LABOR CHIEFS REPLY TO GARY iTell Steel Trust Head Conditions of Employes Are Miserable.

TCASHINGTO.V. Aur. ;?.Aftfr a conference her yesterday with the eeutiv committee of the Ainrriran Keiioration of Labor, representatives of tho committee of the steel and iron workers union, made rutflto a Irtter to K. II. Oary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel Corporation announcing that the decree for a ftrtke of union steel workers would be enforced unless tr.. corporation granted an interview- to the committee, 'within the time limit set. The letter was dated at New Tork yesterday, but was withheld until the reel workers' representatives could ronlr with Samuel Gompers. president, and other officials of the federation. "We have received your answer to our request for a conference on behalf of th employes of your corporation." sitd the letter to Judge Gary, "and we understand the first paragraph of your answer to be an absolute refusal on the fart of jour corporation to concert-1 to your employes the right of collective bargaining. . "Vou Question the . au thorlty of our c-mmitte to represent tli majority of your employes. The only way by which w e can prove our authority is to put the strike vote into effect and we sincerely hope you will not force a strike to prove this point. "Ve asked Tor a conference for the purpose of arranging a meeting where the question of wages, hours, conditions of employment and collective bargaining might be discussed. Your answer is a flat refusal for such conferenc. "TVe rtad with great care your statement sls to the interest the corporation takes In the lives and welfare of th employes and their families and if that were true, even In a minor degree, we would not be pressing; consideration through a conference of the terrible conditions that exist.' All the conditions of employment, the home life, the mis

ery in the hovels of the steel workers is

beyond description. Surely, this is a rratter which might welt b dismissed ;n conference. "Tou also made refereenc to the attitude of jour corporation in not oryoeing or preventing your employes from joining labor organizations It is s matter of common knowledge that the tactics employed by your corporation and subsidiaries have for years most effectually prevented any attempt at organization by your employes. "Some few days are still at the disposal of our committee before the timlimit will have expired when there will be no discretion left to the committee but to rnforce the decree of your employes whom we have the honr to represent."

'Xckles, both discharged soldiers, the mob jwedged through the door. Against the protest of the owner. Simpson and Eckl"s started to work with hammers and hisels. knocking away the plaster psiris ast emblems. Seeing what they were doing, a numer of uniformed soldiers and citizens in the audience Jumped up to assist them. It was not long until the house was In an uproar, th film operator stopped cranking his ma-chine and the lights were turned on. The show did not continue. Two American flags which had been draped over two of the emblems were carefully removed from the German shields before attacking them. The Austrian emblem had not been covered. While, the workers (hipped away at the emblems the astonished audience went wild with patriotic enthusiasm, clapping their hands and yelled to demonstrate that they sanctioned the work of the Industrious, but angered workers. The owner pleaded Tike a mud man. but the mob only worked faster and more, diligently. "Ton have desecrated the American flag." he faid as the mob ere taking down the fags, "and I am going to have "you arrested." In tho short space of ten minutes the mob had completed their work an 1 with them the audience left the theatre. Five minutes later the doors were locked and the ylace was In darkness.
