attitude softened as they became

within the law and never be hurt
except by picking up hot solder

College authorities now give
positive encouragement. College
radio has taken its place alongside
college newspapers as campus
activity which not only serves a
valuable function in itself, but
gives vocational training of high
order.
Faculty members now cooper

A Wesleyan professor wrote and

When the Columbia station

of the authorities objected, but
their protest was quelled by a

that it was legitimate coverage of a
modern social phenomenon.

Dear Mr.. President:

Your proposal to me in Washington last
evening that the wage demand of the United
SteelWorkers of America-CIO be settled on
the basis Of a wage increase Of 1872 cents
an hour retroactive to January l. 1896 can
not, | regret to say, be accepted by the
United States Steel Corporation for the rea-
sons set forth below
AS you must be aware, your proposal is
almost equivalent to granting in full the
Unions revised demand of a wage increase
of 1912 cents an hour, which was advanced
by Philip Murray the President Of the Union
at our collective bargaining conference with
the Union in New York week ago today
In our opinion, there is no just basis from
any point of view for wage increase to our
steel workers of the large size you have pro
posed, which, if put into effect is certain
to result in great financial harm not only to
this Corporation but also to users Of steel in
general.
AS I have tried to make clear to you and
other Government officials during our con-
ferences in Washington over the past few
days there is a limit in the extent to which
We reached that limit when we raised our
offer to the Union last Friday from a wage
increase of 1912 cents an hour to one of Is
cents an hour. This would constitute the
highest single wage increase ever made by
our steel-making subsidiaries. Our offer of
Is cents was equivalent to meeting 500 of
the Unions original excessive demand of a
81 a day general wage increase Our offer
met 1870 of the Unions final proposal of a
wage increase of 1912 cents an hour A wage
increase of Is cents an hour such as we Of
fered, would increase the direct labor costs
of our manufacturing subsidiaries by APP
proXimately $60,000,000 year. That is a
most substantial sum, and does not take into
account the higher costs we shall have to pay
for purchased goods and services, when large
wage increases generally become effective
throughout American industry, as is newt,
able after a substantial increase in steel
wages
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1946-01-31
A Letter to the President
OF the United States

AS you know, collective bargaining nego-
tiations with the Union broke down at the
White House yesterday afternoon, because
Mr.. Murray then refused to bulge from his
position that a countrywide steel strike
must take place, unless steel workers are
granted general wage increase of 1919
cents an hour. Our offer of a wage increase
of IS cents an hour was again rejected by
the Union.
The Union threatened to go ahead With
its program for national steel strike at
midnight next Sunday, although such a
strike will be a clear violation of the no.
strike provision contained in our labor con-
tracts with the Union, which continue by
their terms until October Is, 1916
From the outset we have recognized how
injurious a steel strike will be to reconver-
sion and to the economy of this whole coun-
try. Most industries are dependent upon a
supply of steel for their continued opera
tons. We have done everything reasonably
within our power to avert such a strike. If
strike occurs, the responsibility rests with
the Union.
When the Government at the eleventh
hour informed us about week ago of it's
willingness to sanction an increase in steel
ceiling prices, we at once resumed collective
bargaining negotiations with the Union Such
price action by the Government was rec.
ogntion by it of the right of the steel in
dustry to receive price relief because of past
heavy increases in costs, something which
the steel industry for many months has I'M
successfully sought to establish with OPA
should like again to point out some per-
tinent facts relative to the wages of our
steel workers.
Since January, 1911, the average straight
time hourly pay, without overtime, of our
steel workers has increased more than the
$3.50 increase in the cost Of living during
that period recently computed by Govern.
ment authorities. Steel workers wages have
kept pace with increased living COSTS Such
average straight-time pay in our steel-pro-
ducing subsidiaries was Sill an hour IN
each of the months of September, October
and November 1915, excluding any overtime
premium and any amount for correction Of
possible wage ineQuties. An increase of Is
cents, in accordance with our offer, would

EMERIC DUSIC.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1946-01-31

raise such average straight-time pay to $1.29
an hour, placing such pay among the highest
today in all of American industry.
Under our offer of a Is cent increase, the
average weekly take-home pay of our steel
workers for forty hour week would amount
to $51 so, assuming that no overtime is in
Volved. This figure is only $4.54 less than
the actual average weekly earnings of these
employees, including overtime, in the last
full war year of 1914, when the average
work week was 46.1 hours The difference
is really less, because we will undoubtedly
continue to have overtime in the future lust
as we have at the present time In Novem.
Der, 1915, overtime premiums to our steel
workers aggregated more than 81 100000.
Such reduction Of $4.54 in weekly take-home
pay is the natural consequence of a shorter
work week of forty hours, and therefore one
of lower production.
Much as we desire to avoid a steel strike,
we cannot overlook the effect both on this
Corporation and on our customers and
American business in general, of the 1917
cent an hour wage increase, which you have
IN OPOoSu. CuCH d wage increase must result
in higher prices for steel than have pre-
vlouSly been proposed to us by the Govern
ment. Great financial harm would soon fol-
low for all users Of steel who would be Obliged
to pay higher prices for their steel, higher
wages to their employees and still have the
prices for their own products subject to OPA
control. Such a high and unjustified wage
scale might we'll spell financial disaster for
many of the smaller steel companies and for
large number of steel fabrcators and
professors The nation needs the output of
these companies Increased wages and in.
creased prices which force companies out Of
business can only result in rreparable dam.
age to the American people.
In our judgment, it is distinctly in the
pubhc interest to take into account the in,
furious effect upon American industry of an
unjustitied wage increase in the steel industry
After a full and careful consideration Of
your proposal, we have reached the conclu
sion above stated
Respectfully yours,
Benjamin F. Fairless,
President United States Steel Corporation

Tightening Of Law on
Trade

The new Congress will be asked
to tighten the law governing
commodity exchanges, Chairman
Thomas of the Senate Agriculture
Committee, said after a one-day
hearing yesterday on the recent
break in the cotton market
The Senator said legislative draft
ing experts were at work on bill
to transfer control over trading in
cotton, grain and similar commodi-
ties to the Securities and Exchange
Commission, or give the Department
of Agriculture more power to pre-
vent sharp fluctuations in the mar
ket.
Several spokesmen for Southern
cotton growers told the committee
the sudden drop in prices on the
cotton exchange came just as farm
ers were harvesting this years crop
and caused them severe losses.
Senator Thomas and j, E. Mac
Donald, Texas commissioner of Ag-
riculture, indicated it might hurt the
Democrats in the coming election.
j. M. Mehl, administrator of the
Commodity Exchange Authority In
the Agriculture Department. said he
was compiling record of all trans
actions on the cotton exchanges dur
ing the period of the drop for sub
mission to the Senate committee
The witness said, however, he die
not believe his agency had author
Iity to make public the names OF
traders, except where some viola
ton of law may be involved. Sen
ator Thomas indicated he thought
the names should be made public
when the report was completed. The
chairman said his committee will gc
into the whole subject of commodity
exchange regulation more fully after
the elections.
