The senate committee on education
strike and the first witness was John
Fitzpatrick, chairman of the commit
tee on Organization of the steel work
ers and real leader of the strike 1t
was announced that Mr.. Gary would
appear before the committee later to
present the case for the employers.
Fitzpatrick admitted to the commit
tee that there had been no demand
from the steel workers for unioniza-
tion, but that the Federation of Labor
considered it necessary because the
steel industry was bad spot" in the
industrial situation and that the CON
ditions prevailing in it led other large
employers to consider imposing sim
liar conditions on their employees He
told at length Of the vain efforts to in
duce Mr.. Gary to confer with his COM
mittee, and said that even il the steel
corporation should now consent to
meet the union representatives II
would be too late to stop the strike,
rs the men "are going to demand, de-
cent justice Of the United States gov

However, Fitzpatrick said, the
unions would call off the strike II the

a commission to be named by President
Wilson. When this was told to Mr..
Gary In New York. be replied that,
The Knoxville independent. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1894-current, 1919-10-04

speaking for himself, he believed the
board of directors could not negotiate
with Fitzpatrick and his associates as
union labor leaders and that questions
of moral principles, such as are in
volved in this struggle cannot be ar
bitrated nor compromised.
Samuel Gompers, testifying before
the senate interstate commerce com
mittee, gave the steel strike his APP
proval though he said he would have
preferred to have postponed it until
after the industrial conference in DC
tober. He laid all the blame for the
strike on Mr.. Gary for his refusal to
deal with the union chiefs. AS a mat
ter of plain fact, the whole contest
hinges on the question of the open or
the closed shop and its outcome will
go far to determine the power and
right Of the unions to organize indus
tries that have not asked such action
and to enforce their closed shop pol
icy everywhere.

The resentment OF the public, which
of course is always the goat in in
dustrial disputes, is being reflected
in congress Senator Thomas of Colo
RADIO leads the fight in the upper house
against tyranny by union labor, and
last week introduced resolution con-
demning the closed shop principle as
un-Amercan and calling for the repu-
diatiOn by congress of the special inn
munity it has granted to labor unions
from prosecution for violation of the
antitrust laws. In the lower house
Representative Cooper, who is from
the Youngstown district and is him
self a union labor man, uttered a warn
ing against the danger of organized
labor being misled by such "revolu-
tionary leader" as William e. Foster,
secretary of the steel workers COM
mittee. Foster is the author of a book
on syndicalism and secretary of the

lawlessness to win strikes Congress
man Kahn of California, asked Attor-
ney General Palmer if Foster could
not be prosecuted in connection with

he thought any such action should be
brought by the various states rather
than by the federal government. Mr..

ion labor leaders must enjoy their

son would compromise with the reser-
vati0niSts concerning the peace treaty,

ident, on his way back from the Pacific
coast, delivered himself of speeches
that showed his spirit was, if possible,
more uncompromising than ever and
he rather plainly intmated that il the
pact were non ratified as it stands he
would plgeonhole IT for the present
and make ii the issue of next wears
presidential campaign. To his audi
ence IN Cheyenne he said If the pro-
posed reservation to article ten We're
adopted by the senate he would re-
gard it as rejection of the whole trea-
ty, and that It would mean the nego-
tlation OF a separate peace with Ger
many, which would turn the whole
world against us. He predicted that
without the League Of Nations COW

Mr.. Wilson also continued to defend
the arrangement by which the Brit
ish empire has six votes to one for the
United States in the league assembly.
The proposed amendment to this ar
ticle was causing both sides In the
senate considerable worry, and they
lodged vote on 1t for the time being.

Indications That Union Labor
May Get the Worst of the
Great Steel Strike.
SENATE STARTS AN INQUIRY
Many Workers Said to Be Returning
to the MilIs-Status of the Reace
Treaty -D'Annunzio's
Raid Precipitates Crisis
in Italy.
BY EDWARD w. PIckARD.

Developments of the week in the
great strike of steel workers indicated
that this, perhaps the seyerest test to
which union labor in America ever has
subjected itself, would result adverse
Iy TO the unions.
At the beginning many thousands of
men in the United States Steel corpor-
atoms numerous plants scattered
throughout the country quit work, re-
CARELESS Of whether or not they We're
members of the unions. w. q. Foster,
general organizer, claimed that 342,-
900 had gone out before the week was
half over. This was not directly dis
puted by the corporation officials, but
they declared the tide already had
turned and that the men We're coming
back to the mills in large numbers
seeking their old jobs. A great many
of the plants were closed down at the
beginning of the week, but in some of
the districts these We're being reopened
gradually with increasing forces of
workers. In the Pittsburgh district
the employers asserted they were in
creasing production in all the impor-
tant plants; the Gary and Indiana
Harbor mills resumed partial opera
ton; the strikers at Canton, O., and
Birmingham, returned to work. On
the other hand there was virtually q
complete tie-up in the Mahoning val
ley, the Colorado district and at other
points.
Though the union officials had de-
clared the strike would be conducted
without violence on the part of the
men, rioting started promptly in some
regions, especially in Pennsylvania.
Several deaths and many injuries re-
suited. The state constabulary got
into action promptly and effectively,
breaking up all assemblages and in
general restoring order. Sabotage was
In evidence in various plants.
The strike leaders were earnestly
endeavoring to expand the strike into
walkout of allied crafts, which in
clude the men in % unions On the
Great Lakes it appeared likely the sea
men and marine firemen who trans
port iron ore would 60 out, and switch
men on railroads that especially serve
steel plants We're reported to be ready
to quit.

Mr.. Gompers also appeared before
the senate committee on the District
Of Columbia where he maintained the
right of policemen to organize, but
said they should not go on strike. "Pri-
vate employees" he said, ''can quit
work, while policemen have no such
recourse" At the same time he de-
Tended the policemen Of Boston by
asserting that the trouble there vas
not really a strike but lockout N ~
for the constabulary of PENNSYLVANIA,

have proved they are nothing but Cos
sacks and they would not be admitted
to the Federation of Labor.
