0 etntion of Labor, who is here in connection with the steel strike, declared in
an interview today that the reports recently circulated throughout the coun
try to the effect that the steel strike is being run by radicals is distinctly
untrue.

recognized officials of labor unions who are directly under the control of the
membership of -their various unions and are acting in accordance with a gen
eral plan agreed upon by a majority of the unions associated in the strike.
Ho said the reports are aimed at injuring the cause of the steel strikers in the
eyes of the public.

ever as the companies intend to hold their output at the level it is at present
for some time to come and are provided with ample help to eonduet operations
on the present scale.
New forces are being organized which will handle the output without
need of further employees, the officials say. ^
The unions deny these statements , however, and say tlie companies
are seriously handicapped by shortage of labor.
