wildly in my mind are those
which took place during the
big copper strike of Northern
Michigan, while I was the
Prosecuting or District At
torney of the then second
|wealthiest county in the
state.
This strike lasted almost
nine months. Much suffering
and many hardships were en-
dured by those who remained
on strike during this entire
period. They suffered hunger
and discomfort for lack of
sufficient food, clothing and
fuel for their homes. They
were on picket duty in rain
and stormy weather, when
the temperature was 10 and
Is degrees below zero, in this
cold northern climate. At
times the snow was over 4
and 5 feet deep.
The Croatian and Slovenian
workmen formed a large part
of those who were on strike.
Not many of them deserted
the Union. Most of them re-
manned loyal to the union
cause and continued on picket
duty, regardless Of weather
conditions, discomforts and
other hardships. They quit
when the strike was officially
called off by their Union Of
ficials. This was a real dis
play of courage and loyalty
to the Union cause. / hope the
present and future leaders of
our big Unions do not forget
the part played by our Gro
attain workmen in the strug-
gle for union recognition in
our mines and factories, in all
parts of this country.
The following is a brief &C
count of some of the most i'm
portant happenings of this
strike. Some Of the things,

In July, 1918, about 5, 1000
workmen, of the big rich

Michigan, went out on strike

that were coming in.
BY late 1916 the Allegheny
Conference finally began to
roll in high gear. When a
threat of boycott by the coal
interests appeared, the Con-
ference made an exhaustive
check of all available low
volatile fuel in coal fields in
Western Pennsylvania. Even
tually, the coal and railroad
interests were swung over to
the Conference point of view.
A big Disco plant was built
and railroads began convert
ing from the old steam en-
gines to the more modern
smokeless diesels. Coal and
railroad officials even be-
came members of the Confer
ence.
In less than a year Pitts
burgh began to emerge from
an old to a new look. Less
smoke meant cleaner air and
more sunshine. Owners of old
buildings that were black with
CRIME and smoke took a Sec
ond look and hired washers
, to steam-wash the buildings
and they once again stood out
in their original color of light
brick or stone.
Meanwhile, while battling
for flood and smoke control,
the Conference had picked up
two gigantic construction pro-
.jects - Point Park and Penn
Lincoln Parkway. The first
move was to make the his

Brief Report From
Yuqos|av Travellers

having some TIME TO relax,
prior to their journey back
to U. S. shores, reports are
beginning to trickle in, and
from them it is quite evident
that this excursion will be
long remembered by every
participant.
While these reports are
brief, and we are certain that
much more will be written
and said by the many tourists
on their return, it is crafty
ing to hear that they have
enjoyed themselves on this
h~istory-making ex cursio n,
earned by their efforts in be-
half of the Croatian Frater-
nal Unions membership cam
paign.
In a report from our Eng
lish Editor, Stephen F.. Br-
kich, we are told that the trip
is being enjoyed by everyone,
and the hospitality shown
them by the people in Yugo-
slavia is unmatched. Being
busy with the many details
connected with responsibility
as the leader of the group, a
more detailed account of the
tour must be delayed at this
time, but will be written on
his return to his desk in the
Home Office.
In addition to this word
from Brother Brkich, we
would like to bring here a few
excerpts of a letter from
one of our tourists, writer
to her father, with his per
mission to do so. A teacher
in one of our leading High
Schools, viewing the toul
through the eyes of an intel
lectual writes Dear Dad, this
is the first chance I've had tt
sit down and concentrate or
writing a letter. What a won
derful and exciting time I've
had. The tour is over now ant
I felt terrible when I had t.
say goodbye to the group"
There is just too much tx
say, but that l loved every
minute of it and I'll never
ever, forget it. I'm a walk

After reading the com

the tour is a great success
We are happy that they hav

so Years Service

~ n this page can be found the first in
~ stallment in a series describing one
short but very interesting event in the life
of Brother Anthony Lucas.
Brother Lucas, a former Legal Counse-
lor of our society, is believed to be the first
Croatian that attained the right to practice
law in the United States.
Celebrating his fiftieth anniversary Of
active Legal Practice this year, his career
has been marked by many interesting cpl
sodes, one of which is described in the series
beginning in this issue.
Elected to the Office of Prosecuting At
torney at an early stage of a long and color
full career, he has, as we may say practiced
his profession on both sides of the fence,
that of prosecutor and defender of those
involved in infractions Of the law. His re-
cord shows that he was most vigorous in
the performance of his duty in all instances,
whether his role at the time was that of
prosecutor or that of defense counselor.
This record is a credit to the legal profess
sion, and Brother Lucas is a credit to the
Croatian people.
X K X
DURING this whole time, Brother Luz
cas- has kept in close contact with the Gro
attain people, by his interest in our organ
i~zations, and at times probably at the ex-
pense of neglecting his law practice, when
he thought his action would bring results,
in his opinion, beneficial to his people.
We recommend you read this first SER
les as written by Brother Lucas, and we
shall prevail upon him to describe other
interesting chapters in his long service, and
many contributions to the legal profession.
To Brother Lucas we extend our sincere
wishes for goodahealth, happiness, and sue
cess in his remaining years.

will cost considerably more
when finished. 1t was started
in 1913, and it will take ano-
ther two years to finish. AL
though a comparatively short
highway, it is a marvel Of en-
cheering. It's one mile long
tunnel under Squirrel Hill is
considered one of the most
beautiful tunnels in the coun-
try.
During these formative
years, the city was struck
with it's second disaster that,
like st. Patrick's Day flood,
proved to be a blessing in dis
guise. The Wabash railroad
terminal and the warehouses
adjoining the Point area, were
razed by a ten million dollar
fire. Out of this holocaust
came the chance to rebuild %
blighted acres and the spring
board for the Gateway Center
skyscrapers.
The Gateway Center
! Gateway Center rose, al
most literally from the ashes
of the old Wabash Terminal.
Point Park, at that juncture,
was a definite plan. But those
most deeply concerned with
the redevelopment of Pitts
burgh, feared that the park
would be an isolated area, a
hiding place for the drifters.
The park would be cut off
from the upper Triangle, not
only by the railroad property,
but by the blocks of old build
ings which then made up the
lower Triangle. All these
would have to come down or
undergo drastic face-lifting.
So, the Wabash fire helped di-
rectly in the start to clean up
that area.
At that time the leaders
were thinking Of the Metro
politan Life Insurance Co.,
which had pioneered in clear
ance of blighted areas in New
York and development of new
properties. But soon after the
Equitable Life Assurance en-
tered the picture and was
sounded out on the possibility
of investing Equitable capital
in redeve1oping Pittsburgh.
One factor that helped decide
the insurance company TO in
vest in Pittsburgh was the
smoke control plan, without
which they would have turn
ed their backs on it. OF
course, much study and nego-
tiation was necessary before
Equitable could positively
commit itself to an invest
ment Of staggering proper
ton.
; It took three years before
they gave their final decision
and when they did, it burst
upon the city with dramatic
timing, Sept. 20, 1919. The
: demolition Of buildings on the
% acres, which the Gateway
Center was to occupy, pro-
ceeded with swiftness. Almost
overnight, it seemed, such
landmarks as the old May
fair hotel, which many dele
gates to the 1947 GU Con-
vention will remember, since
it was the headquarters for
many social evenings Of that
memorable convention, passed
from the scene. But for the
most part it was a dreary
neighborhood that was erased
for the impressive buildings
that were to be erected in it's
place. All told, 40 buildings
went down, all constructed Of
heavy masonry.

stainless steel skyscrapers be-
gan in November, 1850 and

One of the most practical
