Washington, Aug. 3o.--That The la
borers employed by tho Pressed steel
Car company at McKees Rocks Pa,
the scene of the present strike, arc
not paid the share to which they are
entitled under the protective tariff
system, is asserted by Secretary Nor.
rison OF the American Federation OF
Labor. The charge is embodied in
request forwarded by Mr.. Morrison
to Secretary Nagel for an investiga.
ton into the conditions at McKees
Rocks.
Pointing out that the strikers arc
aliens and are not members of any
labor organization. Mr.. Morrison dc.
clares that their wages have been
reduced by the officers of the Press
cd Steel Car company TO the extent
that in sheer desperation they decd.
cd to cease work until their many
grievances. which they could no long
er bear, were remedied and a higher
wage rate was paid"
Mr.. Morrison takes the position
that the rioting and needless sacrifice
of human life should not he permit.
ted to divert attention from the fact
that these regrettable incidents arc
the direct results of unbearablo and
unbelievable conditions that have
been forced upon these defenseless
and helpless wage workers"
In support of his contention that
the conditions are bad Mr.. Morrison
quotes at length from report re.
garding them made recently by Paul
U. Kellogg. Mr.. Kellogg gives many
instances OF low wage payments, and
he says the men complain especially
that they are denied all means of
checking up their earnings. No piece
rates are posted, as under the old
system. and the men claim that the
hourly rate Is not guaranteed mini

three days work. that another work

worked 10 days for $3.50
Rev. A. +. Toner, pastor OF st.
Niary's Catholic church at McKees
Rocks, is quoted as saying that "the
conditions under which the employees
work and live are such that they are

then enters his plea for investigation
on the ground that better wages
should be paid under our tariff sys-

STATE FAIR IS OPENED
Promises TO Be Best Exposition Of
Kind In Country.

: Columbus. o., Aug. 80 - At .
o'clock this morning the gates of the
state fair grounds were thrown open
for what the managers predict will be
the greatest 1909 state fair in the
country. This prediction bids fair to
come true, for the number of exhib
itors eclipses all previous records.
With reasonably fair weather. judg.
ing from the statewide interest in the
exposition, the receipts arc expected
to make new record of 100000.
Columbus has responded nobly to
the task of providing accommoda.
tions for the army OF visitors expect.
ed, and all will be handled expedl.
tiously and effectively, with their
welfare constantly in mind. Three
information bureaus, one on the fair
grounds, another AT the Union station
and the third on the statehousc lawn,
will work in conjunction in finding
rooms for visitors and telling where
everything in Columbus and at tho
fair can be located.
The cash admission system Is In
force and is creating considerable
confusion at the gates, Instead of
buying tickets and presenting them
at the gates as in former years. adult
visitors must drop 5O.cent piece in
the turnstile before entering, and
each child above the age admitted
free must drop a 25-cent piece.
Money-changing booths are al hand.
but the people are not taking kindly
