 Committee MEN TREATED FAIRLY Gary Claims That They Had No Complaints, But Were Driven to Strike
 By Labor Leaders
MEN TREATED FAIRLY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-E. II Gary, of the steel corporation. in formed the Senate committee which is Investigating the steel strike coh ditions, that the industry of the United States Steel Corporation paid the highest wages of worlds basic industries. He denied the reports workers in any manner.
 MT. Gary said the striking steel workers charged that the steel cor poration killed Mrs. Fannie Sellens at Breckenridge. Pa, sometime ago Gary said the steel corporation has no works at Breckenridge, and he believed that the coal miners prob ably killed the woman, accidentally, sAB the ooronef' $ vefdiet- showed ho corporation agent was connected with the murder.
 Senator Lawrence c. Phippes Of Colorado said he would get the yer dict of the coroner's verdict and file it with the committee for further reference.
 MT. Gary said that 69,o00 employ ees of the steel corporation worked 12 hours a day, and that 909,00o worked ten hours, and 88,00O worked eight hours. He said the general average wage was $2.93 in 1914, $6.27 in 1919. He said some of the super intendents get $7,000 or $S,0oo a year.
 MT. Gary said the men often told the corporation foremen and super intendents that they were satisfied with the working conditions and did not want to strike. He said the men were left free to come to the cor poration officials and make com, plaints and get adjustments at any time.
 Speaking further on the subject, MT. Gary said the control of Ameri. can industries by the unions would mean industrial decay and the drop ping off of production.
 Tt would mean" he said "that America cannot keep up in the race with the world. It would mean the condition I fear England is in now .
 He said the average unskiiled worker was paid $5 per day and the skilled was paid $6.70 in the steel plants. He repeated that the men did not strike of their own voli- tion. He said the labor leaders made them strike. and that tho men were now returning to work

HERE AT HOME
IN RICHEST CITY
OF THE WORLD
DeplOrable Are Conditions Existing
Among the School Children
Many Actually Die of
Starvation

Details of report in the N. Y.
Evening World based upon personal
investigation of men and women from
the most respectable bourgeois ranks,
and confirmed by bank directors and
school teachers of East Manhattan
show that many children in the richest
city of the world are literally dying
deaths of starvation; are clad with
rags so poor and filthy that a "rag-
peddler would not pay five cents for
all the clothes worn by class of 22
destitute children" inspected in a
classroom of school No. 35. Many
children in this room had not stitch
of underwear (the investigation was
made shortly before Christmas of
1919, and such underwear as some
of them had was not worth the name.
Many children had no shoes, and
others had no soles to such make-be-
lieves of footwear as they wore.
II am sorry to say" says one of
the investigating members of the
committee, "the schoolroom was any
thing but clean. AS We entered the
children looked at US with glazed
staring gaze, their eyes seeming far
to protrude from their sockets. 1t
was fearful sight. We learned that
most of them had come to school
without a breakfast But now with
milk prices so high it was simply i'm
possible to buy milk for the children
and lately some of them had spells of
swooning in the classroom. Others
had grown too weak to walk to their
homes and died there Tin school).
Underfeeding was the cause-a slow
starvation" In other schools of the
East Side similar conditions were
found to prevail.
II spoke with many of the children.
They said father and mother could
buy no milk for them, they received
no breakfast in the morning, and very
little food at the other times of meal.
They declared they felt sick"
A New York newspaper comment
ing upon this report says:
"All about us: prosperity, wealth,
abundance. In our midst, however,
hunger, misery, suffering, slow starva-
tion of children of the working people
in the richest country of the world
not quite a mile from Wall street,
where there are dozens, and hundreds
of persons so wealthy as not to know
how much they own. That is Capital
ism, the capitalistic order of society"
