What Is the Remedy

What is the remedy? One
thing is clear, namely. that the
remedy is not TO have the gov
eminent take over" on the
ground that there can be no
strike against il. THAT is on
par with having the government
borrow TO pay our debts.) For
the government TO take over.
is TO establish a condition Of
crude state socialism or fascism.
Above all. il is TO deny that a
strike against a government de-
cision, whether that decision be
by an arbitration board or other
wise, is also a strike against the
government.
A bad condition exists when
the government has TO be actu-
ally running plant before a
strike is regarded as being
against il.
Following experience in Eng
land, we should at once legislate
Cd 10 insure real democracy
within union organizations, and
~ TO limit the now overgrown
powers Of the unions as 10 strikes
and picketing. Jurisdictional
strikes and general or sympa-
thetic strikes, like mass picket
ing and violence, are bad at all
times. In war time they are
intolerable.

Urges Congress
Act 10 Limit
Power Of Labor
U. S. in Serious Danger
That Monopoly May
Dominate Unions
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor of Econoulcs. y. Y. University
Undoubtedly our greatest
problems are domestic or inter-
nal. We are a badly divided
people, completely insolvent as
a government. and dominated by
a federal Tammany machine,
which caters 10 several selfish
minority groups. Perhaps the
most serious of all our domestic
problems is the problem of or
gained labor. Certainly the
most difficult OF the issues in
volved in the labor situation are
those which center in "the
closed shop" demand.
Thus one of the very first
things for Congress 10 do is 10
adopt the legislation required TO
deal with the closed shop. II
the President will not lead. Con-
gress should take the initiative.
This legislation is relatively
clear and simple. IL is largely
covered by the laws of England,
and by our experience with the
Wagner Act. Further delay is
therefore inexcusable.

Outstanding luncheons seem 10
be a habit in Detroit lately and
the affair for OPM's Sidney Hill
man was not an exception.
Sponsored by the Board of COM
merce. il attracted the cream OF
Detroit's business leaders and they
came with minds that were open
but somewhat apprehensive.
Hillman's speech was two
listed, rip-snortin' one and the
business men found much in IL
to their liking. although labor men
present, including Richard T.
Frankensteen. heard nothing to
which they could take issue.
He called for a cessation OF in.
ternal warning so we could con.
Icentrate on the external enemies
and pointed out that every strike
today jeopardizes labor's right &c
strike five or 10 years from now
The mixture of army. govern.
ment and business men at the
speakers table was a real tribute
TO Hillman. 1t included:
Secretary of State Harry Kelly
William Brown, president oil
Carey Company; 1t. Col. Harold
lFurlong. administrator of the
Michigan Counsel for Defense
Phil Huber, president Of Ex-Cell-O

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.--Stocks
of refined copper in the United
States at the end of October to-
tailed $3.50 tons, compared with
$3.50 tons at the end of Septem-
Der, an increase of $3.50 tons,
according to the Copper Institute
This is the first increase in such
supplies since June. when the gain
was 5,088 tons TO a total of SO, 164
tons on hand.
Blister stocks of copper last
month were reduced 1,071 tons, SC
that combined total stocks of re-
fined and blister recorded a net
gain of 2,519 tons during the
month.
Consumption of copper last
month, measured by producers
deliveries to manufacturers, aggre-
gated 121, 1913 tons, against 121 ,021
tons in September, an increase oil
292 tons. Of these totals, domes-
tic metal represented 81, 1888 tons
compared with 1888 tons shipped
during September, a drop of $3.50

Well, Tuesday was Armistice
Day and no mails. so a messenger
rushed the invitations over any
way and the B. of c. sat back
with its fingers crossed.
But Uncle Sans mails came
through with flying colors and an
overflow crowd attended.
Joseph Hickey was there despite
the fact his brother. Rev. E. J.
Hickey, chancellor of the archdio-
cese, was at that time addressing
the Beavers Club at the d. A. c.
I. The crowd enjoyed Clarence
Avery's remark that 10 years ago
II Board of Commerce president
had introduced a labor leader at
such a meeting he would have
been shot at sunrise. and If a labor
leader had been found in such
low company" he would have suf-
fered a like fate. D.. BUTT proves
that we've made progress in this
thing called labor relations.
X. T. Keller could hardly restrain
his laughter when Hillman said:
You fellows here have criticized
us fellows in Washington" .
And learned that workers in the
GIN truck and Chrysler tank
enthusiastically fiocked
around Hillman on his morning
tour.

NEW YORK. Nov. 14.--Direc-
tors of Wickwire Spencer Steel
Company have voted against rec
ommending TO stockholders the
acceptance of an offer of REPUBLIC
Steel Corporation 10 pay SIC cash
for the outstanding Wickwire
stock and TO assume the outstand-
ing Indebtedness of Wickwire.
Directors, in letter 10 stock
holders. explained that, in effect
the Republic offer gave Wickwire
only II cents on the dollar for its
plants, which are carried at more
than S10,000,000 on the books
after depreciation and amortiza-
ton of more than SD. 100000. The
letter also estimated that Wick.
wires net income after federal in.
come taxes for 1871 would amount
to approximately 81. 100000. with
the company's plants operating at
practical capacity and making new
production records.
II was pointed out that Wick
wire has quick assets of 81 556. 236
greater than the S7,349,062 lump
sum being offered by Republic. II
the amount of this excess of quick
assets is deducted from Wickwire's

II there is a renewed spirit Of

Mrs. Mccormick, a former
Pulitzer prize winner, was the
principal speaker at a luncheon
given here yesterday by Arthur

automobile and advertising ex-
ecutives at the Recess Club in

competition for the presence OF

40 Times as Great

One authority declares that
our motor trucks today have
potential haulage capacity at
least 40 times as great as in
1917, when we entered the World
War. Well over 100000 trucks
were registered in the first eight
months of this year, contrasted
with only $4,000 during the
whole of 1917. Moreover, we
now have better highways.
greater speed, increased load
capacities.
Realizing the essentially of
adequate transportation equip
ment, OPM has sanctioned a
quota of 1.1S9,000 vehicles for
the IL months ending August /,
next. Moreover, civilian produc-
ton Of q ia-ton or larger trucks
has been given the high priority
rating of AS.
Incidentally, the truck in
dustry states that it would be
still better prepared for what
ever governmental or other
demands may be made upon il if
there were fewer restrictions
imposed on weight and size OF
trucks by certain states, includ-
ing Pennsylvania, Oregon, Loui-
siana, Kentucky, Virginia. Our
Constitution did not envision
interstate BARRIERS, now lament
ably common.

Protect Rights

But labor should now recog-
nize that the foregoing Ifs" do
not apply. In fact. the Wagner
Act is more than enough to pro-
tect collective bargaining. This
act insures that some one union
shall represent all the employees
in shop, and provides the ma
chinery for determining which
one.
Today we are in serious dam
ger that monopoly may domi-
nate labor organization, and
that such monopoly power may
be used 10 dominate the nation.
That is what Lewis stands for.
In a democracy, we must have
democracy in our labor organ
izations. Individual laborers
should be protected in their
rights to reject membership in
a trade union. Labor leaders
should have TO "sell" their or
ganization policies to their men,
bers-not club those members
into the union.

U.S.Steel
Net Seen
$l2 Share

NEW YORK, Nov. Ia. = The
United States Steel Corporation
this year is likely TO earn around
S12 or more a share on the S,703,-
255:2 shares of common outstanding.
This is indicated by the record
breaking shipments of 1851, 279
net tons of finished steel products
in October, the first month of the
final quarter.
| For the three months ended
with September, deliveries of fin
ished steel amounted TO 5,084 $50
net tons. Net profits after all de-
auctions, including federal income
and excise profits taxes. totaled
$34,313,345 equal to $6.75 per net
ton of steel shipped out.
On the same basis per net ton,
the shipments of 1851 ,279 net tons
in October would result in a net
profit of nearly 12,500,000. After
allowing 81, 101 $40 for one months
proportion of the regular dividend
on the z per cent preferred. there
would be a balance of almost S10,.
100000, or approximately $1.20 q
share on common stock.
Results in both November anC
December should be sufficient to
bring the net profits for the final
quarter to somewhere around the
$500 a share earned in the three
months ended September 30. last
For the first nine months the-cor-
poration reported net profits
equivalent to $3.50 a common
share.
Around S12 a share for the
junior stock would mean net
profits for 1871 of around S129,-
000,0 900 to $4,000, 900. This would
compare with S102, 2l1 1892. or 1854
a common share in 1910 and with
Sal, 1894, equal to S1.83 share
in 1889.

Happily, il is very different

necks! There was one! Chaos,
chaos, chaos.
Railway Dictator McAdoo sent

Wandered him. and told him to
