' ALL Vejvoda's Old Stand GOMPERS DEFENDS MOTIVES OF STRIK ING STEEL WORKERS LABOR FEDERATION HEAD DE CLARES THEY WANT RIGHT TO BE HEARD. Asserts That Foster Is No Longer a Believer in Violence. Washington, D. C, Sept. 2C. The issue in the nation-wide steel strike was defined today by Samuel Gom pers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, as recognition of the rights of employes "to be heard, to organize and to have some voice in determining conditions under vrhich they labor." Appearing as labor's second wit ness in the senate labor committee's investigation of the steel strike, President Gompers drew from his experiences as chairman of the first committee to organize the steel in dustry and traced the history of or ganized labor's efforts to unoinize the workers. When he finished, the committee adjourned until next Wednesday, at which time Judge Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, has promised to appear. President Gompers condemned un sparingly civic authorities in the western Pennsylvania steel centers and repeated many of the charges made before the committee yester day by John Fitzpatrick, chairman of the strikers' committee. Says Gary Responsible. "Whatever helps the corporation against the workers, that the author ities of Pennsylvania will be found doing," Gompers said at one point. Full responsibility for the strike he laid at the door of Judge Gary, who could have stopped it. he said, by granting a conference to the strike committee. Counter charges against the steel workers, involving the revolutionary radicalism of William Z. Foster, strike committee secretary, in par ticular, were met by Gompers with the assertion that Foster no longer was a syndicalist or a believer in violence. There were, several interludes. once when Senator Phipps, repub lican, of Colorado, read statements of President Wilson in 1909. to the effect that he was "a fierce partisan of the open shop." which brought a quick assertion from Gompers that President Wilson does not hold with what Dr. Wilson then said. Try to Tie Men to Jobs. Sen. Sterling, republican. South Iiakota. at another point read some steel company statistics, in reference to greatly increased pay of work men during the recent years and ef forts made by the company to place its stock among employes. In re ply, the labor chief said that the company had increased its earnings 400 per cent while increasing work men's pay 100 per cent and that its stock selling enterprises were "at tempts to tie the men to the jobs." "What we want is the right to have workers represented before their employers," he went on, "rep resented by counsel of ability, of courage and intelligence that can. cope with the power of the corpor ation chiefs and can fitly set forth the evils and injustices of plant and mill life. This war was fought against autocracy and won againt autocracy, whether autocracy of militarism or autocracy of industry. The day is past when an employer, no matter how great, can declare himself master of all he surveys." "Have Harvest To Reap Now." "It has been said that, most of the men taking part in this strike are of foreign birth and not naturalized citizens. That may be, and no doubt is true. The largest propor tion of steel corporation employes are of foreign birth, hut these men were brought here by the companies. 'fThere was for years a systematic effort to bring in these gangs from Europe. There was a systematic ef fort to eliminate Americans. They have a harvest to reap now." CHILDREN WILL NOT GET GRENADE BANKS Washington, D. C, Sept. 25.

Miss Emma Meservey, Fremont school teacher for twenty-five years, who resigned over a year ago to go into the business of breeding hogs, held a "dispersion sale" today and it was very successful, the total running into several thousands of dollars. Miss Meservey, who has worn feminalls and raised her own pigs, says the task is rather too strenuous for a woman. She will quit pi raising, but not the hog business, for she sees a big opening in the field of promoting sales of blooded hogs. Hereafter Miss Meservey will devote her attention to the adver tising end of the game, she says. SEEK TO CLOSE AFFAIRS OF NATIONAL FIDELITY Lincoln. Neb., Sept. 25. J. E Hart, secretary of finance, an nounces that application has been made in the Douglas county district court of Omaha to close up the af fairs of the National Fidelity and Camaly Co., of that city. This company was placed in the hands of A. G. Agee of Omaha as receiver in 1915. after it had sus tained losses it could not bridge over. It is said that one of the losses was on a policy held by Emil Hrandeis of Omaha, who lost his life on the-Titanic, which, with oth er losses, placed the company In a financial condition from which it could not recuperate.

Mr. Contryman being the only son and his father an invalid, in or der to support his parents, went out to work at his trade that of a car penter and from the proceeds of his labor bought back the same ox team he had traded for the land, and thus farming started on the land in the meager and slow ways of this country sixty years ago. Later he took up freighting to the markets of Denver, usually driv ing two yoke of oxen and one yoke of milch cows. The milch cows would be disposed of each time in the markets of Denver which would add to the profit of his cargo which was usually composed of flour and meat. He made a number of these trips across the plains to Denver and was recognized by his companions as being always the best shot with a rifle which was very essential among the freighters during the days of the red men on the plains. Mr. Contryman was of a very quiet nature and never boasted of what he did. He departed this life at the ripe old age of S6 years, leav ing to mourn his loss beside the aged wife, three sons and three daugh ters. Weeping Water Republican.
