NSYLVANIA POLICE FORBID MEETINGS OF

courts will set aside any OF the al
tLority now vested in the police un-
less extraordinary pressure Is brought
to bear.
An automobile journey through the
mill towns is quito an experience
those days. Policemen are posted at
the gates and along the tsuces Of
every mill and are thick along the
maln thoroughfares. At intervals a
member OF the Mounted Pol ce. splck
end span and soldlerly on his excel
lent mount. Is encountered ON patrol.
Twice yesterday we saw a little de-
tachment OF these mounted cops tear
ing along the road in answer 10 a
in the valley.
These slim. boyish-looking Mount
ed Policemen inspire fear II not re-
spect What they say goes. They
carry long clubs and know how TO
use them. Each carries a revolver
and a rifle and they know how TO
use the firearms also, although they
are under instructions never to fro
unless fred upon and then never to
shoot at a man unless he In openly
armed.
A detail OF fve OF the mounted sol
dlers takes care of the district on one
bank OF the Monongnhela from Home
stead out for a distance OF about
twenty miles. Al times. when the
mill shifts are changing, they ride in
a body and keep the people moving
on bhe streets. In the event OF slow
movement they ride right into the
crowds with their batons appraised
and generally the loiterers fall down
and step on each other in their haste
to get away. The mounted cops think
nothing OF riding into a store and
picking out some man they have
spotted and turning him over to a
local police oficer.

but when his request was overruled,
backed up the unions.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Rubin's
reading Fitzpatrick was placed on
the stand.
IT prefer TO stand" he said in an
swer TO a question from Senator Ken
yon as to whether he preferred to
testify standing or sitting.
suave but belligerent, Fitzpatrick
said he had come cheerfully and
wanted the committee to have all the
facts.
He declared the United States Steel
Corporation had appropriated a large
sum OF money-"It doesn't matter
whether Il was two million or
twenty million"-for the purpose Of
destroying organized labor, This, he
said emphasized the necessity OF or
ganizing the steel industry.
Organization was begun in the Cal
umet district, including the Minnesota
Illinois and Indiana steel centres, and

DOESN'T KNOW AVERAGE RATES
OF PAY


Q. Do you know the rates OF nay.
what rollers, helpers, hookers or
other classes of workmen receive, on
the average? A. No.
=. Do you know the rates paid or
dinary day labor? A. No, In the
chicago district It is as low as forty
cents an hour.
Q. Is that less than paid other un-
skilled labor in that district? A. oh
my, yes. l think so.
Y. DO you mean to say that ordinary
unskilled labor in the Chicago dis
trict gets paid more than forty cents.
A. Oh, yes.
Q. Have you visited the steel plants
personally and actually seen the con-
ditions under which the men work,
and learned the character of this
work? A. Oh, no. None OF our or
ganiEers can get in the mills. We
visit the men in their homes or at
meetings outside.
q. Then your testimony OF actual
working conditions ana OF wages is
based on hearsay? A. It's general in
formation, published everywhere.
O. You have stated that the men re-
ceive "A mere pittance" OF wages
what a pauper would receive. Do you
think that Is fair statement OF the
situation, from what you have been

reach that conclusion Is that there is
twelve hour day. Home life is des-
| troyed. You break down the life OF
! the wife and children. II is not n
/ question OF money. We don't want tho
money. What we want Is happiness
and we can't get happiness with the
! twelve hour day.
! q. What percentage OF the men
! work the twelve hour shift? A. That
Is the basis Of operation in the stetl
Industry. The fact Is that very few
skilled men work eight hours. These
may get $50, $40, or 500 a day"
q. You wouldn't call that a mere
pittance," would your A. Yes,
would. considering the way they've
got 10 earn II. Thousands upon. thou

toughest hardest sort OF work twelve
hours day for 40 cents an hour"
CALLS SITUATION MENACE TO
GOVERNMENT.
Senator Phipps asked IL the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor had at
tempted organization OF the unskilled
workers in the steel industry
A. YES, continuously. But the op-
position and control Of the towns in
Western Pennsylvania are such that
organizations can't operate. Mems
civil and legal rights are showed
aside. The autocracy OF this corpora
tion dominates the situation. We
feel that II Is dangerous situation
and a menace 10 this Government.
You think that part OF Pennsyl-
vania Ia not safefor democracy"
Chairman Kenyon interrupted,
"Yes, it's tyranny" said FHz.,

ever existed even in Darkest Russia" "

EFFORTS TO MEET GARY IN

During the summer efforts were
made TO meet Judge Gary, but with
out result, and the steel Corporation

He detailed the developments lead
ing to the strike vote and declared
" Der cent. OF the men who expressed
The evening world., 1919-09-25
THINKS MOB WOULD BE THE
RESULT.

"Thsy would start moving along the
valley, augmented at every step by
sympathizers or curiosity seekers,
and the first thing we would know
there would be an army Of ten thou
sand, fifteen thousand. twenty-five
thousand, many armed, marching
upon the mills and there would be
more kinds OF hell to pay than the
i'm aaination could grasp.
''The only way to put down dis
order IN this community Is not to
let IL get a start, There are not
enough officers OF the peace in the
state OF Pennsylvania to keep this
element In order II they should get
away from US at the start"
The strikers say the police have
rlanted machine guns slona the roads
at strategic points in the Mononsn
hela Valley. l didn't see any machine
guns yesterday, nor did l see any
body who would say that he had
seen any, but / certainly saw enough
rifles and revolvers and full cart
ridge belts TO bring back memories
OF the war in France-but they were
all carried by officers Of the law.

REPRESSION DOES NOT SEEM
TO BE FAIR.

To an impartial outsider the suS-
pension Of the right Of assonnblauo
and free speech does not appear fair.
But an impartial Observers opinion
doesn't oct him anywhere in this
community. The people who live
here are all partisans Of one side or
the other. and the public outside the
Pittsburgh district should understand
the attitude Of both sides.
The strike leaders spent many
hours yesterday In executive session
in tho Monongahela Hotel, discussing
this phase OF the situation. They
assert that never In the days OF the
Car in Russia were tho Cossacks so
iniplacable in forbiddlng free speech
as the Pennsylvania "Cossacks'-as
the mounted police are called-are In
the Pittsburgh district Those op-
posed to the strike say that the meas
ures adopted are harsh, but absolutely
necessary.
II have been through strikes here"
said an officer in Duquesno yester-
day. "All these people want to do is
to get chance to assemble a mob.
'Tf we should allow them TO get
together an nssemblage OF two or
three thousand here In Duquesne, for
instance, do You think they would re-
main ana hold an orderly meeting2 ?
Not in "A thousand wears.

DAY SHORTENED AFTER Or
GANlZATloN.

Fitzpatrick declared the steel cor
poratlon announced acceptance OF the
eight hour day only after the CAL
umet district had been organized.
ut was bad spot In the indus
trial station" Fitzpatrick said in ex-
planning the decision OF the American
Federation OF Labor to organize the
contaminates the others, so the situa-
tion in the steel industry had a
tendency to drag organized labor
backward and downward"
He estimated the number OF men
employed In the steel industry at
about 100000.
After the Calumet district was or
ganlzed a demand" came from the
Pittsburgh district for organization,
Fitzpatrick said. The first opposition,
he declared. was encountered In Nc
Keesport, near Pittsburgh, where the
organizers were notified they could
not hold any meetings in the city.
''rhe Mayor of McKeesport said we
absolutely could not meet" Fitzpat-
rick asserted, fixing tho date as oc-
tober, 1918. Fitzpatrick testified this
situation was reported to Mr., Com
pers. and tho latter communicated
with Mayor Lysle OF McKeesport and
Gov. Sproul OF Pennsylvania, asking
relief.
my recollection is that the letters
were not answered" he said. "and at
tempts TO hold meetings in the streets
led TO arrests"
Fitzpatrick said that by May, 1919
the Organization Committee haC
. about $4,000 men organized. Atte
/, 4 the May convention OF the iron, stee
8 and tin workers this number was in
D creased, and when the American
