Proheefing by Employers Capital Has

out case that he is not q protiteer.
Can there be any prohteering in
any circumstances when the govern
ment dictates its own terms, as it
caN and does with its commanders
ing powers, and then comes behind
with the cleaning excess profits tax?
Is prohtcering only an illusion? Who
shall say?
But real or unreal. existent or
non-eNistent, the present Vituation
Is that labor is deeply and univcr-
sally convinced that war work is q
saturnalia Of prohteering. This
conviction is especially deep-seated
and persistent in regard to ship
building. 1t has bred a feeling
throughout that industry that ship
building is grab game, with
wealthy Uncle Sam holding and re-
plenishing the bag.

Labor Did Not
Realize Change

BY the time labor was rushing for
lts share of the profits the feast
was over, and disappointed labor was
confronted with the taxpayer in
stead OF the speculator. 1t did not
realize the change. 1t had much
coming to it. but in the new circum-
stances it asked too much. Besides,
many things transpired to arouse
suspicion that in the haste to get
ships Uncle Sam was being exploited.
Promoters without credit or ship
yards and brokers with their Offices
IN their hats got contracts and
:armed them out.
Then Hog Island. with its sug-
eestive name, got into the spotlight.
the Ferris affair came out, the
Sloane contract was aired and the
atmosphere was filled with talk of
millions wasted here and tens of
millions there, Of millon-dolar fees
and eNtravagant salaries. of real
estate hold-ups, Of wastcful misman-
agement and costly misjudgment.
Labor was convinced that profiteer-
ing was running riot. 1t is still
convinced.
So, when everybody has agreed
that profiteering is taboo, there re-
mains the difficult task Of convinc-
ing labor that there is and will be
no proiiteering, even if it be possible
to define profteering. Will the en-
rloyer have to show his profit and
loss account to the employe? Is he
willing to do so?

TRoTTING ASSOCIATIONS MAY NOT AMALGAMATE
Uniting of National and American Trotting Association to Be Settled May 18.

New York, May 9.-Doubt whether the National and American sTrotting Associations would amalgamate at their joint meeting at Terre Haute, Ind, on May IS, was expressed by J. c. Welty, president of the National Association, at the close of a meeting of it's board of review here yesterday The National could not be expected to surrender it's charter he said and he questioned whether the American would care to resume it's former posi- tion as a subordinate to the national
 He said there was possibility that the national would. not hold meetings because of opposition by the auditor of Ohio, who. he said, was of the opin- ion that the money which Ohio paid to counties for encouraging fairs ought to be conserved for war purposes. MT. Welty suggested that the National Trotting Association might agree that winners of races be paid in liberty bonds or war savings stamps and that the receipts on one day of each county fair be devoted to the Red Cross.
