Conclusions, which are not so remote as they seem from the hunky in the steel towns, may be summed up as follows:
Causes of defeat, which were second in importance only to the fight waged by the Steel Corporation, lay in the organization and leadership, not so much of the strike itself, as of the American labor movement.
The immigrant steel worker was led to expect more of the twenty-four Internationals than they, through indiffer- ence, selfishness or narrow habit, were ready to give.
"Public opinion" cannot reasonably demand consideration or generosity from trade unions as long as trade unions are kept fighting for existence or for ordinary human rights, denied them under the sanction of "public opinion."
