohio river we are compelled to move our hides upstairs. We have 1.000 huffs, which we offer you at 9% cents nere, subject to acceptance In a reasonable time." Postmaster Springsteen added the notation that he "hopea the figures for acceptance In 'a reasonable time' still hold good." The postcard Indicated that it left Cincinnati at 8 p. m. on the day of mailing, and it was pointed out that that present postmaster general can not be held responsible In this case. GIVE PRESIDENT CHANCE TO CUT COST OF LIVING Shopmen Postpone Strike j Vote 90 Days to Permit ' Prices to Drop Washington, Aug. 29. —lndustrial peace in the United States depends on the results the government can show in the next 90 days in its cam paign to reduce the cost of living. That time limit is tacitly set by the executive council ot the railroad shop crafts in suggesting to union locals throughout the country that President Wilson's compromise offer in response to their demand for higher wages should be accepted pending the outcome of the effort to restore a normal price level. If the cost of living does not come down, the 500,000 members of the shop crafts would reserve the right to strike for money, and with them probably would be associated the re mainder of the 2,500,000 railroad em ployes, all of whom have been con sidering the same problem, i The letter of the executive council served to compose somewhat the un easiness felt, in official circles over the immediate labor situation and to focus attention on the legal mea sures being directed by Attorney General Palmer and his assistant. Judge Ames, to take the inflation out of prices by punishing hoarders and profiteers. "In our opinion." the letter said, "the next 90 days will bring the en tire situation to a head, and if a strike is to take place every class of railroad employes should be willing to join in\the movement, share their full measure of responsibility and not leave the issue to be decided by the 22 per cent, of the railroad em ployes represented by the federated trades." Los Angeles Strikers Refuse to Go Back By Associated Press. Los Angeles, Aug. 29.—The tieup of all steam roads continued to-day in Los Angeles, although the railroad companies announced they were will ing to give the strikers their old posts and the brotherhood heads were work ing to indue? the strikers to return. In San Francisco and other cities of the state .the strikers returned to work. The Brotherhood leaders here an nounced they will meet the strikers to-day and will place before them the ultimatum of Walker D. Hinos, di rector general of the railroads, that the trains must be running by 7 a. m. to-morrow. The Brotherhood leaders were in Must We Ratify Treaty To Save the World? now famous \\ hite House conference with the Committee on Foreign relations, Presi dent \\ ilson emphasized the moral obligation resting upon the Senate to ratify the Peace Treaty as it stands. THE LITERARY DIGEST of August 30th cites munerous leading newspapers which have taken up this question with ardor. "The first, the imperative duty of this country," says the Jersey City Journal, is to make the Ireaty effective and then "to join the other civilized countries of the globe in an honest effort to make peace lasting," and the Philadelphia Inquirer maintains that America can never return to a sane basis until the Peace Treaty is disposed of and actual peace is brought about." The opposition view is voiced by the Hartford Courant, which feels that, while "benefit all round" should result from the conference, the Senators will not be "stampeded by the President's plea for urgency." Senator Lodge hints at delays in his statement that "we all respect and share" the desires of those who want a Peace League, but "some of us see no hope, but rather defeat, for them in this murky covenant."
