Steel Strike Report Filed by Senate Panel
The Senate Labor Committee released a report on the steel strike, urging labor reform and anti strike legislation. It calls for a war labor board like body with mediation powers, Americanization efforts, home ownership aid, English learning within five years for immigrants, and new strike laws to curb anarchists. It faults strike leader William Powter and notes wages were not the main issue, with July 1919 average pay around 6.27 dollars. Laborers had grievances over long hours and sought redress through their employers rather than strike.
