Gary, chariman of the United Stains Stee! corporation, had dealt ?'in a flippant and autocrat ic fashion" with labor representatives; Samuel Gompers. president of . the American Federation of Labor, in summing up before the senate inter state commerce committee - organized labor's opposition to the anti-strike section of the Cummins railroad bill, said the steel strike was an example of the necessity for the use of the strike by labor unions. Appearance of Mr. Gompers before the senate committee came at the end of the second day of continued at tack by labor leaders aganist the pro vision of the Cummins bill which would make striking railroad men conspirators against commerce ami liable to' fine and imprisonment. The labor chief summarized the argu ments presented by P. J. Macnarnara. vice president of the firemens' and en gineers' brotherhood: J. E. Heberling. president of the switchmens' union; W. X. Doak. vice president of the trainmens' brotherhood: Andrew Fu ruseth of the seamens' union and oth er witnesses' and discussing the steel strike, declared: ' When Employers say there is noth ing to talk over, when they refuse to meet representatives of labor, when they say these representatives repre sent nobody, how else is there to con vince them but by a strike? Look at the steel strike now. That was the position Mr. Gary took. A letter to him from me sent last June is still unanswered. "A committee to see him was greet ed with the word that he had nothing to discuss with them. Tie .treated n> in a flippant and autocratic fashion. The strike is now on much to my re gret, because I wanted to see it de layed until after the president'^ in dustrial conference. "But if you knew conditions in dis tricts the Unfted States Steel corpora tion controls you would understand. Murder, assault, arrest of men. pnfthi bit ion of meetings on rented grounds, workers dispersed by thugs, gangsters, and detective crooks employed by the companies. A woman murdered in cold blood and the detective who lid, it released on bond -Of $2,500 while men arrested in the meetings are hell in ST..000 bail?" "Where is that?" a committee; member interrupted him. "At McKeesport, Pa.," Mr. Gompers rejoined. "That's the sort of thing we have to meet in guiding labor or ganizations. We've done and will con tinue to do our level best, men in th~ labor movement', to keep things going. Tint if you_ take from us our last ef fective form of appeal for necessary things, as this bill does, whatever comes, is on your ' head and not on ours." ?as. Marriage.

( "The American Cotton Assoeia-j iiion," says the statement "-urges the farmers of all the cotton States to euntinue to stand by the prices named ! ! at the New Orleans convention in! ?September with a sliding scale Of a j half cent increase each month until the price reaches 40 cents in May. '"The price was agreed upon after: much discussion and is recognized all 1 lover the country as a conservative.'! price, in fact a low price. At this price the spinners can operate their I mills and make a tremendous pro fit. X-o spinner has yet complained that the price is too high. ?'The price of cotton today at l?? cents a pound is a low price con sidering i he cost of production. ?"Foriy cents per pound for cotton i. a lovy'price according to the selling price of cotton goods, j '"Cotton today measured in the ] value of cotton goods is intrinsically j worth more than 50 cents per pound, j ?"There is no denial of the fact that ? cotton at -10 cents per pound is the j cheapest commodity that is being sold j today in th<? world's market j "Let the farmer be not deceived by j the tremendous amount of propa ganda that is being circulated in reference to the lack of credits in Eu : rope. ?"The American spinners are pros j poring almost beyond calculation.
