HUN EVACUATION
OF LITHUANIA IS
TO BE DEMANDED
Marshal Focli to Send Note
Threatening Penalties For
Noncompliance
By Associated Press.
Paris, Sept. 27. The Supreme
Council decided to-day to send the
German government through Mar
shal Foch a note demanding the
evacuation of Lithuania by German
troops under drastic penalties for
non-compliance.
The noto informs Germany that
her provisioning will be immediately
stopped and the financial arrange
ments she has requested be held.aip
if Lithuania is not evacuated.
American Suggestion
Unless all German troops are re
called from the Baltic provinces
within a very short time the Allies
will out off supplies from Germany,
re-establish the blockade and inter
rupt the repatriation of German
prisoners of war, according to the
Figaro. The newspaper says a note
to this effect is being prepared by
the Entente powers in answer to a
communication from the German
government which stated that forces
under General Von Der Goltz were be
ing retained in the Baltic provinces
because it was impossible to pre
pare a plan of evacuation at pre
sent. American experts, the news
paper says, suggested these measures.
McCumber Believes
the Treaty Will Pass
Without Reservations
Washington, D. C., Sept. 27. —
Senator McCumber, Republican, of
North Dakota, member of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
believes that the Peace Treaty will
be ratified at ,un early date without
amendments or reservations that
will require renegotiation with the
other signatories. Senator .McCum
ber occupies a commanding position
in the Senate at this time as he
is the only Republican member of
the Foreign Relations Committee
who refused to sign the Dodge ma
jority report and is in close touch
with all the various Senatorial
groups of both parties. In a state
ment to the country to-day given
out through the League to Enforce
Peace, Senator McCumber said:
"I cannot believe that there will
be any amendments or reservations
adopted that will require a resub-,
mission to the Peace Conference. I
hope and believe that Senators will
agree upon a few reservations that
will clarify any provision on which
there is doubt, and which will aar
sure us every right of independ
ence, of protection of our national
policies, such as the Monroe Doc
trine, and the unquestioned control
of all our domestic matters. We
do not need to make any amend
ments to assure these results.

WANT BATHING
BEACH EXPERT
Voters Who Realize Impor
tance of Measure Eager
For Skilled Aid
With only a few weeks until the
November election those who realize
the importance of securing: the pass
age of the loan which will provide
funds for bathing facilities in Harris
burg, are anxious to have an expert
appointed to recommend locations
for bathing beaches and bath
houses.
Commissioner Lynch secured the
passage of a resolution late in July
authorizing the Park Commissioners
to secure such an expert. Park Com
missioner E. Z. Gross said to-day
that he has communicated with War
ren H. Manning, the park expert con
cerning a survey of the city and re
commendations of locations for bath
ing facilities.
It is said that the advisability of
locating swimming pools in the Alli
son Hill, central and uptown districts
may be considered. No definite
action on this question will be taken,
however, until a report is secured
from an expert.
Commissioner Gross said he has
also heard of men in Philadelphia
and Baltimore who are acquainted
with furnishing bathing beaches and
pools and that he will communicate
with them. Recently he visited pools
in Baltimore and secured inform
ation about their cost, size and
management.
In November the voters will be
asked to approve the loan of $40,-
000 to be used to provide bathing
facilities. The ordinance authorizing
the vote on the loan question was
presented to Council by Mayor Keis
ter, and recently was passed on final
reading.

DEADLOCK ENDS
WEEK OF STRIKE
[Continued from First Pago.]
POINTS RAISED BY
PROBE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-—ln
vestigation to date of the steel
strike by the Senate Labor Com
mittee in an effort to ascertain
"if the situation can in any way
lie relieved by Federal action"
has developed tile following out
standing points:
First—Declaration by strike
leaders that agreement by the V.
S. Steel Corporation to arbitrate
differences with its employes
would end the walkout.
Second —Assertion by strikers'
representatives that granting' by
Chairman Gary, of the steel cor
poration, of a hearing of their
demands now would not end the
strike.
Third—The view of organized
labor that the issue is recognition
of the right of employes "to be
heard, to organize and to have
some voice in determining con
ditions under which they labor."
These dcilnite points were
brought out in the two days'
hearing by the two representa
tives of labor to appear, John
Fitz Patrick, chairman of the
strikers' committee, and Sam
uel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor.
Both went into the history of the
movement to organize the steel
industry and charged that in
many cases civil authorities in
western Pennsylvania had lent
assistance to the steel companies
to defeat the movement.
Having heard labor's side of
the controversy, the committee
next will hear the views of the
operators in the industry. Judge
Gary, of the steel corporation,
will appear Wednesday, pre
pared to present that side of the
controversy.
I
the fact that the unsponsored meet
ings held in the Youngstown area,
at which it was announced the men
would vote on the question of re
turning to work, have so far result
ed In no relief of the industrial
paralysis which has gripped the
Mahoning Valley. On the other hand
steel officials in the Chicago district
continued their claims that increas
ing numbers of men were returning
to work and announced the reopen
ing of more mills at Gary.
Urges Strikers to
Stay Away From
Company Meetings
Pittsburgh, Sept. 27. The sixth
day of the strike of the steel work
ers began with both sides claiming
gains, although the situation has
quieted down and appears to have
been deadlocked.
Secretary Foster has sent out no
tices to all union organizers in this
district asking them to warn the
strikers against "hand-picked com
pany meetings!/ called for the pur
pose of getting the men to vote
whether they shall return to work.
"This is a new method of propagan
da inaugurated by the steel corpor
ations to break the union ranks," he
added.
Mr. Foster asserted that alleged
"trutal activities" of the State Po
lice !n *te Pittsburgh (lletMt n.tv<
suddenly decreased. He said he be
lieved this was duo to the publicity
that had been given thcr actions.
He charged, however, that negro
guards on duty at Monessen, Pa.,
were harassing strikesrs and invad
ing their homes and creating a "reign
of terror."
Yesterday was a very quiet day in
the Pittsburgh district. There was
an exchange of shots between State
rolice and some men near Clairton,
2C miles from Pittsburgh, In which
no was hurt. Arrests continue to be
made in different places of men who
are usually charged with loitering
and disorderly conduct.
Mass Meetings Planned.
Continuing the fight for free speech
en' free assemblage, the union com
mittee having this matter in charge
is busy making arrangements to
hold mass meetings of the workers
in many mill towns. There will be
meetings in Homestead and Natrona
with the consent of Sheriff Haddock,
of Allegheny county, it was aialej,
and deputy sheriffs will be sent to
prevent interference by State Police.
Sheriff Haddock announced that he
had given the strikers permission to
hold meetings in halls in anv city nr
town where "local authorities had
not banned such gatherings." He
so'd that the union committee had
nr interpreted his lul'..cll'iiis when
tc y announced t'.,.t he ua I ioni

Prohiti ' . in. itK
Mayor George Eyiic, of McKtes-
' port, declared that no meeting*
would be permitted In that city,
where they have been banned for
many weeks. He said he had as
much authority as the sheriff in this
regard, would oppose any move
to permit such gatherings.
"We had trouble and riots because
of these meetings before there was
a strike," Mr. Lysle said. "I cannot
and will not tolerate such gather
ings."
The union steel men are also bar
red from holding meetings in Du
queane and Clalrton, according to
reports at strike headquarters.
Mr. Foster said the union wished
to avoid any trouble with the au
thorities, but would demand that "the
constitutional rights of the workers
bo upheld." He said that tho mass
meetings conducted by the organi
sers were always orderly and peace
ful and there was no good reason for
them being banned by any commun
ity."
Strike Leader Flayed
as Using Labor to
Further I.W.W. Doctrine
Washington, Sept. 27.—William
Z. Foster, secretary of the steel
strike committee, was denounced by
Senator Pomerene as a false leader
who is seeking to disrupt organized
labor and utilize it for the further
ance of I. W. W. doctrines.
Turning to the words of Foster
himself and producing red pamph
lets issued by the steel union man,
the Ohio Senator flayed him as an
autocrat using the laboring man for
the furtherance of his own am
bitions.
"God help labor when it gets into
the clutches of a man of that type,"
said Senator Pomerene. The Senator
referred to the recent speech in the
House by Representative Cooper, of
Youngstown, Ohio, a member of la
bor unions for many years, but an
uncompromising opponent of the
doctrines advocated by Foster.
"I hope Senators will read this
speech," Senator Pomerene said.
"Mr. Cooper has rendered a splendid
service to the cause of law and or
der in making that speech at this
opportune time."
According to Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federa
tion of Labor, Foster's former af
filiations with the I. W. W., his ad- \
vocucy of syndicalism and other
radical views, were known to tho
labor men. Senator Pomerene said,
but they maintained that he has
since "reformed."
Foster Urged Sabotage
The Ohio Senator react extracts
from articles written by Foster from j
time to time. Tn one published in
Solidarity, the official organ of the
T. W. W., Foster on November 4,
1911, urged the I. W. W. to work
within the American Federation of
Labor to make it a revolutionary
organization. Foster was at that
time a candidate for editor of the
Industrial Worker nt Seattle, one of
the I. W. W. publications.
In a letter read by Senator Pom
erene, Foster urged upon the I. W.
W. the adoption and practice of the
principles of revolution, and advised
that they give up any attempt to
create a new labor movement, but
to get into the old built-up organiza
tion. strengthen themselves and rev
olutionize those organizations. The
letter was signed "Yours for revolu
tion. Wm. Z. Foster."
"This man with that record which
he himself wrote in 1911 is parad
ing himself before the public as one
of the friends of labor." Senator
Pomerene bitterly declared.
The Senator also exhibited a
pamphlet hound In red, written by
Earl C. Fcrd and Foster, and pub
lished by the latter, in which views
on syndicalism were advanced. Di
rect action was urged upon workers
and sabotage praised.
Workers were told that when they
went on strike they could leave their
machinery also on strike. On the
railroads they could disable the
switches and signals, or run engines
into the pits of turntables. They
could take sn>all hut necessary
parts from machines in the shops
which would leave them useless, or
if they were unable to accomplish
their purpose before leaving their
jobs, they were advised to hire out
as "scabs" and then surreptitiously
place emery dust in the machine
bearings or otherwise disable the
machinery. An energetic treatment
of strike-breakers was urged as an
effective method in strikes.
More Mills Resume
at Chicago as Men
Go Back to Work
Chicago. Sept. 27. More mills
at the United States Steel Corpora
tion plant at Gary, Ind., open with
officials claiming 2,500 men at work;
approximately 4,000 men on the job
at the Illinois Steel Company mills
at South Chicago, according to
heads of the company, *wfth some
sheets actually rolled yesterday; an
answer awaited to an appeal to
.Washington by employes of the In
land Steel Company, and a Federal
[injunction against picketing at the
plant of the Pollack Steel Company
at Chicago summed up the situation
in -general in the steel strike in the
.Chicago district as the sixth day of
the walkout began.
Conflicting claims by industrial
heads and labor leaders and minor
rioting at the Illinois Steel Company,
plants at South Chicago and at
Gary marked passage of the fifth
day of the strike. One man was
'beaten at the Illinois Steel plant,
and~ at Gary the first shots of the
strike were fired when guards dis
persed a crowd of strike sympa
thizers who had stoned their auto
mobile. No one was injured.
From Gary also came a report
that several cases of rifles had been
taken into the United States Steel
Corporation's plant. Four to five
hundred guards were said to be on
duty and were to be augmented by
400.
The temporary in junction against
picketing at the Pollack plant in
South Chicago is returnable before
Judge Landls next Tuesday. The
company represented that a Federal
contract for railroad axles was being
held up and that 80 per cent, of
the employes desired to return to
work. The appeal of the Inland
company workers was addressed to
Senator Kenyon and contradictory
statements of John Fitzpatrick,
chairman of the committee for or
ganization of the steel workers be
fore the Senate Investigating Com
mittee. "Nearly 90 per cent, of the
7,000 employes want to return to
work; the company wants to operate
and the n? n have nothing to strike
for," the telegram read.
At Waukegan, where yesterday
the situation for a time appeared to
be serious, all apparently was quiet
to-day. Stoning of automobiles and
threats of other violence subsided
after three hundred deputy sheriffs,
including business and professional
men were sworn In.
Slmilar action by Gary citizens was
planned. Six hundred men met and
formed a cit'zens* military police or
ganization of 300 men. Incidental to
the 766 employes of the
Elgin, Jollet and Eastern Railroad,
[the belt line around Chicago, were
i laid off because of decrease in move
ment of steel products.
Ohio Works to Make
Effort to Resume
By Associated Press•
Youngstown, Ohio, Sept. 27.—Fol
lowing a canvass of employes as
they received their pay to-day, offi
cials of the Ohio works of the Car
negte Steel Company here announc
ed that an attempt will be made on
Monday to reopen the mill. The an
nouncement marks the first effort at
resumption in the Mahoning Valley
since tho steel strike caused all Its
plants to close.
Employes of the Ohio works who
held a meeting last night voted 82
to 2 9 to return to work "when the
proper time presents itself," ac
cording to a statement given out af
ter the meeting. A committee was
appointed, the statement said, to
induce railroad men in the mill
yards to join the movement to re
turn.
Anoynmous Letters
Breathe Defiance to
Organized Government
Washington, Sept. 27.—Scores of
letters have bee nreeclved by Chair
man Kenyon and other members of
the Senate committee investigating
the steel strike. Some of the com
munications are intended to refute
statements made before the commit
tee by John Fitzpatrick, chairman of
the strikers' committee, while others,
most of them anonymous, breathe
defiance to organized government.
Among the telegrams received by
Senator Kenyon wsa that from A. IC.
Perkins, representin gthe employes
of the Inland Steel Company, In
diana Harbor, Ind., which said 90 per
cent, of the employes of the em
ployes of the Inland company were
opposed to the strike and that the
walkout was "a crime against the
men who toil."
Another telegram signel by John
J. Friel, member of the American
Federation of Labor, said 10,000 work
men at a meeting in Philadelphia had
adopted unanimously a resolution
asking the Senate committee to call
ns a witness John Clinton Parker,
who would "give facts which make
clear the kind of polities that is re
sponsible for the Fnited States tSeel
strike and the unfair profiteering and
favoritism that creates dissatisfac
tion among tre rank and file of work
ing people and increases their cost

Philadelphia Crooks Are Con

WIFE OF ONE IN COURT
With Babe in Arms, She Sup

band For Alibi
Sunbury, Pa., Sept. 27. —Elmer C.
Haldermann and Win. Evans, Phil
adelphia, were found guilty In court
hero yesterday of cracking the safe
of the Lewisburg, Milton and Wat
sontown Passenger Railway Com
pany at Milton, on AJarch 29, last.
The safe was blown with nitro
glycerine.
By a number of witnesses the
prosecution traced their movements,
along with John P. Logan, a Greek
who was shot and killed by the
Bethlehem police while trying to
escape, from Philadelphia, in a
stolen automobile to Milton and
then to Wilkes-Barre, where they
were arrested. A coin box taken
from the safe, together with several
mutilated coins, which tho police
say were found on Evans, were of
fered in evidence, together with an
overcoat Evans wore. H. R. Deeter,
superintendent of the trolley com
pany identitled the coins as fits. The
men were positively Identified by
a hnlf dozen witneses as having
been in Milton the night before tho
crime.
Evans tried to prove an alibi, say
ing he was ill in bed at his home in
Philadelphia at the time, and Ills
pretty wife, with a baby in arms
tupported him. No doctor's certifi
cate could be produced. The police
offered two saws they had cut from
a seam in Evans' trousers after he
was arrested. Haldermann did not
testify. %
Haldermann pleaded guilty in Co
lumbia county in 1907 of robbing
the safe of S. R. Dyer, at Numidia
and was sentenced by Judge Evans
at Bloomsburg to not less than fif
teen or more than sixty years in
the Eastern Penitentiary. A Phila
delphia society woman became in
terested_ in Haldermann and secur
ed an order of resentence from tho
Superior Court, which permitted his
release on parole last fall. Iler
name has not been divulged. The
prisoners appeared to have plenty
of money and employed the best
counsel available in the trial here.
State and railroad police say
Haldermann is charged with safe
blowings all over Central Pennsyl
vania. 110 was only sentenced for
the Numidia job, as evidence suffi
cient to convict could not be se
cured. They assert that he is one
of the slickest criminals ever lock
ed up and the "brains" of tho trio,
which included Logan, -who they
declare helped rob tlie Milton safe.
