IN AIDING BIG INTERESTS IN STEEL STRIKE is SHOWN IN
REPORT OF INQUIRY COMMISSION OF INTERCHURCH

RACES Committed BY Hired Sluggers Workers

tice of telling different story" from
the rest. None changed its policy
adopted at the start in the light of any
later Investigations or protests. Even
when the editors believed the facts
to be different from what they print
ed no change was made in regard
either to particular stories or general
policy.
To illustrate the unfairness of
these newspapers, the report reprints
their headlines and then compares
them with facts that Investigators de-
veloped. On November II it was an
nounced in first page stories that the
strike had collapsed at the Cambria
mills in Johnstown. 1t was stated
that from 5000 to 10000 strikers had
broken ranks. The report states that
600 men were at work on the date
referred TO.
Extended reference is made in the
report to the repeated claim that the
strike was "bolshevist" and "of Ger
man origin" The church men dis
miss these charges with this state
ment:
"The most casual inquiry would
have sufficed to develop the fact that
the steel workers felt that they had
actual grievances; that hey complain
ed of the conditions under which they
had to live and that many of them
were living in congested and intoler-
able surroundings; that for the most
part they were working 10 to IL
hours, many of them with a 24-houl
shift every fortnight, while many
worked seven days in the week.

New York.-The unfairness of the
public press toward steel strikers two
years ago is shown in report just
made public by the commission of
inquiry of the interchurch world
movement
In explaining how public opinion
was manufactured against this nation
wide strike, the report should be the
last word to convince organized
workers that it is necessary for them
to support their labor press.
Practically the entire press of the
country is included in the church
mems indictment.
The report states that 400 issues
of seven English-language dailies in
Pittsburg, appearing during the first
two months of the srike, were analyz-
ed. Of the 400 issues, there was but
one example of frst-hand investiga-
tion of conditions among the strikers
by Pittsburgh reporter. This single
instance concerned police outrages on
foreigners. 1t appeared in the Pitts
burgh Press on October 8 and the
reporter described her Investigations
as Startling" Neither the Press nol
any other paper printed another story
of the kind.
The report quotes many headlines
and stories from the Pittsburgh Ga
zette-T Times, Chronicle Telegraph
Post, Sun, Dispatch, Leader anc
Press, and notes some of the more
obvious connections between then
ownership and industrial and fnan
cial iterests.
No one of the papers made prac

the international Harvester Company
an employe representation, or, as they
later termed 1t, an industrial council
The management, in shaping up the
policy for this industrial council, re-
viewed it's past relations with It's en-
ployes: 1t was generally conceded
that the employees usually got e0nsid=
cradle bunk and fell far short of get
ting a fifty-ffty square deal.
'Tn some plants the foremen of the
various departments had in the past
been encouraged in practicing trick
cry on the employees, who in turn
were led to believe that they should
get square deal from the men.
These methods had in many cases
caused the men who were wise enough
to see this trickery, to go about the
shop poisoning the minds of other
men and causing general disontent
wherever they were able to get a hear
ing"
| Further on Mr.. Young remarked:
THAT when the council was organic
ed our shops were operating about
thirty-two 1922 per cent piece work,
which in few months was increased
to sixty-fve (65) per cent piece work. "
In conclusion he adds this state,
ment:.. MANY of the manufacturers
go into this work half heartedly. The
directors of these companies expect
to sit In the graadstand and do the
cheering while the employees do all
the work" The manufacturers who
starts in this way can only fail in
every respect"
"There still remains one question
you no doubt are all asking: What
will pre-war conditions do to reduce
the present scale of wages?' This
remains to be SEEN"
Here you have it. Mr.. Young
frankly admits the practice of trick
cry on the employees, also that in
some plants the foremen of the va
rious departments had in the past
been encouraged In this deception
How, under heaven, and In the name
of common sense, are employees to
believe the employer in the face OF
such frank admission?

not trick him again and deceive him
oftener? And this is strictly piece.
work shop. If, under the admission
of trickery, the employees were oper'
ating at about 80 per cent piece-worl
output, and, under the new industria
council, the output has been increased
to IS per cent, what kind Of trickery
and new bunk is the company hand
ing out now to the employees to secure
this big increase on the piece-worl
plan? Here we find an employer ad
mitting tricking and fooling the EN-
ploye in order to gain greater pro

when this industrial council is form
