Steel Strike Witness Claims 340000 Unionists in U S Steel Fight
Fitzpatrick testifies about a nationwide steel strike led by 24 AFL unions with 98 percent approval in many locals. He says about 340,000 now joined the strike, 100,000 in the industry when it began, and 50,000 more joined after hope rose. He alleges intimidation by company gunmen, deputy sheriffs, and bosses, and recounts a deadly incident in Breckenridge, Pennsylvania.
