Why Can't Steel Be Honest?
Why can't steel interests be honest?

Why can't steel interests be honest?
Why must they always be saying one thing when they
mean another?
These queries flash through the mind of reader Of a
made by John A. Penton publisher of the Iron Trade
Review.
Mr.. Penton declares that by hiding its light under
bushel the steel industry is doing itself great injury
He adds:
The steel industry should Immediately give serious
thought national educational campaign of construc
tive character All that is necessary is TO tell the plain
truth simply and completely"
Mr.. Penton, publisher of an organ representing the
iron and steel interests knows perfectly well that steel
doesn't want publicity in the true meaning of the word
He knows that steel has done its best to explain away and
to suppress all publicity that tells what is actually going
on in the steel mills.
Of course what Mr. Penton actually means by pub
Lefty is propaganda for the steel interests He wants
steel TO spend great in painting the steel industry
humane public spirited and devoted to ideals of justice
and fairness He WatnS it to begin q vast "eduCatOnal
campaign in an attempt to correct its black record.
la his heart Mr.. Penton doubtless knows that the
only way steel regain the confidence of the nation is
for TO entirely change its tactics 1t not oppose
every improvement in working conditions as it long
opposed the ending Of the barbarous 12hour Workday
and it must agree to permit its employees to organize and
have say in the business to which they devote their
lives
Yet knowing all these things, Mr. Penton, with con
summate nerve urges more publicity for steel!
Which again brings up the question, "Why can't
steel be honest to which there appears to be only one
answer Its not in the nature of the beast
There's hope for steel, however, in large doses of
trade uni0nism which will shortly be administered and
which are expected to stimulate greatly steeIs truhte

dividends to stockholders and other
expenses that would not be necessary
under government ownership.
The state highway department pays
no dividends to stockholders, nor DOE
the Postofice department. Under
proper management both can be main
tanned upon an expense basis, but il
the stockholders were private IN
dividuals or corporations demanding
increased dividends in proportion to
the investment, both would run to
wreck and ruin, as did the railroads
under government control during the
war.
Government control is an unfortun-
ate probability, as the Tribune sug-
gests, if it is implied that stock
holders are to be paid a large per
cent of the earnings, but government
control under government ownership
is not an unfortunate probability"
At least it cannot be so defined until
it has been given a fair and impartial
trial.

business as illegal, as it did the liquor
traffic, and deliberately render value
less untold millions invested in the
liquor industry, can easily effect the
purchase of coal lands and operate
the coal industry without resorting
to illegal or dangerous procedure
And this can be done with little or no
ultimate expense or inconvenience to
the public, whereas the humiliation
of the liquor traffic cost the public
untold millions in increased taxes up
on other commodities to make up for
the loss of revenue, license and sale
Of grain in consideration for which
the liquor traffic was tolerated, for
no sensible person may credit the far
fetched theory of prohibition reform
ers that the nation has not suffered
incomprehensible financial loss
through the humiliation of the legal
lied liquor traffic. Such a wreck of
business could not be wrought without
producing a tragic effect upon the
finances of the country.
Government ownership of mines and
railroads is probable, once the coun-
try ceases to regard it as menace.

SERF LAW ADVOCATES
X f Y ERT TO IN
JUNCTION PROCESS

A committee appointed by the
American bar association to draft a
uniform compulsory labor law for the
various states has reported that 1t
docs not feel warranted in present
ing the draft at this time"
Behind this notice that a general
compulsory labor law will not be
urged looms the United States su-
preme courts annulment of the wage
section of the Kansas industrial court.
What change in four years!
Then Kansas governor was
favored for the vice presidency be-
cause he resurrected a centuries-old
English law for falling strikers.
He was acclaimed throughout the
land. His insipid utterances and alb
surd claims were treated as from a
this mountebank who is now forgot
ten.
Statesmen of the Ponidexter type
sensed the vote-getting value of the
ancient plan and added to the public
hysteria and social decentralization by
favoring compulsory labor laws.
The American bar association joined
the pack against labor, and these eX-
Founders of justice and law appointed
committee to prepare uniform hand
cuff legislation.
And then the bubble BURST The
United States supreme court ruled
that a state legislature can not set
wages by law. If there is any regu-
lating to be done, that is the work of
judges, said the court.
While organized labor has won its
fight against this form of compulsory
labor, they must not delude them
selves. They are confronted by the
same menace in another and more
insidious form.
Advocates of compulsory labor now
depend on the injunction judge and
/ the workers well-known respect for
law, which is capitalized by judicial
usurperS.
1t makes no difference to privilege
whether a strike is broken by an in
| junction judge or by the police power
of the state, but the latter system is
] less smooth than the injunction pro-
/ cess.
failing workers for violating a
compulsory law has too many Sensa-
tional elements to suit privilege. II
is liable TO arouse the masses.
An injunction judge is the ideal
servant of privilege. He says a strike
is a conspiracy" He iails workers
not for striking but for violating his
order to desist from their "conSpir-
acy." They reply that their move
ment is a legal strike, and they in.

"Ha, ha! Defying government

| forces bring the public mind to accept
the views of the injunction judge.
The result is the same as if com

odium Is placed on the workers not

government"

The Review does not favor con-
fiscation of mines, railroads or other
utilities that are now operated under
private ownership. 1t advocates the
purchase of such utilities by a fair
and just compensation to the present
owners on a basis of the assessed
valuation of their property. Such a
purchase price would insure the own
ers all the money they can safely
spend and mammoth heritage to
their children, sufficient to make them
a privileged class for generations to
come. The public might then expect
to be remembered through reductions
in prices of fuel, freight and passen-
ger rates. A scheme to take the
mines, railways or other privately
owned utilities and operate them by
a process of government control, with
guarantee to perpetually pay the
independent stockholders a percent Of
the earnings, obviously has no end,
while strict government ownership
implies eventual liquidation of the
debt incurred by purchase, with the
result that ensuing generations will
derive the full benefits of such in
dustries at minimum of cost. For
the present generation there is the
further assurance against continu-
Gus rise in prices of commodities
furnished through such industries,
and a stability that has not and can
not come through private ownership,
where such ownership is centralized
in the hands of a few.
1t is agreed that government owner
ship may be carried so far as to de-
! priye men Of an incentive to work and
accumulate. For this reason it is not
the part of wisdom to advocate gov
eminent ownership exceput in the
case of such industries as are now
privately owned by few and upon
which the public is absolutely depend
ent. Where distribution of owner
ship is widely and equitably dis
tributed, as in the case of farm lands
bank stock and other similar indus
tries and enterprises, title of which
is scarcely out of reach of any enter
prising citizen, it would be unwise to
advocate government ownership, foi
that would be destructive to the in.
centives by which men live.
1t will not be difficult to find 9
legal way by which a purchase o.
i mines and railroads may be negotiat
ed, once the public is awake to tn,
expediency of such procedure. A gov

Many citizens who oppose compul-
sorry labor laws are confused by The

chicanery and deceit.
The injunction Judge is the key
stone to the anti-union cheap-labol
arch. He lives in an atmosphere Of
unseltish devotion to the cause Of jus.
tiee. In reality he is an aid to privl-
eye and is an increasing menace to
American ideals.
His power can be broken through an
enlightened public opinion.
Citizens in all walks Of life must
be shown by labor that our American
institutions are threatened with creep
ing paralysis when judicial usurpers
are permitted to make laws, interpret
them, and jail men for violating
them.

ENFORCE NINE SAFETY.

Another mine disaster, this, time in
Wyoming. More than a hundred
workers lose their lives. Their fam
lilies, in many cases, are left desti-
tute. No one knows the grief, misery
and agonized suffering that follows
the disaster.
This sort of thing has been going
on for years. More than 5000 miners
have lost their lives in nineteen mine
disasters in the United States since
1900. Only those disasters taking a
toll of more than 100 lives are in
cluded in this total. Thousands more
have been killed or manned in lessor
accidents.
Every time that the miner goes to
work, he runs the risk Of losing his
life or being so badly injured he will
never again be able to earn his living.
Mining, at its best, is dangerous
work. But it is made more danger
Gus by the refusal of the coal inter
ests to do everything possible to pro-
mote safety. Since mining began,
mine owners have sought to avoid the
spending of money to make mining
less perilous. Therefore the miner
continues to be offered as a sacrifice
on the altar of Greed.
Hilmar Stephen Raushenbush, in
his book on "The Anthracite CUES
tion," summarizes briefly the story of
the fight for mine safety. He says:
"Fhe history of mining laws, pro-
viding mainly for safeguards and in
spection, shows that each advance was
made only as the consequence of a
new horrible disaster and that each
bill was fought consistently by the
coal companies. The coal companies
still oppose more stringent safety
legislation; and the old legislation,
the miners assert, is a dead letter
wherever. the union does not exist to
to enforce it,"
Mr.. Raushenbush shows where the
remedy lies. 1t is in stronger organ
ization of the coal miners. Not until
all the mine fields are thoroughly
unionized, will safety be enforced.
In the meantime, organized labor
in every trade should insist that every
possible action be taken to safeguard
the miners. The operators, state and
Federal executives and state and Fed
eral legislatures must be given to UNI
derstand that the miners must be
safeguarded. Aid in this work will be
given by humanitarians but the chief
brunt will fall on organized labor,
which must not fail to act until defin-
lite results are obtained. Mine
slaughter must cease.

The foregoing criticism of the An
thracite operators, coming from a
source that is not known to be par
ticularly friendly to Labor, is con-
else statement of fact.
The Review, however, does not
agree with the implication that gov
eminent control is an unfortunate

of mine operators relative to Cover

not necessarily be unfortunate if il
