Gompers before Senate Committee
By The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26DThe
right of the employees to have some
voice in determining conditions under
which they work is the paramount
issue in the strike of steel workers
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. told
the senate investigating committee
today. Appearing as the second wit
ness for labor, Mr. Gompers was first
asked by Chairman Kenyon, to de-
fine the issues of the controversy.
"The right to be heard is what the
steel workers are asking above an
else," Mr.. Gompers said. ''The right
to speak with their employers through
their own representatives.; to have
some voice in the conditions In which
they work; the right of workers to
associations has been denied-denied
by brutal means.
"It has been said that most OF
the men taking part in this strike are
Of foreign birth and not naturalized
citizens. That may be and no doubt
is true. The largest proportion OF
steel corporation employees are OF for
eign birth. But these men were
brought here by the company.
There was for years systematic
effort to bring In these men from Eu-
rope. There was a systematic effort
to eliminate Americans. They have
harvest to reap now"

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 26:-1nterest
in the steel strike situation in the
Pittsburgh district today centered
about the fight of the union for the
right OF free speech and free assem-
blage" in Allegheny county
The action of troopers and other
officers in forcing suspension OF what
union leaders term "orderly and law
full meetings since the strike start
ed, has caused the workers to appeal
to Sheriff William s. Haddock with
the request that county authorities
afford them protection. The troop
ers made claim that in breaking up
the meetings they are carrying out
recent proclamation by the sheriff in
which the gathering Of more than
three persons at any one point with
in the strike zone is forbidden.
According to union representatives
the sheriff has given them permission
to hold indoor meetings within the
county and has promised protection
for "orderIy gatherings" of strikers
in halls. Attempts Will be made i'm
mediately to hold such meetings in
communities where they have here
tofore been barred or dispersed. The
union leaders made this announce
ment.
