Steel's Chairman Lays I Walkout to Radicals' In-- ! flncnco on Foreigners. k Special Detpatch to Tqs Sox. Washington, Oct. 2. Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel Corporation, near the close of a two days session with the Senate Committee on Education and Labor Investigating tho steel strikes, outlined briefly his Idea of tho possible remedy for present social and Industrial unrest. He told the com- mittee that there Is unquestionably danger In tho power of concentrated capital and that It must bo placed under proper regulation to protect public Interest Likewise, he said, con- centrated labor must be controlled similarly and for the same reason. Judge Gary suggested a policy of Federal incorporation of great trial concerns, under which a commls-io-n would bo authorized to determine conditions on which charters or li- censes should be Issued to corpo- rations and to supervise their manage- ments and relations with their labor. He qualified this with the insistence that final determination must be left with the courts, to whoso fairness and ability he paid high tribute. Even more strongly than In his testimony of yesterday Judge Gary re- iterated the impossibility of entering into negotiations with organized laboi (ooKing iu incLEunituntLniui wieBirme. In his earlier testimony 'he had' In- sisted that he could not enter such negotiations because the union men among hla employees did not repre- sent more than 10 per cent, of the entire number. Will Tiot Confer, Gnry Insists. Senator Walsh (Mass.) asked to-d- if Judge Gary would enter tho nego- tiations If 90 per cent of the men were in tho union and only 10 per cent. out. Tou would not negotiate even In those circumstances?\ askedt Senator Walsh. \I have not said' that,\ replied the steel man. \Will you confer with organized labor to settle this striker' asked Senator Walsh. \I will not,\ was Judgo Gary's re- sponse In a most conclusive tone. Judge Gary denied vigorously that it had ever been the policy of the corpora- tion to fill its plants with foreigners In the belief that these could not be organized eo easily as Americans. The question of employing foreigners had never been before the corporation with any such Idea In mind. Nevertheless Judge Gary reiterated the belief that the present strike Is largely the result of radical Influence upon the foreign workers In the steel mills and declared that the company vould not keep In its employ any man whom It did not believe to be loyal to this country.. \How can your employees present grievances to the corporation?\ asked Senator Kenyon (Iowa), chairman of the committee. \The Government report of! 1912\ on conditions in the steel industry Indi- cated that the men had no way to present their cases; that they were without organized methods of doing so, that many were unable even to epeak Eng lish.\ How Workers Make Appeals. \Individually or through committees named by themselves,\ replied Judge Gary. \It Is often done. The foremen are always accessible to their men. \We have many ways of knowing and keeping In touch wltn the men. A few months ago, for'lllustratlon, a man was caned to account for a serious aerenc tlon of duty, and in explanation said ne was 'obeying orders from tne out' side,' Asked If he believed that was right ho said he felt obliged to do It. He was dlBcharced. \Presently a committee of his fellows appealed In his behalf, saying he was repentant. The case went to the presl dent of the company. I believe there were some union men In the. commit' tee presenting It, but that question was not raised. The president Decame con vinced that the man was really repent' nnt and ordered that If he really were c he should be taken back. \'Don't ask If he belongs to the union,' he said. That Isn't Involved. We don't want to do injustice to any man.' \It had been asked how men can pre-t'- nt grievances who don't understand Kngllah. That could be answered by suggesting that It would be just as dif- ficult for thtrn to present their cases to a labor union's executive. \The War Labor Board's Instructions cn relations between employer and em- ployee, for war times,\ suggested Sena- tor Kenyon, \declared that the right to organize In unions and to collective bar- gaining should not be .abridged. Did you subscribe to that for the period of the warr \That depends on the meaning of bargaining,\ said Judge Gary. \As the unions understand It, we did Contlnutd on Fourth Page. 87,000 LOSS BY WAR AD 'FLU' Dr. Biggs Reports Now York's Birth and Death Rates Lowest on Record. \ BATTLE TOLL EXCLUDED High Living Costs and Pre- vention of Dlseaso Aro Among Causes. Had there been no war and no Influ- enza epidemic, the population of the State would be 87,000 larger than It is y. The effect of war, since Janu- ary 1, 1918, haB reduced the normal birth rate by 36,000. Epidemic influ- enza caused the deaths of 51,000 per- sons. These figures were announced in a report by Dr. Hermann M. Biggs, State Commissioner of Health, Issued yesterday. They do not take into ac count the loss in population sustained by deaths In action, from wounds and Illness, In the military forces of the State. Against the lowest birth rate per- centage on record Dr. Biggs sets a new low record for deaths. In July and August, this year, the birth rates and the death rates were the lowest for many years, he said. Loss In popula- tion Is usual In warring countries, but at present Dr. Biggs finds high prices and high living costs acting as a check upon the birth rate. After war, ho said, the birth rate usually advances. The decline In birth rate la being re- flected on a different scale In Euiope, according to Dr. Biggs's report. In the three years of the war beginning In 1914 France suffered a birth rate de- cline cf .2 per cent., and In England and Germany the rate dropped to the lowest percentage on record. Illrth nte I.ovr for Months Tor several months the birth-ra- te of New York State has been remarkably low,\ said Dr. Biggs. \The rates of 18.7 and 18.8 tot- - 1,000 population for July and August are the lowest recorded In this State since reliable data have been available. These are a fifth lower than the rate for these months In tho 1918 and for the corresponding months In the five years, 1913-1- 7. The rate for the first eight months of this year is 20.2, which Is 11 per cent, lower than the rate for these months In 1918, and 16 per cent, lower than the rate for three months In the five years, 1914-1- 8 Inclusive. In each month of 1919 the birth rates for the whole State have been lower than the rates for the same months in any year since 1913. \In New York city, although the num- ber of births has for many years ex- ceeded the\ deaths, the- - birth rate for 1918 was 23.G, the lowest annual rate in sixteen years, and thus far in 1919 it has been even lower than this, the rate for tho first eight months being 10 per cent, lower than that for the eame period of last year and for the five years previous. Must Incrcnne Preventive Work. In explanation of the mortality fig- ures Dr. Biggs said that since the Influ- enza epidemic the greatest vigilance has been exercised by the physicians of the State to check disease. He says the duty now devolves upon the medical profession, the public and the health au- thorities to cooperate In every way to keep the figures down. The efforts to reduce Infant mortality should be redoubled, Dr. Biggs declared, and all precautions against sickness ana accident energetically enforced. Educa-(k- e tlonal measures can do much to main- tain the exceptional record now achieved. NON-PARTISA- N DEBT HELPS SHUT BANK League Has $148,824 of $1, ' 600,000 Liabilities.. Faroo, N. D., Oct. 2.

Still riding the high wave of baseball fame and for- tune, and basking more than ever be- fore In tho warm smiles of that ficklo dame whom men call Luck, tho Cin- cinnati club scored a second victory in tho world series this afternoon. Tho champfons of tho National League de- feated the Chicago Americans by 4 to 2 In a contest which was crowded with stirring moments and in which tho ever pressing White Sox were con- ceded to bo very in the running until' tho final out had been recorded. More than 30 000 persons who jammed themselves Into Redland Field were favored with a contest which was rather singular in world series history. They saw the Chicago batsmen outhlt tho Cincinnati club by 10 to 4. They saw Harry Sallee, the long, lean left- hander who pitched for the Reds, get himself Into critical situations tlmo and again. And time and again the Cincinnati partisans were hurled Into the wildest of frenzy as Sallee, through some mas- ter stroke of his arm or bis baseball wise head, some great bit of play by his teammates, or the timely lnterfer-onc- a oM3amo Fortune,, extricated him- self from his acute distress and went merrily along the broad highway of success. Claude Williams, tho lefthander, pitched for tho White Sox, and while he was largely blame for his defeat, ho was the victim of circumstance, the T under dog in a never ceasing bid for the breaks in a game in which the breaks were many and they nearly always persisted in coming tho assistance and rescue of the Cin- cinnati team.

CITY'S RECEPTION TO-DA- Y King Albert Views Town by Motor and Queen Elizabeth Goes on Shopping Tour. Albert King of the Belgians, arrived In America yesterday. They say that ho is tho least ostentatious of all monarchs; that his court Is simplest; his train least Imposing and his home life as real as the least pretentious of his subjects. If that bo so, he clung to his wonted simplicity yesterday. A groat tall, quiet man he was standtng-a- t the foot of tho gangplank that connected the George Washington wltli Pier 4, n, looking down into nt Marshall's face and almost mur- muring his undowered reply to the t's speech of welcome. He Is no stranger to America. There Is not a man, woman or a child old enough to comprehend who docs not know what Albert Leopold Clement Maria Melnrad did when the Kaiser demanded that Belgium permit Ills hordes to uso Belgium as a short cut to Paris. There Is something serene, Imposing, inspiring about the look of him. He was wearing the uniform of a Lieutenant-Genera- l, and he looked like one. There Is a suggestion of great physical strength about his shoulders and the carriage of his head. Ilia face Is as ruddy as that of a Flemish goose girl, and In his wide set eyes there Is nothing of that brood ing, sorrowing smoulder that writers have put there. Instead they are clear, direct, finely fired and almost alerf A slmplo dignity clothes the man. Itnynl Party Lnnda' at Noon. King Albert came down the gangplank a minute or two after the 'bells of en had sounded the noon hour. Fol- lowing him, at about five paces, was Queen Elizabeth, a woman as simple of manner as her heroic husband; of all European women the woman who Is closest and dearest to the hearts of American womanhood. She was dressed all In white, just as she reentered Brus sels with her King at tho head of the remnants of the Belgian army after Ger- many capitulated. Next followed the heir to the Belgian throne.

The bay was smooth. The rain rippled It and tho togs shrouded It. The mountainous skyline of Manhat- tan was ghostly like the Sierras from afar Higher than the heavier fog banks rose the great downtown building, seem- ing to float above the clouds and de- tached from their bases. The Jersey shore was but a hint, a suggestion, no more. Now and then a slow wind broke through the murk and uncurtained for a few seconds the Statue of Liberty, more Tiugo and more magnificent for it. Srnnlancs Give NoWjr Welcome. Six seaplanes, droning and swerving, roaring and circling as though the air lanes were heavy and hard of negotia- tion, Balled Into the bay from Rockaway Point They crossed and recrossed the water, swooping below the clouds to get their bearings and soaring above with their wirelesses spitefully spitting. Down below Quarantine they found the trans- port surging up the bay. Then they fell Into triangular formation, with the lead, lng plane above and out beyond the George Washington's bow. In a wide circle and constantly alert seven thin destroyers surrounded the liner. Hugo and helpless seemed the transport by comparison.

But the fog was dense and only now and then did he find a wind lane through the mist Into which he tried to look. If he found the harbor changed and the skyline dif- ferent, he told no one but his consort The Queen had her faithful camera with her. It Is said that she has the most amazing as well as valuable col- lection of photographs In the world.

Labor Expert of the \Ixmdon Timet.\ Special Cable Detpatch to Tbi Sch from the London Timet Service, Capyripht, all rtohtt reterved. London, Oct 2. Efforts of the lead- ers of the Transport Workers Federa- tion and other trnde unionists to se- cure resumption of negotiations be- tween the Government and the rail- way men failed y, but this does not necessarily imply that there Is any Immediate prospect of an extension of the strike from the railways to other Industries. This is indicated in the statement of James H. Thomas, secre- tary of the Rallwaymen's Union, that other trades unions are to \make an- other effort\ before themselves taking any action. It is confirmed by the writer's Information about the tone and temper of the leaders of the other trades unions. I understand that throughout the discussions between the Government and the deputation of eleven from tho Caxton Hall conference the spokes- men of the deputation abstained from anything like threats or bluster and sought to make It plain that while they wero anxious to avoid any stop- page, either by tho transport workers or by any other section, In sympathy with the railway men, their chief con- cern was to, restore relations between the Government and the railway men to bring the railway strike to an end. In other words they were more nnx-lo- about obtaining a settlement of the strike than about getting any Justi- fication for extension of It It Is stated In particular that Robert Williams, sec-- 1 rotary of the Transport Workers Fed- - eratlon, whom nobody would accuse of excessive moderation.

There Is eom ground for stating that some, at any rate, of the members of the deputation are by no means con- vinced that they could Justify to their own members the calling of a sympa- thetic strike on the present Issue.

S. and Britain Unanimously Indorsed. lly LAURENCE HILLS. Staff Correspondent of Tn Sex. . Copyright, MIS, oil righf reterved. Pxms, Oct. 2. Tho Chamber of Dep- uties y ratified the treaty of peace with Germany by a vote of 372 to 53, but in a spirit of rebellion against many of its terms and with the majority placing no confidence whatever In the Lengue of Nations scheme as It stands Interwoven In the treaty. Later the Chamber rntlfled unanimously the treaties of alliance with the United States and Great Brit- ain, 501 votes being cast for each. It has been made clear throughout the debato on the treaty that, as in America, the French representatives bellevo in the principle of the league, but consider the covenant In Its pres- ent form a delusion and virtually worthless to Franco as a guarantee for Its future security against tho German menace. The chief supporters of the league idea, tho Socialists, de- nounce it, and only the personal fol- lowers of Clcmenceau have spoken In Its defence. As regards the support of Premier Clemenceau himself, It has been mado known In private talks with' his Inti- mates, he still smiles at the attempt to apply Idealism to the troubles of the world. The debates of the last few days revealed that tho Government would obtain ratification only because there is a strong desire to bring France back to a normal basis quickly, becauso of the demand for early elec- tions, and for tho reason that at the eloventh hour the Government agreed to reopen negotiations with the Allies after ratification with a view of cor- seting some of the deficiencies of the treaty, these questions being the dis- armament of Germany, some new ap- portionment of tho cost of the war, and reparations. These features havo been criticised throughout the debate nnd front every part of the Chamber. Coulil Not Afford Crisis. The power of Premier Clemenceau haf been used successfully to obtain rati- fication because France could not af- ford to have a political crisis at the present ttmn. Deputy Franklin Bouillon tn a scahlng denunciation ot the treaty yesterday said a minimum of peace and a maximum of anarchy represents the Bplrlt with which many voted for thi treaty.

Special Detpatch to Tns Sex. Washinoton, Oct 2. Thirty-fiv- e amendments' to tho peace treaty pro- posed by Senator Fall (N. M.) and adopted by the Foreign Relations Committee wero defeated In the Son-at- e y. The lowest majority against any ot tho amendments, which aimed to prohibit American participation in the European settle- ments arising from the war, was fif- teen Tho Democrats In the day's voting presented a solid front against the amendments with the exception ot Senators bore (Okla.) and Thomas (Col.), who had announced their stand as opposed to tho treaty previously. The first amendment taken up Was one which proposed to eliminate the United States from membership on tho committee to determine the boun- dary between Germany and Belgium. This amendment was defeated by a vote of 58 to 30 and was accepted as a test of Senate sentiment on the pro- posals to follow. The second amendment, which aimed to bar the United States from partici- pation In international adjustments relating to Luxemburg, also was de- feated, this without n roll call. Vote Without Roll Call. By unanimous consent a vote was taken quickly on twenty-si- x following amendments of- - tho same general tenor. These also were voted down Without a call of the roll. The next amendment which called for action was ono to eliminate the United States as one of the responsible Powers in tho protective measures toward the new Czecho-Slova- k State. This pro- posed amendment went down to a de- feat, with tho vote 63 to 28 against it. Two amendments which proposed that the United States withdraw from the settlements affecting Silesia were voted upon together and were defeated, 31 to 16. A vote of 56 to 31 was re- corded against a proposal that the United States have no representation on the Saar Basin Commission. Threo of the remaining four amend- ments were defeated by acclamation, and the Senate then adjourned without action on the proposal to eliminate American representation from the Repa- rations Commission. This amendment of Senator Fall will be taken up later. Of the other amendments still await- ing action six call for changes in the Shantung award and two propose an equalization of the voting power In the League of Nations. One of those last two amendments Is that proposed by Senator Johnson (Cal.) This would give the United States an equal voting power with Great Britain and Is re- garded as the strongest of the Repub- lican measures to amend the treaty. Ratification Impossible. 's action disclosed tor the first lime the actual strength ot the opposi- tion to the League of Nations covenant and insured beyond peradventuro to the whole country that tho wishes of Pres- ident Wilson for ratification ot the peace pact and the covenant unchanged will not be gratified. As vote followed vote as punctuations of the five minute discussions of tht amendments designed to remove Amer- ica from participation In the numerous boards, committees and commissions dealing with' the Internal affairs of liurope, the fact was borne home to Ad- ministration leaders that the opposition to ratification without reservation pos. sensed far more than the necessary third cf the Senate with which to defeat rat- ification altogether If the amendments by the Senate are not to their satisfac- tion. Forty Senators OnHne4l. In point of fact It was shown In the course of the day's deliberations that at least forty Senators, seven more than the necessary third, stand ready to vote \no\ on ratification if the Senate re- jects the four reservations backed by the Foreign Relations Committee and additional reservations making provi- sion for the withdrawal of the United States from participation In any of the affairs of Europe or Africa at her own option, besides reservations designed to equalize the representation of the United States with Great Britain and her autonomous colonies In the League of Nations Assembly. Tho roll call on the first vote showed by counting the pflrs on the amend- ment that the minimum strength of the Senate opposition wns on the surface 34 votes. But It was at once noted that In addition to the thirty-fou- r Senators, Cummins (Iowa) and Kenyon (Iowa), whose purposes repeatedly havo been defined by themselves where reserva- tions are concerned, were voting against (his particular amendment. Also Sena- tor Jones (Wash.) In later votos did not follow the course Indicated In the first test. Penntor Thomas also shifted on later votes and Senator Isnroot (WU.) In a brief ipeech explaining his position said he would vote for a reset vatlon re- serving to the United States the right of withdrawal from any of the commis- sions dealing with questions of Euro- pean affairs at tho option of Congress.
