STEEL STRIKE
SUMMARY

Congress took a hand IN the steal
strike today when the senate committee
on education and labor began at Wash
tnRton an investigation of the causes
leading up to the strike.
The physical aspect Of the situation
was little changed. The unions stood
pat on their declaration that $4,000
men are idle throughout the country and
that tho iron and steel industry IS
tied up"
On the other hand. operators IN the
Pittsburgh district. with its encircling
ring of steel cities. reported the condi-
ton today better than at any time since
the strike was called. They reported
that each shift going on in the mills Is
larger in numbers than the previous
one, and that many men who stayed
away from their work during the first
two days of the strike through fear.
are now returning.
4 The mills of Homestead. Braddock,
Duquesne. McKeesport. Breckenridge,
Clarion and Pittsburgh proper continue
TO operate, some operators asserting thai
all mills are operating above eighty
five per cent normal
There was little change in Chicago,
Gary. Youngstown. Cleveland, Buffalo
and Wheeling. In all these centers the
mills appear to have been more Grip
pied than in Pittsburgh. Chicago re-
ported a slight resumption Of work.
Warren s. Stone. chief of the Brother
hood OF Locomotive Engineers. stated
in Washington that his brotherhood
does not go out on sympathetic strikes
This was his comment on the action Of
the steel committee III Pittsburgh in
appointing a subcommittee TO consult the
brotherhoods regarding strike matters.
Except for spasmodic and minor out
breaks of disorder. the strike continues
with comparatively little violence.
william r. Foster. strike leader in
the Pittsburgh district. protested TO
Gov. Sproul against the tactics of the
state constabulary. characterizing Its
members as being bad as Don Co.'S
sacks under the czar." and asserting that
they are spreading reign of terror
through the strike areas. There is con-
siderable discomfort over suppression Of

vania district.
