FIGHT
On the Labor Crushing
Steel Trust will be
Outlined
AT Conference Next
Week in the Smoky
City of National Lrbor
Representatives.

\ conference of the American Federa.
ton of Labor is to be held in Pittsburp
next Thursday, to plan a campaign against
the United States Steel Corporation. The
Federation holds that the Steel Trust is
seeking to destroy organized labor, not
only IN steel mills, but in all the branches
OF the steel business, including the trans.
portation of ore and finished products.
The conference is to map out a campaign
against the corporation through which the
Federation expects to organize into mines
the unemployed in mining ore, trans.
porting it and making it into steel.
President Samuel n. Gompers, of the
American Federation of Labor, will pre-.
side John Mitchell will take part, and
other international labor officers called to
the meeting are: P. ]. McArdle, of the
Analgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers; T. L. Lewis, of the United
Mine Workers; Joseph Valentine, of the
Iron Moulders Union; Congressman w.
B. Wilson of the United Mine Workers:
L. V. O'Connor, of the Longshoremen 8
Union; II. B. Perham of the order of
Railway Telegraphers; Andrew Furuseth,
~@AosAOhoA OSdIucu y
Several of the various railway brotherhood
officers are also expected to attend.
an officer of the Federation said:
This conference is the result of dis.
eussions held at the federation meeting
IN Toronto. Union labor conditions in
the steel trust mills in Ohio and Pennsyl.
vania were discussed. 1t was decided that
labor must change its fight on the steel
trust from defensive campaign to an of.
fensive war and carry the struggle into
the enemies camp.
1--WE blame the United States Steel Cor.
Poration for the continuation of both the
strike on the Great Lakes and the Tin
Plate Workers strike, and will come to
this conference, believing that the steel
trust wants to exterminate organized
labor.
Whether this conference of December
l6 will result in an Industrial war depends
on the action taken and on the attitude
of the Steel corporation officers when Fed.
Grafton officers begin to extend their or.
ganization among steel trust employees in
the various branches"

FORCED FROM
THEIR HOMES
Women and Children Sleep in Streets
Without Shoes and Stockings
Pathetic Spectacle.

The Ludlow Manufacturing Associa-
tion, who own the jute and hemp product
mills at Ludlow, Mass, last week eyicted
sheir striking Polish tenants from their
houses and forced nearly 400 into the
street, where they have been huddled in
improvised shelters on the streets, suff,
ering intensely from the cold and rain.
or those made homeless at least
seventy five slept in the open. Whole
families huddled about feeble fires built
of wood from the cellars of the evictod
families.
Some of those evicted are without shoes
and few of the men and only a part of
the women have stockings. Women with
infants IN their arms and women about
to become mothers have walked the streets
dividing their time between the streets
and the shelter of homes of unevicted
families.
The household furniture piled pro.
miscuously in the streets presented a pa.
thetic spectacle. Keepsakes were trampled
ruthIessly in the mud A man of eighty
years, supporting himself with a cane,
spent the greater part of the day rue.

their toys, and the finding of doll or a

delight.
Many of the evicted families were

IN Indian Orchard Polish families in
Ludlow, which still have roofs over their
heads, have been liberal donors of pro.
Visions. The town of Ludlow, however,
must face in the immediate future the
problem of providing not only for those
now homeless, but for hundreds of others
who are to be turned into the streets
