Americans; second, a large number of foreigners, naturalized and unnaturalized; and. third, a minority ot unnaturalized foreigners who were those who went on strike." There is danger of their being a "misunderstanding" on the part of some of the workmen if the committee makes a trip to Pittsburgh, said Judge Gary.
