FRAK'SD
LuW Insistent That Industrial
Hurley Mediate Steel Strike
Washington, Oct.. 15.?After a
hen led all day, session Uevwted a'
mo>:t entirely to discussion of lal
or's proposal io arbitrate the t-ieel
strike.- during which two attempts
at postponement and a substitute
resolution by Thomas L. Chad
hcurne, cf the public vroup, rnc-t
with defeat, the National Industrial
Conference adjourned last ni^ht
without having taken other definite
action than the appointment of
three subcommittees.
Another attempt to'.obtain adtion
in the steel controversy, however,
will be made by members cf the ?
public .croup, headed by Berjiard M. i
Baruch, through a; new compromise j
proposal when the conference re-j
sumes its sessions today.
The labor resolution was laid be
fore the conference yesterday with
out. recommendation by the central
committee, but with an amendment
proposed in committee bv Samuel
Gcrnptrs, presidentv cf the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, providing
that the arbitration committee be
chosen by the conference groups
''from aixemlbers or non-members" of
the conference. In re-porting the
resolution Chairman Chadbourne an
nounced that while the resolution
was favored by a. majority cf the
members of the cornmitte". it had
receive I the negative vote of two
groups and therefore could not be
favorably reported.
A substitute resolution offered by
?Mr. Chadbourne failed to receive
the approval of any of the three
conference groups, ? although it'was
framed' so as to avoid mention of
the steel strike. The substitute
proposed acceptance of Mr. Gom
'peiV convmit'tee of six to adjust all
all "serious labor disputes." its de
cision to be final, aftrr ar attempt
to reconcile differences had been
made by a joint committee of em
?ployers and employes. The labor
representatives would be chosen both
by those "out on strike and those
remaining in the employ cf the sev
eral companies."
The climax of the day's tense
sessions, r.no of which was lecessed
in the midst of conclusion, came
late in the day when Sanriel Gom
?pcrs, lender of the labor delegation,
made an impassioned plea for in
tervention in the steel strike ?ml
"reviewed ihe negotiations leading:
in> to the calling of tne strike on
?Sciptomiber 22.
Looking directly at Jud re Ellbert \
II. < iary. chairman of the United
?State's Steel Corporation, seated
with the public group less than 1">
feet a.way, the labor leader declared
that the Steel Corporation had
""acted like the Bolshevik!" in re
fusing to meet representatives of
?the other party in dispute. Judge
'Gary kept his eyes fixed on the la
bor leader's face throughout the
speech, but made no reply when Mr.
Gcnvpers concluded.
