LABOR UNIONS TO
BEGIN CAMPAIGN
IN STEEL REGIONS
Will Attempt to Organize
100000 Workers in the
Pittsburgh District

Atlantic City, N. J.. June ia
committee of twenty-four presidents
of international labor unions inter-
ested in the organization of workers
in the steel industry, headed by Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, decided
Immediately to launch extraordinary
organization efforts in the great steel
producing regions of the country,
especially the Pittsburgh district,
and fight there for the right of free
assemblage, free speech and a free
press"
The presidents of the unions
pledged themselves to "go to jail
if necessary in the attempt to Or
ganize 100000 workers in the Pitts
burgh, McKeesport, Homestead ana
Monongahela regions and TO carry
out an equally vigorous campaign in
other sections; including the Ala
bama steel centers.
Energetic efforts in all sections
were determined upon after it had
been declared by some conferees
that the steel barons in the Pitts
burgh region have refused to permit
organization meetings to be held Tor
the last six months"
1t was declared that tho employ
ers in the steel industry We're hrm-
ly set against permitting organiza-
tior of their employees, and that the
time had come for organized labor
to take even a firmer stand to the
contrary.

saying in part:
This insurance is not to be con-

amounts ranging from $500 for those
who have been in the service six
months to $1,000 for those who have

This insurance is effective from

and provided with the view of maxi
ing it permanent policy of the
company. The permanency, however,
is not wholly within the hands of the
executives but it is believed that your
spirit and attitude will justify it's
continuance"
