LOCAL INDUSTRIES IN
BIG CHEMICAL SHOW

Local chemical companies will be
represented at the National EXPOSE
ton of Chemical Industries to be
held in Grand Central Palace, New
York city, September Ills. Among
the four hundred firms which have
already contracted for space at the
exhibit is the Roessler and Hassla-
cher Chemica | Company of this
city, which will have a booth show
ing samples of the chemicals with
which they deal.
This years National Exposition
of Chemical Industries-the eighth
is expected to set a new high rec
ord both from the standpoint Of
number Of exhibits and attendance.
From a small beginning in 1915
when the exhibitors numbered 1873
and the attendance $4,000 the expo
sition has reached a peak when 1t
reached a total of 437 exhibitors and
was seen by 126,300 people.
A factor which promises we'll this
year is the improvement of condl-
tons in the chemical Industry.
Last September during the period of
the exposition the industry was in
the throes of depression. Prices
were at their lowest and the de-
mand for chemicals and chemical
equipment was practically nil Since
the first of the year conditions have
changed for the better and with
each month showing improvement
over the month previous, and with
the outlook decidedly brighter thar
il was at this time last year, conser-
vative estimates place the total ex-
hihi+s for 1922 at $50. Already 400
firms have contracted for space.

TEXAS OPEN PORT LAW
TESTED DURING STRIKE

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 2.-The Tex
as open port law, passed by the spe-
cial session of the Texas legislature
in 1920, is going through it's initial
trial as a result of the present rail-
road strike. Since the beginning OF
the strike, ten Texas railroad CEN
ters have been placed under the law
and are being policed by state ram
gers.
Texas is the only state in the ma
tion. according to state officials, that
has such a law. 1t was passed as a
result of the situation at Galveston
during the strike of longshoremen
in 1920. 1t is designed to empow-
er the governor of the state to take
complete charge of police activities
in any specified territory when com
merce is being interrupted. without
in oking martial law.
The Open Port statute had been
virtually forgotten until the present
strike. No attempt had been made
to invoke it's provisions or test its
constitutionality.
The effectiveness of the act, &C
cording to state officers, is made pos.
sible by the fact that before Texas
became a state, a system of state
rangers was established as the Off
cid' police organization. The normal
force before the strike was forty
seven. This number has been aug
mcrted and approximately $50 spe-
ciai rangers commissioned. These
police officials are stationed at rail-
road centers where open port law
has been invoked, and in more than
twenty other centers of strike &C
tivity.
Upon declaring open port law, the
governor assumes complete control
OF all police activities and state ram
named by which the governor
shall enforce the law violation is a
felony. Although the law has been
in force less than a month in any
Texas town. state officials declare
it is a decided success and is a great
financial saving to the state as COM
pared with material law action. In
the centers where the law has been
put in force, the railroads are vol
unfairly paying the cost of maintain
ing the state rangers.

How To Preuent Strikes
BY WILLARD E. ATKINS, M. A.
University of Chicago.

The outstanding need at the present time is for machinery O.
cancellation such as was suggested by the Industrial Conference of
March, 1920, together with more information as to the facts be-
meath the controversies.
Because Of the absence of machinery engaged in a constant
study of industry there are few people competent enough to step
in and act wisely in getting the opposing sides together, and be-
cause Of the absence of authoritative information the public has
little opportunity to arrive at a unanimity of opinion or to. ex-
press itself intcligently for settlement. Nothing short of a compre-
hensive and continuous fact-indng and factreporting agency is
sufficient.
At most, it is impossible for complete industrial peace. There
never has been or never will be such a state of affairs, since cap
ial and labor are both struggling for larger slices of the national
income. The strike, therefore, will continue until labor can find
some device which it believes will produce better results. Our aim
should be to reduce strikes to a minimum and not to forbid them.
There are those who believe in the adoption Of the principle of
the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations. l am not one of them.
Compulsion is a principle of limited usefulness, in any case, and
especially compusion by a court is not a device which tends
toward peace with labor. Applied in the industrial states of the
north and east, the Kansas principle might lead to increasing con-
tict, with the authority of the state openly defed by labor.

In so fundamental an industry as

their employees. And If my judgment
is correct, the coming years win wit

Capitalization of machinery for set

adoption of the sounder methods of

Our own road and its men have

Unions will continue to exist, and

rect bargaining between the separate
arrangements and their own men,
is, generally speaking, the correct
method.
Our employee representation plan
on the Pennsylvania system is pure
collective bargaining, and 1t is
reasonable to believe that this
method of wage adjustment, with
more personal relations between
management and working forces,
will in time gain broader acceptance
