STEEL DIRECTOR ON STAND
He Invites Committee to Visit

Washington, February l4.-Percival
Roberts. Jr., director of the United
States Steel Corporation, told the STAN
ley steel investigating committee to-
day. that his company would like to
see labor unions under the same gov
ernmental control corporations

to dispose of their labor just as men
combine to use capital. provided bota
arc under government control, and that
full liability Is imposed on labor
organizations for all their undertake
ings and that neither side has any
monopolistic tendencies.
Closed Shop Monopoly.
The difficulty with labor organiza-
tons is that their first requirement Is
shop, which Is n monopoly, and there
is no law in this country to prevent
the closed shop. Neither Is there sny
law providing liability upon labor
unions regarding contracts. The aver
age labor union Is In no sense an
American institution The idea is
imported and has no pace In the in
situations of this country"
Mr.. Roberts made an exception OF
railroad labor organizations which, he
said, were entirely different from tho
manufacturing organizations.
The committee was urged by Mr..
Roberts and D. y. Reed, counsel for
the Steel Corporation. to visit steel
plants and see actual labor conditions.
They declared that rhe committee
could get more Information In two days
OF inspection than it could In two
weaks of testimony.
Chairman Stanley said he approved
the idea. and would like TO have the

would pay their own expenses He
said the Investigation already had ccst

(OLORADO'S ROADS
BUILT BY (ONyI(TS

Massachusetts is justly proud of its
state roads, which are revelation to
visitors from other states; other New
England states have some, and New
Yrok is coming into line. These roads
have cost millions of dollars. Then we
travel westward across 1.500 miles of
thickly settled country with very few
all-the- year-good roads until we reach
Colorado, where the good-roads prob
lem is being demonstrated in way
which must sooner or later command
the attention of all tn eother states.
There 1000 miles of highway, ranking
with the best in the world, have al
ready been constructed entirely with
convict labor. And these good roads
have cost IA cents, which otherwise
would have cost 81. In other words,
the money which ordinarily would have
built one mile has, under the Colorado
system, built seven miles.
1t was my privilege last month to
listen to Thomas b. lyman, warden of
the Colorado penitentiary, who occas-
ionally finds time to leave home and
tell the intensely interesting story of
how he has solved the question, not
only of what to do with conviets, but
how to reform them at the same time.
He tells part of the story in moving
pictures, showing his men in citizen s
clothes busily at work drilling, blast
ing, blowing, hauling and surfacing; in
many cases, out in the mountains In
sparcely settle districts, with every
facility imaginable for escape. But
one looks in vain for the customary
guards with long-range rifle at com
mand. No guards, no shackles, no dis
tinctive garb, absolutely nothing to
distinguish the convicts from their
forman except that the foreman rides
horse. These men work in large
bodies, often several hundred; only
one barrier stands between them and
escape; and it is impossible for the
moving picture to show that barrier,
for it is mans honor. In fact, the
honor system was partly result of the
discovery that, to efficiently guard the
prisoners, the expense was equal to the
saving effected by their work, and
hence of no financial advantage. And
so the honor system was proposed AMID
plenty of predictions of failure and
very few of success.
During the past two years only one
man in 200 has run away; he is invari-
ably recaptured and must then serve
10 years within the prison walls
Colorado is about to nut all its county
iail prisoners under the penitentiary
board, when the jail prisoners will be
worked in the same way. The spirit
Of the Colorado system is unconscious
REFORM growing cut of the feeling
that some one has confidence in him.
The good roads they build and the
farms they work for their own support
are part of the means to the greater
