Denying that ‘the United States Steel Corporation had mistreated its mén, as charged by union labor lead- ers, Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the corporation, told the Senate committee investigating the steel strike today that in his opinion there was no basic industry in the world which had paid larger wages than his company. “It has been stated before. this com- ; mittee,”- said Judge Gary “that the steel companies have been guilty of ill treatment of their employes. Some statements have been made on misin- - formation and some absolutely with- out foundation. “I wish to state, Mr. Chairman, that there is no basic industry in this country nor:in-the world, in my opin- fon, which has paid larger wages than the United States Steel Corporation, and perhaps not as large, nor has treated their employes with greater re- spect and consideration, if as great. “It has been charged that during the pending strike the subsidiary co: panies have been guilty of attacking and mistreating.

Day shifts went to work without special incident, though pickets ‘were out everywhere. The usual heavy guard was out where Plants are operating. Strike headquarters said that noth- ing has occurred: in the last twenty- four hours to change the situation. The leaders continue to claim that the big plants of the Carnegie Steel Company in the Pittsburgh district are badly crippled, with men deserting every day. Strikers also claim that the Jones & Laughlin plant, the jJargest independent concern in the Pittsburgh district, is also crippled.

The jary’s verdict said the killing was by persons unknown and that the deputy sheriffs involved were firing in self-defense. Chairman Kenyon asked whether Geputy sheriffs were sworn in at the corporation’s plants and were on the company’s pay roll. fi “I should say yes,” said Mr. Gary. “So far as I know, they have had nothing to do with any of these out- breaks.” He added that it was possible that some of the company’s guards had participated in disturbances since the steel strike began, but pointed out that Mrs. Snellins was killed before the strike started. | Affidavit Is Read. Referring to testimony of President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, that Jefferson D. Pierce, a union organizer, had been beaten by company agents while attempting to organize unions in the steel mills and died from injuries, Judge Gary read ASKS BRITISH PREMIER an affidavit, which, he said, had been} TO SUMMON PARLIAMENT sent to his office on September 27 by Pierce's son. = ‘ “| was with my father the night -\. he received his injuries,” said the affidavit, “and he said they were not caused by any agents of the Steel Corporation.” “He was injured by a member of the L W.

Ham of the Wash- ington Railway and Electric Com- pany, in a conference today with rep- resentatives of division 875 of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Reilwey Employes, ex- pressed: willingness of the com- pany “to consider any evidence that can he presented” along the line of necessary increases in wages and, “if then unable to come to an agreement, to submit the matter to the Public Utili- ties Commission. The company refused to deviate from the award of the War Labor Board. On this account recognition of the union will be withheld, it was stated, President Ham claiming that to recognize any individual group of em- ployes would not be in accordance with the award. The conference was held to discuss demands of the men for recognition of the union, an eight-hour day, increases in pay for employes and improved con- ditions. President Ham’s Statement. Shortly after the opening of the con- ference Mr. Ham issued the following statement of policy: “This company conducts an ,open shop. It does not object to its em- ployes belonging to any labor union they choose. It recognizes the right of collective bargaining and has con- ferred and continue to confer with any committee or committees of its employes. We have and have had in our employ members of more than one labor union and, also many oth- ers who are not members of any union. “The National War Labor Board, an agency of the government, laid down certain principles, which we have adopted, for the maintenance of open shop conditions, and we know of no other rules better calculated to in- sure proper relations between em- ployer and employes, Submitted to War Board. “In January last the company was members of the Association.

Reason for Reopening. Award. “The only reason for reopening this award is ‘for such adjustments as changed conditions since March 25 last may render necessary. While it is inconceivable that there has been any change in conditions which would justify the demands now presented, ‘we are, as we have already stated to our employes, willing to consider any evidence that can be presented along that line and if then unable to come to an agreement in regard thereto to submit the matter to the Public Util- ion, which is familiar with our financial condition and is the only body which has the power to increase our revenues to enable us to of its employes, ted “It is apparent that there can be no increase in wages which must not be borne ultimately by the- public.

James Largay, international vice President of the Amalgamated, went into the conference in an advisory capacity. President Ham made ‘it clear that Mr. Largay would not be admitted in his official capacity, since the union was not recognized, but would confer with him as an adviser In fact, it was said at the Labor De- partment today that full ments will be made to aid the news. papers in getting comprehensive re. ports of everything done in the con- ference.

Port of embarkation offidals in Hoboken who received the message, said the liner probably would not dock befere tomorrow morning. ! A large representation of official and social Washington will be in New York city tomorrow to greet the Bel- gian royal party, now nearing these shores on the American transport George Washington. Owing to the physical inability of President Wil- son to receive the party in this city immediately following their arrival at ; New York, as originally intended, it became necessary to rearrange the Program. so as to have the official reception at New York instead of in this city. Secretary Lansing and Assistant Secretary Philips of the State Depart- ment completed the details of the new lent late this after- noon. The officials would not dis- close any of the features of the pro- gram at this time. Enough ise known of the plans, however, to show that Vice President Marshall will personally represent the Present in welcoming the King and Queen and Crown Prince of Belgium at the city of New York, and that he will be attended by several members of the cabinet, including probably Secretary Lansing, Assistant Secre- tary Roosevelt of the Navy and As- sistant Secretary Long of the State Department. Most of the officials will be accompanied by the ladies of their families. 2 ‘When the George Washington nears New York she will be received and saluted by a small fleet of warships and escorted into the harbor, where tecre welcoming salutes will be given by the big guns at the forts.

CHANCE SLIM FOR LAPSE IN PRORIBITION EDICT Indications were strong today that war-time prohibition would merge into constitutional prohibition next Januaty with no wet spot in between the two ‘periods. Although a War Department state- ment said “the accident of war and changes being based on the prices at. the mines, and this practice will be followed voluntarily this winter by many dealers. “We did a good business during the summer months,” said one dealer today, “and, generally speaking, the coal bins in the residential dis! are ready for cold weather. ing coal market conditions is much like predicting the weather, but I do not look for a coal shortage in Wash- ington this winter.” ADMIRAL KNAPP TO SEND REPORT ON TRAU TODAY The Senate probably will be in Possession tomorrow of an official report of the acton of the American naval forces at Trau, Dalmatia. Secretary Daniels this morning said that he had received word from Ad- miral. Knapp, at Paris, saying that he would send a full report of the circumstances attending the landing of American marines at Trau to the Navy Department later in the day. Mr. Daniels.said he would not make the report public at the Navy De- partment for the reason that he meant to send it to the Senate at once, and it would be discourteous to that body to publish it in advance of its receipt. . icts Predict- an end,” Attorney General Palmer ruled that war-time prohibition can- not be lifted until ratification of the Deace treaty has been accomplished. This means that stocks of lMquor held in this country by persons who hoped to sell them at an enormous profit just before constitutional pro- hibition becomes effective January 16, 1920, may be difficult to dispose of. Money has been loaned by banks on much of this stock. The war-time prohibtiion law pro- vides that it shall remain in force until after the termination of the war and the demobilization of the Army. Mr. Palmer has held that the state of war does not end until the peace treaty has been ratified. President Wilson took @ similar position in ask- ing Congress early in the year to re- peal the war-time prohibition law in so far as it affected light wines and beer. HEARINGS ON FIREMEN’S '» PAY.
