Steel Barons Deny Any
Thought of Wage Cut
After Sending Out
"FeeIers"

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Steel barons have
been throwing out "feelers" on how
a wage cut would be received. but the
reaction has not been favorable and
they now loudly disclaim any inten-
ton of reducing wages. One spokes-
man for steel says that the attempt
to liquidate labor "at this time" will
not be successful.
Steel profits were high the first
quarter of the year, but decline
from peak production has set in, and
the steel managers would not object
if workers could be induced to accept
lower living standards that their un-
usual profits may be maintained.
The steel managers have their eye
on that 10 per cent wage increase
they made last year whers forced to
abandon the long work day. AT that
time it was necessary to raise rates
as workers could not be held if the
low hourly rate We're applied to the
shorter work day
Now, as compared with last year,
the demand for labor has lessened.
BECAUSE of this unemployment, it was
believed the workers objections to
wage cuts could be overcome by prom
ising them work at lower wages. This
is the favorite tactics of wage re-
ducers.
If cut is agreed to by the steel

TRUST LOSES
In Fight to Hold Workers

Seattle,-A Hindu and Filipino
who were arrested on complaint of a
Chinese labor agent for breaking their
contract have been discharged by Pol
ice Judge Gordon.
The Orientals signed for employ
ment in the Alaskan canneries and re-
ceived money from the labor agent.
They were housed on one of the can
merry trusts "hell ships" and escaped
Their violation of contract is a
violation of state law and they were
arrested, though the prosecuting at
torney declared his repugnance at be-
ing compelled to enforce legalized
peonage. The Sailors Union inter
ceded in behalf of the victimized men
and they were admitted to bail
In dismissing the complaint, Judge
Gordon said conditions on the hell
ship" are so vile they were justified
in quitting. The contract had already
been voided by the Gamers because of
their failure to provide suitable quar-
ters, and the court
1t is believed Judge Gordon's de-
cision has dealt hard blow to the
labor agents evil. During the winter
agents of the cannery trust advance
small amounts of money to Orientals,
who are told they will be jailed under
the state law if they do not live up to
the agreement they signed when they
received the money. Through this
state aid the cannery trust and the
"hell ship" enforce peonage
Attorneys for the Orientals have
filed suit for damages against the
Northwestern fisheries company and
the labor agents. False Imprisonment
is charged. The bill of complaint
states that more than 100 workers,
destined for Alaska, were crowded in
a space on the "hell ship" 40 feet
square between decks, with a small
hatchway the only ventilation. The
unfit food, an inadequate amount of
water for drinking and bathing pur-
poses, and no tables for eating are
other indictments.
