CFrom Committee on Industrial Re
lations, by Dante Barton.)

Washington, D. C.-The United
States Steel Corporation went to the
front for the Employers Association
of Pittsburg on May 2. Repeating
the Homestead tactics of 1892, its
armed guards, thugs, special police
men and detectives fired volley after
vollev from riot guns and repeating
rifles into the crowds of strikers and
sympathizers-men, women and chill
dren-killed three, fatally wounded
three others and seriously wounded
from forty to sixty more.
Following that open violence, the
Steel Corporation and Employers AS
sociation invoked the legal process of
Pittsburg to put the wrong persons
in Jail. Dragnet warrants brought IN
the leaders of the unorganized num-
bers of the workers. They were cast
into Jail and kept there without bond
and without trial by the most ar
bitrary seizure of power
Pittsburg is now ferment of splen-
did and hopeful struggle of the work
ers against economic and legal OPP
preston. The determined spirit OF
revolt against wrong things is spread
throughout all its hundreds of thou
sands of workers. There will be fluc-
tuations in this industrial struggle,
but there can be no doubt that the
struggle will not end until the
workers have won the eight-hour
day and the recognized right of or
ganization.
There had been no violence in the
Pittsburg industrial district until the
strike, which originated in the West
inghouse Electric Company's plant in
East Pittsburg, had spread to the
Edgar Thompson Works of the Steel
Trust-a Carnegie branch in Brad
dock. Realizing that their men were
going out, the Steel Corporation Of
ficials began importing coal and iron
guards from Gary, Ind. These men
arrived on Saturday, April 30 Several
of them boosted that they had been
in the employ of the Rockefellers in
the Ludlow massacre in Colorado, For
ten days before the fight at the Thorn
son Works about 10000 workmen and
working women, from skilled me-
chanics to unskilled day laborers, had
been out on strike. Beginning on
April q in the Westinghouse Electric
Company in East Pittsburg, the strike
had spread rapidly until it included
all the 10000 employees of the various
Westinghouse plants.

DEMAND EIGHT-HOUR DAY

This great strike in the Pittsburg
industrial district centers in the de-
mand for an eight-hour work day. 1t
is part of the great industrial move
ment of the workers throughout the
nation for the eight-hour day. The
demand among practically all the
workers of Pittsburg and Allegheny
county has not been lessened or af-
fected by the shooting of the workers
in Braddock. The consent of the
Westinghouse strikers to accept the
mediation offered by Patrick Gilday,
chief of the mediation and concilia-
ton board of the state department of
labor and industry of Pennsylvania,
was in no sense an offer of arbitra-
ton The workers declared that the
eight-hour day was not a subject of
arbitration They demanded it as of
right.
But back of the eight-hour day de-
mand is the realization by the work
ers that the opportunity of labor to
assert itself to control its own pay
and its conditions of work and of life
is here now in the United States
Practically without organization
there were fewer than 1000 members
of the American Federation Of Labor
among the 10000 employees of all the
Westinghouse plants-the workers of
all grades and of both sexes threw
themselves into the strike movement
Workers of all nationalities acted with
solidarity. The great mass of them
were still getting low wages but they
and the skilled mechanics, and some
favored few workers receiving as high
as from 80 to even SIS or $40 a day
for long hours of overtime in the man
ufacture of war munitions, joined
simultaneously in the strike for the
eight-hour day
Gains of big and increasing i'm
portance have already been made by
the workers, Starting with prac-
tically no organization, great numbers
of the strikers have joined the Inter
national Association of Machinists
and other unions affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor. An
drew T. Mcnamara, an organizer for
the Machinists. and Patrick ]. Kelly,
of the Machinists Local No. of
Tittsburg, estimate that in the first
week Of the struggle 1900 machinists,
skilled workers, had left the several
plants involved in the strike. Re-
quests for many hundreds of these
machiHsts to go to work in other
cities had been received. For a year
he Westinghouse employers had ad-
vertised for skilled workers, and in a
day they lost more men from their
labor market than they had added in
the year.

MIR. BLACKBURN EXPLAINS.
Thinks Attitude Toward Half-and-
Half Was Misinterpreted.

In the debate on the District appro-
priation bill Monday in the House Rep
resentative Page, replying to remarks
made by Representative Campbell re-
speeding the attitude toward the Dis
trict fiscal situation Of former Senator
Blackburn, who was chairman of the
committee of investigation upon whose
report the organic act of 1878 was
based, stated that Mr.. Blackburn had
appeared before the joint select COM
mittee last autumn and gave ''unmis-
takably his testimony and his judg
ment that the time had arrived when
that law Gs7S) was no longer
equitable"
Former Senator Blackburn, when his
attention was called to this matter,
made the following statement:
Mr.. Page. in his remarks in the
House May 20, said 1 was Enthusiastically
of the opinion that the. half-and- half
plan is no longer equitable, but did not
give my reasons for this opinion. 1t is
not fair to the people Of the District of
Columbia If the half-and- half divi-
sion of the expenses was fair in 1873
IT cannot possibly be fair now. because
the government has never parted with
foot of real estate, but has been con-
stantly acquiring by condemnation and
private purchase property that previ-
ously was tax-paying and became tax
free as soon as the title passed into
the federal government"
