Washington, Sept 19 (United

Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 19. Labor 'i
challenge, and announcement of its in
tention to fight for democratization of
industry, made in a solemn letter ud
dressed to President Wilson, resounded
through the country today.
"No labor without representation,
is the slogan of the leaders of 24 unions
whose members are employed in the
steel industry, and who on Monday are
scheduled to walk out of the plants.
Their strike is to be continued until
heads of the steel companies consent fo
conference with the labor loaders, M
which the grievances of the men can be
discussed and adjusted. :
How effective the strike will be Is
entirely- bevorid aeema.ta forecast. The
steel corporation claims, that not more
than fifteen per cent of their employes
r.re organized. The labor leaders r.e
sert Judge Gary will be surprised at the
number of his men who are organized
and claim that, in addition to tins, non
union as well as union men will respond
to the strike call.
Leaders for every strike district had
been appointed arrangements for picket
ing have been made, and only Monday
is awaited to throw a large section of
the country into a titnritic industrial
struggle, as the labor leaders claim, or
reveal that the voice of the workers cs
expressed through the union heads Is
not the voice of the.maioritv.-
John Fitzpatrick, chairman of the
committee, and W. B. Rubin,' general
counsel, draw a distinct line between
"representation" and "participation
Rubins declares the fight is strictly for
democratization of the steel industry
through representations. This can be
gained only through organization and
recognition of such organization, per
mitting trained representatives of the
workers to speak for them, he asserts.
The leaders arc obviously prepared to
fight to the limit, and declare that the
spirit of the women would not permit of
