DETAILED PLANS BEING , FRAMED BY COMMITTEE Mge Gary Accused Of Mis representing Demands To Becloud Real Issue. By Fred S. Ferguson (United Press staff correspondent) (Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 18; "The men are going to strike. I can see nothing now that will stop them," was the statement of both John Fitzpatrick, chairman, and W. Z. Foster, secretary, of the steel men's committee, as the heads of twenty four unions went into conference here today, , Asked as to the number of men who would respond to the strike call, Sec retary iFoster said: "I am not making any estimates, ibut you can bet we will have a quorum' The meeting today, -Fitzpatrick said, was not to discuss whether there should be a strike. Its purpose is to lay out a program and, establish details of the strike, f itzpatrick said. Just before going into session the steel committee issued a statement re ' plying to the letter of Judge Gary, in which he said he refused a conference because he did not believe the commit tee was authorized to speak foT a large number of employes and also because . sueh - recognition would ' estapnsn a, ."closed shop." v j "If those are the real reasons actu ating Judge Gary surely they are not1 sufficient to plunge the industry into a great labor conflict' the statement said. "Judge Gary presents a false promise and then declares that he will stand or fall upon this false ground. It is unfortunate that the employes are compelled to resort to a strike to prove the authority of their selected repre sentatives to present their grievanc es." ,-... . " Tht statement declares the closed shop issue has no basis whatever in the controversy and is "simply drag--ged in here by Judge Gary as a buga boo to becloud the real issue." "There is one and only one ques tion at issue and that is a question of ;a conference. The employes have' ex hausted every avenue of approach to the corporation for the purpose of se curing a conference and every avenue has been closed to them. Their last and only hope is to strike and now, the employes declare, that they will cease work on next Monday morning until such time as the corporation will meet their representatives in conference for the purpose of establishing humane and reasonable methods with the very vital (Continued on page two) T APPOINTEES' REPLY Baruch To .

President Wilson today l nade public the following questions propounded by the an Francisco Association for the League of Nations, and his answers thereto: iWill you state the underlying con siderntion which dictated an awarding of six votes to the British empire in the assembly and is it true that Great Bri tain will out-vote us in the league of nations and thereby control the league 's actionf Answer The consideration which led to assigning six votes to the self-gov erning portions to the British empire was that they have in effect, in all but Joreign politices, become automous self- governing states, their policy in all but torcign affairs being independent of the control of the British government and in many respects dissimilar from it. But it is not true that the British empire can out-vote us in the league of nations and therefore the action of the. league, be cause in every matter except the ad mission of new members to the league no action can be taken without the con currenc of a unanimous vote of the rep resentatives of the state which are mem bers of the council, so that in all mat ters pf action the affirmative vote of the United States is necessary and equivalent to the united vote of the rep resentatives of the several parts of the British empire. The united votes of the several parts of the British empire can not offset or overcome the vote of the Unitod States.
