TROUBLE IN STEEL INDUSTRY

There can be little doubt but that
serious trouble impends in the steel indus
try where employers have served notice
they will resist the closed shop and union
officials have announced determined
drive for the organization of the steel
workers.
The danger of strikes and disorders,
we believe, is not immediate but more apt
to occur later in the campaign as the work
of organization spreads. To begin with,
union leaders want no strikes now, when
the labOrers are unOrganized, and would
prefer to have a showdown when the in
dustry as a whole is under union control
Employers, on the other hand, for APP
parent reasons, would much rather put
down militant unionism before it becomes
strong enough to close down the entire in
dustry. s. + a--,z ..s-
Unfortunately. the issue is about to
become embroiled in politics, which is to
be regretted The Steel Institute, in its
manifesto. would protect its employees from
interference from any source and John L..
Lewis, leader of the drive for uniOnization,
is al avOWed hacker of President Roose-
welt. The danger is that the public may
lose sight of the industrial significance of
the movement while keeping watch on
political developments.

ARMING FOR WAR

The nations of the world are arming
feverishly. ostenSibly for defense, but this
means war sometime in the near future A
similar activity preceded the outbreak of
the World War in 1914.
We may not know but it looks to us
that the re-arming of the world has been
forced by the activities of three countries,
namely, Germany, Italy. and Japan The
first two are controlled by dictators. with
thirst for national glory and adventure
The last-named nation is ruled by a mill
tary clique and is engaged in gObbling up
as much of China as it can and as fast as
it can.
We do not believe that either Britain,
Russia. France or the United States wants
war, yet they would be foolish not to
arm and prepare to defend themselves
against possible attack. Disarmament is
fine and desirable but nation would be
foolish to practise it alone.

how much debt a country can stand?
A nation is made up of individuals:
and should individuals ask themselves
how much of debt they can stand.
and proceed to go into debt up to this
limit?
There are occasions. to be sure.
when individuals are forced by cir
cumstances to 60 into debt: and there
are times when borrowing to make
an advantageous investment is juSti-
fed. The objective of individuals.
however, should be to avoid indebted
ness. To be free of debt not only con-
duceS greatly to ones peace of mind.
but also brings about more even pur-
chases of goods, and thus promotes
the stability of industry.
Recurrently the unfortunate conse-
quence of being heavily burdened
with debt are seen in the resort to
the bankruptcy courts by individuals
and corporations The trouble with
debt is that one can not foresee the
future, and therefore an obligation
that seemed moderate at the time IL
was concurred may eventually prove
highly burdensome
The President. indeed. recognized
this fact in recently offering the sug-
gestion that the railroads during the
prosperous years should have reduced
their Indebtedness. And yet until the
depression struck the country with
heavy force their debts did not seem
excessive. Industrial corporations
have as a rule acted more wisely in
this respect. Many of them utilized
the prosperous years ending in 1929
to pay off their bond issues. and as a
result their financial position was
much stronger during the lean years
of the lamented depression.
The advocates of debt creation may
properly be reminded of remark
by Artemus Ward.
Let us all be happy, and live with
in our means" he said. "even if we
have to borrow the money to do It
with"

but the warlike arrangements
seemed to enforce respect.
In his narrative, Cox has no re-
mantle theories regarding the ma
tives. Here is his description of
those who were keeping company
with his party: '.'The dress OF the

These were ms views, and we

Day after day was passed in their
struggle. to push forward. Continu-
ally on the alert, they had to face
new and unknown dangers almost
every day. Sometimes one half OF
the brigade posted as sentinels about
the camp while the other half
rested Provisions began to dwindle
and they had recourse to a menu
Of horse flesh. At one village five
horses were purchased, and as these
were intended for the kettle they
were doomed to instant destruction.
This to some at first was highly
repugnant to the feelings, but nee
essity soon conquered these qua1ms
of civilization, and in few days
they almost brought themselves to
believe that the animal on which
they fed once carried horns, was
divided in the hoof and chewed the
cud.
Owing to the many accidents
which befell their canoes while ne
gotiating the rapids, and the time
employed in repairing them and
drying damaged goods, their pro-
gress was exceedingly slow and they
did not reach the Wallah Wallah
until the 28th Camp was made In
the evening and they were visited
by a number of the tribe of that
name.
Tamtappam, their chief, was very
friendly, and when asked to procure
a number of good horses fit to carry
luggage and others to eat, readily
consented to secure the number
wanted and departed to round them
up.

further prosecution of their journey

ATOMS TO MEET INDIAN PlL-
FERERs. ARRIVAL AT WALLA
WALLA.
On their journey from Astoria,
Cox and his party reached the first
rapids on the evening Of June 4,
1912. Up until this time they had
found the Indians friendly and had
done some trading with them at
Astoria. It soon became apparent,
however, that the tribe who had
their dwellings at the rapids were
exhibiting hostile feelings, and were
not at all favorable to the voyagers,
so it was deemed necessary to pre-
pare for eventualities. Each man OF
the party was provided with a mus
ket and forty rounds of ball CART
ridges, with punch, belts, etc., and
over his clothing he wore leather
armor. his was a kind of shirt MADE
out of the skin of the elk, and
reached from the neck to the knees.
It was perfectly arrow proof and
at eighty Or ninety yards could not
| be penetrated by a muSket ball.
Besides the muskets, many of the
| men had daggers, short swords and
| pistols, and when thus equipped
presented a formidable appearance.
After making camp for the night,
a council of war was called, the
| seriousness of the situation was
carefully considered, and it was ar
| ranged that five officers should re-
main at each end of the portage
and the remainder, with twenty
five men, be stationed at short dis
tances from each other.
| The length of the portage was
between three and four miles, the
Ipath was narrow and dangerous,
one part greatly DISTRACTED by slip
perry rocks, and another ran through
thick wood, from which skillful
enemy could have attacked with adj
vantage.
The first day they only made hall
of the portage, and encamped al
night near an old village, with the
river in front, deep wood at the
rear, at one end a natural entrench-
ment of rocks, and at the other q
barrier formed by the canoes anc
bateaux. The whole brigade was di-
vided into three watches, with five
officers to each.
The task of making this portag
was begun on the morning of JUNE
6, and finished about two in thu
afternoon During their progress
the Indians lowered near to tn
men who were carrying the bale
and once or twice made an attemp
to pilfer goods, but the excellen
precautions the voyagers ha'
adopted deferred them from at
tempting anything like forcible rob
