Gomper American Federa: bor, presid and ough the meas. ure was put upon the record books of the erecutive couneil of the Jederation. The grievances of organised labor against the steel corporation as set forth in the resolution have been forwarded to Prasi- dent Taft and the United St.les senate and f representatives. The governors ates in which the United Steel corporation éwns Diants or has interssts will recelve a copy of the resolution The resolution in part follows “A crisis In the affairs of arisen The gigantic trust, t States Steel corporation, is using wealth and power workers of their right of American man- hood and of opportunity resist its further enercachments. Grown rich by (he consent of the people of our country. corporation, in its mad greed for still greater riches, sweeps aside, makes and unmakes law. its enactors and executors. and Is now engaged in an effort to destroy the oni factor—the organigzations of its employes—standing between it and unlim- ited. unchecked and unbridled industrial, political, social and moral carnage. If there exists any virile power In our time and life to check the absolute autoeratic domination of civie, industrial and political life of our people and our republic, it must be found in the indomitable will and mis- #ion of the much misunderstood and mis- represented organizations of labor. “The United States Steel corporation has declared wer on labor. In its sectet coun- clis this o -poration has dicreed that the only obstacle to its complete sway—organ- ised labor—shall be crushed The labor organizations consist of its employes, the workers, their wives and little ones, hu- mAn flesh and blood. 1t is by their labor that they live, they have no purpose other than self guarding their lives, their char- escter, their future, the safety of the re- public, and humanity. “These factors now confront each other. By their purposes, attitude and actions must they be judged. ‘On June 1 130§, the United States Steel corporation proclaimed its decree of hos- tility toward labor. The right of the work- ers to associate for their common protec- tion was no longer to be recognized or tolerated. Accompanying that decree was a notice of & further reduction In the al- ready scant wages of the workers. The decree went into effect July 1 1808, that an earncst effort be made to thoroughly or- garize all employes in the iron, steel and tin plate industry and subsidiary co-related trades. Owing to immediate pressing necesd- rity caused by the present strike and the indefensible hostile attitude of the United States Steel corporation, we earnestly call upon all national and international unlons of America to send at least one organizer to assist in this work. We further urge and recommend that in all places where muiils are located, the central labor or- ganizations appcint special committees with irstructions 1o co-operate in this work. For educational purposes we recommend that this manifesto be made a special order in ali central labor organizations at the first mecting in January, 1910 'We recommend that the executive coun- cil of the American Federation of Labor issue & circular to a!ll unions of Ameriea an Appeal for financial contributions to ald the striking steel and tin plate ‘workers. 'We further recommend that the amount of such contribution should not be less than 10 cents per member. “In view of the great wrongs perpetrated By the United States Steel corporation, not only against the workers, but the public generally, we recommend that a committee be appolnted by this conference to wait upon the president of the United States, the presient of the United States senate, the speaked of the house of representatives and such members of either house of com- $ress as may be deemed advisable for the purp of laying before thkem the griev- ances from which labor suffers &t the sds of this corporation % of the Uszited States poration officers of local, munici- t have unwarrant- citizens, Invading to teed right of free n be appointed Dby 4pon the governors h ffional repre- municipalities stand polley of labor cot At the e ident of th ration in of La bouse « of the abor e has United its great in e to iron, n assemblage- mend that ittees this eonference to wait Slases and such ¢ entatives of counttes 3 are in contrel where corporat plants located the Purpose of presenting to these officials the giat wrongs inflicted upur peopie Of these communities. and that the com ittees demand an investigation and where charges made are substantiated by evi dunge, the officers responsible therefore 3 removed. and the wrongs immediately Aghted. “We apy eins for rt comn er Steel n bhas al to all liberty loving Amer- moral and financial sup- JAMES O'CONNELL, T L LEWIS, W.
