LABOR LEADERS PLANNING TO ATTACK STEEL INDUSTRY ‘Washington, Dec. 27.—The ne labor committee charged with continuing the effort to “organize the steel industry, plans to hold its first formal meeting here next month. Some of the members already here, express the opinion that the first meeting probably will be devot- ed largely to a survey of.the develop- ments of the year which has passed since the last attempt and the laying of grounds to continue the fight at a time which the leaders may consider oppor- tune:- The chairman of the re-organized com- mittee is M. F. Tighe, and the secretary now is William Hannon. William H. ohnson, president of the International Association of Machinists, is a member. Secretary Morrison; of the American 7| Federation of Labor, is expected to par- ticipate in the coming meeting, as he is trustee of the $70,000 fund which re- mained in the hands of the old organiza- tion committee When it was dissolyed. ‘When the election, of Chairman Tighe Wwas announced, and it became -known that John Fitzpatrick and W. Z. Foster, chairman and secretary, respectively, of the former committee, had not ' been chosen for places, some #f those who identify themselves as among the con~ servative element of the movement per- mitted the impression to go ‘out that Fitzpatrick and Foster had practically been eliminated from the organizing forces, on the issue of radicalism. Fitzpatrick and_ Foster and their friends resent any implication thet the action of the new committee in’choosing new officers was a repudiation of their leadership of last year's strike, bechuse of the igsue of radicalism which was so closely associated with it. —_—— ‘Windser.—Superintendent . of Schools Daniel Howard announced last week that the new portable schoolhouses which have recently arrived and been put in place at the Roger Wolcott school at Wilson ‘Sta- tion and the Roger Ludlow. school at ‘Windsor Center will be ready for occu- pancy at the opening of the ;:ext school term, Jan. 3.
