PREPARE FOR WORLD FIGHT TO CONTROL STEEL

many and France while foreign iron
Eand steel broke into the British home
market to the extent of 1,476,986 tons
in the first quarter of the year The
| British industry normally requires a
foreign market for about 60 per cent
of its production.
The Wall Street Journal publishes
a table showing the financial results
of 8 leading British iron and steel
companies. Included are such we'll
known concerns as Armstrong Whit
worth & Co., Baldwins, Guest Keen &
Nettlefolds and Vickers. Of the 9
there are operating at a deficit with
the market value of their shares near
the lowest point in history.
Prepare for Battle.
In preparation for the world battle
of steel giants the British companies
are slowly drawing together to form
mergers. Today s concerns. control
70 per cent of the total steel output.
They are busy undermining their
plants and are working to obtain a
70 per cent duty on foreign steel
products to offset the lower wages
which are paid on the European con-
tinent. At present about so per cent
of the British steel industry has as
modern equipment as any in Ger
many or America, while 20 per cent
more could be brought up-to-date. The
rest must be scrapped.
American steel makers have been
working for several years to ward off
the dumping of German products in
the United States. The Wall Street
Journal says:
"Anti-dumping proceedings against
German steel shapes are part of the
conflict between the American and
German iron and steel industries
which has been going on for several
years. As an outgrowth of this con-
flict the treasury issued an anti
dumping order against German pig
iron but failed to find evidence of
dumping in the case of German steel
rails imported into the United States"
Whichever capitalist group wins in
this struggle, labor in every country
will loose. American business men
are already suggesting that foreign
competition means lower wages or I'M
employment. So at the end when
some. sort of world organization of
the industry is achieved labor's posi-
ton will be hopelessly inferior I'M
less in the meantime it has created an
international organization capable Of
standing up to the capitalist giant.

Letters From Our Readers
itor, DAILY WORKER:
Justice Crucified.

On Sunday last 1 was irresistibly
drawn to the little central group Of
devoted defenders of Sacco and Van
zetti, whom | had never seen, but to
whose cause / have contributed my
mite for several years.
/ Joined the long line that passed
through the flower-lined rooms and
looked upon the thin, exalted faces of
the martyrs, worn by their long suf-
fering to the fineness of chiseled
marble, and later walked with the
thousands in their funeral procession
1t was no spirit of triumphant 'law
and order" that hung over Boston
that day. That spirit perhaps ex-
listed, concealed in club rooms,
churches and rich dwellings,. The at
titude of the silent crowds that lined
the streets was a combination of
sympathy and questioning wonder,
tinged with the gloom of the funeral
atmosphere.
Calling at the little office of the
defense committee, read upon the
door this eloquent statement:
This day, August %, 1927, Nicola
Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti,
workingmen and dreamers of the
brotherhood of men, who hoped it
might be found in America, were
done to cruel death by the children
of those who fled, long ago, to this
land for freedom.
"Their voices are gone into all the
earth, and they will be remembered
in gratitude and tears when the

A gigantic attempt to trustify the
world steel industry under the control
of American financiers will be the
problem confronting Ebert GaIy's
successor as chairman of u. S. Steel.
The cut-throat battle now develop
ing between the great national steel
combines of England, Germany,
France and the United States, pre-
sents picture of an international
scale closely resembling that within
the United States during the last 10
years of the 10th century. The stu
alton is so serious that the chairman
ship of U. s. Steel will probably be
largely nominal, with the actual con-
troll passing to some sort of trium-
virate including finiancier, a super
salesman and technical expert.
Bitter Competition.
Facing U. S. Steel is the United
Steel Works Corp. of Germany partly
financed by American capital. This
German trust represents an anialga-
nation of four companies which were
driving each other into bankruptcy
1t is half billion dollar corporation
and made profit of more than $780,
100000 in the 6 months ended March
81, 1927.
UNITED Steel" says The Wall
Street Journal, employs $4,000 per-
sons. Its coal properties and annual
coal capacity of 37,188, 900 metric tons
are the largest Of any company in the
world. The company has 81 coke
plants with capacity of 100000
tons and is making the fullest use of
byproducts. 1t has 66 blast furnaces
with a capacity of 100000 tons of
pig iron, q steel plants, capacity over
100000 tons of raw steel and other
mills with capacity of over 7,100, 900
tons of finished iron and steel prod
ucts."
American capital to the extent of
nearly $100,000,000 has enabled the
German United Steel to modernize it's
equipment and it is now operating 3

contrasts with about 60 per cent

Answer to Shiplacof's Challenge

II cost the union to organize these
shops Upon what was spent tens
Of thousands of dollars of which no
account was given to the member
ship?
Organization Work.
4. Who organized the workers of
those shops mentioned in Shiplaeoff's
statement? Did the administration
have to exert any special effort to
achieve such organization results
Was it necessary to place special or
ganizers and spend extra money for
that purpose?
AS tar as we know most of the
bosses of those cockroach shops came
to the union of their own free will
and for one reason or another asked
the union to sign agreements with
them. But where genuine effort and
real organization ability was needed,
there, nothing was accomplished.
Forget Expenditures.
5. Why has the Shiplacoff admin
istration, in it's challenge" only
touched upon the facts dealing with
income and entirely ignored the fact
we give about the unions expendi-
lures? Will the administration al
low the investigation committee to
concern itself with the unions ex-
penses as well?
6. What are the reasons that
makes the administration afraid to
report to the members about the
unions expenses? Has the Shipla-
coff administration such expenses of
which we must not know? If that
is the case-if the members must
not know the nature of these ex-
penses, aren't we at least entitled to
know the sum total of all the unions
expenditures
Z. Whose money is this $1,000 GO
ing to be which Shiplacoff and his
boys have in mind to give to a Com
munist institution? Did they think
of taking this money from their own
pockets or from the union treasury
If :his proposed money will come
from their pockets we are perfectly
satisfied, but if they mean the
uAiiOh tlSdSuly, we SHOulu ike TO
know who gave them the right to
make such a proposal? Besides
Shiplacoff may as we'll know that
such money, even for Communist
purposes, is not acceptable to us.
Want Fair Investigation.
If Shiplacoff's administration will
give clear and definite answers to all
these questions, we are ready to start
together with them to work on this
investigation. While we are at it we
may inform them that we are even
satisfied that the investigation COM
mittee should consist, not Of Com
munists, as Shiplacoff proposed, but
of impartial people. We do not
want to give Shiplacoff the oppor-
tunity to have prepared excuse that
the Investigators were partial. We
are sure that any impartial and
honest person who will investigate
the affairs of our union will be forced
to come to the conclusion that the
present administration should have
long since been where our former
chief, Walinsky, is-outside of the
union, and not in our ranks.

The international investing class is
steadily increasing its tribute from
the workers of all lands, as portrayed
in a U. S. department of commerce
report on the balance of international
payments to and from the United
States in 1926. A large part of the
report is devoted to the investment of
American capitalists in foreign coun-
tries and the investment of foreign
capitalists in America. The lopsided
balance in the exchange of commodi-
ties is compensated by transfers of
title to the means of production and
by luxurious travel by the privileged
classes.
U. S. Workers Paid Less.
The simplest part of the report
from the viewpoint of labor shows
that the United States exported
$5,038 100000 of commodities in 1926
and imported $4,59O,O0o,OOO. The
country sold to foreigners $448,-
100000 more of the products of
American workers than it purchased
of the products of foreign workers.
This socalled favorable balance of
trade may appear to have meant
more jobs for American workers but
it really meant that American work
ers received that much less goods in
return for their products sold abroad.

MAN, 70, MIND BLANK,
STILL UNIDENTIFIED
Gallinger Hospital Authorities
Puzzled Over Patient Found
Asleep in Park.

His mind almost blank. a man
about 20 years old, found early yes
terday asleep on a park bench at
Ninth and B streets northeast, was
unable to give any workable clue to
the location or identity of his friends
or relatives today at Gallinger Hos
pital. where he is being cared for.
Weak from age, his face covered
with a long gray patriarchial beard,
he presents a shrunken. pathetic fig
ure of what must once have been a
powerful man. Puzzled and harrassed
like a man in a dream, he is coherent
in only one thing-the steadfastness
with which he maintains that his
name is William +. Brown. He de-
scribed himself once to DR.. Morris

years old, good Pennsylvania Dutch
boy and soldier" Since then, how
ever, he has affirmed and denied hav-
ing fought in the Civil War so many
times that it is impossible to deter
mine whether or not he is a veteran.
According to DR.. Hyman, the pa
tient is at least 20 years old, probably
older, and suffering from senile de-
mentia. Dressed in trousers. bedroom
slippers and undershirt only, the old
man was found at 2 o'clock yesterday
morning by Patrolman L. E. Hazard.
