Description:Excerpt from United States Steel Corporation, Vol. 50: Hearings Before the Committee on Investigation of United States Steel Corporation, House of Representatives, Wednesday, February 14, 1912 The committee this day met, Hon. Augustus O. Stanley (chairman) presiding. Statement Of Mr. Percival Roberts, Jr. Mr. Roberts was duly sworn by the chairman. The Chairman. I understand, Mr. Roberts, that you desire to make a statement touching the labor conditions in the United States Steel Corporation; and the committee will be very glad to hear from you. Mr. Roberts. Mr. Chairman, it has seemed advisable, apparently, from some testimony which has recently been given before the committee, that the corporation should present its side of the case, and at a director of that corporation, I have been asked to tell you what I know of it. I regret very much that I have had little experience in public speaking, and my statement may. therefore, be much more disjointed than it otherwise would be. Ii later on, however, there are any questions which any members of the committee wish to ask me, I snail be very glad indeed to answer them in detail. The Chairman. You prefer, then, I assume, to make your statement at the present time without being interrupted% Mr. Roberts. I should think that would be best, Mr. Chairman, if it is agreeable to the committee. Then I can answer, in detail, any questions which may arise. The Chairman. Very well. Proceed. Mr. Roberts. That you may have some judgment as to the value of any testimony that I may give, I might say that I entered what was then an iron works at the age of 19, in the year 1876; that I commenced as an office boy, and worked through the various departments of the works, afterwards becoming general manager and later president of the company. I have boarded in the families of iron workers. I have kept house as a bachelor in a four-room workman's house, among Polanders and people of other nationalities, until the year 1900. Up to that time I probably might say that I was daily in direct contact with the worlmen in the works; and after the year 1900, of course, I have not been so closely identified with them. My knowledge since that time has come largely through reports, statistics, from the men in direct charge of the works.
