would be glad to come and develop
our resources.
II am very glad to say that our en-
terprise Is q successful, harmonious
organization which has been carry
ing on the affairs of the greatest in
dustrtal concern In the world. There
are many things the management Of
no business can contfol--for instance
prices OF commodities manufactured
and sold. That is something entirely
in the control Of sellers and pur-
chasers together.
Discusses Wages.
while the Steel Corporation has
ever been willing to take advantage
of labor being plentiful and has al
ways kept wages up to what 1t
p-titor companies have not always
manifested this attitude. II the Steel
Corporation could do exactly what 1t
would like to do 1t would always de-
maad and receive fair prices for
everything 1t produces. so that there
should be reasonable profit. depend
ing on the value of investments. And
1T would never have prices rise SO
high as to be extortionate.
Our men would always be perfect
ly satisfied were 1t not for the un-
callsd-for and unjustifiable tnterfer-
eace of outsiders who don't know
anything about our business and
would just as soon see 1t go to smash
as they would to see 1t succeed. Some
times they create trouble, but 1t is
only temporary. When the men are
given an opportunity to pass upon
the questions that are raised, they
are generally easily persuaded that
the management has their welfare at
heart"
