INDUSTRIAL WAR
Battle of Capital and Labor
Holds All Attention
Today.
By BRoADAN WALL

New York. Sept 21.-Tomorrow
sees the opening Of a battle between
capital and labor that the financial
and investment world has known
for twenty years had to be fought
Both sides have been preparing for
it.
John Fitzpatrick. who is manag-
ing the strike, says conditions in
the steel trade are deplorable and
approach economic serfdom. Here
is a direct difference Of statement
by two authorities. proving that
one Of them is untruthfuL The
question Of veracity is involved as
much as any other one in this
strike. II the steel men are treat
ed as Judge Gary says they are
treated. they Will have no sympathy
from the public. II Mr.. Fitzpatrick
is telling the truth. public displea-
sure will speedily crystalline against
the steel corporation. for it will be
guilty of hypocrisy Of the most
shameful kind.
Students of business affairs have
full confidence in Judge Gary. In
the financial district there is no
secret evasion of mind in the ex-
preston OF confidence that he will
come out OF the struggle fully vim
dicated. But il will take an actual
strike to prove the case. 1t is ex-
pected that from Is to 20 per cent
OF the steel men will obey the strike
order as issued
But whether there is a substantial
strike OF not. the steel corporation
intends to fight it out.
Regardless Of the merits Of the
case. this threat of a steel strike
is a very serious matter either for
good or bad.
II the IaNor problem can be set
tied without too much fighting the
investment situation will be found
in very strong condition The
margin Of profts is large in most
industries. The necessities OF the
world are 50 great that there must
be a big production for two OF three
years to restore stocks OF merchan-
disc to the level esta blished before
the war. That means several years
of large earnings and comparative
safety for persons who purchase
stocks at the present prices. 1t
is a fact easily demonstrated by
annual reports that very few in
dustriaI stocks have sold at prices
that would be justified by their
earnings.

"Just prior to the armistice a
shipment qf 10000 cubic feet of
helium was sent by our Govern
ment to Europe. The problem of
an ample supply of helium has,
therefore, been virtually solved
by American energy and resOur-
cefulness. This shipment was
made in a relatively brief period
after contracts were made for it's
production.
"The high military value of
helium was recognized by the
Allies i'll the early stages of the
war, but it was not until the
United States began hOstilities
that methods for obtaining the
gas in serviceable quantities
could be devised. Helium is a
component of natural gases, and
the quality of the richest helium-
bearing gases which the British
used for their early experiments
was relatively very poor, having
only One-third of l per cent OF
, helium.
"Prior investigation indicated,
however, that there were in this
country deposits of natural gases
far richer than any in British
Empire. Hence, when we enter
ed the war, our Government was
promptly advised by the British
as to the great Importance of
securing with all dispatch an
ample supply of the gas.
"When the War and Navy De.
partments first allotted funds fol
experimental work the Bureau OF
Mines decided to design its own
apparatus for production. This
caused so much delay that after

(From "The New York Times") J
I WashingtOn.-Some of the Sc
crets regarding the production OF
helium, the non-inflammable bal
loon gas which developed and
produced in considerable quanti-
ties during the war, were disclOs-
ed tonight by Franklin d. Roose-
velt, Acting Secretary of the
Navy, when he issued state
ment based ON a memorandum
prepareds by the Bureau of
Steam Engineering.
"If the war was lasted until
Spring, said Mr.. Roosevelt, "the
British and American Govern
ments would have sent helium-
filed rigid airships over strate-
gic points in Germany, each cap
able of dropping a total Of ten
tons or more of high explosives,
either in a single tremendous dis
charge or a number of smaller
ones during it's passage Over' a
fortress or city. These airships
would have carried batteries
amply sufficient to repel airplane
attack"
Mr.. Roosevelt stated that the
success won in producing helium
has resulted in the War and Ma
Ivy Departments allOtting funds
for the production of the gas on
a large scale for the use of the
military and naval service. 1t is
expected the plant will be in
