United States Steel corporation,
clashed over the labor conditions OF
the employees of this big company, be-

Brandeis challenged Gary's recent

ing the number of men employed, who
undergo real hardships in the matter
of long hours is unusually large.
Reed contended that the committee
had no authority to investigate the
labor question. He was orerruied by
Chairman Stanley.
Brandeis said the steel workers are
worse than slaves because the slave
owners were humane and came in
personal contact with the slaves,
while the owners of the steel corpo-
ration are in a position exactly like
the absentee landlords in Ireland and
through the stock distribution scheme
