NEW YORK, October 6.—Two hun- dred affidavits charging violation of 2] | civil rights ‘through alleged acts of terrorism by the authorities of west-} ern Pennsylvania during the steell strike of 1918 have been made public by the commission of inquiry of the | Interchurch World Movement. These charges were contained in a supplementary ~reéport’ written by George Soule, which gave the basis| for the commission’s finding in its; main inquiry that the steel strike made thousands of citizens believe that our institutions were not demo- | cratic_or not demoeratically admin- istered and thht local magistrates and, police often tried to break strikes! with the aid of state and federal au- thorities. | The commission's report declaged that the steel corporations actively engaged in “local politics” and domi- nated the local governments. adding !that “the moment any subordinate in |the mill begins actively to oppose the political machine, he becomes a mark- ed man.” “Often political candidates are themselves members of the mill man- || agement,” the report added, “having the power of discharge, but in any case the superintendents and foremen take an active part in electioneering. “There are always watchers from || the mill lounging about the polls.| {The chances of corruption, through threat or through bribe, {which’ are latent,in this possibility || are obviously large. | “In short, the prestige and power lof the dominating industry is so great || { that political opposition rarely grows ||| beyond its primitive stages. " An ob- | server of long residence in Pittsburgh | jdeclared that the only thing that! would make the steel workers ind pendent in politics was a union ca- | pable of protecting them from dis charge.” An important element in the whole | situation, asserted the commission jwas the question of maturalization. as | imany of the workmen never had b come citizens, because of their “in ability to learn English and attend | to civic duties while working twelve| hours a day, seven days a week.” Accused of Suppressing Truth. The press was charged by the com- mission with suppressing the truth about conditions in western Pennsyl- vania during the strike. “Local newspapers suppressed what they knew and for the most part did not t to find out ‘what was happen- ing to the hunkie strikers, " said the report. “Correspondents 'of out-of- {town newspapers signally failed to ! !investigate.” i { The afidavits made public by the! icommission deal with the alleged per- jsecution by public authorities of strikers in Pittsburgh Braddock, But ler, Clairton, Donora, Duquesne, Fa rell, Homestead. Johnstown. McK port, Monessen, New Castle, New Kensington, Natrona and Woodlawn. Conditions were contrasted with con- ditions in Ohio and West Virginia, where civil rights, it was stated, were not denied and no violence attended the strikers’ exercise of their rights. Assaunlt and The commission id charges brought against constabulary. ~deputy sheriffs {company police, in affidavits and | statements to its investigators, “deal { with the murder of men and women | —one as he was in his own yard— and the wounding of hundreds of! thers: the, clubbing of hundreds; the jassaulting of men.while they.were lawfally and peacefully pursuing er- rands on the streets, and of prisoners while they were locked up in their cells; the arresting and holding of men | and women for long periods in the jails and’ police stations without provoca tion and even without definite charges | being lodged against them: the ex- cessive punishment meted out to these strikers by the different justices of | {peace, burgesses and police courts, |and the frank discrimination of the courts between those who were at {work and those who were out on| {strike; the frequent surrender of law | Iand its administration by public au- { thorities to local ompany official : “In a few towns the public officials {made flat denials of the charges of | i unwarranted arrests and assaults, as ! s done, for example. the head | f the state constabulary at Brad- !dock to a member of this commission: | { other officials, such as the sheriff and ! { chief of police of Newcastle, admitted | {that of about 100 persons arrested i during the first week of the strike at least forty were held without bail ‘as suspicious persons’ and that these would be held ‘until the strike is over, even if we have to build a new house to house them.’” - Free Speech and Assembly Denfed. The report found that denial of the rights of free speech and assembly to workingmen was practiced in Pennsylvania before the strike began. Local regulations and state laws, it was stated, were such as to facilitate suppression by local authorities who, in Pennsylvania steel towns, fre- quently were steel mill officials as well. The denials, it was asserted, long before the strike were based on the_ reasoning that meetings would {lead to unions, unions would lead to strikes and strikes to violence; there- | fore meetings should be prohibited. | After déscribing certain peaceful as- semblages of strikers after the strike started, the commission said: “That the claim of the public offi- | clals of Pennsylvania that meetings of | strikers must be prohibited in order to} avoid disorder and violence was not borne out by the facts is even more clearly brought out by a survey of the strike districts in the states of West! Virginia and Ohio, made by the com- mission’s representatives .during the tenth and eleventh weeks of the strike.” The way in which public officials and private interests seemed to work to- gether in western Pennsylvania, said | the report, “gives color to the view of the unfon men that a concerted effort was being made to deny the right of assembly in their towns for the pur- i pose, of_defeating the organizing cam- paign and helping to break the strike.” Unwarranted Search. After the strike began, the commis- ‘slon sald, the rights of the strikers were invaded by “wholesale raiding and arresting on flimsy and no_public- ly . recorded charges.” The affidavits | charged a long list of acts ©f “unwar- search and _destruction in homes.” Wholesale and in- urder. that the the state and dividual clubbings, principally by the{ ’ state constabulary, were detailed, and it was charged that the court meted out fines to the strikers when they ‘would not go back to work. In Clairton, the commission said, ac- | {cording to affidavits, the state con- stabulary rode down workmen in the uniform of discharged soldiers and “an American flag carried by the dis- icharged soldiers was torn down and trampled by the state police.”- The Donora affidavit charged armed negro strike-breakers with shooting strikers. Referring to the situation at New Castle, the commission’s report said: “Unlike the other towns in western Pennsylvania, the terrorization here was done entirely by the hired guirds of the companies, while the state police behaved with fairness, and, according to report, arrested a number of depu- ties. The number of people deputized varies from the strikers’ estimate of 1,200 to the admission of Sheriff Boyd of Lawrence county- that he had depu- tized over 500 men, “265 members of the board of trade and the rest ex- soldiers,” in addition tp the police ! sworn in under “coal and iron police.” The' Woman Suffrage Soclety oi, Philadelphia; active ird the equal suf- | frage fight for the past twenty-eight | Years, has disbandeds 1 14c a Day THE EVENING STAR.
