10 the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Surely G. A. W Will not expect from
humble readers an answer TO every oues-
ton he raises in his letter on Ding's csr-
toons Who shall say, for example. whether
the American people have set up iustitu-
tons so sacred that humor must not touch
them? 1t ght interest him to know that
tie Senate has never been considered such.
Henry Adams discussed the Senators Of ths
I0's, observing, among other things. that
"Even Grant, who rarely fparkled in ep!-
gram, became witty at their expense,
do hope, however, that readers will en-
tighten G. 4. w as TO the real goodness
Of your good Republican paper. Surely. 4
partisan newspaper has any Legitimate
purpose. 1t IS not to cater % the ingrown
prejudices OF people whose minds are made :
up forever, or 70 deceive the unsophissi-
Gated, but to set forth the party's view
point to those whose judgment is still free.-
Only by following that course, it seems tn
me- can effective influence be welded.
What pity if some of US who are anxious
to get both sides OF every question should
be thrown back upon Republican papers
which are not good, P. NJ. TUTTLE.

Us. BoIshecis,s,

The issue before the local American
workman is clear and he is willing to
fight for it, and 1t has not contributed any
thing toward the good feeling OF the
Americans toward the aliens Hundreds OF
our American boys gave up their Jobs and
went to fight in France to settle the Euro
pean situation, and while they were away
these aliens fattened on their Jobs and the
nigh wages paid, and now that peace has
come the boys want to work and the efforts
of the aliens to prevent it has only in
creased the loyalty of the men TO the com
pany. The boys say they fought to make
the world safe for democracy and thev Will
fight to make it safe 10 work here at home
They fee that their liberties arc being nn-
dermlned, and the feeling is growing chat
the foreigner shall be forced to become
Americanized else return to the land
whence he came. The mass Of the work
men regard it not the fight Of the
Steel Corporation against the workmen. bu+
the fight Of the Bolshevik to dominate +ba
American workman and rob him of his ,ib-
critics. These "orkmen claim that the com
pany has treated the men fair and souara
and that when just grievances arise the
superlntendents try to make them right and
satisfactory to the men. The company loans
them money at 5 per cent to pay for their
homes, and encourages them in many WAYS
TO improve their social conditions. and they
refuse to go back on the company unless
the conditions warrant It.

No Sympathy
With Strikers

There is quite a contrast between this
strike and the one in 1892, when men were
shot down in great numbers. At that time
there was sympathy for the man on strike,
while in this one there is not. l had talk
with the man who led the strike in 1892
only yesterday, and he carried q gun and
was helping to keep the peace and de
nouncod the strikers vigorously.
One of the pastors of one Of the largest
churches in 1892 came ont and preached
in favor Of the strike, but not pastor,
priest or rabbi, so far as we are able to
learn, is in sympathy with the men on
strike. Many OF our foreign born citizens
who mean to become Americans are as bit
ter against the strikers as the Americans.
One woman took dinner pail in one hand
and baseball bat in the other and marched
her husband up to the gate and sent him
to work, and no striker dared her TO
"strike.' The foreign born who are in SYM
pathy with country. our laws and insti-
tutons are remaining loyal to their work.
The striker has very hazy idea of why
he is striking, but the labor agitator knows
very well why he is leading the strike He
wants to break up the we'll known policy OF
the "open shop which has been in opera
tion since 1892 at this place. He sees in
the present situation opportunity to
exploit his followers. The effort is to
snatch the mills from the hands of the
trained operators and have them operated
by labor leaders and committees. Mr.. Fos-
ter has stated this very distinctly IN his
book on Syndicalism
Ii Mr. Foster succeeds in the programme
that he has outlined then the 60 per cent

complaints because Ding's pictures were not

The Foster Brand
OF Dynamite

In his book entitled "Syndicalism" Foster
says: 1.-THE Syndicalist is strictly an anti
statst. He considers the state q meddling
institution. He resists its tyrannical inter
ference in his affairs He is radical oppo-
nent Of law and order as he knows that
for his unions to be legal in their tactics
would be for them to become impotent. He
recognizes rights of the capitalist to
their property, and is going to strip them
Of it, law no law"
At the close of this little book of revo-
lutionary dynamite he says: "All working
interested in this movement to place the
American labor movement upon a Syndical-
ist basis can secure full information re-
garding the Syndicalist League OF North
America by communicating with ". Z.
Foster
This is the same man who Is the genius
Of the present strike among the steel
workers.
We now understand what sent shivers
down the spines of our local merchants
few days ago when the aliens within our
gates said: "We will pay for our goods
this week, but we viii take them for moth
ing next week.
We can understand the threats to blow
up the homes of the superintendent when
we know the kind of instruction these men
have received at the hands of their leaders.
A local priest said that he had been
preaching against the Bolshevist movement
for some time, but that ne could not make
any headway against it. for all that his
read was the Red literature. Thanks
to the firm policy of the officials in dealing
with the situation, nothing worth mention
ing has taken place Mob after mob has
been dispersed with very few scratches.

Why the Men
Are Striking

Why are the men striling7
That is question that the people are
asking here as well es elsewhere A few
days ago the New York Survey sent rep
rcsentatve to this field to study conditions
She went among the strikers and got their
side of the situation. She listened to their
story of bad treatment at the hands Of the
state constabulary.
I then asked her If she had learned why
the men were striking. She admitted that
the men did not know why they were strik-
ing. They claimed that the company had
been good to them and that their wages
had been steadily advanced and that they
were making moro money now than they
had ever made, and more than they could
make in any other line Of work
She said that in some way they had got
the idea that there was great deal of
money in the steel business and that men
higher up were getting big money and they
might as we'll have more than they were
getting.
One man, roller, who has been making
from $40 TO s35 a day, was among the
strikers
A young man OF foreign birth told rep
ing good money, but that he wanted shorter
hours.
Men who are ignorant and unslilled but
making wages that would thrill our school
teachers and preachers laid down their
tools and quit
The steel worker has In the last few years
received 10 per cent increase In wages,
while the teachers and preachers have
scarcely got so per cent
The; trouble with the situation here Is
due to two causes.
One of the causes is the steady increase
in wages, which has made the alien drunk
and he has not the appreciation Of it. If
he can make 5000 or $500 month. then why
cannot he have double that, for there are
other men who receiving that much

their work. Arc the operators tyrannical

men? Are living conditions had, and is this
the fault OF the company?
Tho public is asking these questions, and
the public has right to ask them and to
Have an answer and then cast It's sympa-
thy where It belongs.
The labor leaders met and went over
the situation and declined to heed the re-
quest of the President Of the United States
that the strike be postponed for few days
until the conference OF capital and labor
could be held.
Why did these leaders decline to listen
to the President at that time?
The writer does not propose to deal with
the strike situation in general, but with
that part of it which falls within his parish,
where he has been permitted to study con-
ditons at first hand. Homestead is the seat
of the original Carnegie Steel Company,
which formed the basis Of the organization
Of the United States Steel Corporation.
There are something like 10000 men en-
ployed at this place, of whom about 5000 are
foreigners, many Of whom cannot speak our
language.
The Figures
at Homestead
When the strike was called there were
less than per cent of the American labor
ers that answered the call, while nearly
SO per cent Of the foreign population went
out.
Many Of the foreigners went out because
of intimidations from the strikers, who told
them they would be killed If they worked.
The entire force of negro workmen
manned at work.
he highest estimate Of those out has
been placed at $500 men.
Now, If the strike was called because of
Mr.. Garys refusal to confer with the lead
ers of the foreigners, then one can see at
p glance at these figures some justification
In his refusal. If he had recognized these
men representing the workmen Of the
Homestead steel works, then he would have
had fully 80 per cent Of the men Of the
mill unrepresented, and the men who were
represented were the aliens, while the loyal
and true Americans We're not represented.
further consideration is the fact that
these 90 per cent most of whom are aliens,
had voice in the selection of the men
who would have represented them in con-
ference with Mr.. Gary. The reader can
therefore see that had Mr. Gary recog-
nized the 20 per cent aliens and dealt with
them he would have done an injustice to
the so per cent who were not represented
and had no voice in expressing their de-
mands.
Let the public judge the labor leaders
and Mr.. Gary in the light Of these facts,
which may be representative of at least
a part of the field, if not the whole of it.
