Code Under Fire as Attempt
OF Big Companies to Continue
Monopolistic Rule Ouer Steel
Union Heads Charge United States and Bethlehem Cor
poratlons Conspre to Destroy All Independent Con
Germs and Labor Organizations in Erection Division
of Steel Industry.

Washington, D. C. ILNS)-A
slashing attack on the proposed MIRA
| code for the structural steel and iron
fabricating industry was made by la
Dor representatives at a hearing on
! the code.
President P. j. Morrin, of the In
ternational Association of Bridge,
Structural and Ornamental Iron
Workers, charged that the United
States Steel Corporation and Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation are attempting
to continue monopolistic practices in
the steel industry by bringing the
erection division of the industry un-
der the same code as the fabricating
division. He declared Section s,
Article ~ of the proposed code Sin
directly seeks presidential approval of
the monopoly and anti-union move
ment centered during past years, in
the United States Steel Corporation
and Bethlehem Steel Corporation.
Under provisions of the code, Nor
rim said, if an independent contractor
or erector should become a member
of the code he can not pay union
wages or agree to union standards of
work but must pay rates for iron
workers provided in the code, which
are much lower than the rates which
prevail in union agreements. Evi-
dence from the Lockwood inquiry of
1922 in which anti-union activities of
the two steel corporations was dis
closed was submitted to the deputy
administrator.
Autocratic Rule Sought
President Morrin charged that the
United States Steel and the Bethle-
hem Steel Corporations "have been so
incredibly bold as to have prepared a
code to submit to the national re-
covery administration through the
American Institute of Steel Construcy
tion, Inc, which, by its provisions, if
approved by the recovery administra-
tion, would put it and even the pres
ident himself in the embarrassing and
humiliating position of placing their
official sanction and approval up
on an instrument, designed to enable
these ruthless steel companies to con-
solidate or freeze all the gains of their
previous monopolistic practices, and
to assure them further of the special
privileges, under governmental sane
ton, of destroying all independent
labor organizations concerned with the
erectors of structural steel, and all
erection of bridges, buildings and
similar structures.
'This audacious and anti-social pro-
posal, as indirectly embodied in the
pending code of the American Insti-
tute of Steel Construction, Inc, may
be quickly ascertained by a careful
analysis Of the code ITSELF" he said.
"In the revelation of this conspiracy
is also to be found the real explana-
tion as to why the steel fabricating
companies added the erection indus
try to their code for steel fabrication
Urges Separate Codes
"If the unionized iron workers
whom / have the honor to represent
as well as all other organized labor
engaged in steel erection, are to be
emancipated from the destructive con.
troll of anti-union fabricating estab-

CLAIMED BY DEATH
Former Managing Editor of
New York Sun and State
Regent Head Dies.
BY the Associated Press.


GARDEN CITY. N Y, August l.
Chester S. Lord, former managing edi-
tor OF the New York Sun and chan
cellor of the Board of Regents of the
State of New York, died early today
at his home. los Fifth street.
He was SO years old
Lord was on the staff Of the Sun
AZ years. from 1872 to 1918, and was
managing editor of the paper from
1880.
lie was a member of the Board of
Regents Of the State of New York
from 1896 to 1904. and from 1909 TO
the present. He was made chancellor
in 1921.
Boss" Lord, as he was known to
two generations of New York news
paper men. was one of the figures of
metropolitan journalism who was re-
sponsible for shaping modern news
paper methods
Born in Romulus. N Y, the son of
minister. Lord FIRST thought of fol-
lowing his fathers profession. but after
a year of study in that direction turned
to newspaper work after selling a series
OF articles TO tne Utlca, N. Y, Herald
Having definitely given up preaching
for writing Lord went on the Oswego
IN. Y Advertiser in 1871 as all asso-
Gate editor
He stayed year and then made the
plunge into New York newspaper work
by starting with the Sun at $40 a week
After five years in the city room OF
the Sun, he bought an interest in the
Syracuse IN. " Standard. but when
minority stockholders called his notes
six weeks later after disagreeing with
his editorial policy. he went back tc
the Sun. Three years later. in 1880
he became its managing editor.
Men of the Sun staff always remem-
bered Boss" Lord for his leaning tC
practical jokes and for his fullhearteC
support of his reporters. The Sun mer
were always right until proof to the
contrary was furnished Lord.
When he retired from the Sun in
1918, single news paragraph appeared
in the Suns columns informing the
public. It was the first time a Sun
man had ever made" the .ws columns
of the paper.
