of the manufacturer who secured I'M
passage which directly invited then
to violence. urging them to rise ir
arms and destroy the Industrial struc'
| ture from which they derived theii
livelihood, but by which, the circular
alleged, they were kept in slavery.
/ The contrast, occurring In connection
with the same Industrial establish
ment, between destruction urged from
beneath and cooperation opened from
above is n striking one. wish to
make IL perfectly clear that 1t was
not dissatisfied workmen In this plant
that urged violence but an attempt
OF others to lead them into revofu-
tionary paths The incident is pecul-
lar because of the effort. in two oppo-
site directions occurring at almost the
same time and in the same place.
The second talk to which reference
has been made was with manufac-
turer who also conducts industrial
plants in England and France. Hav-
ing recent occasion to inquire the
priceof what we should call Bessemer
pig iron. the figure quoted delivered
in eastern England was slightly over
Sal a ton; that offered for delivery
in central France slightly over $53;
that offered f. o. b. New York slightly
over $29. The contract with what we
have been accustomed to consider us
ual practice is again striking. 1t Is
perhaps of interest to add. In view of
the active part American industries
have in the past taken in protesting
against attempts to raise our trans
portation rates, that the same manu-
facturer of goods of the same kind
paws a rate from his English works
to London. 1913 miles, of 16 cents per
100 pounds, and from Buffalo to New
York, 45O miles. also n rate of IS
cents so that in this country the goods
were carried more than double the
distance at the same rate. 1t is, OF
course. perfectly well known to all
students of the subject that American
railway rates, even when increased,
are such as would be the envy of COM 1
peting manufacturers in other indus. |
trial countries.
1t is undoubtedly true that many of
our shippers have lacked that long
vision i'm their protests against freight
charges which they themselves try to
exercise in their own business. You
and I think 1t proper. indeed neces-
sary for ourselves that our factories
should charge prices sufficient TO
cover actual outlay for wages and ma
terial, plus the overhead charge, plus
what we think a necessary allowance
for depreciation and a reasonable pro-
fit fear too few among us have 1
been willing to allow for the same
in the making of freight
rates and have been inclined to dis
regard the urgent statements of WE'LL |
railroad officers TO the ef'
feet that rates were insufficient to
meet these necessary obligations. We
paid a high price for this viewpoint
In the fact that for years before the
war our railroads were unable to ada
to their IA ,ilities as they should have
done. and when the stress OF war came
upon them we suffered. II
