WHEELING Steel
WAGES CUT HALF
5 Times AS Much Work
Less Men to Do It
(Bg a Worker Correspondent

by a Worker Correspondent
YoRKVILLE, Ohio. - In the
Wheeling Steel Co. plant here I
was working as timer. In this
department the timers work on a
hree- shift basis which is eight hours
a shift, each turn.
There are SO pots where the tin
is fed into the pots to get a coat
of metal. One man takes care of
each pot, and for three shifts there
are total of IL timers.
And the laborers there are 80
buggy boys for "a hours, IL mechan-
iss,s IL brand men and four sweep
ers.
The timers are paid on a pie,e-
work basis, which is 10 cents box,
Sc sheets in each box. The timers
are paid for the clean plate put out
and not the MASTERS and members.
Each turn timer puts out IS to
IS boxes and if the machine is fast
he timer can make 50 to S12 a
urn, and they work five to six days
a week.
And today under the new pull
feeders or automatic feeders, the
companys puts in IL of these ma
chimes. One man takes care of two
machines, which is six men fol each
turn, and for three turns there are
10 timers for the II machines, for
"a hours Of work, comparing the
force of timers for SO pots, in three
shifts was III timers, also the
buggy boys there were 80, the COM
pany got an electric shift truck that
is taken care Of by one man for

laid off, and the same applied to the
brand boys and the mechanics. I'm
der this new patent the timer pu.s
out $50 to 400 boxes of tin, where
before one man put out 65 to IS
boxes.
And now they pay the timers only
IS a day, where before they were
making an average Of from 50 to
$40 a day for the work hat they
put out. This is the speed-up and

plants of the Wheeling Steel Co.

POWER BILL WOULD ABOLISH
ALL COMPETITION

Apparently the fact that Initia-
tive Measure No. ! is an economic
and not political issue is gradu-
ally being understood by the voters.
The proponents of the measure are
being reluctantly forced to admit
that when districts are formed the
power to increase taxes would be
vested in three commissioners with
out vote of the people.
They cannot deny that the TAX
ing of millions of dollars of proper
ty off the tax rolls will necessarily
increase the taxes OF every other
property owner.
To meet this issue they are deny
ing that the commissioners will
purchase or condemn any of the
existing property.
They are overlooking the state
ment of Homer T. Bone, one of
the authors of the bill, made be-
fore the legislative hearing, that
the purpose of this measure was
not to provide competition but TO
drive the light and power compan-
les out of the State of Washington.
Read their own declaration pub
lished in the Grange News of
August 20 in which they state,
history repeats itself-the power
trust is going the way of the
saloon" They overlook the fact
that Mr.. Ross, superintendent of
Seattle's Municipal Plant, has
openly stated that competition in
the light and power business causes
a duplicate investment and ex-
pense, working against rate reduc-
tons. That he has recommended
to the City Council of Seattle that
they condemn the private distribu-
ting system and power plants in
order to give Seattle the monopoly
of the light and power business
Section after section Of the meas
ure provides for the purchase and
condemnation of the plants and
properties of the privately owned
companies.
1t is too late for them to re-
pudiate the powers granted in the
bill which they, themselves, drew
and to now deny the statements,
both oral and published, which
they have repeatedly made.

Washington Water Power Compai. !,
and A. S. Goss, master of the State
Grange who is sponsoring the measure
To this suggestion Mr.. Goss has re-
joined IN letter which reveals perhaps
more than he intended. Offering to
find substitute for himself in such a
debate, Mr. Goss writes:
You will readily recognize the
fact that Mr.. Post has been at
torney for the Washington Water
Power Company for many years.
He is not only thoroughly familiar
with all the intricacies Of rate
structure. operating costs and every
detail of the business, but also he
Is an authority on law, with whom
man Of my occupation could not
be expected to match wits.
Yet the initiative bill that Mr.. Goss
has assumed to sponsor in the name
of the Grange would authorize men OF
his occupation and all others to create
any number of power districts, elect
some of their number as commissioners
and thereafter proceed to condemn and
acquire all power properties now pri-
vateiy owned, to levy taxes and incur
debt in an unlimited amount, and to
own and operate all the power plants
in the state.
Mr. Goss admits that he and men OIL
his occupation know nothing about the
power business. 1t is an admission
that would readily be made by anyone
In any occupation other than the power
business itself, except such public
ownership zealots as may not be a.
inadvertently frank as Mr.. Goss. Mr.
Goss doesn't feel qualified to debate
with Mr.. Post, because, as he says, Mr.
Post, by training and experience, know
what to talk about, and Mr.. Cos.
