PITTSBURGH, Oct, 10.—Members of the Senate Labor Committee investi- gating the steel strike arrived here to- day. There were four Senators in the party—Chairman Kenyon, Phipps, McKellar and Sterling. The committee left early by automo- bile for points up the Monongahela River. The first stop was made at the Homestead plant of the Carnegie Steel Company, a subsidiary of the United States Steel Corporaion. Just after Senators Kenyon and McKellar went in the Highth Avenue gate of the plant two shots were fired by men, said to be strikers, in the street. The Sen- ators, it was said, knew nothing of the incident. In the plant the committee chatted with John F. Qualer, General Super- intendent. Later the Committee visited Du- quesne and McKeesport. After going through the Homestead plant the Committee sought but strikers and their families in back streets of the borough, and the mem- bers talked individually with men, women and children. Volunteer in- terpreters assisted materially when persons unable to speak English were encountered, many of the strikers, it developed, being Slavs. Higher wages and an eight hour day were the oijects of the strike, the men told the Committee.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—Atter the group representing capital had. pre- sented its principles declaring oppost- tion to the closed shop and collective bargaining, the Natiowal Industrial Conference adjourned to-day until next Tuesday to give the Committee of Fifteen time to consider the various proposals advanced and formulate @ report. Suggestion from the public group that the Chairmen of the three groups (be constituted a committee to consider propogals received here from citizens the country were strongly disagproved by the labor rep- resentatives, who insisted upon rigid enforcement of the rules requiring that all matters considered be ap- proved ‘by the grotip presenting them. In speaking against the suggestion, Samuel Gompers, chairman of the labor group, attacked ‘some por- tions” of the press for what he char- acterized as its “extremely unfair” attitude to labor in the conference: “Labor has from the very start,” sald Mr. Gompers, “contended for open sessions #o that the whole world may know what this conference is doing.

The results have not been given out. Prof. Hollingsworth has admitted that the findings will be used in connection with a suit brought by @ brewing congern for the right to continue manufacturing the beer. Six students were used in the ex- periments, which lasted twelve days. Each morning the students drank as much water as they could and took the tests.
