as far as he's concerned you can

In this story I was reading,
he wrote:
In the American League it
was the same sad story of
Yankee supremacy. can't
complain about the mere fact
of defeat for our league in the
worlds series, because the
Yankees this year and last have
shaped up as one of the best

might very well have been de-
feated."

u. S. Court Decides

Chicago, ILL.,, QLNS).-The U. S.
Circuit Court of Appeals, by a two to
one decision, has reversed a NLRB
ruling instructing the Fansteel Metal
lurgical Corporation of North Chicago
to re-employ 90 persons discharged for
staging sit-down strike in the plant
seventeen months ago.
The majority opinion of the court
held that the employer was justified
in discharging the employees, feeling
that they severed relationship with
the company themselves "when they
took and retained exclusive possession
of his property against his WILL"
"In this, they violated the law which
they now seek to enforce against the
petitioner" read the majority opinion
of Justice Will M. Sparks. Justice Wal
ter G. Lindley wrote concurring
opinion.
Justice Walter C. Treanor dissented
with the explanation:
"My disagreement rests upon a diff
ference of opinion as to the respec-
tive powers of the National Labor
Relations Board and this court in the
determination of the legal consequeN
ces to be attached to unlawful acts of
striking employees. 1t is my UNDER
standing Of the National Labor Rela-
tions Act that when employees have
ceased work in connection with labor
dispute because of unfair labor prac-
tees, the employer-employe relation
ship continues by force of law =. "

the site of the factory was on "the

in engineers and accountants to test
his plans and materials; and they
found them good, Then he went to
the RFC to borrow money for the fac
tory; and offered to guarantee a much
reduced price for cement in some huge
public works now projected.
Cement Plant Loan Is Rejected
Three of the banks represented on
the advisory board Of the RFC loan
agency Of San Francisco are tied up
closely with three cement companies;
they have "interlocking directories"
that is, one or more directors in each
case sitting on the board Of the bank
and of the cement company. There
is no particular reason for surprise
that the application for loan to build
a cement plant was turned down. If
you want to know what that means,
ask Secretary Ickes about the abso-
lutely fixed price which the govern
ment has to pay.
And there is very little doubt that
many other big industries have just
as good a pull with the bankers on
"advisory councils" in other districts
as cement has in San Francisco.

been made between the workers and
employer, the employer added to the
working force to speed up production.
This was done without giving the en-
ployes chance to express themselves
and because some, having the Yankee
spirit, asked to be heard, orders were
given to cut the force in half, making
the workers appear the losers because
some of them insisted on being party
to any change made. This is a good eX-
ample of working employees against
one another, threatening some with
loss Of jobs is they do not act as the
employer sees fit.
If this is the kind of democracy that

he passes on any other loan, the bank
er comes squarely against choice.
Either the loan is such that he would
make it from his bank; or it is not.
If he would make it, the RFC is Of
fered business that he would be glad
to get. If he wouldn't make it, why
should he foist it on anyone else?
Banks Don't Aid New Business
To Start
Bear in mind that bankers idea
of good loan is not like the idea of
other men. If any new business was
from banker, the fact has escaped
the attention of this historian. Fulton
got his funds from friends, not from
bank. Railroads were financed by
cities, states and the national govern
ment before they could qualify for
bank loans. The first telegraph was
built by Congress, not by any group
of financiers. In asking bankers to
pass upon government loans, other
than relief loans, you are giving the
most cautions ultra-conservative group
of the population the veto power over
any proposal.
Nor is this all. Banking has become
big business in this country faster than
anything except life insurance. Two
hundred industrial and commercial cor
porations, according to Berle and
Means, hold more than half the COM
mercial and industrial assets of the
country. But 100 banks, according to
the American Banker, hold more than
half the financial wealth of the coun-
try. The 100 largest banks hold 52.6
per cent of all the commercial depos-
it's in the United States; the 10 largest
banks alone hold 23.4 per cent of all
the commercial deposits in the United
States.
Big Banks Influence RFC
This predominance Of handful of
huge banks is mighty handicap to
small business. Big business can GO
to big bank and talk turkey on
equal terms. Small business can no
longer go to small bank and do
that with very much confidence. And
nine of the largest 20 banks in Amer
lea are represented on the advisory
boards of the RFC. Five of them
are in the first ten: National City and
Manufacturers Trust Company in New
York, Continental-Illinois and First
National in Chicago, Bank Of America
in San Francisco. Four of them are
in the second ten: Security First Nat
ional of Los Angeles, Chemical Bank
& Trust Company of New York, Nat
ional Bank of Detroit and Philadel-
phia National.
Will the presence Of these financial
giants make small bankers walk bold
ly? 1t hardly seems probable.
Banks Help Steady Customers
There is another bad side to the mat
ter. Banks presuppose business just
as hotels presuppose travel; and like
hotels-though rather more perma.
nently, banks look after their steady
customers. If bank were furnishing
credit for a packing house, for in
stance, it would not loan money to
start another packing house in the
same district.
There happens to be a case in which
this was tried out on bankers, not al
their own banks, but as "advisers" tc
an RFC loan agency. A man of con
siderable wealth and business expert
ence bought very accessible store OF
