I-‘itspatrick made ht statement after he had told the com- mittee that the steel oificials took ev- ery means to prevent tmionina-. oi’ their plants. and declared bad con- ditions in the steel industry were used in preventing the securing of improved conditions elsewhere. W. B. Rubin. steel workers‘ counsel. told of events leading up to th egtrike_ "Long hours and small wages in the steel industry." Fitzpatrick aid. -“banal a tendency to drag conditions in the industry backward and downward. Treatment of labor in the steel indus- try cannot be described. The steel company here resorted to every ef- fort to thwart action toward labor or- gnniullion." ".\'ot only organized labor but un- organized labor will be asked to send representatives before the Senate in- vestigating committee." Senator Ken- yon said. He wants to get the views oi non-striking workers. Later the committee may go to Pittsburgh and other districts. Kenyon said that no untouched. The committee will check facts as to the number organized. the number the number complaints of employee and terms on which both aides would be willing to compromise. "They are going to ask that the United States give them justice. and until that is accorded they are not going back to the mills." I-‘cater told the committee. Foster declared that should they go back. the renulliwould be that the workers would be "shot to pieces." "Just as a rotten apple will contam- inate an entire barrel." he s d "so does the steel industry contaminate the entire labor situation. That is the reaason why the steel industry must be organised now. The bad conditions in the steel industry are used to pre- vent the getting of better working conditions in other occupations" (‘H0088 OFFICERS AT CHRISTIAN lllrls Name lies Eugen Field Student Preallnnl.
