Only Way to Presently
Il would rather have my Beth
lehem steel plant running in full
than on the present, curtailed
schedule. So would the manage
ment Of the other industrial plants
throughout the country. Under
present conditions. however. this is
impossible. To bring about ma
tional prosperity the freight rates
MUST be reduced.
"The cause of the business de-
preston all revert back to the
cost OF producing. The fact re-
mains that the big factor in man
ufacturing is the cost Of labor.
For this reason, in the much
talked of return to normalcy.
i. labor must be the chief item to be
considered. We hear much talk
of the high cost Of materials and
supplies for manufacturing. This
has little bearing on the subject.
however. for the cost of supplies
is regulated mainly by the price
Of labor at the source of supply.
"At the present time no steel
mill in the country is being oper-
ated at profit, and in the face
Of the enormous losses being borne
by the capitalists. it is unfair to
say that the American laborer is
bearing the brunt Of the burden
in the period Of readjustment.
= An equally large part of the load
has fallen upon the shoulders Of
capital, These are times Of stress
, for the executives Of any. corpo-
ration. Production and sales have
,shrunk to the point where organ
izations must be reduced to
level where disorganization be-
gins-a very costly process.
Workers Make Mistake. -
"The groups Of workers who are
unwilling to accept reductions,
who seem to feel that the in
fiated wartime conditions can
continue forever. are sadly mis-
taken. In the most unsettled bus
mess period for eighty years. with
nearly 100 great corporations
listed on the New York Stock Ex-
, change suspended, dividends and
agricultural and Industrial prod
ucts. being sacrificed, It is mis-
take for the workman to refuse to
cooperate in making return to
safe. sound. economic standards. .
Corporations are commonly be-
lieved to have no souls. butsI know
that the oficers and directors Of

likely was the opinion ex-
pressed by Charles N.
Schwab,, president Of the Rethle-
hem Steel Company. in an inter
view granted the writer. -
Although the steel magnate .ex-
pressed his belief that America has
ahead Of it an. era Of unbounded
prosperity. the immediate future
does not give forth any promise
Of a revival in business or let-up

serted. Prospects for the coming
winter, he believes. are far from
being bright.
Responsibility for a great part
Of the present Industrial depres-

which the country has ever passed,
Mr.. schwab placed upon the rail-
roads in their failure to reduce
freight rates.

country must bring the cost Of
transportation down before the
present Industrial conditions can
be made much better. The railroad
rates are a big factor in determin-
ing Industrial conditions. For ,ex-
ample, some time before the war
pig iron at Bethlehem was selling
at $14 q ton. Now 1t costs $14 a
ton for freight alone.
Personal Initiative Lacking.
"The big trouble with the Ameri- .
can railroads under the present
system Is that they are unable to
put into their operations that per-
sonal initiative that means so
much to the success. Of any large
concern. In my Bethlehem plant
all salaries are supplemented by a
profit-sharing plan. The income
Of each employe il regulated, to
great extent. by the, earning power
of the plant. Thus there Is an In
centive to efficiency and maximum
plant production. The railroads
are unable to adopt this system.
All questions Of wages, rates and
other matters affecting the various
lines are regulated by a board of
supervision-Ia slow, slow process.
