14 STEELWORKERS GIVE REASONS FOR STRIKE [Continued from First Page.] 4 yet, out of patriotic consideration to our cause, they endured the con tinued suffering without cessation of their labors to the end that despot ism abroad might not gain thereby aid and comfort. 98 Per Cant- For Strike "Immediately after armistice was : declared, the men insisted upon hav- V ing their wrongs righted. They were \persuaded, however, to wait until jthe Atlantic City convention of the ;American Federation of Labor, held (in June, 1919. Following a report _ 'made to that convention, Mr. Gom pers sought a conference with Mr. Gaby, chairman of the finance com mittee of the United States Steel Corporation, on that subject in the hope of avoiding a grave industrial conflict. Mr. Gompers, whose con structive patriotism is beyond any question, was denied even the cour ,, tesy of a reply. Then the men in sisted upon action, and, following authorization for taking a vote upon a strike, beginning with July 20 and ending August 20 this year, 98 per cent, of the men voted for a strike. "Following the vote taken, a com mittee representing the crafts in volved went to Mr. Gary for the pur pose of obtaining a conference, in the hope of avoiding the strike. Mr. Gary refused to see the committee or deal with any one of them. The committee, still desirous of avoiding the conflict, laid the entire matter before the executive council of the American Federation of Labor. Mr. Gompers and the executive council endorsed the actions of the men. Nevertheless, in the hope of avert ing a conflict, an appeal was made to Tour Honor. "Mr. Gary, obtsinate In his denial to grant relief, caused such a great unrest as to necessitate calling a | meeting of the presidents of the 24 crafts involved. After a thorough, | calm and deliberate review and i study of the entire situation, taking i into consideration all the conse- ! quences that would naturally How therefrom, these 24 presidents, rep- | resenting over 2.000,000 organized j men, endorsed the strike and set! September 22 as the date therefor. | Gives Eleven Reasons "In a meeting called on Septem- ! ber 17 at Pittsburgh of the repre- i sentatives of the aforesaid crafts for j „ the purpose of devising ways and means of conducting the strike, your I communication through Mr. Gorn- i pers requesting that the date of the j strike be postponed was received, j Two days of consideration were | given t 0 the same. Everyone pres ent desired, if it were possible, to comply with your request. Your re quest for postponement would have I been gladly granted, were it not for ' the following facts: "I—Mr. Gary has asserted that his j men need no trained representation in their behalf in presenting their grievances, notwithstanding that they can neither economically, by lack of means, nor intelligently, by lack of schooling, cope with him or his representatives. "2—That, ever since the men I started to organize, a systematic persecution was instituted, begin ning with discharge and ending with I murder, recalling to us vividly the I days of Homestead and the reign of j despotism in ltussia. Free Speech Suppressed "3 —Through the efforts of the representatives of the steel industry, officials in various localities have de nied the men from assembly and free speech. Instances are too nu merous where meetings have been suppressed, men arrested, tried on various unfounded charges, exces sive bail required and cruel punish ment imposed, all without warrant in law and justice. "4—As one of many examples—in the city of McKeesport, a meeting held by the men within their con stitutional rights was broken up and men arrested and thrown into jail, charged with riot and held to the excessive bail of $3,000 each, while one of the hirelings of the steel in dustry arrested for the murder of a woman speaker at Brackenridge, ] Back Again— | | The Dubbel-Hedder | jlj Suits For Boys The Dubbel-Hedder two-pants suit was an or- ||l| fiij iginal Globe creation, but owing to War condi [lll tions and by recommendation of the War Economy f||j Board we discontinued it.

Guns Planted in Mills "s—Guns and cannon have been' planted in mills, highly charged j electric wires have been strung j around their premises. "6—Armed men in large numbers ; are going about intimidating not ! only the workers, but everybody in ' many communities who show the ' slightest indication of sympathy with ! the men. "7—Men have been discharged in I increasingly large numbers day by I day. Threats and intimidation are resorted to for the purpose of put ting the men in fear and prevent them from the exercise of their own free will, coerced into signing state ments that they are not members, nor will become n;embers of any la bor organization, and threatened with eviction, blacklist, denial of credit and starvation. "B—That a forced decline of the market would be imposed, so as to wipe out their holdings in stock, which they were induced to purchase in years past. Threats to move the mills and close them up indefinitely. "9—That an organized propaganda for villiticution of the American Federation of Labor, spreading ru mors that the strike will be delayed and that such delay is only a sell out. "10—Showing no opposition to the men joining dual organizations. As a result of this propaganda, the I. W. W. is making rapid headway in some of the districts. Preparing to Cut Wages "11—That the real reason for op position to organized labor repre sentation on behalf of the men who j have grievances is that the steel in- I dustry is preparing to cut *vages j and to lower the standards to pre- | war times and to return to a con- | dition that encouraged the padrone system, so prevalent in that partic ular industry. "Mr. President, delay is no longer possible. We have tried to find a way, but cannot. We regret that for the first time your call upon | organized labor cannot meet with favorable response. Believe us. the | Your Complexion By All M eans A Beautiful Skin nud Stuart'* Cai- | eiuni Wafer* Have Uncle Thou- | sand* of Calrl* Happy Don't smear the face with creams, lotions, powders and rou:e to hide L. j what ought to be real natural beauty.

But delay here j means the surrender of all hope, i This strike is not at the call of its I leaders, but that of the men in | volved. Win or lose, the strike is i inevitable and will continue until industrial despotism will recede from 'the untenable position now occupied !by Mr. Gary. We have faith in your j desire to bring about a conference land hope you will succeed therein. We fully understand the hardships that meanwhile will follow, and the reign of terror that unfair employ ers will institute. The burden falls upon the men, but the great re sponsibility therefor rests upon the other side."
