OF STEEL STRIKE.
Republic Counsel Hits
Hostile Testimony

GN.S) Concluding its prelim-
mary investigation of industrial
warfare, the Senate Civil Liberties
Committee today prepared to delve
into a detailed inquiry of the
Little Steel strike of 1897.
High officials of the Republic
Steel Corporation, which figured
prominently in the strike, and rep
resentatives of unions, and union
workers will be the principal wit
nesSes.
The committee turned to the
main events of the bloody strike
after holding hearings on what
was described as a typical" strike
at a Republic plant.
WORKERS GRILLED
For three days, a long process
sion of witnesses, most of them
union workers, were gri1led con
corning a strike at the Berger
Company, Canton, Ohio, in 1885.
The Berger Company is a Subsid-
larry of Republic.
Lengthy testimony that com.
pany guards terrorized the town,
unnecessarily tossed tear gas, beat
strikers and shot into groups of
persons, was emphatically denied
by Republic officials.
AS the committee turned to the
Little Steel" strike, officials of
Republic accused it of calling
prejudiced witnesses and hearing
only one side of the story.
HITS TESTIMONY
Accompanying his request that
the committee summon IL persons
to testify regarding the Berger
strike. T. F. Patton, a Republic
attorney, said that most of the
damaging testimony against the
company came from witnesses
who are obviously hostile"
consequently a distorted and
one-sided version of the Incl

who operated the only filling station
in town. Those two did more business
that Sunday than they had done all

1t was as though Z charge OF cleo
