HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH LAST AND ONLY HOPE IS STRIKE STEEL WORKERS Failing to Obtain Conference With Corporation Their Last Resort, Is Walkout Monday, They Declare WILL STAY OUT UNTIL MEETING IS ASKED FOR By .dssociatcd Press. ' Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 18.—Before resuming their discussion to-day on matters in connection with the steel workers strike, called for next lion day, the national committee for or ganizing iron and steel workers is sued a statement that having failed to obtain a conference with the United States Steel Corporation the last and only hope is to strike until such a time as the corporation will meet the representatives of the men. Answer Gary The statement follows: "In his letter of September 16 to the presidents of the subsidiary companies of the United States Steel Corporation, Judge Gary avers that he had two reasons in mind when he refused to meet with the Amer ican Federation of Labor committee, which called upon him recently re questing a conference for the pur pose of presenting grievances of his employes. First, he did not believe that the committee was authorized to speak for large numbers of the employes. Second, a conference with the committee would have been treated by them as a recognition of the "closed shop" method of employ ment. "If these are the real reasons actuating Judge Gary, surely they are not sufficient to plunge the in dustry into a great labor conflict. Judge Gary presents a false promise and then declares that he will stand or fall upon this false ground. Selected Delegates "The committee that waited upon Judge Gary were the selected repre sentatives of the employes. And they requested a conference for the purpose of establishing the principle of collective bargaining and some practical method of redressing griev ances. "Judge Gary denied their author ity to represent the employes and refused to meet them in confer ence. The only way left for the employes to convince Judge Gary that the committee does represent the great body of the employes of the United States Steel Corporation is to cease work until the corpora tion agrees to meet their represen tatives in conference. This the em ployes have decided to do on Mon day morning. September 22. "It is unfortunate that the em ployes are compelled to resort to a strike in order to prove the authority of their selected representatives to present their grievances. But as there is no other way, the proof, in the form of a strike, will effectually remove all doubt in Judge Gary's mind. Closed Shop Bugaboo "In the second place. Judge Gary sets up the question of the 'closed shop' which has absolutely no basis whatsoever in the present contro versy. It is simply dragged in here by Judge Gary as a bugaboo to be cloud the real issue. There is one and only one ques tion at issue and that is the question of a conference. The employes have exhausted every avenue of approach to the corporation for the purpose of securing a conference and every avenue has been closed to them. Their last and only hope is to strike, and now the employes declare that they will cease work on next Mon day morning until such time as the corporation will meet their repre sentatives in conference for the pur pose of establishing humane and reasonable methods of dealing with the very vital problems which affect their lives, their homes and their future."

UNION STATION HINTS CROP OUT IN BRIDGE TALK Pennsylvania Railroad Offi cials Have an Eye to Fu ture in Regard to Tracks PLAN FOR THE FUTURE New Building Expected to Come When U. S. Surren ders Rail Lines Indications that the Pennsylvania Railroad authorities are considering the relation of a proposed Union station to the new Memorial Bridge to be erected liy the State and the city came out to-day at the engin eering conference on the bridge plans at the Capitol, the railroad people asking that piers and other parts of the bridge be so located that when a new station is built track changes can be made without difficulty. No intimation as to where the new sta tion may be placed was given, al though gossip has associated the pro ject with Walnut and Cowden street, North and Seventh and the present location with a front on Market street. The location of piers and other matters will be agreed to within a short time. The conference was held at the office of the Department of Public Grounds and Buildings by George A. Shreiner, J. E. Greiner and H. G. Perring for the State; Superin tendent William Elmer and Corpo rate Engineer Horace Booz for the railroad. ft seems to have been pretty definitely established at the Capitol that there will be no station at State street as that would inter fere with the bridge. Itailroad property investments along the south side of Market street have made many people be lieve that the new station may be built over the tracks much as"was done in Baltimore and other places. The company, it was pointed out to day, had very large holding between Market street and the Mulberry street bridge and with the Reading could combine in a gigantic structure covering all tracks with room for freight tracks on the east side. Rail road officials said frankly that the*- had 110 location in mind, but were preparing for eventualities, but no one at the Capitol looks for any thing to be done while the Gov ernment runs the railroads. For several years studies have been made and it is said that there have been tentative plans made for three different locations. State of ficials would be glad to have some settlement of the question because a new station would be an orna~ mental affair and fit in with the com prehensive plans for the creation of the civic center.

Brunner, architect of the Capitol Extension and City Memorial to a re porter of this newspaper to-day. "Harrisburg has many trees, but it needs more. However, I would caution against indiscriminate plant ing. The whole plan af tree decora tion should be carefully levised with an Idea not only of harmony but of permanency, it would be too bad if you planted trees on some of the very narrow streets, where they would not have a chance of coming to ma turity. Not every thoroughfare can be so adorned, much as we might wish to have it so. "Anothei; matter that should not be forgotten is that care and supervis ion must be exercsied contiually to preserve and develop the trees already planted. Some, cities evidently be lieve that they have performed their full duty when thf plant a lot of trees and then let them go, to ll\r or die, survive or perish." Mr. Brunner expressed the thought that tree planting should not bo con fined merely to the residential local ities. "I know," he said "that many merchants do not believe trees should be planted in business districts, but 1 believe that if they fully understood that an elm of slender trunk, which does not throw out branches below a height of 25 or 30 feet would not obstruct the vision of pedestrians, th<4- would change their minds. In France where the merchants are as thrifty as any in the world, they plant trees in front of their stores in order to make the thoroughfare shady and cool. I suggest that you give the idea of a treatment of trees around the curbline of Market Square some consideration. I believe it would add greatly to the beauty of the down-town district and I know that the merchants instead of being in jured. would be materially helped. I earnestly hope that the Telegraph's campaign will bear fruit. You are to be congratulated for your enterprise in getting it under way and for your support of the efforts of the local forester." Owners Want Congress to Buy Surplus Booze Washington, D.
