secretary of the national steel strike
committee, told the Pennsylvania Fed
GRAFTON of Labor in session here today
that the steel strike is not lost; the
steel mills throughout the country are
tied up, and the bottom has fallen out Of
steel production.
1t was the outstanding feature of the
steel strike situation in the Pttsburg dis
trict today. for union leaders generally
attended the convention and said there
was no change in the situation
Steel companies met Fosters statement
with the assertion that mill operations
had improved during the week and more
steel had been made than at any time
Since the strike was declared.
Mr. Foster, in appealing to the conven.
tor for funds for the strikers, said more
than 10000 men were out. and that the
families of striking steel workers were
facing starvation and crying for bread .
He reviewed the work of the strike com
mittee's eomfnissaries and said thou
sands of dollars were needed to carry
them on.
President James L. Maurer. who
opened the convention, said as president
he was willing to so through on any
programme. We must do something and
must be active
Delegates We're invited to send resol,i-
tions for action by the convention to,nor-
row. when. it was stated, the business
would be wound up.

More than 10 Latin-American coun-

Siam, have not sent labor delegates.

officer stationed in this country. The
labor delegates contended that these
officials were not acquainted intimate
ly with conditions in their home coun-
tries and not qualified to represent
them
The grievance goes back to the pro-
visions of the Versailles treaty which
gave the government two delegates.
