AMERICAN OUTPUT
Is 40 Per Cent More Than
COuntry's Needs

ST. Louis, Mo. American produc
tion is now on basis of 40 per cent
above the needs of this country, said
Edward A. Biggs, chairman Of the for
eign trade survey of the Mississippi
Valley Association, at its convention in
this city. United States Secretary of
Commerce Alexander took the same
position.
'The time has come said Secre-
tary Alexander, when our capacity
for production exceeds all legitimate
domestic needs and we must depend
upon foreign markets for the sale of
our surplus products if we wish to
avoid the slowing down of industry,
which would have a serious effect on
our economic and industrial life.

STRIKING STEEL WORKERS.
DID NOT WAGE LOSING FIGHT AS SOME WOULD
MAKE BELIEVE
Little Consolation For Enemy In Organizing Commit
tees Report

Pittsburg, Pa.-Opponents of the
recent iron and steel strike, who
claim these workers were defeated,
can get little consolation from re-
port just issued by the national com
mittee for organizing iron and steel
workers.
"This report, says the committee,
will forever silence, if not shame, the
class of men who were fond Of saying,
the steel industry cannot be organiz-
ed 1t was organized 1t also fur
nished crushing answer to Judge
Gary, who asserted that only 10 per
cent Of the steel workers were organ
ized This report represents an irre-
ducible minimum Local unions,
when organized, did not as a rule
make accounting to the national com
mittee for additional members enroll
ed"
The committee shows that during
tile period from August /, 1913, to
January 81, 1920, there were l56, ,7O2
workers enrolled and assigned to the
unions Of their craft in half hun
dred localities. This does not include
many thousands signed up at Bethle-
hem, the home of the Bethlehem steel
corporations Steelton, Reading and
numerous other points, nor in Gary
Joliet, Indiana Harbor, South Chicago
and other Chicago district points
where the committee ceased collecting
S Of initiation fees early last year
The record does not include the thou
sands Of men who joined local unions
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1920-05-07

and which were not reported to the
committee Neither does it include
the ex-soldiers who were admitted
without an initiation charge. In
Johnstown, Pa, 1900 ex-soldiers join
ed under this arrangement.
1T may be conservatively estimat
ed says the committee, that well
over 250,0o0 actual steel workers join
ed the unions during this campaign,
notwithstanding the opposition of the
steel trust, which discharged thous-
ands Of its workers, completely sup
pressed free speech and free assembly
in Pennsylvania and used every known
tactic to prevent the organization Of
its employees"
The committee states that at the
beginning of the strike approximately
$4,000 men were involved The
strike lasted three and one-halt
months and when it was called off
100000 men were involved.
"Wherever the national committee
started to organize the steel workers
it succeeded" says the report 1t car
ried on its campaign in the face OF
the most terrific obstacles. 1t was
confronted with all the opposition that
could be mustered by the steel trust
1t held meetings on streets, on noun
tain sides, in cellars and back rooms
and in halls But whether the oppo-
sition was much or little the work
never stopped
''The national committee began its
work on the theory that any men in

the reelection of those who have been
false to the truth which humanity
placed in them
We viii resist with all our strength
those who have accepted the suf-
frages Of men and women who day by
day give service to the country
through the toll and thought Of their
hands and brains and who have then
cast aside the obligation to court fa-
vor at the hand Of greed
We viii resist with equal vigor
those who have, without thought and
without price turned their minds Ia
legislative work into the channels Of
yesterday and the methods of centur-
les now dead
These we will resist as unworthy Of
America, as unworthy of the manhood
and womanhood of our country, as
false to our needs and hopes and as
pirations, and as incapable Of respond
ing to the thought Of our time
There must be progress. There
must be positive action. There must
be forward motion There must be
an end to negation, an end to re-
preston, an end to that which holds
back and thrusts downward the head
and the heart Of the people Of our
land
The American Federation of Labor
has called upon the working people
of our country to go into the pri-
malies and into the elections, visiting
singing rebuke and defeat upon those
who have been deaf to the needs and
the wishes of the great masses of our
people. At this hour. early in the
great struggle as it is, the response is
amazing and inspiring The heart
Of the nation beats as ii beat in the
stirring days Of 1918.
There is purpose and determination
IA nom partisan purpose to send up
to speak for US men who will speak the
speech that is in us. who will answer
to the throb of the nations heart, who
win act in accord with the big pur-
pose and idealism of true American
character
This struggle is the struggle Of the
American people to shut off forever
the encroaching forces of political
| and industrial reaction.
This struggle is struggle of
America to register a great determi-
/ nation not to be misrepresented.
Party and pronouncement Of the
past count for nothing Records and
deeds are the measures of men today.
BY what they have done We shall know
them, and knowing them, mark them
for defeat and rebuke!
This is Americas great testing of
spirit and purpose.
This is Americas 5 opportunity to
bring joy to the soul Of freedom.
Defeat every enemy
Elect those who are true
Solidarity and unity of purpose to-
day can only mean a magnificent ad-
vance for human freedom, a definite
measure Of progress won and held for
all time and for all humanity!

any industry could be organized if
they oculd be reached with the mes
sage Of unionism The report proves
the correctness of this theory. This
report should convey lesson and fur
nish an inspiration to the labor move
ment of this country. 1t means that
with the application of these same
principles any industry in America can
be organized"
