GARY WITH FOREMAN
UPHOLDS OPEN SHOP
Workmen Said to Hold Present
Conditions Are Best in Steel
Corporation.

Z. II. Gary. chairman Of the United
States Steel Corporation, gave out yes
terday copies of letter he had received
from former night foreman OF one OF
the subsidiary companies. The letter.
dated March 2, and signed by James X.
Patterson of Beaver Falls, Pa, read IN
part as follows:
"A few weeks ago / read report OF
the Interchurch Commission on the con-
ditions OF the steel industry. and being
night foreman in the National TUBE
Company. Elwood City. Pa, at that
time, and was up to three weeks ago,
when I was laid off. and thinking pos
sibly that YOU might be interested IN
what one of your employees might have
to say in regard to your plants, ! have
prepared statement. and have enclosed
same. herewith, giving my opinions or
the plants Of Your company"
The statement describes how the men
are employed the welfare work per-
formed by the corporation. including the
offers of stock, methods of sanitation
and the organizations for safety, but the
feature is the employees view OF the
closed or open shop. On this point the
statement said
without dispute any person has ms
or her rights and privileges. Every one
must be protected to the full limit OF
the laws, which are for the benefit OF all.
In fact, Article XIV. of the Constitution
OF the United States reads in part as
follows: Nor shall any State deprive
any person or persons OF life, liberty or
property without due process Of law.
1t is my belief that this settles the ques-
ton Of an open or closed shop but In
discussion Of this kind there should be
an admission that no one is without
fault and, knowing this, | have tried 10
form my opinion by interviewing fifty
English speaking employees In different
departments. and / received unanl-
nous opinion on the following, namely
That it was their belief that the organ
izer was the one mostly benefited and
that the cost was too great for all they
get in return, and that they would not
get as good results from closed shop
as the working conditions that are now
provided by the Steel Corporation, and
if the shop was closed the company
would leave the matter to the unions
for working conditions and they could
not come up to the standard that now
exists in the corporations plants. And,
finally, that the conditions are so far
superior in the open shop Of the United
States Steel Corporations plants they
could not find any reason OF anything
to gain in a closed shop"

Gus rate OF interest. and he said the
directors had believed they would be far
more kindly treated by their employees
IL aid was sought of them.
There was no hesitancy on the part
OF the employees TO respond to the plea
Of Mr. Boyce. Each person employed
by the company immediately pledged
loan Of $40 from his wages for four
consecutive pay days.
In speaking of the action of the COM
panies employees Mr.. Boyces said lie
had felt no trepidation in seeking tnan-
cia aid from them.
II felt that all would be glad to lend
aid when they learned that we could
hope for no assistance from bankers
and other financial institutions" he
said "Our employees always have been
literally treated and therefore con-
tented Their action to-day proves that
ii pays TO bear and forbear. And the
result is tho two companies can tide
over their financial difficulties and their
employees Will retain their employment
during these 'jobless' days"

ST. PAUL INDICATED.

BY United Press.
London. (By Mail).-Men trans
lated the Bible-and twisted st.
Paul's remarks about women to suit
their own ideas. That is divulged by
Miss X. Raleigh to the Women's
Freedom League.
The apostles remarks about
women, she said, were badly twisted
in translation and it could be proved
by the removal Of a few dots and
commas, that st. Paul did NOT:
Forbid women to preach; command
them to obey their husbands; insist
that for ever and aye, whatever the
fashion Of the country, they should
wear hats in church, say that they
should never wear jewelry and fine
clothes.
SIN the sentence Women obey
your husbands. said Miss Raleigh,

obey is be c%onsiderate to-"

fellow up in his country who has n
job carrying the mail from the depot
to the p~ostonlce, for all Of which he
gets 81 a trip.
Some Of the boys around the gro
Gerry store the other night got to kid

eventually, they asked him how much
he made out Of it.
81 make 81 a trip, three trips a day,
$125 a month, or $1,000 a year," he
said.
These figures not sounding just
right, one of the boys sought to pin
him down on his calculations.
How do you make $1,000 a Year,"
he asked.
"A-carryin' the mail" responded the
carrier, and with those few words he
departed.

suddenly. Shimmy, according to the
fire ladies, who hunted three days
without success for their vanished
pet, made her nest in a coil of hose
which is used to wash the floor Of
the fire hall. On the morn of SHIN

Shimmy was catapulted toward the
