The company forced the men to trade at their
store. At one time they would redeem the script
at 80 cents on the dollar, then 70 cents. then
they refused absolutely to give the miners any
American dollars. The miners were getting
more for the 10 cents at an independent store
800 yards away than possible for the dollar
at the company store.
One miner worked in this mine for years
and said the biggest pay he had drawn was
$500 Another worked seven months and lived

"THE next time they march they should turn
into the mill gates instead Of going past
and well all go along with them" said one
worker in the tube mill OF the Wheeling Steel
Company Steubenville, at the Ohio Valley Con-
ference OF the Metal Workers Industrial League

hunger march Of 1900 striking miners and I'M

ers Other men assented vigorously. Il wish
we'd have known about that march; I'd have
layed off work and gone with them
Are these remarks chance expressions OF iso-
lated steel workers or are they based upon the
conditions under which the masses Of the steel
workers labor? Those who know of the speed
up under which one man is forced today to do
the work Of tc men, know that these were
no isolated utterances. They know that, re-
marks such as these are often made in the mills
today, and that they run through the minds OF
countless thousands Of steel workers who dare
not give utterance to them for fear OF losing
their jobs.

Before the strike the miners were earning on
an average OF SITS day When pay day came

every other pay school Is cents; besides the
regular cuts for blacksnlithing, supplies ETC.
When the miner looked at the bottom OF the
statement he often found he was in debt TO
the company.
Although the miners paid the company doc
tor $225 month they found he was good for
nothing but testifying for the compensation
