ah 5 ey e NO GAINS $5.99 in 1919, an Increase of 108 per cent. Foremen and superintendents ®re included but not executives, ad- ministrative or selling forces, Work in the steel mills is largely ‘by machinery, Judge Gary explained. “It's hard work to Work hard what ever one does,” he added, “but it nothing like hard work I used to do ‘when I was a boy on the farm. None of these men do manual labor. ‘They touch a button or pull a lever. “Isn't the actual work more nearly 100 per cent. of the time required?” Senator Ph J asked, referring to the twelve-hour day. “They are not working over about half of the time,” Gary replicd. “It has been charged that during the existing strike some of our sub- aidiary companies have been guilty of attacking and mistreating the strikers,” Judge Gary testified. “That 4s without foundation. There isn't a vestige of truth in i Judge Gary denied that Mrs, Fannie Snellings was killed by any one con- ected with the United States Steel Corporation or its subsidiaries, He said sho was killed at Brackenridge, Pa., and that his company had no ‘works or employees there. “Our orders are absomtely against Anything of that kind, anywhere, any “ime,” he added. He said that employees around the coal mines were defending them- gelves from attacks of strikers. “You'know how they do things,” Judge Gary said, “throwing brickbats and that kind of thing.” Judge Gary, who arrived early, took his seat at one end of the committee table with his tants and statis. fticlans and with reports banked arouad him. His own stenographer took the testimony verbatim. Accompanying Judge Gary were R. V. Lindabury, general counsel of the United States Steel Corporation; C. L, Close, manager of safety, sanita- tion and welfare, and John Reis, Vice President of the corporation, and other officlals. Senator Kenyon gave Judge Gary an opportunity to make a full state- ment as the genesis of the strike and the issues involved. The witness described himself as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the United States Steel Corpora- tion, Chairman of its Finance Com*- mittee and chief executive in charge Of the strike arrangements, Replying to Senator Wolcott, Judge Gary said he thought the slay- ing of Mrs. Snellings occurred be- ‘fore the strike, Senators Phipps read a certified copy of the verdict of the Coroner's Jury, stating that she came to ber death “during an attack on the Sher- ‘ff's deputies,” that this “was justin- able and In self defense,” and com- mending the Shoriff, Judge Gary said none of bis em- ployees were serving as deputies at that time, but that he did not know whether any were serving now. “As a rule they are not appointed, he added. “Some of them may have been under stress of circumstances before the police force was adequate. Answering another charge of cruel- ty, Judge Gary said a son of Jefe: #om Davis Pierce denied his father's death was caused by an employee of the United States Steel Corpora- tion, but instead was caused by un 1 W. W. member. ‘The witness said his concern hud never had “the slightest connection" with the Standard Wire Company at ‘ Hammond, Ind., where several strik- ere were recently killed. “Our companies were in no way re- sponsible,” he added. “This strike (the present steel strike) has been conducted like any other strike, only it 1s worse in some of its features,” Judge Gary continued. “The large majority of our work- were not desirous of striking, were not members of any union But that wasn’t enough!

HE “sasNEWS and had declined to become such year after year.” Whed the United States Steel Cor- poration was furnishing about half the steel used during the war the workmen were loyal, Judge Gary sal “There was never any interruption of any extent during the war,” he de- clared. “While there is a radical ele. ment among the men, it tx only doing Justice to say that the majority of the foreigners are good citizens, loyal to this country and loyal to their em- Ployers.” He couk not give the percentage of foreigners employed, Judge Gary offered to submit exhibita which “are entirely antagonistic to the idea that they are dissatistied or unwilling workers,” Senator Kenyon questioned Jud, Gary closely about the foreigners em. ployed, “The strike was inaugurated by union leaders, not by the men. The men have not been secking the as- sistance of some one to organiza them,” the witnoss said. “What union leaders?” asked Sen- ator Walsh of Massachusetts, Il, the American Federation of Labor,” Judge Gary replied. “Work- men have been getting a great many threats from leaders. They say we obstruct them, “The strike was preceded by prom ises of higher pay to appeal to the cupidity of the uneducated wor! men. The strike was called, t! threats had been made, we don’t know how many—to burn houses, kidnap thelr ohildren, &c.” Men stayed on strike because they feared lack of police protection,” Judge Gary said. “But when protection was assured the men began returning to work,” Judge Gary explained, ESTIMATES OF NUMBER OF MEN OUT, » Judge Gary said he would estimate those who remained away both on strike and through fear were 28 per cent, of United States stee! plants and subsidiaries and not over 40 per cent. of the manufacturing establishments at which the strike was chiefly di- rected. "More came back yesterday than since the strike was inaugurated. There has been a steady progression in the figures,” he said, Judge Gary maid he had not totalled the figures on thie point. He said his percentages might be slightly incor- rect since they are estimated, The lowest wage rates paid to un- skilled labor working ten hours a } would you day was 42 cents an hour for ten|*tll have refused?"

There are boys opening doors, some of whom get $3 a day,” Gary explained. e highest wage of the ‘rollers’ is $32.66 a day. The general average of hired em- ployees excluding executives is $6. 4 day for 10 hours, in the manufac- turing plants, Gary said, and the un- Killed average ix $5 @ day, skillod $6.70, In the open shop, Promotion is by merit.

Total employees work- Gary declared, ing twelve h a day number 6,484, ae hours 4 and eight hours 8,994. | Senators Kenyo@ and Walsh asked Judge Gary regarding the issues of the strike. NO CAUSE FOR STRIKE, GARY ASSERTS. | “Mr, Fitzpatrick and Mr. Gompers both stated that the cause of the strike was your refusal to meet tho committee,” Senator Kenyon said. | “They ought to know it; they called it” Judge Gary replied. “Then you agree with that state- ment?" Senator Kenyon pressed. ‘l will agree to the statement that there was no cause We have al- ways been on the best terms with our men with a few exceptions,” Judge Gary replied. “We have a standing rule that any 1pn who are dissatisfied may come wihgly or in groups to a foreman or superintendent and if necessary they imay come to the President or the Chairman of the company.

The White Sox, led by Kid Gleason, quietly came on the field at 12.60, and 80 unobtrualve waa their entry that for a moment they were not noticed. ‘The band leader ruddenly apied the enemy and cut loose with “Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here.” but there was no riot of applause, The Cineinnat- jans acted as if they were uncertain whother they should give the hostile forces a greeting or not. ‘The scat- tering handolaps quickly died. Un- fortunately the Sox rooters had not yet arrived to bolster up the cause of their lonesome invaders, At this moment a bit of excitement was occasioned by a gust of cool breeze from the west. ‘The fourth estate eased up in its grouch, and the Sox finally got the field and a chance at batting practice, Happy Felsh, the slugger, brought @ sinking around the Redland heart by slamming a practice drive into the top row of the tempo- rary stand.
