said today. Mr.. Fitzpatrick came here
to discuss the strike with Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor, and other members of
the labor group in the national indus
trial conference.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said the troops at

In this connection he denounces the
brutality Of the Pennsylvania state
c~onstabulary.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick charged that the pub
licity agents Of the steel corporation
had Manufactured" the red" propa-
ganda found In Gary for the purpose of
bringing suspicion on the strikers. He
said most of those dangerous docu-
ments," when translated, were found
to be nothing more than excerpts from

While the strikers would welcome ar
filtration by the industrial conference,
Fitzpatrick said they were determined
