I Whether this assumption is well, founded or not, the fact remains that the leaders of these men are radical: William Z.

However, a noticeable percentage iy of the strikers resents the term “foreigner.” Fathers of grown chil- dren who have been educated in the public schools and are earning good wages proclaim themselves Amer- fcans. It is among these that the first big| break Will conte unlers Foster and his agpociates are able to put more of a © punch in their strike before long. j Foster udinits that most of the men om strike are foreigners by birch, but he says the reason is that the per. | centage of foreign laborers in the steel) S mills is higher in the Pittsburgh dis- | trict than elsewhere.

If he loses here the A. F. of L. effort to organize the steel industry must be written down as a gigantic failure. STRIKERS MAY STAMPEDE BACK TO WORK. The question ts, how is he going to win—or try to extend his operations? | Undoubtedly he will continue to gain recruits from the ranks of unskilled labor, but he stands in daily danger of a stampede of strikers back to work. Thus far the tactios of the strikers have been confined to persu: and friendly v loyal workmen, with information that if Johnny keeps on working there will probably be a job for Joe Bzywyszki, the undertaker. In thickly settl sections these neighborly visits and intimations have proved quite «| cossful. However, unless Foster can agitate, his personally conducted strike can- not go forward, and w strike which does not completely tie up an indds- try must go forward or else it will so backward, There is no such thing as standing still If success Is to be achieved. That is why the Bteel offl- | y Foster, in conversation with report ors on Tuesday, referred several times to the numerous undor-nourished and downtrodden children in rm STEEL WORKERS AS FROM (Continued From First Page.) toward the strike was dispelled by the letters. It was shown that he had requested the Steel Workers’ but when his request was overruled, backed up the unions, At the conclusion of Mr. Rubin's eading Fitzpatrick was placed on the stand. “I preter to stand,” he said in an- ‘wer to a question from Senator Ken- yon as to whether he preferred to testify standing or sitting. Suave but belligerent, Fitzpatrick said he had come cheerfully and wanted the committee to have all the facts, He declared the United States Stee! Corporation had appropriated a large sim of money—"It doesn’t matter whether it was two million or twenty million"—for the purpoos of destroying organized labor, This, he said, emphasized the necessity of or- ganizing the steel industry. Organization was begun in the Cal- umet district, including the Minnesota Ulinols and Indiana steel centres, and in a ghort time, Fitzpatrick sald, “we began to feel the result of our ef- forts, men had no hope.” DAY SHORTENED AFTER OR- GANIZATION, Fitzpatrick declared the stecl cor- poration announced acceptance of the umet district had been organized. “It was a bad spot in the indus- trial station,” Fitapatrick sald in ex- plaining the decision of the American Federation of Labor to organize the stee] industry, “Just as @ rotten apple contaminates the others, 80 the situa- tion in the steel Industry had a tendency to drag organized labor backward and downward.” He estimated the number of men employed in the steel industry at about 500,000, After the Fitzpatrick said. ‘The first opposition he declared, was encountered in Mi organizers were notified not hold any meetings in the city. could not mee! absolutely 1918, situation was reported pers, and the latter with Mayor Lysle of McKeesport and to Mr. communicated relief, he| said that the children we saw are all Pol | | | cestors, The little girls were generally very ings which will enable the an as to face and hands and cloth- that a stirke progressis by agitation, | eee vain at least a finger-|ing.

He added that 50,000 more men joined the union while the strike vote was being taken, Asked how many men are now union- ized, he said his report yesterday placed the number at 340,000. First signs of feeling were seen when Fitzpatrick told of his corre- spondence with Judge Gary and the latter's letter informing the workers’ committee he did not consider them the authorized spokesmen for Steel Corporation employees. “He said they would go right along and take care of the employees in | thelr own way and run thelr business to suit themselves,” Fitzpatrick tes- | tified, Reading the organization commit- tee’s reply, Fitzpatrick stressed pass- ages declaring the living standard of the average steel worker to be “below the pauper line.” “TOO LATE” TO STOP STRIKE Now. Senator Kenyon asked: “If Judge | Gary had consented to the conference asked would the strike have been called?” No, sir.” “If Judge Gary should agree to a conference now would the strike be called off?” Fitzpatrick hesitated. “I don't think so," he said finally. “There is ground on which we could get together, But it is too late, ‘he wrong has been done, The mothers and sisters of these steel workers bave been murdered in cold blood. “We will not meet Judge Gary or stop the strike unless assured of some kind of decent justice.” “We would have been shot to pieces,” he declared in discussing possibilities had the strike been post- poned, “All the tactics they could employ to terrorize the workers were resorted to.” Fitzpatrick referred to the case of Pa asked Senator shot at Brackenridge, “Was she killed?” Kenyon, “Was killed?” repeated Fit patrick dramatically, “Senator, would ask you to look at this photo- graph.” Nie handed over @ picture. “That woman was killed by gunmen nd deputy sheriffs—the mi!l she Fanny Selens, an organizer, who was | the | plant of the Allegheny Coal and Coke Company, near Bracken- ridge, Pa, It did not appear that she was concerned in or- ganization for the steel strike.) “It is a fact that this shooting oc- curred in connection with a coal strike and before the steel trouble, isn’t it?" asked Senator Phipps. “But she was shot to put the fear into our people,” Fitzpatrick insisted. | Senators sought information as to} prosecutions as a result of the shooting. “The prosecutions have not been} started,” Fitrpatrick said. “The gun- man who shot this woman was held in $2,500 bail, and one of the workmen | who only attempted to speak to an- other was arrested and held in $3,000 bail.” Fitzpatrick said it was the policy of Chicago steel manufacturers as well as others to “handle labor with machine guns,” “treat ‘em rough,” he added, Senators took exception to the link- ing of killings at the Standard Steel Car Company plants with the organ- ization of the employees of the United States Steel Corporation. Fitzpatrick admitted he did not know the Standard was not a subsidiary of the “Steel Trust.” “Our contention is that the Steel Corporation dominates the steel in- dustry,” he explained.

Ana | why did you not comply with that request?” “For the reasons stated in our let-| ter to the President,” Fitzpatrick re- | plied, When Senators asked Fitzpatrick pation he said he was a horseshoer by trade, but had been an organizer for the American Federation of Labor for twenty years and President of the Chicago Federation of Labor for fifteen years, Senator Phipps questioned the witness regarding his knowledge of the steel industry, Fitzpatrick said he had had no experience in the miils, The examination proceeded as foi- lows: Senator Phipps—A with the scales of wa Fitzpatnck—No. These records are at the Amalgamated Tin Workers’ headquarters, DOESN'T KNOW AVERAGE RATES OF PAY. Q. Do you know the rates of pay, what rollers, helpe hookers or other classes of workmen receive, on the average? A. No, Q. Do you know the rates paid or- dinary day labor? A.

Do you mean to say that ordinary | unskilled labor in the Chicago dis- | trict gets pald more than forty cents, | A. Oh, yes. | Q. Have you vaited the steel plants personally and actually seen the con- ditions under which the men work, and learned the character of this work? A. Oh, no.

Senator Phipps of Colorado, himself | @ steel manufacturer, took a teading | part in the cross examination of Fitz- | patrick, He seemed dissatisfied with | the latter's answers, which frequently | were indefinite where numbers of em- | ployees or corporation connections were involved. “It would be serviceable to the com- mittee to know something about your | own experience in the steel business,” Senator Phipps suggested. Before Fitz- patrick could anaswer the subject was changed and Senator Kenyon asked | about the radical labor record of Wil- liam Z, Foster, Secretary-Treasurer of the workers’ organization committee, Fitzpatrick said he had seen the} statements published and discussed in Congress by Representative Cooper of Ohlo, but did not comment on them, He deplored the practice of ques- tioning the patriotism or nativity of the steel workers or their leaders, saying: “These men were the backbone of the nation in the war, The mills were the first-line trenches, their task, working long hours under in- jican Federation of Labor | tempted organization of the unskilled | workers in the steel industry. | vania What we want 1s happiness can't get happiness with the | and twelve hour day. \ Q.
