to you and the company if you become better

I foreSee the lay when many managements
will offer special advantages to those who furnish
the capital to keep them going. Assuredly the
regime now ruling at Washington has discouraged
rather than encouraged thrifty people to hand
over their savings to business managements. The
latter should lose no opportunity to make pur-
chasing Of their securities worth while.
Sales Drive Fruitful
THE National Salesmen's Crusade is bearing
fruit. One of the most valuable lessons is
that which has been taught salesmen, namely
that extra calls ring up extra orders One expert
ence supplied this column:
Walter Landback buckled down to see how
much business he actually could do in one week.
Results were so good that his enthusiasm mounted
as the week went on, as it will with all good
statesmen. He made so calls on known prospects,
and 20 cold canvass calls He sold 13 refrgerators
five electric ranges, one washing machine and
an oil burner. Twenty sales from 80 calls.
His comment was: Hard work and enthusiasm
still pay dividends to Salesmen.'"

'GIRDLER, LEWIS
CALLED'TWO OF
KIND BY JURIST
Neither Fit for Power,
CIarke's Opinion

UN.S.) The fates that have
made President Tom Girdler of
Republic Steel and CIO Chairman
John L. Lewis arch enemies
chuckled at their own irony TO-
day, and turned up the letter of
an aged exjustice of the United
States Supreme Court, who
classed the militant steel maker
and labor leader two of kind"
Moreover, said the writings,
neither Girdler nor Lewis Is q
man fitted for wise exercise of
power.
Former Supreme Court Justice
John H. Clarke of San Diego, 81
years old, wrote the letter during
the riotous little steel" strikes
of 1887.
In the wisdom Of his long judi
cial career and his four-score
years, Justice Clarke looked at the
work of Tom Girdler and John
L. Lewis, and found neither to
his liking.
LETTER MADE PUBLIC
Justice Clarke'S letter was made
public today as evidence In the
Senate Civil Liberties Committees
investigation Of the little steel"
strike.
The great mills of Sheet and
Tube, Girdler's Republic and other
little steel" units were idle.
Thousands of men were out of
work. Angry strikers patrolled the
streets.
Justice Clarke was a Sheet and
Tube stockholder, and wrote in
response to a notice from H. G..
Dalton, Sheet and Tube board
chairman. Dalton advised stock
holders that Sheet and Tube man
agement was going along with
elders Republic, refusing to sign
written agreement with Lewis
CIO, seeking peace on a basis OF
oral agreement.
BOTH SIDES SCORED
Condemning both sides, former
Justice Clarke wrote:
IT must add, my dear Dalton,
that the general impression
among the men I meet, and
which derive from my reading,
is that Girdler and Lewis are
two Of a kind, and neither is
fitted to a wise exercise Of the
power which a strange turn Of
the wheel of fortune has given
them.
Permit me to add, not less
as a citizen than as stock
holder, that I am surprised you
have selected such leader and
spokesman for the Sheet and
Tube Company" (Here former
Justice Clarke referred to
Girdler)
The jurist discussed the Sheet
and Tube management's policies
which we're in line with Girdler's
ideas, in detail, and he particu
larly opposed oral agreements. A
written contract, he argued, made
for certainty of Interpretation
while oral agreements left mat
ters subject to slippery human
memory.
