4 THE .MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1919. CARNEGIE MILLS TO LET UNIONS SEE "Demand" of Strikers for Personal Look-in Accepted. CHOICE OF PLANT IS FREE Secretary Foster Says 3Ien Arc Steadfast- Commissary Store Are to Be Established. PITTSBURG. Oct. 20. (Special.) The Carnegie Steel company will wel come to any of Its plants any com mittee that union labor wants to send to "see at lirst hand" what conditions are In the fifth week of the steel strike. The special assembly of the Pitts burs? Central Labor union voted yes terday to demand" the same op portunities for personal observation that were extended to the United States senate committee on educa tion and labor, in view of "conflicting reports as to the number of men at work." This afternoon the Carnegie com pany decided to accept the challenge, as it was apparent the men meant It to be. Any committee that the cen tral union wants to name will be al lowed to fix the time and place for the visit and choose the mill. It will even be allowed to keep this choice secret until the moment of the visit, so that there can be no chance of al leging afterward that there was "win dow dressing.;' Decision Hailed Shrewd. The decision of the Carnegie com pany was hailed as a shrewd meeting of the issue raised by the trades unionists. This afternoon the na tional committee for organising iron and steel workers appointed a sub committee to lay yesterday'B "de mand" before the Carnegie company, and if was said at the general office of the company that as soon as this communication had been received the counter proposal would be submitted to the men. The national commission consid ered the strike from all its angles at today's meeting. When an adjourn ment was taken it was said that Chairman John Fitzpatrick had summed up the situation when lie had said to the committeemen: "I think you will all agree with me that we are in a stronger position at the beginning of the fifth week than we were at the beginning of any pre vious week since the strike began. The men are showing a wonderful spirit. They have made up their minds that it is a long, hard fight which lies before them, but they are ready to go through with it." Marsolls Not DiKoucd. There was no discussion at the meeting, it was said, of the allega tions made by Jacob Margolis before the senate committee in Washington. W. Z. Foster, secretary-treasurer of the national committee, whom Mar golis claimed as a "fellow philosoph ical anarchist" followed precisely the same tactics with regard to today's charges that he did with regard to the syndicalist charges early in the strike. The strike leaders began their ar rangements today for the commissary stores which are, - in lieu of money benefits, to sell foodstuffs to the strikers at cost. Clothing and such other things a may be needed are to be added, as plans now stand. Robert McKitchen, president of the Central States Wholesale Co-operative society, arrived today from Springfield, yi., to take charge of hese stores. Loyalty Assurances Given. While the strikers talk with grati ' cation of the steadfastness with hich their men are staying out, the .rnegrie company has been receiving .usual assurances of the loyalty of men who have remained at work. Jeneral Superintendents of three of i most important plants of the negie company have reported ough routine channels to the gen I officers that the steel corpora i must stand pat if it wants to . pe a strike on the part of the i who have been rather loosely cribed as "Americans" In contra Unction to the aliens who make the majority of the strikers. Some of the men," said a state it made tonight to The Oregonian, ive expressed their fear that the ishington conference may switch ) situation In the steel Industry jund to a point where they'll have quit to keep their self-respect hers have declared that If Judge ry gives in and deals with the iona they'll quit.

SURPRISE 'England Has Always Paid Her Debts and Always Will," Sir James Hope Simpson States. ATLANTIC CITY, It. 'J.. Oct. 20. British financial delegates to the international trade conference , which opened here today told their Amer ican conferees that they sought no special credit arrangements or' gov ernment intervention. but . simply asked that business -transactions go on as before. This announcement came as a sur prise to the general body of delegates, especially as sub-committees of many foreign missions asked for American financial assistance and set forth that extension of credits was vitally necessary in order that they might successfully meet the reconstruction problems of their respective coun tries. A. C. Bedford of New Tork, chair man of the executive committee of the conference, told the delegates that American business mn were ready to supply financial aid to the war stricken allies, but made it plain that they must be frank in explain ing political and economic conditions In their own countries. Social Stability Factor. The success and permanency of business, he said, is dependent upon the stability of government and American business men wanted to know whether the dangers of bol shevism or socialism have passed and whether any menace to the social ordr existed. The British point of view was set forth at a meeting of American and English credit and . finance men by Sir James Hope Simpson. "The vast majority of Britishers never enter into contract unless they can see their way clear to pay," he said. "We have not come to ask help of anv organization. We ask only that no obstruction be placed In the-way of ordinary normal trans actions." Belgrlnm Needs Wheat. Belgium's principal food require ment at present Is wheat, of which she needs 100,000 tons monthly, Amer ican food producers were told at the first food sub-committee meeting to day by Alexander de Groote, repre senting the Belgian mission. Three fourths of this was being obtained from the United States and the re mainder from Argentina. High prices and unfavorable freight rates, he said, were operating to de crease these purchases and Belgium was compelled to seek larger sup plies from Argentina, Roumanla and Russia. Italy has need for four million tons of shipping, particularly for coal, her shipping men informed their Amer ican colleagues today. In reviewing the financial position of England, Sir James said that Britain's national debt had increased from 700 million pounds to seven bil lion pounds. Great Britain, he add ed, now owes 1,400,000,000 pounds abroad, whereas it owed nothing be fore the war. Foreign powers and colonies, he explained, owed Eng land 1,700,000,000 pounds and, al though they are not counting on ex pected indemnities, if such indemni ties materialize they will further re duce the debt. England Will Pay Debts. "No government will stand in Eng land which would contemplate for a moment any weakening in regard to the payment of our debts," Sir James declared. "England Is determined to pay her debts. She has always paid her debts and always will." "It must not be supposed," he add ed, "that individual citizens of Great Britain are In a condition of Indebt edness because the government is." There has been an enormous amount of saving on the part of in dividuals," he asserted, "and a large part of the British war debt is owing to British citizens." Factory Power Maintained.
