The report stated that the Reds used the strike to further their interests. The committee said the wage question was not involved in the the strike as steel workers as a whole were: “fairly well satisfied’ with their pay. The committee said: “Were.it not for the attempt to unionize the mills the strike, prob- ably would not have ocenrred.” The committee thought that Ia- borers in the mills had a just com- plaint relative to hours and that they had the right to have their complaint heard by the company. ra ip ea of | ordered the officials of the United Mine Workers to withdraw their! jstrke ord order.
