ANXIETY IN RICHMOND

Drawn conflict between the "closed
chop" and the "oren shop" threat
ms to engulf Richmond within the
next week, bringing with it a sud-
den halt to the widespread building
onerations with which city actively
and in 5uoyart hope entered the
reconstruction period. Organized
labor, through the Building Trades
Council, has served its ultimatum
trat no man may work at the build

carries a union card. The penalty
# noncompliance on the part of the
contractors will be a strike, with It's

HIGH WAGES, LESS EFFICIENCY

Some Boston authority, em:nert, no
doubt, but lost to memory at the mo-
nient, issued a statement which, dsai-
ifg with labor production, took the
ground that efficiency, after all, was
the only accurate measure AMI wages
were negligible. If wages, for exam
PIE, increased 80 per cent. and eff
CLERGY increased so per cent, the
situation was vastly improved. This
is eXiomatic, of course. Then the au-
thority went on to assert, rather
than to prove, that labor efficiency
had enormously increased since the
beginning Of the war and there was
nothing but OPTIMISM to be spread
out for our delectatloa.
Unfortunately the facts are not all
in confederation of the efficiency as
sertion. In the steel industry, COM
morly said to be the barometer of ali
industry, the reverse has been as
serted. Reports by the several steel
concerns, unverified as fas as we ara
concerned, show that since the begin
rr:r,g Of the war steel wages have ad-
vanced an average of Ito per cent

THE STRIKE MENACE

An examination of reports as to
conditions at various steel mills
shows that the mobs and not the
strike order is what is making
trouble for them. With the gates OF
teh big plants stromed by violent
throngs, with men who want to
work assaulted and otherwise ter
rorized, and with the police over
borne, order and industry become
impossible, even when those VINO
adhere to them are in the majority.
AS the New York World says
"these are the forces which strikes
such as this always let loose. IN
spite of all fine words by leaders
who know precisely what to expect,
it is the persuasion of the bludgeon'
the missile or the revolver rather
than any cessation Of toll, upon
which the success of their revolt
depends. To quit work does not
suffice. The underlying theory OF
the strike is that nobody shall
work, and thus an enterprise, law
full at the start, quickly becomes
lawless and insurrectionary. 1t
must be that wrongs SO glaring and
so intolerable, amounting to civil
strife, are unnecessary among self
governing peoples. Liberty to quit
work in concert carries with it no
license to promote conspiracy anG
rebellion and no right to establish
the dictatorship of a class. Gov
eminent which cannot or will not
meet this issue at the Threshold
can never be secure"
A writer in Baltimore paper ir
teh above connection says:
"The question resolves itself into
this one: Does the American work
man owe greater allegiance to his
Government. as also to the corpora
ton with which he has contracted.
or to a union? Is his pledged wore
to be treated as "scrap of paper

Must Pay School Taxes

Delaware has a law requiring men
to pay school taxes regardless of
having property.
Newport school commissioners have
made up their minds that school taxes
must be paid, and they put the tax bills
in the hands of Constable Marshal
Rambo for collection.
Rambo laid attachments against
wages in several cases and some men
who went to get their pay found re-
ceipted tax bills in their pay envel-
opes. Employers have taken the cash
to settle the tax bills and comply with
the attachment.
Such a law would be good in New

Big Shipping Program.

The necessities of the war compel
led us to engage in a tremendous
shipbuilding program. We have q
very large tonnage now af1oat and
more ships under construction o
merchant purposes than any other
country in the world.
We have, therefore. already provid-
ed the three great elements necessary
for the development of a foreign
trade, and when we get u domestic
industries into proper operation, and
our business men begin to look abroad
for a market for the surplus products.
they will find the means of vitaliZing
these agencies that are already in
existence.
So that our problem resolves iself,
for the time being, into one of de-
mobilization, and the starting of our
business on a postwar bass.
II has been stated by statistical ex-
perts that even during our periods OF
Industrial activity we had in the
ne~ighborhOod of a million workers un-
employed.
We estimate the total amount of
unemployment at the present time is
100000. That, in itself, based upon
our experiences of the past, is not an
alarming amount Of unemployment.
The cause for alarm, if any there be,
is the fact that the number is con-
t~inually increasing. because the men
who are engaged in industry find
themselves in an uncertain situation.
There is a disposition to hold off on
the part of the employers in the hope
of prices coming down. There is a
possibility Of prices coming down
without there being an effect upon
the wage rates. The manufacturer
realizes that if he undertakes to cut
prices and his neighbor does likewise.
there is a possibility of the whole
structure tumbling and the prices 60
ing down below even a normal profit.

real wages than they had ever receiv-

of living had gone up. hut the hourly
wage rate of the workers had gone
up almost in the same ratio. There
were some instances where the hourly
wage rate had gone up in excess of
the increased cost of living: there
were other instances where it did not
go up quite as far as the cost of liv-
ing, but the average was very close
to the increase in the cost of living.
However, the workers had steadier
employment then they had been in the
habit of receiving; they worked over
time with time and a half for the ex-
ira time they worked, and they work
Sundays, in many instances. So the
aggregate they received was greater
than they had ever had before. Many
of them have some of that in reserve
