Then skilled artisans were apprehensve that there would be no employment for them or at least no steady employment Now MT. Butler thinks that the dlnger is not one of which skilled labor can be ap- prehensve, but instead the empl, yefs of skilled labor, because there will not be enough of this labor to make it possible to meet the great demanIs which will be made upon American industries
 In one of his informal chats, MT. But Ter said that sometimes his mind went back to the day when he was aus )ciale with the Mahoning Valley Iron associa- tion. At a meeting of the merabers of the association he said that he had an important matter to submit to it's con- sideration. There was, he said. man in Pittsburg who had gone into the iron and steel business. He was anxious to make purchases in Youngstown for ccmmodl- ties the cost of which would be abo 1t 5000. He asked for credit for much as that. The association hesitated about granting credit to this unknown man until MT. Butler at last said that he, himself, was disposed to guarantee the payment of the debt. Then the credit was granted and the man who asked for a credit of no more than 5000 was Andrew Carnegie of whom the members of tie association afterward heard much.
 The Tariff and Merchant Marine
 The commanding topic discus sed by members of the Manufa cturers' associe- ton was the necessity of establ,shirs $ ns soon as possible a merchant marine The need of this as soon as the war in Eu- rope ends will be powerfully felt bs Amer ican industries and the association wi.l conduct a campaign of education a,d asi- tation not so much for the purpose cf persuading the government to sponsor by
 its own capital the building of a merchant marine as to awaken the people t, the necessity of building and operating our own commerce bearers and of stimulating trade so that commerce bearers can at ways have full cargoes. The othtr topic discussed at this meeting was the tariff. There was no aggressive opinion r.soect- ing the need of recasting the tariff law, but it seemed to be the substa ntiaiy unanimous opinion that Congress wten it next meets should modify some of ,he present tariff schedules so that American industries will be better equipped for their undertakings than they have foui d it possible to be under the new tariff law.

Campbell possessed. Gradually not too rapidly, he inerea sed the business gain ing confidence of those who had capital to invest until at last he became the su- preme executive authority in an industry which is represented by some s3O, 900 GOO of capital and in it's particular field is one of the largest in the United States. It is an industry with which E. c. Con verse was identified before the corpor- ton of which he was the head became one of the subsidiaries of the United States Steel corporation. But there was a striki~g difference in the training to which MT. Converse submitted and the training self taught, with which MT. Campbell qualified himself for his successes. Mr. Converse began at the bottom in manufactory near Boston serving in the humblest ca pacity, stepping ahead slowly, but surely, until he became master of the manufac- ture of the commodity with which his name afterward was so prominently iden- tified. MT Campbell was trained to an- other vocation and was never fitted in the manner in which MT. Converse was for actual manufacturing work. But he was qualified for great executive direc- tion, revealed a fine gift for organization commanded gradually a large business, and at last was recognized one of the leaders in American industry.
 The government at Washington is new
 
 poraton chiefly the ground that it's organization constitutes it a monopoly or else gives 1t the power to stif1e colnp,- tition; yet the corporation with which ldr. Campbell is identified has in point of time been substantially identical with the life of the United States Steel corporal tic1 Certainly there has been no stihing of competition in the sense in which the gov ernment uses the term and this indcpend- ent corporation of Youngstown stands sub stantially upon equality far oppor- tunity is concerned with the subsidiary of the United States Steel corporation whose output is similar to that of the corporation of which MT. Campbell IS the head.
 What the Future Promises
 Not since the war in Europe began have there been heard in this city words of such promise as were voiced at the meeting of the Association of American Manufacturers. It found, perhaps It's strongest expression in the private con- versation between members wh. rein ex- change of views was made possible. One of the leaders in the steel and iron indus try of the United States, Joseph G. But Ter, Jr., of Youngstown, O., who took part in the meeting of the National Associa- tion of Manufacturers and also Tn tine annual meeting of the Iron and Steel in stitute, referred incidentally to ore of the features of the present-day situation which leads to the belief that MT. Butler is persuaded that the industry is ilnprov- ing and will continue to improve The industry, he said, is in some danger of finding itself embarra ssed through lack of skilled artisans. A year ago at this time the danger was of another kind.
