AMERICAN WAGE
RATEEIRED BY

Russell Sage Foundation Finds
Corporation Dominates
All Industry
By InternatIonaI Now service

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-The
far-reaching extent to which the
labor policy of the United States
Steel Corporation determines the
wage scale of steel workers
throughout the industry and
thereby makes difficult the de-
velopment of the employees repre-
sentation movement, is shown in a
report issued today by the indus
trial studies department of the
Russell Sage Foundation as the
result Of a five-year investigation
of the industrial representation
plan of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company, one of the indie
pendent steel companies, of which
the Rockefeller family is principal
owner.
WOrl1men's Share Small.
The report declares that, through

sentation plan, the men in the steel

says, limits seriously the scope of

men throughout the industry as a
whole secure adequate and effec-
tive representation in determining
wage standards, those employed in
any one plant such as the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company's steel
works, are bound to be dissatisfied.
Every week the steel workers
in this company are reminded by
their pay envelopes that the scope
Of their representation does not

The lack Of this representation
in the determination of wage
scales, according to the report, was
one of the principal reasons why
the steel workers of this company
walked out practically in a body
when the national steel strike Of
1919 was called. Notwithstanding
the fact that they had already en-.
ioyed the eight-hour day, as well
as several other conditions which
the men in the rest of the industry
so badly wanted.
