JUDGE GARY,S
LETTER

The following letter was written to
the Carnegie Steel Co. U. S. Steel sub
sidiary. by the head of the board of di-
rectors of the steel corporation:
Judge Gary's letter. date New York
September Is, is as follows:
Not long since l respectfully declin-

matters pertaining to labor at our varI-
Gus plants a number of gentlemen rep
resenting certain labor unions. They
claim this furnishes cause for complaint
and have stated that they intend. II pos
sible. to prevent continuance of opera
tions at our mills and factories.
Il deem it proper to repeat in letter
what heretofore has been said TO you
verbally. ! entertain no feeling of ami
mostly toward the gentlemen personally
and would not hesitate to meet them as
individuals. but i did not and do not
consider it proper TO confer with them
under the circumstances.

The decIination was made for two
reasons: First. because / did not be-

a conference with these men would have
been treated by them ass recognition

such. We do not negotiate with labor
unions, because 1t would indicate the
