Synopsis

Excerpt from The Pittsburgh Survey, Vol. 1 of 6

Underlying the initial reasons for such a portrayal of labor conditions in the steel industry, is another reason which developed in the course of the inquiry, and which, as with the Mariner's tale, leaves no choice open as to the telling. The issues which Mr. Fitch takes up are of a sort which are not publicly discussed in the mill towns of the Pittsburgh district. Old employes do not dare petition their employers to consider them. Men have been dis charged for calling meetings to discuss them. It would mean instant dismissal for large numbers of men should they act to gether to affect these things in the way that farmers would take up freight rates or the price of apples at a grange hall; and dismissal would mean the entire dislocation of life. An old resident is quoted by Miss Byington as saying, If you want to talk in Home stead, you must talk to yourself.

It is fully time to bring these issues out into the open, where a man will not risk his livelihood by discussing it. That is the manner of America.
