Broken, Says Green | AMERICAN LABOR CHIEF TALKS OUT Great Blow Struck Forces Striving to Bring Back Prosperity WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 24. —A oharge of bad faith and un- |sound policy is raised against the | wage cuiting of steel corporations | by Organized Labor, While President Hoover and his advisers remained silent, but with | serious intent, Willlam Green, Pres- ident of the American Federation |of Labor took the initiative in the | assertion the steel industry has ;brokcn a two-year-old pledge made | with the White House. The labor leader quoted a state- ment made by Julius Klein, Assist- |ant Secretary of Commerce, “there ;will be hell to pay throughout the | United States in the event of a general wage reduction.” The President of the American Federation said this now sounds like a !ozical conclusion and “no | greater blow than this has yet |been struck against the forces which have been serving to bring |about the return of prosperity.” | Yesterday it was announced that | the United States Steel, Bethlehem Steel and Youngstown Sheet Tube had cut wages 10 per cent. | Wage reductions were also an- Inounced by General Motors from 10 to 20 per cent; United States i U. 8.
