STEEL LEADER

WILL WIN WAR
Chief Of Bethlehem Steel
Works Says Workmen
Main Essential.

You can commander a working
man, but you can't make him work" !"
That maxim was given the Senate
Commerce Committee, investigating
the shipping situation. yesterday. by
j. w. Powell, one Of Charles Schwabs
young men, without a gray hair,
and his face still boyish. Powell IL
actual head OF the Bethlehem Ship
building Corporation. Ltd, with a
half-dozen plants on both coasts
. the worlds biggest shipbuilding con-
Germ.
Powell declared, because of the
labor situation, II would be all but
miraculous IL America built 100000
tons OF shipping in 1913. as against
an oficial estimate Of 100000 by the
shipping Board. Powell banged the
committee table vigorously as he gave
his views on labor. the crux, the
keystone. the heart and soul of the
whole situation
Men VIII Win War.
< I have heard Mr.. Garfield say coal
VIII win the war" he said; Mr..
Hoover, food; Mr.. Daniels. the navy.
Here's what will win the war:
''MeDI

would have to begin with me; put
me in uniform; and follow with every
man in the yard Now 1 know that's
wrong. A working man who doesn't
want to work won't produce much
labor
'Laboring men now are where they
think-ard they arp about right-that
they can get Whatever they want. "
Senator Harding-"Do you sug-
gest more firmness?"
Powell-"Absolutel Let the
government fix a good, fair. rate
and let it be known that won't be
changed for six months"
Senator Martin-"we're at war:
we can't AFFORD risking delay"
Powell-"You don't settle the
problem by yielding; you .aecumu-
late more problems"
Senator Martin-"we can't AFFORD
rpn"
Powell-"And you can't get much
work out OF men who are thinking
OF nothing but more pay. They
know if they raise a little trouble
they'll get the raise. So what do
Sthey do? Naturally, raise trouble" I"
Powell declared President Wilson,
and all officialdom down the line,
should unite in pressing home to
laborers that they were the real
pyramid-base of the war.
On Concrete ships.
The situation is simply this" he
said Last year 1 estimated that
il We turned out 1.25O,OOO tons dead
weight, we would have done a re-
markable task. think we did a
trifle less than that. Three million
tons this year would be a wonder

Senator Johnson-"Two and one
half million probably closer?"
Powell-'No. 1 think. labor will

Senator Harding-"What do you
think Of the concrete ship?"
POwell-'WelI. I've seen concrete
crack. Ever think of that sort of
happening while you were out in
the middle of the ocean,"
- Senator RandaIl-"But you think
them worth trying?"
Powell-''Yes, yes, yes! Try every
thing. A thorough test Don't over

:. Powell concluded the working
mans spirit was only that of the

innovation a more popular scale of
prices would insure It's success. The

serve = need here II It were made
available for the vast number OF
people who want good music and who
cannot attend the afternoon recitals.
The two artists last evening re-
ceived recall after recall. and gra-
eiousiy added many eneores to their
program. Mime. Rappold Is an
operatic singer Of finished style, and
her two PuccinI arIas, one from

d'Arte" from AFosca." were artistic
and gave, much pleasure. OF her
songs in English, "The Slumber Song"
by GretchanInow and Hallett Gil
berte's 1.-TWO Roses" were particularly
lovely. The Bach-Gounod Ave

peated.
Miss Seydel Is q very gifted little
