Lewis threatens to prosecute Morgan in steel union drive
John L. Lewis steered a campaign to recruit 500000 steel workers into the Amalgamated Association while charging the steel empire with civil war against unionization and promising action against J P Morgan and other bankers if law violations are found. The Wagener act court fight continued as the St Paul appeals court blocked NLRB hearings in St Louis and the Supreme Court was expected to rule in the fall. William Green of the AFL prepared a statement on the federation stance toward the drive.
