the hearing of the building trades in
New York, the other day. declared
that his corporation would absolutely
refuse to supply steel to contractors
who would not agree to erect it on the
open shop basis. This declaration was
understood to mean that the directors
of this great source of steel supply
had virtually decided to sacrifice all
public and private interests having to
do with the construction of buildings.
IL this sacrifice could be effective in
preventing organized labor anywhere
from winning its fight for the closed
union shop. The court. as well as the
public. probably will take the view
that what is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander.

Tia supreme court decision in the
Duplex printing press case is likely to
bear directly upon the open shop
struggle, upon which the forces of Ia
Dor and capital now appear to be en-
tering, in the view of the Christian
Science Monitor. In so far as organ
lied labor has had purpose TO stand
for the closed union shop, 1t has prob
ably intended to make that stand
largely thru the medium of the very
sort of strikes and boycotts which the
supreme court has now denied to it.
And this denial acquires interest just
at this time. the Monitor points out,
because of the essential similarity of
the prescribed activities of the labor
unions with those activities which
leading steel interests of the country
have recently upheld as a means of
carrying on their side of the open
shop contest. The representative of

Senator Harding insistence on a

the fact is loudly heralded. But there
are opportunities, usually overlooked,

THE HAPPY MAN.
By EDGAR A

If you would know a happy man,
Go find the fellow who
Has had 4 bout with trouble grim
And just came smiling thru.
The load is off his shoulders now,
Where yesterday he frowned
And swore there was no joy in life,
He laughs his way around.
He's done the very thing he thought
That he could never do,
His sun is shining high today
And all his skies are blue.
He's stronger than he was before,
Should trouble come anew,
He'll know now much his strength can bear
And how much he can do.
Today he has the right to smile,
And he may gayly sing,
For he has conquered where he feared
To come to failures sting.
Comparison las taught him. too,
The sweetest joys are those
Which follow in the heels of care
To free us from our woes.
II you wonld meet a happy man,
Go find The fellow who
Has had a bout with trouble grim
And Just come smiling thru.

PRICE FIXING.

A bill proposing federal regulation
for the coal industry and empowering
the president to fix prices and profits
in case of emergency or shortage has
been introduced by Chairman Calder
of the senate committee investigating
the 1920 coal shortage. A defect in q
government price regulation scheme is
that it attempts to limit the profits a
dealer may make, without guarantee
ing him against losses.
Recently we have had an illustra-
ton of this in the predicament of SUI
gar dealers, who. under the price con-
troll system, were limited to an ad-
vance of one cent pound on sugar
sold at wholesale. That was appar-
emily a sufficient advance to enable
the wholesaler to cover expenses and
make a reasonable profit. 1t is cur
rently reported that some dealers
made an unlawful profit by putting
the sugar thru one or more fictitious
transfers, adding a cent a pound each
time.
But 1t appears that there were large
numbers of wholesalers who tried to
comply with the law and who made
contracts for sugar to meet the future
demands of their regular customers.
They bought on an ascending market,
and were limited to g. profit of one
cent per pound. Then came the
slump. Wholesalers who had tried to
protect their customers found them
selves with sugar which would not sell
even at the original purchase price.
On the contrary, the sugar found no
buyers at a decline of many cents per
pound. The wholesalers turned to
government regulations in vain. In
conjunction with the provisions which
prevented them from making unrea-
sonab BILE profits, they could find no pro
vision to guard them against unrea-
sonaHle losses.
The predicament of the sugar
wholesalers is a subject that probably
will not occasion worry to many minds
and yet it emphasizes economic
truths which the American people
should not ignore.
There are some who condemn the
recently enacted railroad bill which
attempts to allow the railroads to earn
a larger but restricted and guarded in
come. Old prejudices cause them to
look with disfavor upon anything that
helps the railroads. The fact is that
for many years the government has
been limiting railroad earnings and
profits, and, if it is to deal fairly and
to the best interests of the nation and
it's industries, must assume the re-
sponsibility of affording the roads an
opportunity to make a reasonable
profit above actual expenses.

thrift WEEK.

The week beginning January IT will
be Thrift Week. turnout the coun-
try. Among the many benefits from
thrift may be enumerated the follow
ing:
A great reduction in individual cases
of suffering. There would be few
cases of suffering IL thrift had pre-
viously been practised.
Fewer objects of charity and great
ly lessened demand on charitable in
Fstitutions. Trace back each individ-
ual case of the need for charity and
see how far back you will have to go
until you find that in most cases it is
the result of a lack of thrift.
Thrift tends to make people con-
tented and industrious.
1t has been estimated that IL thrift
were generally practiced it would re-
duce crime by at least one-half
In an article on thrift published in

better morals, better citizenship. bet

perhaps attain the desired end more
quickly by working to make thrift uni

merchant in the world" During this

fact that at that time the government

more rice and save other food for the
