This was made clear on reports
of the expected developments in the
sessions Of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States which
opened its meetings here today.
Following the lead of such domi-
nant industrislists as the duPonts,
who have become active supporters
of all Of RooSevelt's New Deal poll
cies, leading Wall Street agents like
Lewis Brown of the -Manville
Corporation, a j, P. Morgan COM
pany, and Howard Heinz of the food
industry. have been comforting with
Roosevelt personally.
In addition, Raymond Motley
Roosevelt's special advisor and lead
ing propaganda for the New Deal,
has also been interviewing leading
manufacturers and employers from
all over the country, lining up these
interests more closely with the
Roosevelt machine.
One of the major detectives now

the Wall Street industrialistS is to
plan ways for the government to
aid these monopolies to restore
markets in the heavy goods indus
tries which have failed to show any
sign Of upturn. Such plans as di-
rect subsidies in the form of loans
to capitalists, and building pro-
grams involving heavy government
purchases of the products of heavy
industry, are being discussed.
But the most important subject
under discussion, it is reported, is
the wage levels in such industries
as the building trades, where Roose-
welt and the employers have been
trying for some time to beat down
the present union levels behind q
smokescreen of a building program.

U. S. Reports Show
: Sharp Fall in Wages
Of Metal Workers
BY Labor Research Association

U. S. Bureau of the Census re-
ports on pig iron and fero-alloys
produced in blast furnaces for the
census years 1881 and 1888, show
that while in this period the num-
Der of workers decreased II per cent
and the total value Of products
turned out decreased 31.4 per cent,
total wages paid declined 40 per
cent.
The report for the same two years
for steel works and rolling mills
shows that although the number
of workers increased by as per cent,
and total value of products de-
creased by only 1875 per cent, wages
fell 23.5 per cent.
In both these industries note the
greater decrease in wages than in
the value of the goods turned out
by those workers. Wage cuts, speed
up and -the-work" schemes
are all reflected in these census
lgures.

Drop in Steel
Cuts More Paw
For Workers
By L. K. A.

by II. N. A.
The steel ingot production rate in
October was 24.59 per cent Of capac-
ity as compared with 36.89 per cent
in October last year and the New
DEAL high of $3.50 per cent in the
imitation boom days Of July, 1893.
october production rate was thus,
except for August and September
which were about % per cent, the
lowest point that has been reached
since Roosevelt came into office. The
current operating rate is about
265 per cent, the recent small rise
over october being due primarily to
a slight pickup in the automobile
schedules.
Steel consumption rate during
October ran about 80 per cent of
ingot capacity. In November and
December we estimate it will not be
much above IS per cent or about the
same as last year. AS a result Of
the consumption rate running re-
Gently above production rate, stocks
of steel have been reduced materi-
ally. However, production in the
near future is likely to remain more
in line with consumption. unless of
course imitation moves of the Roose-
welt administration again stimulate
production to 1888 high levels.
PayrOlls Drop
What the workers are getting out
of this picture is clear from the
figures of employers agencies. Ac-
cording to the American Iron and
Steel Institute, official propaganda
agency for the companies, steel en-
ployment in September was per
cent lower than in August and
nearly 10 per cent below September
of last year. The industry's payroll
showed an even greater drop in
September, Is per cent below
August and nearly % per cent I'M
der September last year.
Steel company propaganda of
course refers to the higher hourly
wage rates being paid to workers,
but these rates mean little to the
worker in terms of food, clothing
and shelter unless he has sufficient
employment to give him an ade-
quate weekly wage. But when we
look at National Industrial Confer
ence Board figure ON average hours
per week we find that it was 226 III
September, the lowest for the whole
crisis period. For the third quarter
Of the year the average hours per
week worked amounted to q. The
previous low quarter had been the
third quarter of 1882, when the
average was 25.4
Low Weekly Earnings
These low hours per week lead to
low average weekly earnings. which
in September were only $1449, a
little better than the crisis low of
s1227 in September, 1892.
A considerable growth of the
stagger share work. system
was noted in the third quarter of
this year. Steel companies can still
point Tin September to an employ
ment index of ISL as compared with
1853 in the first quarter of 1881, Is
in the first quarter of 1892 and rs
in the fourth quarter Of 1898. But
the short-time worked, as noted, is
reflected in the unprecedented low
average hours per week.

Sneers at Mob"

IN a jazzy, insolent manner, be-
fitting a tabloid artist, Paisley
proceeds to sheer at the "pitiful
mob" that stormed Washington in
1882. He says, flying no banners,
humping no drums, the shock
troops of new Bonus Army have
invaded the nations capitol" He
calls these, mo. l Men "a hand
picked lot emphasis mine, H. E. b.,
with a discipline that clicks, spirit
that knows no defeat and strategy
that goes places"
Further on, he tells us, "their
dug-outs are comfortable offices,
their ammunition moral suasion
emphasis mine, H. E. b. backed
by some four million votes"
Now, every rank and file veteran,
knows that the mo. Men" have
influence, fine offices and moral
suasion. But as for discipline
that clicks, a spirit that knows no
defeat and strategy that goes
places" these are the qualities of
the rank and file.
Back in 1882, the V.F.W. leader
ship conducted campaign for a
million signatures for the Bonus"
These were deposited on the Capt.
tol steps where the press photog-
raphers snapped the leaders sur
rounded by their efforts" The
pictures were distributed widely and
hailed as a move for the Bonus"
However, when the leaders went
home, the million signatures went
the way of all wood pulp and the
discipline minded leaders forgot
about the Bonus" but the rank
n d file did not. Twenty-fiv
thousand veterans stormed the
Capitol and stayed there until they
we're forced out with tear gas, bull
lets and bayonets. If the VIEW.
and the American Legion leaders
had the discipline, courage and
strategy of these men in their make
up, they would have renowned their
comfortable offices and moral
suasion" for some MASS ACTION.
They would have shared the mud
flats of Anacostia, the tear gas and
bayonets, and today, the Bonus"
would have been paid.
W
A New Interest"
OUT, this is asking too much of
- leadership which has nothing
in common with the rank and file,
a leadership whose courage is as
weak as their promises. However,
they have designs on the rank and
file, and new interest" in the
bonus" For once the bonus" is
paid, with the help of these cham
pions," they can appeal to the rank
and file for support of their pro-
gram for bigger army and navy
strike-breaking, and other fascist
measures, now being Matched be-
hind closed doors. Thus, in Amer
lea as in Europe, the ex-servicemer
will be wooed with a bone in the
hope that they can be used against
their fellow workers in the future
We, for one, do not think this will
wholly succeed, for the simple
reason that the rank and file are
now aware OF their own power anc
that the struggle of their fellow
workers for better conditions is also
theirs.
The capitalist press may praise

 A long bob that can be pinned up at moments notice probably Is the most perfect coiffure for this particular season. Since clothes are either streamlined, pencil-slim and smooth-fitting or bouffant, full and picturesque, girl really needs to have an adjustable haircut that can be worn in Q simple manner to suit the trim costumes in her ward- robe and in a more elaborate fash- ion to go with the other types. Remember that it's smart to show your ears. That Is, of course, if you have nice ones. A long bob with ringlet ends can be smoothcd back from the forehead and pushed behind the ears to give the wearer an extremely youthful. fresh look.
 Be sure to keep the ends cafe- fully curled. Brush them over your finger when you get up in the morning. If few straight hairs stick out here and there, moistel them, wind them around a pencil, pin in place and let dry while you're having breakfast.

O. How can | improve my dis position?
 A. I will answer your question by giving you the story of young lady that came to me some time ago. She was about ready to enter a normal school-and was one of the brightest girls ever met. Her great (cross) was a terrible, un- governabie temper. She told me her grandfather, uncles, aunts and father were inflicted with tempers that bordered on insanity when aroused-and she was the same. She wanted to be a teacher, but know that unless she controlled this terrible fault she could never he a successful teacher--if one at ail. I didn't take it so seriously and said. JAS long as you are aware of this failing, it shouldn't be hard to govern your temper with will pow er." She resented the lightness of my feeling. Why" she said. that is as natural for my father, myself and his family as breathing, there Is no heip for it." I laughed and said, "Your family have had wonderful time all these years con- yincing themselves Of that, and liv- ing up to it." To make long story short, she asked me for a sugges- ton, continuing, T havn't any faith in 1t, but might just as well try something or other, what can you suggest?" I told her there was prayer, concentration, cultivation of will power, avoiding the occa- sion. the love of dependents, asso- ciates ana a lawful pride that should belong to every normal man and women, and I idded, ito re- fuse these Is nothing more or less than cowardice, weakness of will and admission of defeat" She left me in high spirits and in time en- tered the normal school and be- came a teacher, then was made the youngest principal in the state. This honor was given her because of noise, kindness. a wonderful control over the children, through wise governing and splendid req soning power. She afterwards told
 me ali this was accomplished prin- cipalIy by prayer. You haven't the hard task she had-so you will only have to overlook petty trials and bear in mind that bad dis position in the quickest and surest way to impoverished looks, wrin- kles and lost beauty--to say noth- ing of the discomfort fothers-- and self dissatisfaction. You haven't reached even the prime of life yet. How foolish, to be your own worst enemy.
