of peace, President Wilson made more
clear the policy he will follow if textual
reservations are adopted by the Senate
in its ratification of the document.
His line of action today combined a
challenge and a threat. The latter was
in
Deputies this afternoon. The whole
trend of his arguments in favor of the |
treaty was that the treaty was one of j
solidarity between the allies, who,1
united in war, must be united in peace. I
M. Clenienceau admitted that th
veiled, as has been most or the tnreats treaty contained many imperfections,
of the President to date, but there was

ence of his purpose.

WASHINGTON, n. C. Sept 25.—
Appearing as labor's first witness in
the Senate investigation ol the steel
strike, John Fitzpatrlck of Chicago,
chairman of th* strikers' committee,
declared today that an agreement bv
the United States Steel Corporation to
arbitrate differences with its employes
would result in an immediate end of
the walkout, which, he said, now af-
fects 340,000 men.
Fitzpatrick's statement camc after
a six hours' recital before the Senate I
Labor Committee of the efforts to or- j
ganize the steel workers, and of the :
conditions which led up to the strike !
Had Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman i
of the board of the steel corporation, i
met the workers' committee, the men!
would not have walked out, Fitzpatrick I
said, but an agreement for a conference
now would not result in the men re-!

Wednesday to present tbe Steel Corpora-
tion's side of the controversy.

in his recital today, Fitzpatrlck painted
a lurid picture of conditions in the steel
districts of Western Pennsylvania. lie dc
dared there was a reign of blood and iron
there with deputy sheriffs, paid "gunmen"
and the Pennsylvania constabulary a, its
chief exponents. Murder and assault of
steel workers were of every day occur

he sketched dramatically the story of the
killing of one woman, an organizer of mine
workers, which occurred before the steel
strike was called.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., Sept. - The steel strike appears to have reached its
maximum in this district tonight. The unions arc fighting to hold what gains
1 they have made. The operators arc now assuming the offensive, after recover-
ing from the first shock of the walkout.
For the first time since the strike was called, the National committee for
organizing the iron and steel workers claimed no new recruits to the union
ranks. On the other hand, the operators reopened at least one plant, the
Rankin mill of the American Steel and Wire Company and asserted that all
others in operation were drawing back their employes.
