Steel Labor History

tiations got nowhere. 1t was the
first major strike by the Steel
workers Organizing Committee.
an organization formed by the
CIO to organize steel industry in
1896, with Philip Murray as head.
Thirty-six hours later the COM
pany gave in.
1937-Second major strike came
against combination Of Little
Steel" companies-Bethlehem Re-
public, Inland and Youngstown
Sheet & Tube. The issue was the
firms refusal to negotiate con-
tract. On Memorial Day, first day
of strike, at Republics South Chi
cago plant, a battle between police
and strikers occurred as the union
staged parade. Seven were killed
and 80 wounded. Six others died
in Massillon, Ohio. two in Youngs-
town and one in Beaver Falls. Pa.
The strike generally ended in fail
ure as workers gradually returned
to work.
1946-CIO-United Steelworkers,
successor to SteelWorkers Organ
izing Committee. demanded pay
increase of 81 day. United States
Steel refused. Negotiations got
no further than the unions de-
mand for a Is cent hourly pay
increase and company's offer of
Is cents. Other companies stood
behind United States Steel. In
last minute effort to stave off a
strike. President Truman proposed
a compromise 1872 cent hourly
pay boost. Strike ended FEBRUARY
Is when United States Steel, fol-
lowed by other companies. agreed
to sign a contract with an 1872
cent pay increase.
1949-Union calls out $4,000
members in strike for industry
paid pensions and insurance.

Russia and was a tool of i'm
perialism.
Yugoslavia's answer called 1t an
attempt at "blackmail."
The reference to blackmail was
not clear, but Russia has been
doing what it can to arouse old
line Communists in the country to
act against Tito.
Previous rumors Of Soviet troop
movements along Yugoslav bor-
ders have been interpreted in this
light. Military action there might
be expected to scare some Yugo-
slavs into hewing to the Soviet
line.
The formal reply to the Russian
treaty-breaking note said the Tito
government never expected Russia
to deny any peoples right to gov
ernment themselves.
Stain Declaration Quoted.
1t quoted Prime Minister Sta
Inns 1941 declaration that Russia
did not and could not have war
aims "such as imposing our will
and our regime upon Slav and
other peoples of Europe who ex-
pect help from U.s."
Mr.. Stain was quoted as saying
that it was his governments goal
to help these people and let them
freely organize life in their coun-
tries as they wish to.
There can be no interference
in internal affairs of other peo-
ple's," the note reported Mr.. Sta
lin as saying.
But. it added. Russia now was
guilty of rank interference" in
Yugoslav affairs. Its thought, in
doing so. it continued, was to
place Yugoslavia in "a politically
and economically inferior posi-
tion."
Three other Cominform men,
bers appeared certain to follow
Russia's lead in telling Tito they
are no longer friends. They are
Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and Ro-
mania.
Albania-also a fellow traveller
-repudiated several agreements,
chiefly economic. with her Tito
led Balkan neighbor year ago,
soon after the Cominform de-
nounced the Yugoslav regime.

Italian Colonies Vote
To Offer New Test Of
Tito Split With Reds
By the Associofad Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Oct. H.
Two weeks of United Nations ses-
sions are bearing out Yugoslavia's
assertions she no longer is voting
mechanically with the Soviet bloc.
The Yugoslavs have voted
against Soviet proposals and can
didates. They have abstained
from voting for Soviet projects.
And they have. voted for Soviet
proposals. several times with .
qualifying statement that gave no
comfort to Soviet delegation
leaders. r.
An approaching vote on the old
problem of what to do with 1taly's
prewar colonies will be another
testing point of the new Yugoslav
independence of Moscow.
The Italian colonies question
came up again in the Political
Committee yesterday. Alberto
Tarchiani, Italian Ambassador to
Washington, was today's first COM
mittee speaker to present his
country's viewpoint. Russian OPP
position has kept Italy out OF the
U. N. so far.
Three big powers outlined their
stand on Italian colonies yester-
day, Russia offering surprise
proposal that Libya be granted
immediate independence.
The British delegate. Hector
Mcneil, suggested that Libya DO
made independent not later than
five years from now and not earl
ier than three years.
Philip C. Jessup, American am
bassador at large, suggested three
or four years to work out freedom
for the great shore area along
North Africa.
The British and American dele
cations proposed similarly that
Eastern Eritrea go to Ethiopia
and Western Eritrea to the Anglo
Egyptian Sudan; Italian Somali-
land should be placed under a
U. N. trusteeship administered by
Italy.
The Russians demanded that
all military bases in Libya be
ended and foreign troops with
drawn in three months. They
also called for independence for
Eritrea and Italian Somaliland
at the end of five years. During
that period an administrator
chosen by the U. N. Trusteeship
Council would rule those areas
under their plan.

Unemployment Figure.
Shrinks in September;
Farm Prices Higher
By the A.seeioted Press

The reopening OF schools and
a spurt in production were cred
tied today with cutting down un-
employment in September Tor the
second month in a row.
While much of the $4,000 de-
cline estimated by the Census Bu-
reau was traced to those who
gave up the job hunt to resume
school work, the bureau found
some evidence" that adult unem-
ployment shrank, too.
On the other hand, "the re-
turn to school Of numerous sum-
mer workers" also caused $685.
900 drop in employment from
the 1949 peak reached in August.
Totals for September were
placed at 59,411, 900 civilian en-
ployed and 1851, 900 unemployed.
With 1.459.o0o armed forces per-
sonnel added to civilian workers,
the number OF jobs was 60,870, 900.
Gratifying" Secretary Of Com
merce Sawyer commented, adding
that the Census Bureau report
further holsters accumulating
evidence that general business
conditions are improving"
Along that line, the Agriculture
Department reported that farm
prices went up an average OF
almost 2 per cent from mid
August to mid-September-the
first upturn since March.
Despite the rise-which was led
by meats. truck crops, poultry,
eggs and dairy products-the level
of farm prices still is IA per cent
below a year ago.
But some declines in the whole
sale prices of agricultural products
were reported by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics for the week end
ing September 81. Wholesale
prices as a whole. the bureau said,
dropped IL per cent in that week,
bringing them go per cent below
the corresponding week OF last
year.
Drops were noted in hog, steer
and cotton wholesale prices, while
grain prices climbed slightly.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 1.-The
first steel strike in the United
States occurred more than 100
years ago. Here are some OF the
bigger strikes in that century-plus:
1842-Short-lived strike by un-
organized steel workers seeking to
blaze the unionization trail.
1845, 1849. 1865-Similar work
stoppages result in formation OF
Sons of Vulcan, forerunner OF
steelWorkers' union.
1869-Short strike at Carnegie
company mill in Homestead, Pa,
wins contract for Amalgamated
Association OF Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, successor union to the
Sons of Vulcan.
1892-Carnegie company de-
cisions to cut wages brought on
bloody strike in which seven
strikers and three private police
were killed. Many were injured.
Strike dragged on for a few
months and virtually finished the
union.
1909-Newly organized United
States Steel Corp. was struck by
the amalgamated association. Aft
er 14-month struggle union was
eliminated from all United States
Steel subsidiaries.
1919-Another serious attempt
made to organize the steel indus
try after a series of World War I
strikes. The American Federation
of Labor also met defeat. In
September, 365. 200 workers went
on strike. Martial law was de-
clared in various areas and 20
deaths were attributed to the
strike by the union.

for a 40-hour week. This means
that the strike costs workers about
$780, 900 in wages weekly.
The steel industry Is losing that
sum and more in weekly profits.
Present steel reserves are expected
to last three to six weeks.
If the current walkout lasts as
long as the 1916 strike-29 days
it could result in forced unemploy-
ment for another million workers.

Coal StockpiIe Is Higher
Thon This lime Last Year

PITTSBURGH, Oct. / (P.-The
Nations coal strike is two weeks
old today but, ironically, coal
stockpiles are higher than at the
same strike-less time last year.
The Bureau of Mines reports a
48-day supply on hand. That
compares with the 46-day supply
in 1948.
And the coal may last lot
longer than 48 days. Usually a
prolonged coal strike shuts down
the fuel hungry steel industry.
Now the steel industry is closed
by a strike of its own. That
drastically reduces the Nation S
fuel appetite.
