Spreads Over Fifteen City Blocks; Trouble , First Starts When Workmen Were Permitted To Leave For Lunch Pittsburg, Pa.. Oct. 21. Bioting, which broke out in the Braddock steel mill district today, was renewed tonight when a crowd of about fifty strikers and their sympathizers clashed w-tyh several workmen who had just left one of the plants shortly before 7 o'clock. One man was shot during the melee and many others there were injured. , State troopers attracted by the noise of the fight, rushed to the scene on their mounts, and rode into the mob, using riot clubs freely. When the troopers put in an appearance, tho ' crowd greeted them with a ahower of ! atones clubs and bottles, and an un- i identified man drew a revolver and fired five shots, one of which struck Joseph Dinnock, in the vicinity of whose home the disorder occurred. He was not sc , riously hurt. 1 Score Are Injured. The troopers finally dispersed the mob ; and arrested two men, who registered at I the police station as Joseph Owener, aired 34, and Von Vash, aged, 45, both ' of Braddock. The two prisoners, ac cording to the police have sustained severe injuries in the fight. In the rioting of today and tonight : more than a score of workmen were in I jured it is said and they were rushed : to the emergency hospital at the Ed gar Thompson steel works.

Tho disorders today covered aa area of fifteen city squares, resulted ia in. ; juriea to many persons and the arrests i ef twenty men who are held on charges J of carrying concealed weapons, sua : piclous persons, rioting and disorderly I conduct. The most serious fray today occurred at Braddock, where workmen in the Edgar Thompson plant of the Carnegie ' Steel Company were permitted to leave j the mill for their lunch, the first time since the strike was declared. When I they attempted to return they were I surrounded by a crowd near the mill i gate and almost immediately fighting started. I The situation soon passed beyond j control of the town police and State ' policemen were summoned from Kan l kin, near by. They answered the call i mounted, and quickly cleared the streets i although a number of persons wera in jured before quiet was restored. -Fourteen men were arrested and the mounted officers remained on duty in the streets. No estimate of the number of injured was made by the authorities, who aaid that most of them were for eigners who were taken in hand by friends and not aent to hospitals. Seven, however, were cared for in aa emer-. gency hospital including one trooper ?X?l;tOitoto Recall Ticket' Goes to duty. Ceaference of Organisers.

Although another effort will be made tomorrow to bring peaxe to the industry the strike tonight loomed big and close at hand and leaders of the two sides, speaking frankly and gravely, aaid there was little hope. While the full scale committee, rep resenting minera and operators, were fighting their battles today behind a elosed door, a strike storm rafted to the Senate, and Federal agencies looked up the law, fully convinced it would have to be invoked to save the country from untold distress and suffering, with mines shut down and less than a month's stock on hand to keep fires burning. Little Hope of Settlement. Filing out of. the meeting place, the miners and operators, nearly one hun dred of them, went their separate ways to diseuss the crisis, the former led r-y John Ii.

The two committees in separate groups filed into the asaombly hall of the Bed Cross building and sat down shortly before noon while Secretary Wilson went to the front and without ceremony announced that they had been asked to met and adjust their griev ances. Pleading for immediate settle ment of tho strike, the secretary shewed how it would affect the public, how it would close industrial plants, and stop freight and passenger trnfne be cause of the limited1 coal stocks held by the railroads.

Frank Flowers, by a majority of 1,435 out of a total. vote of 8,279. Commissioners Weairn, and Page received about the same majorities over W. H. Hall and D. Lb Kistler, recall candidates. The election concluded one of the bit terest campaigns ever waged in thia city aad the vote was one of the largest ever polled. The issue in the campaign waa the stand and the conduct of the adminis tration and the police department during the street-car men's strike in August, which reached a elimax in a riot at the car barna about midnight August 25, when five men were shot and killed. The recall forces charged that these-; men were unlawfully shot by the po licemen whoae action was ratified by the city commissioners. The adminis tration forces maintained that the po licemea fired only in discharge of their lawrul duty when menaced by a mob that threatened to lynch one of their number and proposed to" dynamite the ear bares to - "get" strike breakers quartered therein. Both aidea claimed in the eampalgn to be fighting for law and o'der. The recall candidates bad the unofficial backing of organized labor and the ticket waa known aa the "labor ticket," though the returns are declared to prove that union men did not vote at alt sol idly for tho recall.

INDUSTRIAL BODY ELY REJECTS President Wilson's Message of Conciliation Fails To Bring Agreement CONFERENCE CLEANS ITS SLATE ENTIRELY Publio Group Aligns Itself With Capital In Vote Against Both Original Collective Bargain ing and Steel Strike Resolu tions; Labor, Delegates Dis heartened By Result Washington, Oct. 21. After a day of Wilson sent to Secretary Idne, chair man, a message of conciliation to lie used as a "last resort," the national in dustrial conference tonight cleaned its slate by rejecting all collective bargain ing resolutions at well as the labor prpr posals for. intervention in (he steel strike. The publie group aligned with capital on the vote aganst both the original collective bargaining and steel strike resolutions. although the declaration on collective bargaining waa proposed by the publie delegates who are members of that group. Prior to the vote on the original declaration, the employers' sub stitute and two new amendments hy Thomas U Chadbourne. chairman of the conference's central committee, met de feat. Only the employers favored the substitute, and labor and capital nnited in their opposition to the amendmenta. Mast Start Over Again. When the conference reeonvenea to morrow mortiing it will be in practically the same position aa at the opening on October nth. In adjourning the session tonight. Secretary Lane declared that the conference "had produced nothing" and advised it to take a new start by ad journing ."or several days while a co ordination committee of not more than six members frames a program of ac- tion. Defeated on every point, and having lost the support of the public group which heretofore has been on the side of the workers, the labor delegate left the conference hall, tonight disheartened and feeling as some ef them, aaid, that little could be gained by further meet ings. However, a meeting of the gronp haa beea called for 9 o'clock tomorrow morning and individual members will be bound by action taken at that time. Should labor show a disposition to bolt the conference Chairman Lane will undoubtedly use the President's letter in an effort to avert the 'crisis. Bead ing of the letter waa said to be eutirely discretionary with the chairman, who declared that he would not produce it unless the situation became acute. Al though labor may force the disclosure of its eontenta, it was generally predict ed tonight that the workers would not withdraw. The President's message, it waa understood, restated the purposes for which the conference was convened, emphasized the urgency of the need for allaying industrial unrest, and makes a plea for further work on the part of the conferees. The morning session of the confer ence lasted only a few minutes, and the afternoon meeting, 'during which quick action was obtained, was not con vened until 5 o'clock. The entire day waa devoted to group meetings in an attempt to devise another declaration on collective bargaining satisfactory to all elements. After more than three days of almost continuous sessions, the employers were unaulo to agree upon another statement and fell back upon the' Whee1Jr"eubatitute. Try To Get Compromise. Members of tho publie group at tempted to effect a eompromiso by the substitution of the words "associations of their own choosing, for "trade and labor unions' in the clause of the group's resolution guaranteeing work ers the right to organize, and the five labor representatives on the general committee of fifteen spent two hours in joint meeting with the publie explain ing labor's objections to the change. This amendment was introduced by Mr. Chadbourne, but the public group alone voted favorably.

B. That He Has Been Appointed Repre sentative of Shippers The News and Observer Bureau, 603 District National Bank Bldg. By R. E. POWELL. (Special Leased Wire.) Washington, Oct. 21. Lieutenant Maynard's arhedule to visit the Samp son County Fair haa brought about a general misunderstanding in the War Department and in the office of the North Carolina Senators. Senator Overman today obtained from Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of staff, assur ance that nothing would be done to prevent the "Flying Parson" giving an exhibition in his home county the first week in November and Seantor Sim mons received a letter from Major Gen eral Menoher, chief of the Air Service, in which the director says "he cannot approve of permitting him to gite such a flight." Maynard, however, has wired the Sampson Democrat that ho would be there and would fly down in the plane with which he made the cross country night. Henator Overman has been aa- aured both by Brig.-Uen. William Mitchell, chief of the flying corps of the army, and by General March, that Maynard would be permitted to go to Clinton next, month and to use what ever plane he chooses. General March substantially told the junior Senator that Maynard could use' the plane he made the cross-country flight with or could eome down on the traia and take a plane from Camp Bragg. The Par son haa indicated that he prefers to liy down from MineOla Field. General Mitchell first assured Hubert Martin, .secretary to Senator Overman, mat Maynard would be allowed to moke the exhibition flight at the Sampson Fair in spite of the department order againat exhibitions other than for gov ernment business. Senator Simmons waa advised to the contrary bv General Menoher, so Senator Overman went to see General March. General March as sured Senator Overman that the promise of Brigadier-Genera! Mitchell would not be interferred with, aad that May nard could not only go home during the fair, but ronld take any plane he wished and use it during the celebra tion. However, ia the face of this, General Menoher. wrote Mr. Simmons today s . "In reply io your request of October 18 that Lieutenant B. W.

CONTROVERSY NOT TO STOP IvIAYNARD DEMOCRATS MAYBE FORCED TO ACCEPT E C0MPR01V1ISE Treaty Opposition Forces An nounce Complete Agreement On Program . - -rj!"' CONSIDER SERIOUSLY ' v REPUBLICAN PROPOSALS Majority Spokesmen Serve What Is Practically Ultima, ftum Upon -Administration Side, Which Is Followed By All-Day Conference; The Reservation Program . Washington, Oet. 21. The question of Jjiceepting peace treaty reservations without further opposition was earn estly considered by Democratic Senate leaders today under the pressure of de velopments pointing to aa early show dowa in the ratification fight. The treaty opposition forces announc ing at last a complete agreement oa a reservation program by the Senate ma jority, brought the situation to aa un expected issue by' serving -notice thai their proposal would go before the For eign Relations Committee tomorrow, when the administration leaders would be asked to go on record definitely at accepting or rejecting it. Described by the majority spokesmes aa in the nature of an ultimatum, ths announcement was followed by a con ference on the administration side which laated all day but resulted in ao final decision. Senators who were present aaid that while some of the leaders stood out determinedly against any eompro- mise, thero was an apparent dispositioa oa the part of Senator Hitchcock and others to consider seriously ths nraeti. ! eabilitr of such atn. The Reservation Program. The reservation program aa it ia to be presented to the committee for ap proval waa not made publie, but it was understood to embrace nine-reservations evolved from suggestions gathered from the many sources. The subjects said to be covered were the following: The right of this country to judge whether its obligations Hid beea ful filled in ease of withdrawal from tho League of Nationa, the unimpaired pow er of Congress to decide questions of peace or war under article ten; domes tie decision of all domestic questions preaervatioa unaffected of the Monroe Doctrine; refusal to be a party to the Shantung settlement; equalization of voting power ia the league; congres sional selection of American represen tatives ia the learuei limitation of the I powers of such representatives and I those on international eommiasions; j and nullification of the right of the in i trnational labor conference to chal lenge the eligibility of American repre sentatives in international labor bodies. One disturbing element in this pro gram for the administration leaders waa the fact that they had heard the article ten reservation followed closely' the language of one presented in the Senate during the day by Senator Mc Cumber, Bepubliean, of North Dakota, which in turn was in almost the exaet language which President Wilson an nounced in hia Cheyenne, Wyo. address would be regarded by him "as a rejec tion of the treaty." May Oppose notification. Behind the majority's proposals, it is declared hy their sponsors will stand all of the forty-nine Bepublicani and at least six Democrats leaving aa a maximum forty-one Democrats oppos ing them. In these circumstances the administration managers wera . told their only hope of 'defeating the pro-1 gram was to votoV against ratification after the reservations have beea put " into the ratification, resolution. Some of tht, Dcmu-rats want to pursue that course, and the federal predictioa to night waa that eoina'':ee action would b-.- : ought off tomoirow to give the ad ministration forces a dny or two to think the mRjter over. In their conference today Ihe Demos cratie leaders did not have before them the actual wording of the reservations aa agreed on by the majority, but they ha I liecn told that he four generally regarded as most important relatirg to withdrawal, domestic questions, tho Mo-, roe "Doctrine and article ten, fol lowed "almost word for . word" those put into the Senate record by Senator McCumber. Most of- the argument, therefore, waa over these four as pre sented by the North Dakota Senator. In all seven reservations were ia tha McCumber aeries, the other three re lating to Shantung and equal votes ia tho league. Mr. McCumber waa one of theaevea original "mild reservation- sta" who, under the leadership of Senator MeNary, lepublican, Oregon, agreed last July to a definite program. He said the plan he presented today waa the outgrowth of conferences be tween this group and Republicans who favored "stronger reservations.'' v Follows Taft Draft.
