The move today toward a renewal OF

Officials of the National Union of

[By Raymond Clapper, United Press

Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Oct STEADY ef-
forts to break up organization of
the United States Steel corporation
was formed, President NJ. S. Tighe,
Of the Iron, Steel and Tin Workers,
declared before the senate labor com.
mittee today.
Resuming his testimony before the
committee, Tighe declared inaccurate
the statements as TO steel mill con-
ditions made by Judge Gary, head of
the United States Steel corporation.
Tighe repeated the charges of
union leaders that the Steel corpora
ton appropriated $4,000 900 in it's
early days to suppress labor organi-
zations. Gary denied this when he
was before the committee. He read
want ads published in Pittsburgh in
1909, offering Jobs, "Syrians, Poles
and Rumanians preferred" as evil
dence of attempts to break the strike
then being attempted.
From 1909 on, there was steady
increase in the employment of for
eigners in the mills, Tighe asserted,
A moderate course by labor lead
ers toward the steel companies has
met with approval among the work
men, Tighe said. They would have
charged us with shaking hand"
with the company and would have
called us a mutual admiration so
ciety," he declared.
Tighe gave the estimated number
of strikers on October l as 100000.
