ments are quoted In the report
on "under-cover men in the steel
strike," wblrh declares that
widespread systems of espionage
are an integral part of the anti
union i policy of great Industrial
corporations."
Private Spy Plan.
"Industrial espionage Is con
fined to America," says the re-;
port "What espicnage there is
in Europe is a government monop
oly; no other civilized country tol
erates large scale, privately own
ed labor spying."
The spy hired by the steel com
panies, says the commission,
worked like a workman, talked
like a workman, whispered de
pressing rumors, stirred up racial
spite, and argued failure to the
strikers, and "even in his daily
mailed spy reports he advises net
so much 'sluggers as 'influence
by municipal authorities to close
up public meeting places."
Church Is "Trailed."
The report also traces the al
leged practice of industrial es
pionage against the commission
and the Interchurch Movement
from November, 1919, to the sum
mer of 1920. The report of an
unnamed "under-cover man" who
pursued the commission's investi
gators in rtttsbnrgh and Inspect
ed the Interchurch offices in New
York, designated as Document A,
la given In full. It was Bent to
the offices of the United States
Steel corporation, it is stated, and
was dated two days after the
commission's first interview with
E. II. Gary, chairman of the cor
poration. The "anonymous" re
port called the Investigators
"members of th3 I. W. W. and
Reds." ..!.-. -
After Ministers. ,
; Two other spy reports against
4he Interchurch- were detailed,:
one, of which described as Docu
ment D, was" alleged to. have been
mailed by- Ralph f. Easley; "of
the National . Civic federation, to
the .offices of the United .States
Steel, corporation '. on March 9,
1920, with a letter requesting
that the clergymen reported In it
be "kicked out of their positions.";
"Mr. Easley's letter gave as his
reason for sending the report oa
men In the "Interchurch .World
Movement, the Federal Council of
the Churches of Christ and the
Y. M; C. A," the fact that "at this
time they are proposing to raise
hundreds of millions of dollars for
this work." The commission said
that "none of tne men spied on by
his agent had anything to do with
the Interchurch steel report." j
, Movement Wrecked. , j
A third document circulated in
the spring of 1920, the commis
sion says, had been described by
hnilnai, man wKn Vi a rl thnvftd It

comprised 26 typewritten, pages
and included much cf the spy ma
terial in Documents A. and D, it
was stated.
Six hundrod alleged, daily , re
ports made by "under-cover men"
or spies in the town of Monessen,
Pa., during the ateel . strike,, are
analyzed. These reports. It is stat
ed, were furnished to thec'ommiS'
sion along with blacklists, etc, by
the steel company which hfred the
spies, from; labor detecnrei, agen
cies and elsewhere. The spies, it
is asserted, mixed with the strik
ors or held Jobs inside the plant
dressed as workers.
Strikers Discouraged.
"The Corporations Auxiliary
Company," says the commission's
summary of its report.' "professed
to have 600 such operatives at
work in the steel strike and the
Concern's Pittsburgh manager told
the investigator that many of
these were inside the unions, fre
quently as officers. Their duties
were to break the morale of the
strikers."
: The ! commission charged that
the "under--covr men" circulated
ftrlke-blreaking tumors and quot
ed at length extract's from their
reports purporting to show the
"general unreliability and worth
leasness"; of their ' records.
' "System tVIlrprad.
' The p investigation of the spy
eystem, says the commission, "was
extended to other towns in the
Pittsburgh region and then to the
Chicago-Gary district; ramifica
tions leadhJ? to OHifc. "WashiftRton,
New York wre followed and data
collected including original docu
ments from the spy-strike-breaking
companies, interviews with
the managers of two spy flrnis! af
fidavits and court documents."
1 Documents are quoted to sbow
tnat. Uie "under-cover men wer
Inside tbe unions and that the
manager of one agency had boast
ed that we expect eventually to
control the unions which have fall
en into radical hands in the last
few years." This same manager
isquoiea as accianng tnat a
member of the steel strike na
tional committee was their man.'
AffidaTit Presented.
' The commission presented the
detailed affidavit of an operative
who worked for several years in
side Chicago unions, stirrinf
up strikes and then breaking the
strikes. Many manufacturing
plants are named and an attempt
to swing a union election is de
tailed.

declared, was indicted for con
spiracies and Intent "to create
riots. Insurrection and murder."
In Wheeling, in the past month,

Thd commission closes its re
port with details of its futile ef
forts Jo present to Chairman E.
II. Gary ot the United States Steel
corporation a plan looking for
media(tion of the strike. Letters
to and. from Mr. Gary are cited.
A chapter also details the history
of the commission's efforts to ob
tain' government action on its
steel report recommendations
and indicates that a widespread;
popular support for the recom
mendations has been largely
thwarted so far as visible reforms
