assessed by the committee against
labor. good deal of 1t Is in GER,
tain industries in which the proper
relations between management and
labor do not exist, and I believe
that IL we can improve our indus
trial relations, a large part Of these
restrictions will disappear. What
We need Is education, not only for
the Iaboring man. but also for the
manager. We need a better un-
derstading Of economics and It is
necessary for us to remember that
basicly everybody in the country Is
paid for his services. be they men
tai or physical. with goods and
not with money.
Money Is but the medium of ex-
change. 1t goes without saying
that the more consumable goods we
can produce with the same amount
OF labor the more there Is In the
general pot for distribution among
the producers.
"Of course. our system of pro-
duction and distribution IL not per-
feet, but it is improving from year
to year. and. as Prof. Seligman, of
Columbia University, said in a re-
cent discussion. while the capital
istic system of production 10 by no
means perfect. It contains within
itself the opportun ties Of its own
evolution.
-Four Cause of Waste.
AS you will see from the report,
the causes Of waste may be gener-
ally CLASSIFIED under the heads of
% low production. (2) interrupted
product on, go restricted produc-
tion and 60 lost production. Low
production is caused by faulty ma
terial control. faflty design control.
faulty production control, lack Of
cost control. lack OF research, fauI-
ty labor control, ineffective work
manship and faulty sales policies.
Interrupted production Is caused by
idle men, idle material and idle
plants. Restricted production comes
about either by restrictions of the
owners or management or by labor.
Lost production largely due to
i'll health. physical defects and ac-
cidents.
The report suggests many II
the remedies which are applica BILE,
and the recent conference on un-
employment makes stIll further
suggest ons toward correcting in
terrupted production due to Idle
men. Probably of all things this
Is the most vital. 1t is unfortunate
that in every country Ike the
United States we should have idle
men when We have such rich re-
sources and such demands for nm
ished goods. A large portion Of
this unemployment is due to booms
and depress ons. and. while we do
not thoroughly understand the
rauses OF these cycles. we are get
ting nearer and nearerto the truth.
and ! believe that We can look for
ward to time when the peaks and
valleys will be nearly leveled out.
The one thing. to my mind, that
stands in the way is psychology
cal one. and that is that when we
are in a boom period we fail to
realize 1t. imagine conditions are
normal. and that the real boom II
ahead OF us. It Is only a few far
sighted and sound-thinking men
who realize tho actual cond tion. 1t
is incumbent upon owners and
managers to study this question
thoroughly to see that Information
is collected and distributed and to
properly interpret It." he concludes.

Mir Willard frankly states that the company as we'll as the men lost money because of their differences.

SchaIl of Minnesota in 1ronic Speech to Congress On Bill to Curb Powers of Courts Also Shoots at Daugherty.

The real reasns behind the great coal and railroad strikes which for months have been exciting the coun- try and especially official Washington are perhaps never better portrayed than in an ironic speech before Con- gress just before it's adjournment made by Representative Schall of Minnesota while speaking on his bill intended to curb the power of the courts to issue injunctions against labor unions as intended under the Clayton Act. It IS in the form of a recital of a dream but it threatens to become a nightmare to Wall Street and the other interests seeking to crush Labor. It follows as taken from the Congressional Record:
 MT. Schall MT. Speaker, the coal miners have returned under exactly the same conditions as when they struck, yet with cost of production the . same, the price of coal at the mines is from three to four times the price called. Such a discrepancy shows clearly to those that will take the trouble to look behind the barrage the machinations that will be em ployed by the interruptions profteer to gouge the public.
 MT. Speaker, 1 had dream. Old Ben Johnson had been reading to Bill Shakespeare from the Literary Digest all about a political hero named Daugherty, who had houted both Congress and hte Constitution by re- fusing to invoke the Clayton anti trust laws against coal, oil, steel, and railroads, packer and other combines, while, on the other hand, he had used this same antitrust act to bring in functions against labor organizations which Congress had declared legal; and that in overruling both Congress and the Constitution this hero, whose given name was Harry, in order to make thorough job of knocking out 25o labor unions, which had the o. K. of Congress, had ordered out $500 marsha1s and deputies, at a cost of million dollars, and isued a call for 10000 more.
 At which Bill Shakespeare made this comment:
 q am tempted to inquire, as I did upon another occasion 300 years ago, Upon what meat has this our Caesar fed that he has suddenly become so greatP"

SO much of our melon in campaign times, run this job If they back and fill and back and fill, and keep it up long enough, keep this strike going for three or four months, we shall get our prices and our melons, So that was done until coal prices went up 100 per cent and to small buyers 300 and 400 per cent. Then finally steel prices begin to follow suit and begin to climb to a war basis. The coal strike Is then settled because no longere needed. But King Steel has only begun to get his and then trou- ble is started.
 "'It seems,' said Ben to Bill, there is a small bunch of railroads, mostly in the South and West, that King Steel and King Coal do not own or control and are not related to even as second cousins. And this bunch, getting tired of the backing and-flling tactics of the political bunch, started to settle the strike themselves without reference to the politicians by making satisfactory negotiations of their own with the bees.
 50 something had to be done, and that quickly King Steel and Wall otl CCI lCldlINSS pOlluSI tu HOSS DCS- hives had to be busted. There were 25o of them-some contract. Finally they found the solution-let Harry do it.
 "'So that said Ben to Bill, is how it comes that Harry is fouting Con- gress and the Constitution to kick over the 25o hives of working bees and calling out an army of 10000 marshals and deputies The strike hatreds must be kept up or the beans will be spilled by direct arrange ments between railroads and labor unions, and the unions will not be killed
 "Mr Speaker, in view of the official statement of the honorable Senator from Indiana the actuality of the dream may be difficult to verify. The honorable Senator says that Caesar is fed another way, that he is simply fed up on section IS of the Clayton Act.
 That is why I have introduced an amendment (H. R. I2o22) to this sec ton I5"

CONGRESSMANS ''DREAM" SHOWS INSIDE REASONS FOR THE GREAT
 COAL AND RAILROAD STRIKES

"Wer," said Ben, "this is the story
 "There is fellow called King Coal in Pittsburgh and another called King Steel in Wall Street They are very good friends, Coal having 25-year contract with Steel to furnish fuel at prices much below that which the public enjoys paying. Now, King Coal and King Steel have developed peculiar habit; their great indul- gence is melons in the form of divl- dends, and during the five years of the World War the habit became chronic. But in time of peace it is not so easy to find good dividend melons. So they cast about and de- cided that the next thing to war in making good steel and coal prices is strike; the strike curtails produc- which again produces melon divi- dends.
 King Steel said: I have another grievance. You know I still enjoy the good old 12-hour day of our grandfather, and there is a hive of bees called labor unions who have a new-fangled notion that an 8-hour day is enough Besides, they insist that part of my melon shall go into bee food
 King Coal said> Those same bees are sthging us. They don't like it because I take so much of their honey to sweeten my melons. Now, you can see, I have to have pelnty of melon, because l not only need melon dividends but have a whole Melon family for stockholders
 "Now, it happens" said Ben to Bill, that both Coal and Steel own railroads, or are owned by railroads, or have railroads for brothers, cous ins uncle, and, aunts. The railroads got their melon supply from the Gov- ernment in the shape of 40 to So per cent increase in rates. It was only fair play that these railroad relatives should turn in and help Coal and Steel get their melons. by shutting off coal and steel deliveries and thereby raising prices and producing melons.
 "So it was voted that the strike was the thing. That could easily be brought about-any little pretext, like contracting out shopwork in violation of the contract with labor unions and Government orders, or refusing to renew wage contracts with the bees for their honey supply, or raising a little question of seniority over the issue of which Is the oldest bee in the hive.
 "'Now,' they said, 'a1l we need to do is to let our political friends, those fellows for whom we had to subscribe

JUST THINK

There is nothing left to do but THINK under the drastic Daugherty injunction. He has covered everything a man can do "or otherwise in any man ner whatsoever" but JUST THINK.
 The railroad workers are en- joined from writing letters or other circulars. They are pre- vented from using telegrams and telephones. They are en- joined from talking. Conse- quently there is nothing left for Just think!
 Now, regardless of the fact that Daugherty has out-Czared the old Emperor of Russia and out-Kaisered the ex-Kaiser, and assuming that the workers obeyed the injunction to the letter, 1t would not be such a bad thing after all to just THINK.
 Thought is the most dynamic force in the world. If all the producing peoples would get to thinking and especially thinking along the same line nothing could prevent them from get ting economic freedom, indus trial justice and complete politi- cal control
 Just think, what would hap pen if the workers of the field and factory would think, They would build up their own news papers, their own press services and through these two institu- tions they would set everybody to thinking

 "Mr Gompers asserts that Amer ican labor helped depose military autocracy and now opposes an indus trial autocracy
 "FIis meaning seems to be that any statutory method for informing pub lie opinion of the merits of an indus trial dispute, and providing for la bor's compliance with impartial decis- ions, is a political means of reducing labor to slavery"
