Annual Meeting of Red Cross

nograph Shop. This meeting is for

BOTH SIDES CLAIMING GAINS
IN THE STEEL STRIKE
Steel companies whose plants are
operating in the Pittsburgh district
continue to report steady progress to
ward normal conditions. No an
nouncement of additional mills start
ing up came from anywhere in the
Pittsburgh district, but several in
other steel centers were reported as
having begun operations.
Strike leaders at the headquarters
of the steel workers' national com
mittee expressed gratification at the
steadfastness of the union men.
While steel companies reported a
steady stream of workers the union
leaders maintained there were no defections.
Americanization of foreigners
should be an immediate effort of
Congress through legislation, de
clared Senator Kenyon of Iowa,
chairman of the Senate labor com
mittee, which has returned to Wash
ington from an investigation of the
steel strike in the Pittsburgh district.
Asserting that about half of the steel
workers are of foreign birth and can
not read, write or speak English,
Senator Kenyon said one of the first
aims of Congress as a result of the
committee's inquiry should be Ameri
canization legislation. The Senator
declined to discuss other ideas gain
ed from the committee investigation
which he said would be continued in
the near future, possibly in other
strike districts.
