strike situation to include the i'm
portation Of gunner and the
illegal holding of machine guns
and "other war paraphernalia' by
the steel firms involved
BY the Associated Press
Senator Gutfey, denouncing refusal
of independent steel companies to sign
contracts with the unions, told the
Senate today their action "smacks of
an arbitrary frame Of mind pretty
close to dictatorship"
The Pennsylvania Democrat laid
"sole responsibility" for the current
steel strike at the doors of the inde-
pendents, saying they could end it inn
mediately by signing up as the United
States Steel and other companies had
done
Gufev delivered a prepared speech
to the Senate. He said the refusal of
the big independent Steel compa MES
to sign with the union rs a situation
which has no explanation in common
sense in morals or justice"
Perhaps we are here seeing the
dying gasp of the so-called rugged
individualsts-Tom Girdler, Frank
Purnell and the Block brothers In
Chicago" he added.
He said the independents had an
nounced recognition of the steel
union and said they would accept the
terms OF the contract but would not
sign.
Il contend that such an attitude"
he continued, taxes ones belief in
their sincerity to carry out the terms
OF the agreement. Without a signed
contract. there is nothing to prevent
Tom Girdler, for instance, from issu-
ing an order tomorrow to cut wages
and to lengthen hours. OF course,
his Workmen could go on strike, but
that's exactly why they are on strike.
I confess, gentlemen, that this
attitude on the part Of Republic Steel,
youngstown Sheet & Tube, Inland
Steel and the others who are refusing
10 sign an agreement is one of the
most amazing spectacles in our era.
1t smacks of an arbitrary frame
OF mind pretty close to dictatorship
1t seems to me that the American
people should be told of this great
injustice being done to the steel
workers; and it seems to me American
public opinion should tell Tom
Girdler, Frank Purnell and the Block
brothers that the just thing, the right
thing to do is to sign a contract with
the union"
