Gaining in intensity, the battle
between labor and the steeL industry
was centered today in Chicago and
Homestead, Pa, where two giant
demonstrations were scheduled by
the labor forces. The immediate OBJ
iective was to provide an initial i'm
petus in efforts of the Committee on
Industrial Organization to organize
the 100000 workers in the 5000, ,000,-
600 steel industry. Barrages and
counter firing from both sides have
continued in increasing vigor during
the past week with a key figure on
each side looSing an eleventh hour
blast last night. In this instance, the
spokesmen were Philip Murray, chair
man of the c. I. o. campaign unit, and
E. G. Grace, president of the Bethle-
hem Steel Co.
Murray, in printed bulletin sent to
all steel workers, set forth the objec-
tives of the committee drive. these in
brief being: %. To protect the con-
stitutional and civil rights" of steel
workers by assuring them the privilege
of organizing without company inter-
ference and, (2), to gain "the recogni-
ton of the steel corporations of the
principle of collective bargaining
through representatives of the ANAL
gamated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers"
Aim at Peaceful Means.
The bulletin said in part:
I'VE are not interested in promoting
strikes or causing industrial disturb
ances. Our aim is to organize the steel
workers into the Amalgamated Associ-
alton of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
through peaceful and constitutional
means.
Attempts on the part of officials of
steel corporations and local chambers
of commerce to create the impression
in the public mind that the steel
