INDUSTRIAL WORLD HOLDS BREATH AS JOHN L. LEWIS
TRIES TO UNIONIZE STEEL’S HALF MILLION WORKERS
movcment to ""lonize the steel workers into an industrial
union. On the opposite side is the American Iron and Steel Institute, representing 95 per cent of the
steel companies, which has opposed unionization successfully for years.
By SIDNEY EIGES
Central Press Correspondent
PITTSBURGH, July 16—From head
quarters high in one of the tallest
office buildings in Pittsburgh, a
thorough systematic drive is under
way to join the nation’s 500,000
brawny steel workers into one giant
industrial union. And the industrial
world holds its breath, for here are
titanic forces girding their strength.
The guiding genius of this union
movement is snaggy-bowed John
Llewellyn Lewis, head of the United
Mine Workers of America, itself one
of the most powerful industrial unions.
The steel companies have combat
ted unionism successfully for half a
century. In 1892, when the workers
first organized many fell before blaz
ing guns in the Homestead strike.
This year the steel companies are
more closely knit than.ever, with 95
per cent of them joining forces in
the American Iron and Steel In
stitute. But. for the first time, both
state and national governments are
in hands that the steel interests
believe to be "unfavorable.”
Incur Green’s Wrath
It was Lewis and his mine workers
union that formed the Committee for
Industrial Organization for the steel
unionization mopement. Joining the
mine workers were nine other unions,
all opposed to the craft unionist pol
icies of William Green, head of the
American Federation of Labor. As a
result, all have incurred Green’s
wrath, although in labor circles it is
said a truce is close at hand, brought
on by a common "defense” against
the new onslaught of industrialists.
Lewis believes that all the workers
in a given industry should be joined
in one great union. Green believes
that the workers should be unionized
by craft, that is the machinists should
have one union the rollers another,
and so forth.
Lewis and his cohorts seek to en
force collective bargaining and “clos
ed shop” in the nation’s steel mills.
Under this system, only union work
ers would be permitted employment
in union shops as only union miners
can work in union tipples. Lewis says
that only by having a powerful union
of their own making can the steel
workers achieve fair working condi
tions.
Companies’ Stand
The American Iron and Steel In
stitute has served warning that “the
steel industry will oppose any at-

tempt to compel its employes to join
a .union or “to pay tribute for the
right to work”. It has served public
notice that it will fight to the last
to keep the steel industry non-union
and to bargain wih its employes
hrough its own employe-representa
tives. But the C. I. O. answers that
the empolye-representatives are mere
ly leaders in the so-called “company
unions” and hence not thoroughly
responsible to the problems of their
co-workers.
Lewis has answered the steel in
stitute’s statement in this manner:
“That statement amounts to a de
claration of industrial and civil war.
It contravenes the law! It pledges the
vast resources of the industry against
the right of Its workers to engage In
self-organization or modern collective
bargaining. The announcement has
fallen short of its purpose.
"I wish also solemnly to warn those
who represent the steel industry that
their unlawful, ruthless tactics of form
er years will not be tolerated by our
committee.”
In Washington, Secretary of Labor
Frar.es Perkins and her aides are
keeping a close watch on the steel
unionization movement. The depart
ment is preparing for any eventuality,
even bloodshed although Secretary
Perkins hers?jf has stated she does
not anticipate such extremes. She ad
vised the steel companies not to be
come “panicky” ana to permit the
unionization mov' ment to proceed.
Workers Have “War Chest”
The Committee for Industrial Or
ganization has undervzritten a SSOO,
000 war chest to finance the steel
unionization campaign. Scores of
trained organizers have been sent
into the field, into ’he great steel dis
tricts of western Pennsylvania, east
ern Ohio, Illinois and Alabama to
contact the workers and sow the
seeds of unionization.
The vehicle by which the unioniza
tion is being carried out is the Steel
workers Orogamzing Committee, head
edby Philip Mm raj, a trusted lieu
tenant of Lewis’ in the United Mme
Workers of America. Murray, direct
ly in charge of the campaign, is func
tioning through the Amalgamated As
sociation of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, the oldest chartered steel
union in the country.
The Amalgamated when it voted to
join forces with' Lewis at its recent
convention in Canonsburg. Pa., had
only 4,000 members on its books. It
has given way almost completely to
Lewis, Murray and their aides in the
current drive yielding virtually all
its prerogatives except its name. After
several w’eeks of debate, Amalgamated
headed by aging and ill Michael T.
Tighe, its 78-year-old president, fin
ally voted to accept Lewis’ offer, thus
precipitating the great union drive.
Back of the union leaders is a his
tory of bloody and disappointing de
feats. They were crushed in the Home
stead strike of 1892, the first attempt
to force unionization on the steel in
dustry. William n. Foster, later a
Communist leader, sought to unionize
the steel industry in 1919 and failed
dismally, even the American Federa
tion of Labor then declining him
wholehearted support.
Conditions approximating those
of unionism were given the steel
workers by the NRA. But a fighting
young lawyer, Earle F. Reed, who re
presented the Weirton Steel corpora
tion. and its affiliates, went to the
courts against the NRA and. won,
nullifying the labor provisions of the
Blue Eagle act.
The present plan is to push the
organization work throughout the
summer and late autumn and if and
w’hen sufficient forces are enrolled
under the union banner to lay de
mands for shorter working hours,
higher pay and better working con
ditions before the steel companies.
That final showdown may not be un
til next sprin gor later—unless the
steel companies force the issue sooner,
while the men still are not completely
organized, union officials say.
Some/ observers believe the steel
companies are trying to force the
issue immediately, deeming that this
is the time to act.

Not In the News ;
By WORTH CHENEY
The tilted-nosed, haughty intelli
gentsia, who thrive on culture for
breakfast, luncheon and dinner, and
look with scornful disdain on the
commonplace and the practical, are
found in most every community.
Naturally, they are found at the
colleges and universities, where cul
ture is the hope and ambition of
every student, and often is errone
ously believed to be symbolized in the
elaborate designs of a graduation
sheepskin.
Culture, ot course, abounds at Ohio
State university, Columbus, Ohio, and
so do the intellectual snobs. It was
among them that John Cowper
Powys, author and poet, once found
hmself when he visited Columbus on
a lecture tour.
• • •
The celebrated Powys was feted
and entertained handsomely during
his brief stop in the Ohio city. His
hosts were the cream of the cultured
crop. They had read everything
worth reading, seen everything worth
seeing and heard everything worth
hearing—that is, within the bounds
of that doubtful quality known as
culture.
To be able to meet and entertain
the noted author was more than a
treat for these high minds; he was a
prize that would furnish the main
topic of discussion in literary and
social circles for weeks to cofne. And
to be one of his entertainers was, of
course, a privilege and a social advan
tage.
• So it was that his greeters were
the selected few —those, we suppose,
who really could appreciate such a
great writer.
• • ♦
One of the functions given in
Powy’s honor was a luncheon, staged
at one of those exclusive eating em
poriums where the common herd sel
dom treads. Around the table with
Powys sat the elite of Columbus’ cul
ture and intellect. The discussion,
of course, was of a literary nature.
They talked of this book and that
poem, how superb was this story, and
how utterly dull was that plot. In
such a setting, one would think the
literary world was on trial.
But among the group was one "
young man who was taking very lit? - J
tie part in the conversation. As a
matter of fact, his sole contribution
at the gathering was an occasional
smile bestowed upon those who look
