PHIL MURRAY DAY IS
PLANNED BY S. W. 0. C.
The Steel Workers Organizing Com-
mittee plans to mobilize its Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia
members on Saturday of this week for
a mass demonstration in honor of its
chairman, Philip Murray.
The rally will mark the first annual
observance of “Phil Murray day” —in
token of Mr. Murray's leadership in
the CIO campaign to organize the
steel industry. In future the annivar-
sary will be observed on June 17th,
{ the birthday of the SWOC.
Since Mr. Murray, vice president of
the United Mine Workers, assumed the
leadership of the steel union, some 1 100
lodges have been chartered with an
estimated membership of more than
500,000 and wage-hour contracts
signed with 595 steel companies.
