Price Wars Result in
Losses to Akron Rubber

AKRON. Dec. Price wars in
tires during the past year have re-
suited in losses to the Akron Rub
ber Company of s2O.O0O,0O it was
declared here today.
Prosecuting began two years ago
when ii was said to be necessary
to move tires. But 90 per cent
of the small tire manufacturers are
continuing the war and give no
promise of stopping.
Objections were first made to the
cut of 90 per cent in November,
1921. when 1t was believed prices
were ready to go upward. The re-
duction of 10 per cent in August of
this year came when all producers
except those who started the cut
ting believed the time ripe for an
upward movement in tire prices
Sales volume of Akron Rubber
Company was s62 900 900 greater
last wear than this year. Unit pro-
duction last year. however. was 20
per cent lower.
The 3. F. Goodrich Company
probably will show profits Of 49,.
C00,000 for the year, after taxes,
with war and boom buildings all
in production. The .Firestone Tire
and Rubber Company is expected
to show profits of about 5000, 900
for the year.

President Grace and other
young executives. Thus the
stockholders will know whom
to hold responsible for results
in the future.
As the people living in de-
mocracies realize their powers
more and more they are likely
to become strict task masters.
What has happened in Greece
and what is happening in GER
tain other European countries
is, l believe, significant and
portentous.
The democratic reaction of
capital, of huge business enter
prise, is to bring similar re-
suits Whether q president of
q corporation shall be retained
in the future is not going to
be determined always and sole
ly by some capitalist or clique
of capitalists. The rank and
file of stockholders, plus public
opinion, are going to assert
themselves and decree whether
q man shall continue or cease
to retain his position and re-
sponsibilities.
Indeed, I believe that the
day is coming when the en-
ployes of business organiza-
tions are going to have at least
some voice in the selecting and
the dismissing Of the highest-up
executives.
] know a recent instance where
highly salaried executive was
ousted solely because the en-
ployes let it be known in no un-
certain tones that they could not
and would not do their best for
the company 30 long as he was
kept in power. This man was
held in the highest regard by
the wealthy man dominating the
company. But out he went.
Yes; all through life il is go
ing to be driven home to those
that acquire power that "as We
sow, so shall We reap" Power is
to carry with it former privi-
leges. 1t is to carry with it re-
sponsibilities. And with the
proper discharge of these re-
sponsibilities there is going to be
stricter holding to account.
All this 10 well. Many of
the worst woes the world has
ever known have been brought
about by incompetents holding
positions conferring abnormal
powers for the wise discharge Of
duties and the rank and file of
the people could demand no ac-
counting. In the future it is
going to be more dangerous for
any man to possess inordinate
power If he has not sufficient
brains to exercise that power in
a way accepted by the people as
necessary 10 them.

one, unless oil signs fail, for the hog
raisers who use the modern method OF
housing the sOws at narrowing time.
When the sows are In a warm, weath-
er-tight and well-ventilated house,
such as is shown In the accompanying
illustration, the loss Of young pigs Is
comparatively small. The losses occur
when the sows and pigs are kept
where a cold, damp spell chil,s them
and the youngsters have not yet gained
strength enough to withstand 1t.
The earlier spring pigs are far
rowed, the better start they have to-
ward maturity that will bring them In
to the market In the fall and early
winter. In such a house as the m
shown the sows are housed comfort
ably. The building prevents rain and
cold winds from getting at them; the
roof windows admit the sunlight that
prevents the interior from becoming
'clammy," and with plenty OF bedding
on the pen floors the young pigs are
kept warm and dry and thrive.
The house shown here Is what is
known as ii ~gable-roof hog barn. The
foundation and lower walls and the
floor of the building are of concrete,
while the upper part and roof are OF
frame construction. The pens are
ranged along the sides and the feed
alley runs through the center. There
is a roof window over each pen, which
admits the sunshine directly into the
pens and provides means Of ventila-
ton.
The floor plans show how the pens
are arranged and fitted for the comfort
Of the SOW and the pigs. On two
sides of each pen there are guard rails,
which permit the little pigs to get out
of the way when the mother lays down
and rolls her bulk toward them. This
