Judge Gary Denies Suspected Steel Strike Abuses
Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of United States Steel, told a Senate committee there was no basic industry paying higher wages than his company and no mistreatment of workers. He said wages rose from 1914 to 1919 across divisions and blamed union leaders for the strike. He rejected claims of abuse and defended company practices and arbitration openness.
