WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. In his first
Pronouncement before the national
industrial conference. Judge E. H.
Gary, chairman of the board of the
United States Steel corporation, sit
ting as a representative of the public,
today reaffirmed his position that the
steel strike "should not be arbitrated
or compromised" and objected to ac
tion on that issue by the conference.
He also restated without modifica
tion his belief in the open shop and
the right to determine terms of em
ployment "between employe and em
ployers." Autocratic Attitude Charged.
This statement brought forth from
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, the
charge that Judge Gary was taking
the attitude that "there is"no other
opinion in the matter."
Referring to the corporation chair
man's request that the conference
take no action in the strike, the labor
leader declared that if the real in
dustrial issues were -to be brushed
aside there was no purpose In con
tinuing the conference.
"While the clash of the two leaders
removed the hope of an agreement on
the dominant issue of collective
bargaining, prospects of conciliation
were considered still more remote to
night when it was permitted to be
come known that the representatives
of capital after an ill-day session
were steadfast in their refusal to ac
cept the Russell-Endicott resolution
for recognition of collective bargain
ing, approved by the public and labor
groups. The employers again went
into session tonight.
Kisht on Floor Kxpected.
The general committee of 15 will
Wieet tomSrrow morning and the rep
resentatives of the employers will
attend with instructions from the
group. . The conference adjourned to
day to meet also at 9:30 o'clock, but
Secretary Lane, chairman, will not
call the meeting until the general
committee is ready to report. It is
expected that Thomas L. Chadbourne,
chairman of the committee, will an
nounce to the conference that an
agreement could not be reached and
that the two resolutions on collec
tive bargaining will come, before the
entire body with such changes in
verbiage as have been made in com
mittee and group meetings.
"I desire to make a brief statement
in relation to the question under dis
cussion, as well as others submitted
to this conference," Judge Gary said.
"Further explanation of any vote I
may register will probably be un
necessary. "Like other members of the confer
ence, I recognize that the public in
terest must always be considered aa
of first importance; that all private
Interests must be subordinated.
Arbitration Principle Indorsed.
"I am heartily in accord with the
desires of the president, firmly to
establish proper and satisfactory
relations between all groups of citi
zens connected with industry, includ
ing, of course, what has been desig
nated as capital and labor.
"1 believe in conciliation, co-operation
and arbitration whenever prac
ticable without sacrificing principle.
"I am of the fixed cpinion that the
present strike against the steel indus
try of this country should not be ar
bitrated or compromised, nor any ac
tion taken by the conference which
bears upon that subject.
"Also that there should be main
tained in actual practice, without in
terruption, the open shop as a I un
derstand it namely, that any man,
whether he does or does not belong
to a labor union, shall have the op
portunity to engage in any line of
legitimate employment on terms and
conditions agreed upon between em
ploye and employer.
Output Reduction Attacked,
am opposed to a policy or prac
tice which unnecessarily limits pro
duction, increases costs, prevents the
workmen from receiving the highest
wage rates resulting from voluntary
and reasonable effort, hinders produc
tion or. advancement in accordance
with merit, or otherwise interferes
With the freedom of individual action
"As unorganized labor, which em
braces the majority of working
people, has no special representation
in this .conference, I deem it appro
nriate to say that all labor should re
ceive due consideration and that it is
the obligation, and ought to be the
pleasure, of employers at. all times
and in every respect to treat justly
and liberally all employes whether
unorganized or organized.
Gompers declared Julge Gary's
statement was identical with the steel
executive's letter addressed to sub
fcidarles of the steel corporation more
than a month ago.
Gompen Attacks Bourbons.
Declaring the devotion of American
Federation of Labor officials to the
cause of the laboring man, Mr. Gom
pers exclaimed in a voice filled with
emotion: "If we cannot help them, by
God (and I speak reverently) we will
not hurt them."
The labor leader accused the steel
corporation of "giving out to the
newspapers that the steel strike had
been lost," and added that he hoped
It was not true that "hundreds of
thousands of men had been compelled
to yield because they were too hungry
to hold out."
Gompers warned the conference
that "if what has occurred in the
United States recently in the indus
trial controversy had not offered a
reason for a new understanding, then
there is no reason for a vote in this
conference on this question."
Attacking the "bourbon" who has
"never forgotten anything because he
has never learned anything," Gompers
said it was useless to continue the
conference if the real Industrial is
sues of the day were to be passed
over.
