THE EFFICIENCY OF MR.. GRACE

Eugene G. Grace, president of the
Bethlehem Steel Co, told Senator Nye
at a munitions hearing recently that
he believed that the govern
ment would be very inefficient in
managing a steel plant, especially in
war time.
From his own point of view, Mr..
Grace undoubtedly is right. He has
an efficiency in feathering his own
nest which no government official
would know how to initiate.
Mr.. Grace collected $12,282,00o of
bonus" for his services to the Beth
lehem Co. in the years from 1917 to
1881. During that same period, he
was getting a salary of from $4,000
to S101 900 a year. If a government
official got rake-off like that from
his job and anyone found it out
he would spend a season of retirement
and meditation in Atlanta or Leaven-
worth.
In one Of those years, 1917, Mr..
Grace's company cleared SCI 10000
in net profits; 43 per cent in single
year on a grossly inflated capitaliza-
ton. 1t made this blood and iron profit
after setting aside in the asme year
$1,501 900 bonus" for Eugene G.
Grace. This profit was a war profit,
and the bonus in that year and the
next was a war bonus By the way,
does Mr.. Grace approve a bonus for
the men who served in the war?
Probably not. He told the senate
committee that he approved drafting
men for service at the front, but that
to draft capital by taking away its
excess profits would be different
And in one way, Mr.. Grace's tes-
timony does show government ineff-
cheney That he could take such prof
its out Of the nation in time of war
and not go to the penitentiary for it
is an evidence of ineptness on the part
of some persons in the government
which cannot be denied

Taxicab Drivers Strike

Mexico City-A strike of the chauf-

a single taxicab for hire. The strikers
demanded collective contract and a
change in status from operators on
their own account to employees Hith-

owners about 5 pesos day for the
use of their cars. The strikers patrol

Organized labor has always had the

Cheap Apartments

The Town Council of South Queen
ferry, Scotland is erecting a block of
four-room apartments which will be
rented for $3.50 per week. Apartments
of three large rooms will be rented
for $1.45 and three small ones for
$1.40. The Council is using direct
labor to build the apartments, having
found this method much cheaper than
contract work.

NpUsTRIAL SAFETY BY LAW

INDUSTRIAL SAf III y LAW
The imperative necessity of strict
laws requiring employers to provide
their employees with safe machinery
and equipment to work with is stressed
by the current report of the Califor-
MIA department Of industrial relations
to the governors council. The report
says:
Two freight elevators in q ga
rage were operating without pro-
lection at the entrance landing.
Three times the employer had
been cited to appear before the
district attorneys office and each
time promised to remedy the IN
safe conditions, also that he would
not permit them to occur again.
Upon the employers failure to do
any Of these things, it was decided
to seek a supreme court injunction
prohibiting him from operating
these elevators in an unsafe con-
dition.
THE employer must have sens
ed cur intention to stop this un-
safe condition, because before
the injunction could be is
sued he put a gang Of men to work
all night and put his elevators in
good condition.
The actions Of the industrial re-
lations department in finally compell-
ing the employer to make the elevator
safe is commendable, but the fact that
he was cited three times to appear
before the authorities for violation Of
the state safety law indicates an un-
calledfor delay in compelling com
pliance with the law. 1t would seem
that the first refusal of an employer
to provide for safety Of his employees
as required by law should automatic
ally result in the immediate applica-
ton Of the statute to him. Any de
lay compels the workers to run the
danger Of injuries in operating the
unsafe machinery or equipment.
Workers should promptly report to
the proper authorities unsafe work
ing conditions. Otherwise, unscrupu.
lous employers, cunning in their de.
vices to get away with safety Law
violations, are likely to be the means
Of imposing serious injuries on their
workers.

about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes AippantIy,
sometimes recklessly.

just why it should take the Amer
lean wage earners so long to become
aware of the value and necessity of
radio is one of those big mysteries
which there probably is no use trying
to solve.
Radio is the fastest means of COM
munication. There is no blanket
that can match it. There is no such
general llsteing to any other voice.
Yet organized American workers
seem to regard radio as belonging to
the other fellow" with nothing to be
done about it.
Radio is costly agency, for one
person to own, or to buy.
Bu7 radio isn't costly, for mil
lion.
AS whole and in the main, Amer
can wage earners think too little
OF telling their story that's what
propaganda really is-telling the
story.
Mostly, the telling of labor's story
is in the other fellows hands to-
day-his radio and his newspapers.
If the labor press could be suffi-
GENTLY supported, that would be
enough, as far as labor itself is con-
cerned.
The labor press is as good as its
readers allow it to be. When they
take a more live and intelligent in
terest in their weekly press, it will
be stronger and better.
As it is, not other nation has any
thing half as good as the American
labor press, weekly and monthly.
The past year has seen real
growth in the labor better
papers and many new papers.
But, with few exceptions, they still
are not supported as they ought to be-
Where there is real support a good
job is done.
But there is not daily newspaper
for labor in the whole nation.
There is not a publication that
speaks for labor and that at the same
time has any considerable following
OUSIDE the ranks of organized labor.
A commercial firm that did no more
to convence strangers of the virtue
of its product would go out of bust
ness in hurry.
The American labor movement has
NEVER been sold to the general
public, and the daily press abounds in
misunderstanding and misrepresen-
tations, not all of which are the fault
of those who own the daily papers of
the nation.
Labor men shout prejudice" and Of
course there is prejudice.
Why not?
There is prejudice among plenty of
wage earners who honestly do not
know why unions exist, what they do
or what they seek to do.
There is only one way in the world
to remove prejudice, and that is to
earn the confidence of those who have
prejudice and to tell them the facts
repeatedly. Nobody ever learns about
facts unless those facts are placed
where he can hear or see them.
That doing such things costs money
is no answer.
Not to do these things costs prog
ress, or costs a longer period of ex-
ploitation, whichever way anyone
cares to put it.
This isn't scolding. 1t is merely
la way of discussing a great problem.
There are plenty of obstacles. There
are plenty of other things to consume
time and money.
But every other task is made easier
by creation of general understanding
Of course further development of
channels of education will be made
easier by better support for the exist
ing labor press. That, then, is the
first job.
1t ought to be an easy job-but no
