Deadlock In the committee or 15 or the "steer. Ing committee" over labor's proposal to arbitrate the steel strike, brought about adjournment today of the na tional industrial conference until Tuesday. In the meantime the "steer lng committee" will meet in an at tempt to agree on a report to lay before the conference when it reas sembles. Adjournment came after the con ference had received the proposals of the employers' group declaring for the principle of the open shop and af firming that "no employer shall be required to deal with men or groups of men who are not his employes or chosen by and from among them." The latter principle created quite a stir and was considered by some of the delegates as approval of the stand taken by Judge Elbert H. Gary, chair man of the United States steel cor poration, in refusing to meet the steel strikers. Sympathetic Strikes Opposed. Other principles enunciated in the declaration of the employers include: Acceptance of the right of strike or lockout, excepting in the case of government employes: opposition to sympathtic strikes and lockouts; In sistence on the function of the man agement in directing industry; em phasis of shop unions as opposed to the industrial councils proposed by organized labor; and a declaration that co-operative relations betwee capital and labor should be worke out in individual establishments with due regard to local factors, instead of along the lines of entire Industrie as suggested by labor. 'High industrial efficiency was stated by the employers as the touch stone of sound industrial relations. After receiving the proposals of th employers, an hour's recess was take to permit the committee of 15 to bnn in a report on the one resolution which, it was announced, was unde consideration. On reconvening, how ever, the committee informed the con ference that it was unable to agree on a report and after objections ha been registered by Samuel Gompers, of the labor group, and Thomas L. Chadbourne. of the public representa tives, adjournment was taken. Capitalists Are Gratified. With the fundamental proposals by the "right' 'and "left" groups before the conference, as well as a number of important proposals by representa tives of the public, members of the conference tonight expressed their satisfaction with the result of the first week's deliberations. In ex planation of the employers' attitude, M. W. Alexander, managing director of the national industrial conference board, in a statement tonight said: "The statement of principles which should govern the employment rela tion in industry presented to the con ference today was originally prepared by the delegates appointed by th national industrial conference board and assented to after discussion by the employers' group, including the delegates of the United States Cham ber of Commerce, the farmer associa tions, the investment bankers and the railroad executives. "This document will become historic because it is the first concerted dec laration by industrial leaders of these fundamental principles, under the op eration of which alone American in dustry must live and move and have its being if it is to achieve its high est destiny. It is a constructive, rea sonable statement of economic laws, phrased in language sympathetic and humane. "The employers' group was grati fied at the many expressions of ap proval from representatives of the public in various walks of life which followed the presenting of the state ment to the conference." Anderson, occurred yesterday after noon at about 4 o'clock. Anderson, who lives at Fifteenth and Savier streets, tells an unusual story. He was engaged at the Eastern & Western lumber plant, he says, when he was approached by the two men who claimed to be officers. The men told Anderson that he was under ar rest and took him to a waiting auto mobile. They then drove him out the Germahtown road, handcuffing him and searching his pockets for valua bles. Stopping the car along a desert ed stretch of the road, they took Anderson out, handcuffed his hands behind a tree, and drove away. Anderson, after considerable effort, he says, finally succeeded in getting free by climbing the tree, which was only a sapling, and reaching his hands over the top. . With the handcuffs still fastened to his wrists, he rushed to the St. Johns police station to tell his story. At the time of the robbery Anderson had but little of value upon him. but is said to have left a con siderable sum of money and some liberty bonds at his rooms. Anderson's theory is that the men knew of the securities at his rooms and took him out of town, hand cuffing him to a tree in order to be able to return to town and rob his quarters. Police officers began an investigation at once, but up to a late hour last night had not reported as to the extent of the robbery at the man's rooms, in case any robbery oc curred, nor had they secured a clew as to the identity of the men, nor confirmed Anderson's story, except his appearance with the handcuffs still on his wrists.

Police officers are looking for two men who, claiming to be police of ficers, yesterday afternoon "arrested Edward Anderson, an employe of the Eastern & Western Lumber company took him out on the Germantown road beyond the limits of the city, robbed him and handcuffed him to a tree. The unusual robbery, as reported by Don't Experiment With Catarrh; It Often Leads to Serious Trouble You Will Never Be Cured by Local Treatment With Sprays. Catarrh Is a condition of the blood and can not be cured by local appli cations of sprays and douches; this has been proven by the thousands who have vainly resorted to this method of treatment. Catarrh should not be neglected or experimented with. The wrong treat ment is Valuable time lost, during which the disease Is getting a firmer hold upon its victim, and making it more difficult for even the proper treatment to accomplish results. Though Catarrh makes Ms first ap pearance In the nostrils, throat and air passages, - the disease becomes more and more aggravated and finallv reaches down into the lungs,' and everyone recognizes the alarming conditions that result when the lungs are affected. Thus Catarrh may be the forerunner of that most dreaded and hopeless of all diseases, consump tion. No local treatment affords per manent relief. Experience has taught that S. S. S. Is the one remedy which attacks the disease at its source, the blood, and produces satisfactory re sults in even the worst cases. Catarrh sufferers are urged to give S. S. S. a thorough trial.
