parity in rates at this time is not JUS
titled. The exigencies justifying it's
creation have passed and its removal
will take away still another survival
from the war period-to-day serious
cause OF unrest among the workers.

The author then addressed himself
to the analysis OF the wages in the
iron and steel industry, which he says
is facing an interesting future. He
had carried his studies up to the point
when the disagreement between the
executives OF the steel companies and
the unions had developed.

munition industries. The war brought
to this industry the usual munitions
industry expansion that we have noted
in the previous studies. In terms of
gross tons of finished rolled steel and
its products, the national production
was about 23,000,000 tons in both 1919
and 1913, of which 2,500,000 tons were
exported. leaving about 20,500,000 tons
for strictly domestic consumption.
The war has left production capacity
In excess of 35,000,000 tons. Little
prospect is there that non-steel pro-
ducing countries will absorb the To-
100000 tons excess over the normal
national demand. II the steel industry
is to be under the pressure of an
effective demand In the future 1t must

increase in numbers of approximately
2S5,00 in one year.
THE 2S5,000 men who were added to
the shipbuilding rolls OF 1917-1S were
in large part green" and inexperi-
enced. The general decline in the
building activity and In specialized ma
chine manufacture released thousands
of workers who could be adapted to
shipbuilding without a great deal of
preparation. But on the whole large
share of the 2S5.O00 new recruits in
the industry were inexperienced and
not acquainted with the work they had
assumed-in truth, 1918 models as
they were called, in more senses than
one.
THE Shipbuilding Labor Adjustment
Board-the Macy Board as it was com
monty called, after the name of its
chaIrman-in August, 1917, was con-
stituted the Adjustment Agency OF the
Emergency Fleet Corporation when
disputes arose concerning wages, hours
or conditions of labor. The Navy De-
partment soon after decided to intro
duce the Boards awards into all Of
the navy yards.
Board Considered Living Cost.
"In settling disputes in any plant the
board was directed to consider in
creases in the cost of living as the
basis for altering wage rates. A
second principle was to adjust wages

have already taken steps to elevate
the position OF the worker and place
him on more congenial terms with his
employer, but other mill owners are
travelling or will travel in the same
direction. This is the trend OF the
labor development of greatest signifi-
canoe to the steel industry.
THE steel workers are fighting for
the right to join a labor union. to or
ganize unions where they do not ex-
list and to gain the recognition of the
employer when they are organized.
This right tho United States Steel Cor
poration through it's chairman, Mr..
Gary, denies. 1t is an anomaly, yet
1t is true, that the steel workers in
the past have been poorly organized,
being limited practically to the brick
layers, carpenters, machinists and
steamfitters who were employed In the
blast furnaces and the steel mills. The
struggle over the unionization of the
steel trade is older than the United
States Steel Corporation. When that
corporation was formed the agreement
with its subsidiaries left the labor pol
icy in the hands of the component
companies. In consequence they did
not change their open shop policy in

called for in the future II will be
absorbed In these industries.
"The labor situation at this time
requires even closer review. A new
spirit has been dawning In the Amer
ican steel industry. The war expe-
rience has brought a spirit of far
deeper significance than utmost in
terest in increased tonnage, improved
technique In manufacture or a higher
grade product. 1t Is the betterment
of the man and his conditions of work
that is commanding the attention Of
the forward looking steel manufac-
turer.

a man high in the ranks of one of the
nations greatest steel companies is

hour day is not yet extinct in the steel
mills. The Bessemer converters enjoy
an eight hour Gay, but most other de-
partments do not. No one acquainted
with the conditions to-day will defend a
twelve hour day in the steel industry.
Long hours in the steel mills can be
shown to be dehumanizlng TO the
workers These workers off duty have
only time for rest-no time with the
families, no time for association with
their fellows and no time for growth.
Long hours may be an antdote for
agitation now, but what are its conse-
uuences for the future? Could the
reader have surveyed in Pittsburg on
September 22 the memorial parade OF
80, 900 persons, young and old, repre-
senting more than 100000 Polish peo-
pie in western Pennsylvania, and 5000

whom were averred fighters wearing

means of modern transportation are
gone-the locomotive, the steamship,

Mr. Blakey then demonstrated that
the gigantic task imposed upon the
nation greatly expanded the machine
shops OF the country and brought into
them not only skilled mechanics from
other industries but also many thou
sands of men and about 1000 women
who had had little or no experience
along these lines. Many of those en-
gagged in the metal and machine trades
were transferred to the shipyards,
where every effort was made to meet
the unprecedented need for vessels in
which to carry food, materials and
men from America to Europe.
The figures of the economist show
that he was we'll justified In his con-
clusion that the shipyard workers thus
impressed into the service benefited
more largely by the necessities of war
than did the workers in any other oc-
cupations.
Failed Only Once.
In only one case, as is demonstrated
by curve plotted from his study, did
the real wages fail more than to meet
the enhanced cost Of living.
That class of workers known as the
bolters-up, for instance, received in
| 1918 an increase of 1886 per cent. in
money wages or Of 4s.s per cent. in
real wages.
He divided the shipyard workers
into three districts, the eastern. south
ern and western.
The riveters, who were credited with
making the top notch wages during
the war, showed a gain in 1918 over
the basic hourly rates of 1918 of 1898
per cent, or an increase in real wages
OF 807 per cent, in the eastern dis
trict. The riveters of the South made
a gain OF 207.5 per cent. in money
wages and of 1855 per cent. after the
increased cost of living was considered
In the West the actual wages earned
by the riveters exceeded those of 1913
ty IT'S per cent, which meant a gain
in real wages of per cent.
BY consulting the tables prepared
by Mr.. Blakey 1t will be found that
the only class OF shipyard employees
whose earnings were below the
new scale of living were the ma
chinists in the Western yards. who
had fallen off 9.5 per cent. in the real
wages scale. They were, however
only a very small group and the per-
centage OF increase on hourly wages
throughout the industry seldom fell
below 100 per cent. and often reached
from 100 to more than 200 per cent
Various factors brought about this
tremendous gain by the workers, as
outlined by Mr.. Blakey.

enormously. BY october l, 1918, less

The position of Charles NJ. Schwab

contrast IS most impressing The
issues in the present struggle are too
clearly drawn to forbear comment.

parent corporation. The Homestead
strike Of 1892 and an aggressive antag-
onism to unions since that time have
been in truth the death blows to the
steel union idea
'The general demands of the steel
workers are for the right of collective
bargaining, reinstatement of all men
discharged for union activities, with
pay for lost time, the eight hour day,
one days rest In seven, the abolition
of twenty-four hour shifts. an increase

steel Workers Wages.
"The wages OF the iron and steel
workers have been increased enor-
mously during the war. The mold cap
pers in the Bessemer converters are
to-day receiving 1912 for the 800 they
received In 1914, enjoying in this way
complete change in the standard of
living. Thus 1t is seen real wages
have advanced nearly 11o per cent.
This extreme case, however is the
most disagreeable position In the
whole series of sixteen crafts-the
heat of the converter is too intense
for most men. Wages then will play
slight role in the present struggle.
