STEEL BARONS
BOW TO BOARD
Bethlehem Plant Accepts
Taft Ruling in Labor
Dispute.

New York, Feb. 4-The Bethlehem
Steel Company has receded from its
former stand against the rulings of
the National War Labor Board and
agrees to accept collective bargaining
on the part of its employees. This an
nouncement was made here tonight
by the board.
The decision of the Bethlehem Com
pany to accept collective bargaining
is looked upon as n revolutionary ac-
ton that will have far reaching ef-
fects on the relationship of employer
and employe in the steel industry.
The communication to the board
which is signed by Paul d. Cravath.
chief counsel of the Bethlehem Steel
Company, is made public without COM
ment from the boapd or the members.
Board Lacked Power.
The National War Labor Board
was first called upon to adjust the
differences between the Bethlehem
Steel Company and its employees last
July when a strike was in progress.
Following the signing of the armis-
tice the company contended that it
was no longer subject to the recon-
mendations of the board. 1t was then
that former President Taft. joint
chairman of the labor board said he
wished the board had judicial power
that would permit him to enforce
common justice.
Bonus System the Cause.
The bonus system was said to have
caused the acute situation At the
Bethlehem plant
In closing the statement. Mr. Cra-
vath says: MY own conclusion. after
as much study as l have been able to
give the situation, is that it is to the
advantage of all concerned that the
management and the committees of
our employees heretofore elected un-
der your supervision should be given
a chance to work out their own con-
clUsiCn in their own way in a spirit of
mutual confidence and cooperation"

FREE PORTS AID
TO COMMERCE
Commissioner Costigan
Tells Of Advantages to
Business Men.

Free ports as an aid to foreign
commerce were discussed by Ed
ward p. Costigan of the United
States Tariff Commission at the
regular meeting of the Commercial
Club last night
Such restricted zones are now be-
ing advocated in Congress for the
ports of Philadelphia, New Orleans,
New York, san Francisco and the
Panama Canal with the approval of
commercial bodies of each of these
cities.
Hamburg and Copenhagen were
cited as foreign ports which had
established the free zone plan with
a consequent increase in their for
eign commerce that justified the
innovation.
Free Port Described.
4 free zone or port, the speaker
described as an isolated area where
goods could come and go without the
of tariff duties. Under the
plan raw materials could be received
and manufactured into finished prod
ucts and reshipped for export trade
without the imposition of customs
taxes, Should the finished product or
the raw material be taken from the
restricted zone into the United States
proper for trade purposes it would be
subject to existing duties.
Many Advantages.
ADVANTAGES of the plan were enum-
Grated, including elimination of the
delays caused by customs inspections
and the tying up of funds which were
later refunded for goods exported
from bonded warehouses where they
were manufactured. Under the pres
ent system those importing raw ma
teriaI for manufacture into goods to
be exported pay the full customs
duties and then have the amount re-
bated when the finished product is
out of the country.
The free port system was pointed
out as an aid to trans shipment rather
than as any material aid to manu-
facturers.
