STEEL TRUSTS MONOPOLY
OF NATURAL RESOURCES


That the Steel trust has monop-
oily on steel production is due to it's
monopoly of natural resources Own
ing the source of raw material for
steel it can view with indifference all
efforts at trust batting, and continue
putting up the price of steel.
Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner
of corporations, under President Taft,
found the trusts chief asset to be its
ownership of ore lands and stated in
regard thereto:
"The industry itself rests physi-
cally on the ore. The corporation
based one-half of it's capitalization on
the ore The ore is Of primary
significance in the corporations DOM
nance, and in that resource chiefly
is involved the industry's problem of
public interest,"
Shortly after this report appeared
Charles M. Schwab confirmed Com
missioner Smiths statement in testi-
flying before a congressional commit
tee. He declared competition with
his concern to be impossible because
it owned the ore beds. and he added:
1T is not now possible, so far as
know, to get control of sufficient iron
ore and other raw materials to justify
the great expenditure necessary to
create large. modern steel works"
Being still further pressed as to
whether under any circumstances new
steel works could not be built in the

WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
PUBLICITY-NOT DYNAMITE.

Detroit Labor News: One thing must
be impressed upon the public, ana that
is that Organized Labor does not need
the use of dynamite to win strikes.
If at any time a daily newspaper
tells you in big headlines about the
dynamiting of some building, we want
you to know that this dynamite
affair was "hatcled' in the office of
some cheap detective agency, or in the
brain Of some 2x4 newspaper reporter,
who writes only what he is told to
write.
Publicity is the weapon that helps
win strikes. The proper kind of pub
licity and the proper solidarity of the
workers can whip into line the mean
est scab employer ever known.
Why are so mahy strikes temporar-
lily lost? Because the men who go on
strike have not the proper knowledge
Of trade unicnisn and do not under
stand the meaning Of working class
solidarity.
IAN ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure" The local union, all
of whose members read the labor
paper, which teaches them the princi-
pies of trade unionism, has a much
the union that has a membership who
are ignorant of the most simple prin-
ciples of trade unionism.
publicity is the force that rules
the world" not dynamite, and public
ity is the force that will rule the labor
movement.

south, he said:
Those owning the iron. orc there
could. Any others would have to
draw their ore from the few owners"
1t may, we'll have been the Steel
trust that Woodrow Wilson had in
mind, when in 1912, in a public ad-
dress at New York he denounced the
practice Of corporations buying ma
tural resources which they do not in
tend to use and can not use, but the
cost of which they, include in their
capitalization, on which to base
prices.
Now the Steel trust, having been
favored by the government with the
privilege of monopolizing the nations
iron ore, refuses to furnish steel at
the price fixed by the government.
That would seem rather unwise.
There is no good reason why the gov
eminent should not retaliate by i'm
posing a heavy land value tax on the
trusts ore holdings, compel it to leave
go and open the way to competition.
should not retaliate by imposing a
heavy land value tax on the trusts

But perhaps the trust does not
credit the present congress with the
will or knowledge to do that much ia
defense, of the public interest.

LIBERTY AND JUSTICE

Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
IN the strife Of truth and falsehood,
For the good or evil side:
Some great cause, Gods new Messiah
OFFERING: each the bloom or blight,
Md the choice goes by forever
Twixt that darkness and that light.
Then to side with turt!l is noble,
When we <.,are her wrctched crust,
Ere her. cau-e bring fame and profit,
And it's prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses,
While the coward stands aside
Till the multitude make virtue
OF the faith they had denied.
rho the cause of evil prosper,
Yet tits truth alone is strong;
Tho her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
;tHndeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch above His. own.

CONSUMPTION
TO THE LIMIT.
BY Job Hartman.

CONSUMPTION! What does it mean
to the rich, and what does it mean to
the poor? Shall the rich be embalmed
in their riches with the blood of the
poor? Shall it call the worker and
leave the capitalist ? Shall it call man
and leave capital? What is there in
capital so sacred that it should not
be called to war? Shall we conscript
human lives and leave incomes and
inheritances? Does the country be-
long to property or to people? Shall
property be preserved by bonded in
debtedness, while the people are cast
into the trenches to rot? In the eyes
of war and death is one man better
than another? Does not death reduce
all men to a common privilege-the
tomb? Why, then, shall their privi-
lcge differ in life?
Conscription! Why not conscript
everybody and everything?
Conscript all natural resources, all
Industries, all capital, all incomes and
all ipheritances.
Conscript every human being.
Everybody cannot so. to war, but
everybody can do some useful thing.
Separate the rich from their wealth
and make people of them
Unite the people in a common life
In a life of mutual interest, and use
the power of wealth to protect that
life-and war will be no more.
War is born out of the struggle for
wealth, and war out of the hatred of
men.
CONSUMPTION Of everybody and
everything is the highway to. an early
peace and an enduring civiliza ton.

WANT MORATORIUM.

Detroit Federation of Labor has
gone on record in favor of establish
ing moratorium during the war for
the families of all enlisted ara
drafted men. The Detroit unionists
hope the movement will become ma
tional in scope. The moratorium
should effect all goods and chattels
which were contracted for on the in
stallment plan and have not been
paid for. In Europe it covered rents
as we'll. The argument is that those
who go away to war should not have
the little belongings of their families
swept away by creditors and their
wives and children perhaps evicted
by landlords. There is no argument
against the idea.

DEATH OF DANTE BARTON.

Railway Federationist: Dante Bar
ton, writer, investigator, publicist died
in New York city Saturday, Aug. 4,
after a short illness.
Dante Barton was best known as the
publicity agent of the committee on
industrial relations, a voluntary asso-
citation which was intended to advance
the adoption of the recommendations
made by the federal industrial rela-
tons commission.
He was one of the few newspaper
writer's who rebelled against the de-
mand of the business interests to con-
troll the editorial policies of leading
newspapers, and that seek, generally
successfully, to distort even the news
stories.
And because he refused to be so
controlled he had found it impossible
to express his uncensored ideas in the
general press of the country; the labor
unions and other forward looking
bodies of this country recognized their
interest to furnish him means of self
expression.
Dante Barton was closely associated
with Frank P. Walsh and others in
their Investigations and propaganda
that brought about the appointment of
the industrial relations commission.
During his useful life he has helped
to turn the light of public knowledge
on many purposely darkened places.
In his death we recognize a loss that
we can i'll afford. Too few are the
men who have seen and known and
refuse to prostitute their knowledge
and ideals to the masters Of the bread.
