Article III. ,
" in: this article I wish to show how one great section of American
industry looks from below, to the workers, taking the specific situation
at Gary, Ind.,-as . the explanatory example. It is only as one. tries to
understand how the worker feels and "thinks his, own actual point of
view that we can get at the problem. In my previous article, Ihave
tried to ,explain how industry looks from above to the employer.
just.
!;
:When I went to Gary tojnake in
quiries about the steel strike I had
in mind the 12 demands made by
the national leaders when the men
walked out on September 22; but I
heard only two discussed with any
emphasis either by the workers or
the management.
First, the 12-hour day.
.- Second, tjie right to organize and
to bargain collectively with the em
ployer. -The 12-hour day is a very real
thing in the life of Gary, and I tried
' lira number of specific cases to find
out what it means. Here is the ex
act daily schedule of a skilled Amer-
: . i - i. j it -
woriviiKiii who ciora ii nours a
day during one week and 13 hours
a night during the next. He has his
Sunday free, though many men in
the steel industry still have the
seven-day week; nor does he do the
loner-turn" nf 24 hnnr rnntiniinuc
service when the change from day to
night work takes place a practice
still persisting iti some centers of
the steel industry. In prder to get
cheap rent for there is a great
snoriage or nousmg in uary tnis
man lives four miles out from the
mill,. He must, therefore, in order
to be on time, get up early.
rvry Man Exist Only.
4;30 a. ni. he arises and gets break-
5:10 he leaves home.
5:55 lie reaches the mill.
tkOO he begins work. "
'-He is on duty steadily until 5
0 clock in tile afternoon. There is
-j no stoppage for 'the luncheon, but
he has time, during waiting periods,
to get something to eat. He arrives
1 home at 6 o'clock; soon after he
finishes his supper he must go to
bed, for at 4:30 in the mtrning he
must be "up again,
. During tlie night shift he gets up
'soon after 3 o'clock in the after
noon, starts work at 5 o'clock, works
13 hours, until 6 in the nlorning, is
home at 7, and in b.ed before '8. In
cluding the time it takes to go and
come from the mill, this man's time
is really commanded for some 14
hours every day.
He has been at this work all his
life; he now makes $7.87 a day.
don't live," he1 said, "I just ex
tet work and sleep. I don't get
any time to see my family. I can't
pro tp any entertainments without
, taking it out of my sleep; and I am
too tired to go to church on Sunday,
or to do anything else but lie
' around."
, How It Strikes a Pole.
Another striker, a Pole, said to
nie in broken English:
- J'They tell us go to school, learn
American. - When we get time?
Twelve hours a dayl What the hell
they want!" ,
Remember, I am trying" to show
just how it, looks from below.
According to Judge Gary's, testi
'. mony 'before the senate committee.
there are 69,284 men in the United
, States Steel corporation now work-iug-the
12-hour day and there are
many thousands more in the inde
1 pendent companies. A great pro
portion of these 12-hour men are
foreigners, of some 42 nationalities
at Gary, alone, speaking a babel of
tongues and hitherto unorganized
and unorganizable.
When I remarked to a group of
worker that Judge Gary had told
the senate committee that employes
of the United States Steel corpor
ation desired a 12-hour day, and
even a seven-day week, in order to
make more money, I was greeted
with a shout of laughter,
j ."Want itr said one of them. "We
! can't help ourselves. The mills run
on the two-shift basis and it s either
12, hours or quit. -Besides, at the
rate of wages per hour paid by, the
company most of the men could
not. iiye' unless they worked the
long hours." .
So much for the 12-hour day.
The senate commiftee, in the recent
conclusions after investigation, said:
"That the laborers in the steel
mills had a just complaint relative
to the long hours of service on the
part of sorfre of. them and the right
to have that complaint heard by the
company. '
"We. believe where continuous op
eration is absolutely necessary the
men should at least be allowed one
day's rest in each week."
The Demand to Organize. '
The other great complaint, the
demand to organize and bargain
collectively, is more complicated
goes down deeper into the roots of
the -controversy. For, if the work-,
ers "were granted the eight-hour day
and ,the six-day week, this other
demand would not only persist but
probably be ' strengthened. I met
one steel employer, who said to
me: "Hvyou give an inch; if you let
them discover that agitation and
organization gets them anything,
rou've gone, t Gary's right"
He spoke of RrckefeJJer's intin-
durtion of the eight-hour day and
sliop. committees in his Colorado
rthntf. "Did it stop the strike?" l.c
isked. No, they re. out with all :ho
thcrs. So ire the Cambria mills
hre tfiev. have mmnanv tmior?.
lary's right' 'There is one independ
Yt mill that was scarcely touched
V the strike. It has been looked
ir with some envy m the steel -n-Sry.
Its superintendent explained
the managed hi workmen: ,
Wch 'em young; treat -tm
V tell 'em nothing."
this question of unionization
illective bargaining as Judgo
Vstified is the real crux of the
He saw it long ago when tho
Vnoration was organized, and
Vever changed in his opiniou
or in his policy of opposition. Ke
has never "treated, 'em rough" quite
vt!ie contrary, as I shall show in
other articles but upon the ques
tion of unionization and collective
bargaining he has been adamant.
The worksrs also recognize this
as the crux cf the problem. I cid
not find much complaint of wages
at Gary, for average wages of all
employes since 1914 have increased
from $2.93 a dav to $6.27 per day,
114 per cent. This increase corre
sponds roughly with tire increase in
the cost of living. There are also a
considerable number of workmen at
Gary, especially of the higher grades,
whe live at low rentals in company
houses or who own their own homes
and some who have been assisted by
the corporation in buying stock.
These men for the most part did net
stril;e at all. '
I asked one group of strikers what
it was, then, that they wanted.-Every
one of tliem had been working in
the Gary mills; every one of them
spoke English well two were of
pure American stock, one was of
Dutch ancestry, two Irish, one Eng
lish, two Serbian, three Polish.
"Striking for Freedom."
Since I am trying to show exactly
how the strike looks from below, I
am going to put down exactly the
answer I got:
"We are striking for freedom." -
"What do you mean by freedom?"
I asked. ,
"Well, the righ' to have our or
ganizations, the right to employ rep
resentatives to act for us, just as the
Steel corporation does, and the right
to bargain collectively with thetein
plovers for our labor." ... '
I found this group of men very in
telligent. They told me that; it had
been the settled policy of the Steel
corporation from the beginning to
fight unionism, and one" of them
handed me a publication containing
a copy of a -resolution passed by the
Steel corporation on June 17, 1901
six weeks after its organization
(which I have since verified: it ap
pears in the reports of the United
States Bureau of Labor), as follows
"That we are unalterably opposed
to any extension of union labor, and
advise subsidiary companies to take
firm position when these questions
come up, and say that they are not
goinft to recognize it, that is, any ex
tension of unions in mills where they
do not now exist, that great care
fhould be taken to prevent trouble
and that they promptly report and
confer with this corporation.",
- Wh'Ie Judge Gary testified before
the senate committee that men were
rnot discharged for belonging to. un
ions, the strikers not only assert
here at Gary, but witnesses from the
Pennsylvania mills asserted before
the senate committee that many
such discharges had been made.
"Oh, the foreman doesn't say,
'You're a union man, get out' But
every movement, every whisper it
the mill is known. If we have a
meeting, we know there is a spy in
side, or else the foreman or other of
ficials, come and stand outside the
hall, and watch the men go -in. Let a
man try to get the workers together,
try to organize, and some day he'll
get his pink slip because he's had in
accident, or for one of a hundred
small excuses."
Whatever may be the instructions
from Judge Gary, this is what the
strikers everywhere in the steel dis
tricts believe. Indeed, the second de
mand of the 12 tha they made when
they struck reads thus: .
"Reinstatement of men discharged
for union activities with pay for time
lost."
Foreigners and Unionism. ,
Arother thing they believe, is that
foreigners of so many nationalities,
who are now accused of causing
most of the trouble, were deliber
ately brought in by the employers in
order to make organization impos
sible. The difficulties inithe way of
unionizing ignorant men speaking 20
or 30 different languages are, of
course, almost insurmountable. "But
rth company denies this." I said.
"Of course they do but look at
this advertisement."
And they handed me a copy of an
advertisement in the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times
cf July 14, ,1909 (which
I also verified).
- "Wanted Sixty tin-house men,
tinners, catchers and helpers- to
work in open shops; Syrians, Poles
and Roumanians preferred; steady
employment and good wages to men
willing to work; fa.;- paid and no
fees charged for this work." ;
They have a most extraordinary
mixture of human begins in Gary
the Croatians and Poles leading,
with large numbers of Greeks,
Slovaks, Russians, Swedes, Hun
garians. Latterly the Spaniards have
been coming in, and since the war,
and especially since unionism began
to threaten, many ignorant negroes
and Mexicans. In the main -mill at
Gary over 1,000 negroes are now
employed. ' ,
Power of Corporation.
I asked why it was, then, if this
was a strike for freedom, that so
many men had gone back.
"That's easy enough to answer. In
the first place the power and watch
fulness of the managers was such
that we never could form a very
strong union. How can you get ig
norant Hungarians, 'Italians, Poles,
negroes and Mexicans together and
teach them the value of organization
when the dread of the boss is al
ways over them? And no sooner
does the strike start than the mili
tary comes in and prevents picket
ing and prevents any large meetings.
Many of these foreigners are easily
frightened by soldiers; they've had
experience at home. On the other
hand, the most intelligent men, who
ought to be leaders, hold high-paid
places or are buying company
nouses, or are getting bonuses, or
are working for pensions. They
know that if they go out they lose
everything. , Since this strike the
company has done itsbest to stir up
racial and national feeling between
the skilled American workers and
the negroes and foreigners. It's
their cue to keep us apart and dis
organized. So it has got to be a
movement largely made up of the
unskilled. laborers, and they are for
eigners. And there you are. Oh,
they know their business the Steel
Corporation 1. And that's what has
made wild radicals of some of the
foreigners; they don't see any other'
way out except secret Organizations
and revolution."
Another .thing .-these workers be
lieve and believe everywhere in the
steel districts, as shown by the sen
ate investigation is that the gov
ernment is somehow against them;
the government meaning to many of
the foreigners for they know net
to nothing at all of American in
stitutions the local police.. I am
not entering into the Question of
-whether, they are right or wronz.
out trying to get flown what the
the vitaP condition! under which
they work and live.
"But," I argued, "Judge Gary said
to the senate committee that any
worker or group of workers could
make a complaint and gej it rem
edied; that all superintendents were
especially instructed upon this
point."
I am going to put down the ex
act answers I got .
"Say, Mister, you weren't bom
yesterday, were you? What chance
do you suppose one 'hunkie' or a
bunch of 'hunkies' would have get
ting to Judge Gary with a corrr
plaint, or even getting to the head
t it. tii:; c.l enmnanv?
men ui uic iiiiiivia fcjtvv, t -
And what do you suppose would
happen if they complained very
often over the head of their fore
men? Here's the pink slip for you
guys."
Minor Complaints.
There are many other minor com
plaintsso the strikers argue that
can only be met when the workers
are organized, just as -the various
mills are organized, in one body, and
can meet the employers upon equal
terms. There are examples of petty
graft by foremen upon ignorant
workmen, men are -laid off without
explanation or excuse, the plants are
closed down without warning, and
the loss-falls upon the workers (13
"per cent of the possible working
time is thus lost every year to te
employes). x
This state of mind at Gary, and
elsewhere in the steel industry, has
resulted m vast losses to every one
concerned. Though the mills are
operating again," there are many
strikers still out and still agitating,
soldiers are still on guard. A con
siderable number of foreigners have
drawn their money from the postal
savings bank, sold their Liberty
bonds, and gone home to Europe,
thus further reducing and disorgan
izing the labor supply. Some of the
skilled men have left for other in
dustries. Two electricians, for ex
ample, whom I met, had easily found
work at; the union scale of a dollar
an hour in Chicago; more than they
had received in the Gary mills. The
mills are , running inefficiently, with
many inexperienced men, and the
whole morale is low; and this at a
moment when the world never, need
ed steel products as it does now.
tf o
actually believe or feel, for it is noN who collect from the trappers.
upon what they ought to. believe and
feel that they act. but upon what
they, do believe and feel. Well, they
believe that the officials and con
stabulary are controlled by the steel
companies. In Pennsylvania there
is every evidence of suppression and
even violent suppression, by the
constabulary. Much testimony was
given before the senate committee
to show that there is no such thing
in some of the steel towns as free
speech or free assemblage. The
companies assert that thi& control
is necessary to preserve order and
protect property; but from below,
to the strikers, it looks like op
pression. - ,
In the next article I shall try to
exhibit the radical fringe of the la
bor movement, show what it is that
the. employers fear, who make up
these radical groups, and try to esti
mate the extent of their influence.
Fur Prices Will Remain
High, Is Word of Dealer
New York, Jan. 3. Reduction in
fur prices is unlikely "for a long
time," according to Norman H. Ba
con, president of the New York Fur
Auction Sales corporation. Mr. Ba
con said today that on arecent trip
to the middlewest and Canada he
'was met everywhere by reports of
short catches, especially of musk
rats. Prices for "rat" skins are rising
daily in consequence. Trappers are
making the most of the situation,
he said, as are' the country dealers
FOR
Believe Themselves Suppressed.
Many of the officials in steel
towns are employes of steel
companies. Even in Gary; where
the control has been less rigorous
than in Pennsylvania, I heard much
of the same kind of Complaint.
vvnetner me strikers are right orf
wrong, no honest inquirer can avoid
the impression that they feel them
selves suppressed. Much is done for
them by the Steel corporation; but
of themselves, either by political or
social organization, they feel they
are allowed to- have no say about

Exhume Bodies of
Eight Members of
Holladay Family
Harrison, N. Y., Jan. 3. The bod
ies of eight members of the family
of Benjamin Holladay, who many
years ago was known from coast to
coast for his great wealth and the
lavish manner in which he spent it,
have been removed from the crypt
under the little stone""chapel at
Ophir farm, in Purchase, where they
had been for years, and placed in a
vault at St Marys cemetery in Rye.
The vault was constructed at the ex
pense and under the direction of
Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, widow of the
American ambassador to the court
of St James, who now owns Ophir
farm.
Mrs. Reid's action was prompted
by the'fact that many private ceme
teries in Westchester county have
been obliterated through changes in
ownership of the estates upon which
they existed and the desire to pre
vent such a contingency in the case
of the Holladay family.
Benjamin Holladay, who made his
fortune through ownership of the
Ophir silver mine in Nevada, died in
Portland, Ore., 30 years ago. Most
of his once great fortune had gone
by that time.
The bodies removed tod lu
elude his, that of his wife and Jen
nie Lind Mary H6lladay, Countess
A. De Pourtales Gorgier; Pauline
Cassandra De Bussierre, wife of
Baron De Bussierre of Paris; Madge
Holladay,. Joseph C. Holladay and
an unidentified infant They had
died in widely separated parts of the
world, ranging from San Francisco
to Hongkong' and Kentucky to
Paris.
