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.

Rapid Moves Made

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."
