By Martin Green. (Special Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) Copyright. L91¥. by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York Mreting Worley; ground of the strike in the steel industry, and a survey of the. battle ground, occupying all of yesterday, establishes that it is a precarious terrain for the strikers. The American Federation of Labor organizers, who are running the strike, are battling against these odds: First—They have been unable to organize the skilled and halt | skilled Jabor in the Pittsburgh mills, the highly paid rollers, farnace | men and mechanics, of whom a negligible number are on strike. Second—They have fanned to a considerable degree of heat a racial antagonism which has existed in the Pittsburgh steel district ever since the manufacturers began to import or employ cheap labor from southern and southwestern Europe, This antagonism was ac centuated during the war, and, try as they will, the strike leaders ure unable to counteract the public impression that this is a strike of foreigners, aimed indirectly at the Government of the United States, ird—The strikers and their leaders are unable to hold publie mectings out of doors anywhere in the Pittsburgh district, because the police won't let them. Fourth—The smokestacks of the four big plants of the United States Sivel Corporation are belching clouds of smoke by day, and the blast furnaces are shooting up pillars of fire by night, and the whole Monongahela Valley is continually smothered under a smoke haze such as prevails when the steel industry is under fnll headway, which evidences of industry are not conducive to stiffening the back» ‘of the strikers, who were told before they went out that the steel busivess im the Pittsburgh distriet would be killed within forty-eight ho. vs, Fifth—The Strike Committee ts shy of money, the bulk of the tm itation fee of 88 per man having been eaten up by overhead costs, and the prospect of obtaining fvads for paying strike benefits from the in- ternational organizations maintaining unions in the steel mills appears tw be extremely slim, Sixth—The United States Steel Corporation steel companies haye concentrated all their resources and reserves im the Pittsburgh district, aud the apparent success of the strike in Chicago and other sections may be partially set down to the fact that : the manufacturers made no particalar efforts to keep those mills open. Al | | dane omy which recognition would immediately lead to demands for higher pay and shorter hours and the closed shop, the United States Steel Corporation is prepared to spend hi millions of etal To avoid recognizing the reds of ® And there ts the situation in con- yerete form, On the one hand ts the «| BETHLEHEM STRIKE WMLESS | \imost powerful i the United | Justrial organization skeleton labor organization, ai- vide d against itself and without suf. {Order Will Affect 35,000 in All| ici nt financial resources.
