Strikes---and Profits

THE familiar justification for strikes in the defense
industries is that these lush times for industry
and that labor should share in the supposedly huge profits
In the defense program.
There would be high warrant for this contention If
Industrial production for defense purposes being
conducted excessively even substantially profit
able basis.
But it should be most thoughtfully borne in mind in
this situation that the tremendous EXPENDITURES
being made for defense production not attended by
proportonste profits.
IT BEARS squarey upon this fact that the national in
dustria conference board has just disclosed that the
net profits for all manufacturing corporations in the
United States 1910 materially LESS than for the
year of 1887
They were in fact five hundred million dollars less
Cash dividends paid III 1910 were also five hundred
million dollars less than in 1887.
And these significant things true in spite of the
fact that the total INCOME for the manufacturing
poratons in 1910 than two billion dollars greater
than in 1887.
THUS it may be that while industry has entered
upon an era of increasing volume of production and
income it has also encountered an era of DWINDL1NG
PROFITS
This is due in no small part to increases in the cost
of labor itself made possible by prevailing legislation and
policies and practices advantageous and beneficial to labor
1t is due in further part to steadily and enormously
increasing taxes levied by federal, state and local
government.
Since it to be expected that tax exacons against
industry will be increasingly and burdensome,
further dwindling of profits is inevitable.
This only mean that insofar as the higher wage
demands of labor are met, they now being
sstenty met in the majority of settlements they cannot
be taken Of profits but must result in higher costs Of
production

Of Loud-Mou+hed Diners
BY DAMON RUNYON

IF THE members of There
i Oughta-Be-a-Law Association
will come TO order we will pre-
sent a. situation familiar to all
that cries aloud for summary
action.
Ladies and gentlemen. you are
dining in quiet restaurant
with no sounds audible TO the
ear other than the normal noises
incident upon the inhalation of
soup and the mastication of the
more solid forms of sustenance.
Among and around you con-
versation is reduced to low,
genteel murmur. The walters
slip about with velvet tread. The
atmosphere is orderly and rest
full.
Then suddenly appears on the
scene party of men and women
who have been doing little
elbow-bending prior to their ar
rival and who are. in fact, three
or four or five sheets in the
wind. as the saying is.
TIIEY enter in great confusion.
Il The DANES are giggling, the
guys laughing uproariously.
They advance into the room
still giggling and laughing, but
in ever-increasing volume.
One guy is sure to direct a
few witticisms at the head
waiter as he escorts them TO a
table. though he be a man of
dignified demeanor, striving TO
perform his duty with dignity.
Now comes the business OF
seating the party, which is
usually directed in a loud tone
of voice, and with frequent
switchings of the arrangements,
by one Of the DANES, presum-
ably the hostess.
All this is TO the accompani-
ment of more of the giggling
and laughing and wise cracks
by the inevitable comedian or
comedians of the group. Often
there is more than one come
dian.
NOV that they are finally
~ seated, after much disorder.
the matter of preliminary drinks
is taken up. and this leads to an
almost endless discussion, all i'm
loud tones. but it is not a patch
ing 10 what comes when the
party starts ordering the viands.
There are frequent Interrupt
tons by various ladies discourse
ing on why they cannot eat this
or that and what happened TO
them the last time they did, and
maybe one of the comedians
works few more witticisms
which produce gales of laughter
and distinctly offend the sensi-
bilities OF the waiter.
Well. by this time the new
arrivals are in complete possess
sion Of the premises. their noise
wrecking tho quiet and decorum
like bomb dropping through
the ceiling.
They are apparently unaware
OF the presence Of any one else
in the place. They submerge
even the low murmur of those
at the other tables.
They are impervious 10 the
reproving glances directed at
them and TO the helpless shout
der iShrugs and eyebrow fittings
OF thc boss Of tho Joint as he
stands regarding them in hateful
aversion.

ONE reason we are having so
~ many strikes lately is that
most women working in factories
today are married women who
have husbands working the whole
year through.
They are the people who have
the least fear of losing a job.
They have saved enough money
TO keep themselves going for
few months in case of a strike.
They are usually the people who
have few children to support If
at all.
We should abolish the labor of
women in factories.

THE simple fact which must be faced by labor as well
as by government and by industry and by the general
taxpayng public is that higher costs of production,
whether caused by labor materials other social
economic factor, inevitably put CEILING ON TOTAL
PRODUCTION.
AS long as this arbitrary ceiling is maintained at a
level where the United States supass the production
Of ships planes guns and munitions by potential enemy
nations. proceeding soundy.
But at the exact point where thus LIMIT Ameri-
production below the capacities of possible
enemies, we invite disaster
No American interests can possibly be served by blind
nsstence getting SHARE out Of defense expendi-
lures regardless of the hamperng effect total produc
ton induced thereby.
THE very vital and real interest of American labor most
i certainly cannot be thus served.
This does not suggest that the defense program
should be carried at the dsproportonate expense of
labor.
But it does very sharply and advsedy suggest that
the wage demands Of labor should not be settled by the
jungle law of strikes and violence but should be submitted
to and decided by democratic processes of negotiation and
arbitration.
Only thus the merit Of labor's demands and the
capacities of industry and the necessities of the country
be weighed and adudicated in accordance with their in
separable relationship to each other.
