STRIKERS TELL,
OF BRIDGE TRUST
CoERCIvE METHODS TO GET
ERECTORs TO JOIN IT.
Frank Buchanan Claims that It's At
tacks on Labor Organization Endan-
ger Industrial Freedom-Some Of the
Methods Of the Bridge Company that
Have Been Employed in the East.

h Cleveland, Aug. 26.-Frank Buchan-
an, president of the International Asso-
citation Of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, has issued a statement giving
his version of the strike against the
American Bridge company. He said:
1.-The American Bridge company is
using coercive methods to get all the
erectors to join in forming the Nation
al Association Of Erectors of Structural
getting large number of employers,
for these erectors believe that if they
opposed the wishes Of the American
Bridge company, that they could not
succeed in their business. Hence, their
submission to the dictates of the Ameri-
can Bridge company. -. ...
"This company has successfully at
tackled labor organizations Of their mill
workers, they have repeatedly dis
charged their workmen for no other
cause than talking trades unionism; in
fact, their conduct is calculated to en-
danger industrial freedom.
t'In the jurisdiction of local Is, at
New Haven, Conn, where the present
trouble started, the American Bridge
company secured contract, from the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad company, for the erection Of
about 5000 tons of steel, at price
higher than the Boston Bridge company
had bid. We have been informed that
the railroad company let this contract
to the American Bridge company, believ-
there would be no labor troubles. Then
the American Bridge company sublet
this contract. to the Boston Bridge COM
pany, knowing that they were working
in violation Of the established rules Of
our association in that locality.'
