We therefor= resent the imputation that the strike is illegal” The suggestion that work be con- tinued pending appointment and re- POt of an investigating tribunal was denominated by Mr. Lewis a mensure of delay. “That would mean months of wait- ing while men igmorant of mining problems studied and tried to solve them.” he said. “Meanthile the min- ers would be working under the pres- eat inteleradle conditions.” Other officials of the union agreed héartily with this view. In addition eome of them pointed out that the op- would take advantage of the délay to work the mines to capacity, piling up reserve stocks and_placing he =nion at a big dissdvantage fl'_m tribunal's efforts come to Direct negotiation with the mine ewners, however, would be welcomed »|CLAIM MADE THAT THE eleventh to be taken tomorrow were almost to- tally lacking.

E. Titus, a member of the Steel Workers' Council there, Jobn Fitzpatrick, chairman of the national committee ~directing the| strike, said: The strike is won. no matter what the outcome may be.” “There is no use pretending.” Titus had said to Colonel W. S. Mapes, com- manding the regular troops. “The men are going back to work. The trike is lost and the army is responsi- ble In explaining Nate- his statement, Mr. Fitzpatrick said: i rikes may be won even though {they are lost.” This struggle is only | V.lx)un: the groundwork for future bat- ties. The stesl worker mya be starved into going back to work but he has learned this i3 e knows now that the steel cor- poration is not bigger than the will of the men working for it. He knows now that he can close down the en- tire works. Knowing this he will nev- er again submit sheeplike to the con- ditiong under which he has labored for years. For twenty or more years the steel worker has been of the opinion | that the United States Steel Corpora- tion was the biggest t g on earth. He Delieved that its power was even greaer than that of the United States zovernment. the worker is the greatest power. Now |he knows that he can tie up the plant: He has done it. ‘The next jtime he tries he will tie it up even | more effectuaily than he has done on this oc.c-stun. BRITISH WEST INDIAN ISLANDS PROTEST SALE Thomas, Virgin Islands, Oct. 2s. i (BY The A P.)—Chambers of com- jmerce of the British West Indian Isi- ands, representing producers, mer- ‘hants and other residents of these Britis, possessions, are urging a | mevemeny for the adoption of a set of ions, objecting to the proposal of lord Rothermere, the British peer, that some of the British Wese Indian colonies should be sold to a foreign | power (the United States) to help li- quidate the British war debt. Those interested in the movement are con- vinced that the increased production and closer inter-relation throughout the British Empire will result in un- paralled prosperity which would ren- {der it unnecessary to part with any portion of the empire. Lord Rothermere suggested the dis- posal of the Bermudas, the Bahamas, and some of the West Indian islands | to the United States to meet the Brit- ish financial obligation to America. He assumed that the American govern- I ment mizht be willing to acquire these |istands <3 perhaps British Guinea and Britis.. Honduras in liquidation of Great Britain's American liabilities. { MEASURES TO CURB THE ACTIVITIES OF RADICALS Washington, Oct.- 28.—Additional measures to curb activities of radicals | were introduced today in the house. | Under the provisions of a bill by Rep- resentative Smith, Michigan, the dis- play of a red flag at any public as- sembly or demonstration would be prima facie evidence of its use as an “embiem of anarchy.” The measure provides a punishment of five years' imprisonment and $1,000 fine. All radical literature looking to the overthrow of the government or re- sistance to its laws, as well as doc- uments dealing with projected railroad strikes would be barred from the mails by a bill of Representative Blanton, democrat, Texas. The measure also would make punishable the display of banners, intended to promote or incite the overthrow of the government by force or violence or resistance to fed- erai laws. FARMERS AND MANUFACTURERS ARE TO COMBAT RADICALISM Chicago, Oct. farmers and manufacturers have com- b\°d under the leadership of Milo 1L C:\2zell chairman of the National Bo.rl ‘of Farm Organizations and the president of the National Milk Pro- ducers, to combat radicalism of all kinds and to help bring the nation back to a fArm industrial basis by means of an educational campaign designed to eliminate class suspicion and distrust. An effort is to be made to include labor leaders in the com- mittee’s work. “I am working,” said Mr. Camp- bell, “on the selection of a committee which is to be composed of represen- tative farm organization heads, repre- sentatives, manufacturers and conser- vative labor men.

The Hst of dead is being added to almost hourly. . The steamer, a side wheeler, bound from .Milwaukee, after outriding a night of gale, made for the harbor in the early morning darkness, but is said by Captain Edwin Miller to have struck the bar at the entrance. The wheel. paddies jammed in_the sand, checking beadway, and the great combers threw the ship about and hurled her on to the pier. There she hung, momentarily, pounding _into wreckage, and then slipped off into the deep. channel, going down in ffty feet of water. The steamer lies a storm- torn table of steel and splintered wood, effectually blocking the harbor entrance. _Fifty of the seventy-two passengers and crew, guided to safety by a single flashlight’ in the hands of & coast guard, were tonight known to have been saved from the vessel. It was feared several were caught between decks. Survivors, most of whom es- caped only in their night _clothing, were being cared for by the Red Cross, while in the city morgues lie the bodies recovered. Graphic stories of terror. suffering and beroism were told by survivors, and the bravery of Captain Edwin Miller and his officers and crew. who remained at their posts to the last, was recounted. Captain Miller, sensing disaster as the vessel was driven toward the pier, ordered all to leap for their lives, and the time hallowed sea rule, “Women first,” was followed Only four women, one of whom was employed on the boat, were tomight known to have been lost. The women, fearing to venture over the rail, were bravely led by Mrs. Fred L. Beerman of Muskegon, who leaped from the ship. Others jumped or were handed down ropes by men passengers and crew. 2 Captain Miller declared the under- tow swung his ship after she struck the bar. “I told the cabin boys to waken the passengers and crew and ordered all over the rafl” “Those who moved quickly were saved. The ones who held back lost their lives” The Muskegon was an iron vessel, built in 1381 by the Holland Steamship company, and lately rebuilt for the Crosby linc. She was 231 feet in len=th and had a gross tonnage of 1148 STRIKE OF . TRAINMEN.

Oct. 28.—The na- tional steel strike committee today went over the situation in a session behind closed_goors which lasted sev- eral hours. No announcement Wwas made concerning the business trans- acted nor anything to indicate what the committee thought of the progress of the strike. The rationing system was extended somewhat, but, according to strike headquarters, is no yet in full swing. ¥ew reports hag been received. to-| night from commissary managers, and | the committee was unable to estimate the number of persons to whom relief had Dbeen extended.
