PREDICTED 50 PERCERT DRITISH MANUAL
UDOR WILL DE IDLE WITHIN ORE WEEK
Special to the Nugget By the Associated Press.
GLASGOW, Scotland. Oct. 1—The strike situation is steadily growing
worse and threatens to paralyze industry throughout the kingdom.
Robert Stnillie, the leader of the British coal miners, predicts that
fully fifty per cent of all the manual labor in England will be idle before
another week has passed, Smillio says he expects that the tying up of the
railroads will precipitate a situation without precedent in history and will
fore© the closing down of a majority of the mines, shipyards, factories and
steel mills throughout the country.
| The shortage of supplies and fuel resulting from the railroad strike
is already making itself seriously felt here and many plants are on the verge
| of closing down. Rail traffic is practically suspended throughout the
j country.
The Clyde shipyards are almost at a standstill owing to the lack of
J materials and numerous other lines o( industry are fo<>ling the effect of the;
strike shutting off supplies. All efforts made by the government to bring
about a settlement have beet) fruitless, the railroad workers clinging firmly
tc* their original demands.
GARY DENOUNCES UNION CONTROL OF U. S. INDUSTRY.
Rl-ecial to the Nome Nugget by The Associated Press:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1—Chairman Gary, chief executive officer of the
United States Steel Corporation, who is in Washington in connection with
the congressional hearings on the steel strike situation, declared In an interview'
today that the control of American industries by the unions would inaugurate
a period of industrial decay and speedily result in a vast decrease in production.
Gary asserted that the obvious tendency in this direction is certain to
invito great industrial dislocation if permitted to progress and if brought* to
tho point whore union control of industry is an accomplished fact will si>ell
disaster to Industry.
"Union control of industry will -mean,*’ he declared, “that America
cannot keep up In the race for business with the ^st of the world and will
speedily find her industries lagging both in vigor and output. • It will
mean the establishment In the United States of conditions similar to those
obtaining, in England at the present'time and will ultimately place this
country In the same condition I fear England Is in at present as a result of
the dominatlve influence of the unions."
Gary said the wage situation In this coutnry Is without parallel at
present.
“The average unsettled worker in the steel plants Is paid five dollars
a day wages," he said, “while the skilled workers receive a wage averaging
six dollars and seventy cents." Gary declared the conviction that in view'
of the preset size of the wages paid, the claim that w'agcs are inadequate
to meet the costs of existence is scarcely sustained. The steel magnate said
he did not believe the men employed in the stoel plants struck on their own
volition and attributed their strike inclinations' to the urging of the labor
leaders. “The labor leaders and not the wages, mode the men strike”, he
declared. Gary stated in conclusion that the steel strike will not last
long ns the men are already returning to work In daily Increasing numbers
