workmen. At the Gary -works, steel company officials claimed this miming that 60 per cent of their employes will remain intact, but union leaders are confident that they will pull out 30 vr cent of the employes. riOURIS NOT OBTAINABLE. In an Interview with W. P. Gleason. (superintendent of the United States eteel mills In Gary shortly after 7 o'clock ho stated thJft he had no idea how badly the departments had been crippled, but felt confident that they would be able to operate. Vp to noon today the steel company officials were still tabulating the result of, the strike, but would b unable to give out anything; suthentlc or definite for twenty-four hours. SZTSN DEPARTMENTS AFFECTED. From the hest available information It was learned that seven departments. Including the rail, merchant, axle, hillelt and plate mills are down complete, which substantiates the fact that it was almost a walkout. Of th 12 blast furnaces, it is reported that four of thfi.i were banked yesterday and orders w re given to bank two more today. Four of these are used to surply the r:ty Of Gary with its light, fue!. pas. wat. r and electric power. Thi3 only leaves two producing hot metal. This is the same number of furnaces that was in use when the E. J. & E. switchmen wnt out on strike and tied up the mills over a month ago. TWO PLANTS ARE OPERATING-. "Workmen at the American Sheet and Tin Plate Company and the American Bridge Company are still at work and so far the ranks of the workmen have remained intact. A report gained circulation that some of trie workmen nt the American Bridge Company hd walked out. but this was denied by officials of the company. This was also confirmed at labor headquarters, when the news was given out that everything was Quiet at the two plants. The usual crowded morning- Ambridge cars grae evidence to this.

ESTIMATE 1000 AT WORK. According to figures tabulated by a watcher this morning as the men were going into the plant, it is estimated that there was not over a thousand men that went to work. Hundreds went into the plant for their clothes, tools and personal belongings, only to return agam. It was easy to distinguish the strikers, as the majority carried a bundle of clothes under their arm. This was also pay day in several of the departments and hundreds went to the pay office nar the main gate to 'draw their two weeks' pay check. This was also deceiving, as many thought the men were returning to work. FOREIGN BORN LOYAL TO LABOR. The foreign born workmen, whom the labor leaders have relied upon to tie v,p the plant, did not disappoint them. They are standing shoulder to shoulder and have gone out almost in a body. Although they believed that the colored workmen would stand by them, it was evident early this morning that they had broken ranks, as the majority of the workmen that went into the mill ' gala were negroes. They went into he plant during the early shifts. It was expected by the labor leaders that the unemployed colored workers would take the jobs of the strikers if given protection. THRONGS OUT EARLT. From Fifth ave. to the mill gate huge throngs of strikers lined Broadway as t-arly as 5:3Q this morning, poztns of pickets were active in sections leading to the mills and informed those going into the plant that there was a strike and asked them not to' go back to work. Workmen were halted by the pickets js they left the street cars and jitneys. The strikers on the streets were orderly and gave no evidence of trouble. Not a single clash was reported. Mayor W. F. Hodges appeared on the scene shortly after daylight and was on hand tintil after 7:00 o'clock to take tharge of the situation. He issued orders to '.eep the crowd moving" on the mill property, from the mill gate to Second ave., where at times the strikers attempted to congregate in large num

bers. They quickly disbanded and wTre ordered to move on. CAPT. MCCARTNEY'S INSTRUCTIONS. To Capt James McCartney, who was placed in charge of the cordon of police, the mayor issued the following instructions: "It is our duty to preserve order and not take sides with either the steel company or the strikers. Do not interfere with anyone who does not disobey orders and above all be courteous and firm. Keep the strikers from congregating." Hundreds of Gary residents arose bright and early and many professional and business ment of the city were seen mingling 111 the crowds near the mill

gate. Though the air was raw and chilly and the dark clouds threatened rain, the crowds jamed Broadway until late this morning. The strikers seemed jubilant and joshed and joked with each other. "'We are going to take a good long vacation if we have to." was the remark several of the strikers made. Many of the strikers quit at midnight nd was responsible for the big crowd of workers coming out of the mill gate

this morning. As long as the workmen come to work : ihe plants will continue to operate, said j a number of local superintendents toI day. Kear is expressed that the E. J. & E. switchmen may be pulled out. and , if this happens the mills will be tied ! up completely. ; In the event of trouble, heavy police ' protection has been promised and at a moment's call it will be possible to have

, hundreds of deputies on hand. This i arrangement was made yesterday when Sheriff Lew Barnes was in the city con

ferring with Mayor Hodges. Officials of the steel corporation have also made complete arrangement to protect its

j plants. In a babel of tongues, 6.f0 steel j workers, representing the twenty-seven . nationalities employed in the mills, yesittrday afternoon cheered the strike at i a labor meeting in the East Side park, f w here it was announced by Oscar Anderson, president of the. Gary Steel Unions : council, that 5.000 men were already on strike and the number growing as j each shift was dismissed, j City authorities attending the mass meeting were concerned largely with J the fact that very few negroes were j present. although William Elliston. j president of the Colored Steel Worker3 ; union, was one of the speakers. The ! police are prepared to prevent race riots

between the 5.000 negroes in Gary's Mack belt and striking white workers. The unions are not claiming that a majority of the colored men will go out tomorrow, and it is declared unemployed ! negroe have indicated they will take jobs in the mills if guaranteed protec- j tlory

between the national government and the great mass of people. There are, a, least, these four great divides. The nation is split when it should be united. WHAT IT WILL MEAN. There are indicatiens that the steel strike will resolve itself into fight between conservative capital and radical labor. More and more the progressive business interests and the conservative labor leaders are being forced into the background. The information which I have, comes from employers, bankers, business organizations and labor union officials who are in almost constant telegraphic communication with the United States Steel Corporation, and the American , Federation of Labor, and while it may not be considered as coming from either of these great bodies, I know that it contains the suggestions, reports and counsel which have been submitted to Judge Gary and President Gompers. AS SITUATION STANDS. Beginning with the labor unions, the situation is as follows: Within the American Federation of Labor there are two factions, one the so-called "conservative wing," directed by Mr. Gompers. and the other the radical group, oi which Mr. Fitzpatrick and Mr. Foster, the two chief organizers of the iron and steel trade workers, are leading exponents. Mr. Fitzpatrick is one of the dominant figures in the movement which Is under way in Chicago and Cleveland ' to found a labor political party. A SYNDIC ATK AUTHOR.

Our Varied Industries The basic thing that makes the City of East Chicago the best industrial center in the State of Indiana is its varied line of industries. ij. is not a one-industry city. From the Indiana Harbor lake front to the Grand Calumet river the 35 industries of our city are engaged in the production of chemicals, brick, castings, lead and silver refining, steel, iron, garoline, oil refining, freight cars, ditchers, engine parts, rivets, tin recovery and other lines. i THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK EAST CHICAGO INDIANA Member Federal Reserve System Capital and Surplus $125,000-00

widely distributed among the employes of the Vnlted States Steel Corporation. While President Gompers is doing everything within his power to avert a strik. t least under the conference is held in Washington. Mr. Fitzpatrick is opposed to any labor "truce." Whether his interest in the formation of a labor party is influencing him in bis opposition of Mr. Gompers and President Wilson, I do not know, but the fact remains that he controls the iron and steel workers and from all the information I have I am convinced that he is working against the wishes of the president of the A. F. of L. Fitzpatrick wants a strike now. Gompers does not want it. Fitzpatrick represents the radical labor union men. who do not want to permit President Wilson or anyone else at the Washington conference to try and bring about sn understanding between capital andjabor. Gompers supports the president's program. JUST AS LI AVE riOBCT NOW. Turning to the employers' side, I find the situation is even more complicated. Judge Gary, as spokesman of theso men, who are confronted within their own organizations with the opposition of radical labor union leaders, is compelled to decide upon a course of action which, in his opinion will defeat the attempts of the radical elements to tie up the industry. Whatever may be Judge Gary's attitude oward the Washington conference, he is compelled to deal with radical leaders of labor, not with the conservative ones. Inasmuch as ho has refused to confer with Fitzpatrick. it may be safely concluded that he feels it to be to the best interests of his organization to face a strike now; that now is Just as good a time as any to "have it out" with the radicals. Besides those who support Judge Gary there are many manufacturers and business men who are very apprehensive lest this steel strike should develop into a nation-wide general strike. nd they deem it to their best interests to urge

him to take some steps to avert a strike until after the conference scheduled for Oct. 6. On the other hand, the conservative business leaders, who side with th chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, are of the opinion that the steel strike will not last long If the conservative leaders of organized labor refuse to rermit the strike' to spread to other industries. They are temporarily counting upon Mr. Gompers to -confine the strike to the steel trades, and if he can, and does, the stel strik may be of short duration. It is argued that it is as much In the! interest of conservative leaders of labor j

unions to see the radicals defeated In i

this strike as it is in the interests of big business to "break" the radical group. Thus the question arises, which no one can answer, "What will be tho effect of the strike. If it is carried out. upon the leadership of the- American Federation of Labor?" The public can only watch and wait. In addition to these complications there is the natfonal distrust of Presi

dent Wilson's policies which enter into the situation. Business men generally feel that the president has sided too often and too earnestly with labor; that hie whole administration has been prolabor, especially pro-labor union. They have never forgiven nor have thy forgotten the administration policy toward railway employes. But If it were nt for another factor, which has developed within the last week, they might in view of the general labor unrest, yield to the president's advice and avert a strike, if they could without yielding t Fitzpatrick, and await the outcome of the Washington conference. But about one week ago, news was circulated among the big business lead

ers that th president's reasons for calling the conference in Washington were based upon his plans of establishing the so-called "Rock Island" system in industry throughout the country. This plan, it is said, will be suggested by the president as a means of solving our "labor problem." It is the plan of "industri.al democracy. " which the War Department, under Secretary Bakr, h.is introduced in the government arscnil al Hock Island, 111. BXCrAED IT WITH PEAK. Con.- r utiv e manufacturer.4 look upon this as introducing the Soviet system in industry in this country and they ar? more opposed to that than they are to John Fitzpatrick. They claim. that under the Kock Island plan the men chooso their own bosses and "run" the industry. I have not been through the government arsenal, and so I cannot vouch for the accuracy of these beliefs. Hence the big business Interests of the nation are not inclined to do anything to avert a strike, nor are many of them particularly sympathetic with the president's conference, especially since they have come to "fear" that the president will recommend the "Rock Island" plan to the business Interests.
