In the steel corporation. where
there were few If any union work
men until the current unionizing
campaign. it is estimated that the
number OF employees now affiliated
with the unions does not exceed =
per cent. or about $4,000 out Of a
grand total Of 100000. leaving
something like $4,000 union men
among the Independent companies.

At the present time there are
considerably fewer men employed
by the steel companies owing 20 the
generally reduced operations I'm
most departments as compared
with war maximums. and 20 the
partial or complete suspension of
much ordnance and other strictly
war production being carried on in
the last year by many Of these con

At the present time the United
States Steel corporation. instead OF
employing an average OF 26S.710.
as il did a year ago. is employing
about 10000. or slightly over 10
per cent less. Were this average
reduction in working force 20 OBJ
tain througout the steel industry.
on the basis Of the $4,000 estimate
for 1915. there would now be en-

We notice that several other
towns are making preparations to
give the returning soldiers a big re-
ception. What are we going to do
for the boys? 1t is about time we
were beginning to make prepara-
tons for some kind of welcoming
reception for the boys who helped
perform one of the greatest feats of
the great war-the breaking of the
Hindenburg line, which was thought
by the Germans 70 be so strong that
no army could break it. Let us
hear from our readers as to what
they think would be an appropriate
way to welcome the boys home.
