Washington, Sept. 10. — Regardless of the request” of President Wilson that they take no action pending the coming ‘industrial conference, repre- sentatives of organized workers in the steel industry late today called a strike, effective September 22, 1o com- pel recognition of their unions and of lihe principle of collective bargaining by ‘the United States Steel Corpora- tion. The executive council of the 24 unions represented among the worker made known their decision in an an- ouncement issucd after they, had re- quested the president by °telegraph for a “more definite statement” as to the pessibilities of arranging a_con- ference with stecl corporation officials and after they had reccived a reply from the president asking that they withhold action until after the indus- trial conference. The president’s telegram was not made public by the steel union heads but its context became known in Washington tonight throuzh press despatches. 1In their statement the executive council merely said they had not been advised “that the efforts of the president had been any more suc- cessful” than the efforts of the men. Union officials tonight firmly re- |fused to indulge in any speculation regard extent of the strike, though a | declaration attributed to Judze Gary {of the steel corporatio that the steel workers were mot more than ten per cent. organized was ridiculed as erro- ineous. The steel corporatiou was said {to employ about 262,000 persons and the entire industry nearly 400,000. In some places, it is said, the men are 95 per cent. organized, and at virtual- 1 vall mills, organizers have been ac- tive for weeks and still are working to_obtain recruits for the unions.

APPEAL FOR COOPERATION IN HANDLING OF FREIGHT CARS New Haven, Conn.. Sept. 10.—An appeal for cooperation in obtaining prompt handling of freight cars was issued today to shippers and con- signees by E. J. Pearson, federal man- ager for the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad and the Cen- tral New England Railroad. “Demand for empty cars is extreme- urgent,” he said, “release without embargoes from the present situation depends upon more prompt unloading. immediate checking and control of shipments so that the accumulation in cars on the road can be reduced to the normal consistent with maximum transportation capacity. and careful regulation of shipping thereafter at a rate conforming with the ability to unload.” Since the recent strike, said Mr. Pearson, the number of cars placed for unloading increased = from about 8.000 a to between 11.300 and 12,600. Unloading ie requiring an average of 2.4 days per car placed, while the previous record was less than two days. Pointing out that the svstem has handied more traffic in the past than at present. Mr. Pearson says that the tem has ample capacity to deliver currently all traffic that can be un- CROWDS APPLAUD SENATORS IN OPPOSITION TO THE LEAGUE Chicago, Sept. 10.—Crowds tonight in vain besieged the Auditorium thea- tre. where republican senators began their western speaking tour in answ- er all Pr unconditional acceptance or total re- jection of the peace treaty and League of Nations covenant. Before 3 o clock, the hour for opening the speak- ing, the theatre was filled and thous- ands of persons were left in the streets The thousands within and without had come to hear William E. Borah of Idaho, Hiram V California, and Medill llinois, the latter presiding at the meeting, expound their views of the treaty an dleague covenant and re- ply ito President Wilson's utterances on his swing around the count Inside the vast theatre the crowd applauded and perspired in shirt sleeves. Senator Johnson spoke first; then Senator Borah. Both men were wildly cheered and there were occa- sional comments from the crowd. No two men who wrote that treaty can azree now as to what it means, said Senator Borah, amid laughter. We in the semate want to con- strue that treaty. if that is possible. The president says that the treaty assures peace. Well, in 1916, he said we must elect him for he would keep us out of war. A few months later we were in the war. I don't believe much in prophets. “I dom't want to go into a league at all. personally, but T didn't make the issue. Now., I am particularly anxious to find a way out of it if we must go in. That is what the senate wants to do now—a reservation which will_provide a method of withdrawal. “Do any of you want to go into a league that you can't get out of?” All over the hall there were cries of S0: mo. < there an American who wants a foreign nation to say when and where the Monroe Doctrine shall ap- ply 7" went on the speaker and there were cries of “No.” Prolonged cheeds greeted his stric- tures on the presence of American troops in Siberia. The interruptions grew more fre- quent and excited as the senator pro- ceeded. When he spoke of the power in the hands of the president there were cries of “Take it away from him.” Catcalls, hoos and cheers. “Before we talk of that let’s see to it that he is not given more pow- er.” shouted the Idaho semator as soon as he could make himself heard. The audience rose and cheered wild “Yes.” said the speaker, taking the cue, “and it took George Washington seven vears to gain the independence from George III that’they now want to give back to George V."

Maurice Bailey, 16 years old, of Jackson, Maine, land- ed from the transport Northern Paci- fic today the hero of one of the most interesting episodes of the world war. An ugly scar over his right eve is his only service record because he was never officially recorded a member of the American ecxpeditionary forces, but a French war cross pinned on his tunic bears silent testimony of his he- roism on that autumnal day in 1918 when he crawled over a shell torn field in the Toul sector and rescued a colonel and two majors of the Twen- ty-Sixth division who were lying wounded in No Man's Land. His brother Alfred, who enlisted in the 103rd Infantry, and his father, Victor, a sergeant in the 157th Infan- try, whom he followed to France, were among that immortal army of Ameri- cans destined mever to return. Against the advice and pleadings of his father and brother, Maurice decided to “do his bit” by going to France. He fol- lowed the colors of his brother’s reg- iment until the war was over. ‘While carrying chocolate, cigarettes and water from a Y. M. C. A. cantecn to the men at the front in the Chateau Thierry operations in July, 1913, Mau- rice was struck by a piece of shrapnel. Two months later he reioined _the company which was then about twenty miles from Toul. It was there that he won his decoration. “We were just fighting again and I saw two majors lying wounded,” he said. “I got a soldier from Company H and we went over to them and also found_a colonel lying wounded near- Dby. One of the majors was wounded in the arm and the other's leg was half cut off by a shell. The colonel had a bad wound on top of his head and couldn’t see. The soldier picked up the major with the wounded leg and carried him on his shoulders. 1 put the other~major’s arm around my neck, the colonel grabbed hold of me and we made it to the hospital. In the St. Mihiel push, Maurice was gassed and spent another month in | the hospital. From the time of the ar- imistice until his return, Maurice has been referred from one officer to an- other in his effort to zet home but he finally made his way to Brest and en- listed the aid of the crew of the Northern Pacific. Upon his arrival here the Red Cross promised to take care of him and see that he got home in safety. LODGE REPORTS PEACE TREATY IN THE SENATE Washington, Sept. 10. — Character- ized as an alliance and not a league, “which will breed wars instead of securing peace,” the peace treaty with Germany, including the covenant for a League of Nations, was formally re- ported to the senate today by the for- cign relations commitice, with forty- five amendments and four reserva tions. It will be the first great doc ument of its kind to be discussed by the senate in the open—without tae confines of “executive session.” Accompanying the treaty was the majority report of the foreign relu- tions committee, subscribed to by every republican member, excepting Senator McCumber of North Dakoti, explaining the amendments and reser- Vations, all of which, it was stated, were “governed by a 'single purpo: ad that is to guard American rights and sovereignty the - invasion of Which would stimulate breaches of faith, encourage conflicts and gener- ate wars.” The reservations propos:: 1—Cnconditional right to withdraw from the league. 2—Declination by the United States to accept any of the legal or moral obligations of the much-discussed Ar- ticle X or to accept any mandatory from the League, “except by action of the congress of the United States.’ 3—Reserving to the United States the exclusive right to decide what guestionsgpre within its own domestic jurisdictil 4—Absolute reservation of the Monroe Doctrine to the judsment of the United States alone. The principal amendments are pro- posed to provide: Tqual voting power for the United States with Great Britain in the As- sembly of the League. Giving to - China instead of Japan the province of Shantung. Relief of the United Siates from having representatives on commis- sions deciding matiers in which it has no concern. LOUIS ROSS ENTITLED TO RECOVER ONLY $100,000 Boston, Sept. 10.—The full bench of the supreme court decided today ithat Louis Ross, a mining engineer, was| entitled to recover oniy $100,000° from Albert C. Burrage stead of a per- centage of profits which Ross alleged to be about $25,000,000 made by Bur- rage in the sale of mining properties in Chile to the Guggenheim interests of New York. The court ruled that Ross was bound by an agrecment made with Burrage in 1912, under which Burrage had the option of pay- ing Ross $100.000 or transferring (o him five per cent. of the sccurities coming to Burrage as profit from the exercise of the options on the mining Dproperties brought to his attention by Ross. Barrage elected to make the cash payment. The court declared the Pplaintiff_entitled to a decree directing the defendant to pay the $100,000 forthwith. After being turned down by an heir- ess it is difficult to convince a man that every cloud has a silver lining.
