Mr.. Shareowner, You Are Licked
If You Don't Fight Back Now!

dent of the United States-so
called by the steel-workers that
rather friendly gentleman in the
White House"-rusheS in to say
the unions must have whole hog,
and that the cost must be paid for
out of company profits.
That's where you come in, Mr..
Shareowner-becauSe it's your
money the rather friendly gentle
man" is talking about-and giving
away He wants to Cheapen-and
redistribute to others-savings
you expected would protect and
reward you now and in the future.
1t is palpably absurd to pretend
that such enormous increases in
costs can be paid for out of
profits-at least for long. Ulti-
mately, it is the public-all of us
who pay the bill. We will pay
for it, in part, in whatever price
increases occur. Well pay for the
rest in taxes, to make up for the
taxes the government dosen't COL
lect from the steel companies. If
that dosen't take care of it all,
we'll pay for it in higher prices
and diluted money, to the extent
that the government dosen't col
lect taxes and is forced to bor-
row-i.e., "create"-money to pay
its bills.
But even though the public ul-
timately pays the bill, the savers
and investors can be bent and
broken as they absorb these ini-
tial shocks. It's not only the
danger of galloping initiation
that's with us already. 1t is the
elimination of your income from
savings that is at stake in this
new stab at profits. Not a de-
crease, not a dilution, but an
elimination! And, the elimination
is not just of your savings but
of you as a free person!
The unions, public" members
of the Wage Board, United
States Senator, and even the Pre-
sident of the United States are
loud in proclaiming that the WSB
recommendations are just a catch
up" for the steel workerS-not
a bit unstabiliZing, and easily
payable out of steel company
profits. Every previous wage
price increase has started another
round of initiation.
Mr.. Murray claims he has to
have this unwarrented increase
because he fell behind other un-
ion officials and now wants to

ceilings become academic, and
controls over use of materials are
harder to defend as supplies gain
i'm volume.
And part of pressure comes
from restive congress, divided over
the governments seizure of the
steel industry, and beset by busi-
ness groups urging that they be
set free from controls.
Businessmen usually plug for
complete ending of controls.
Washington reports have it that
the control agencies themselves
would like to relax controls rather
than end them. One plan suggest
ed is to make price and material
controls inactive as long as goods
are selling below ceilings and ma
terials are in full supply-but to
have them ready to be slapped
back on if prices rise again or a
shortage in materials reappears.
Consumers might consider this
good insurance against another
rise in the cost of living. But
businessmen eye the suggestion
cody because, they say, it keeps
them from planning their purchas-
ing ahead. Also they say they may
be losing money on some items
and making it up on others
common merchandising practice
which won't operate under con-
trolS, nor under an off-and-on con-
troll system.
Many businessmen are also
plugging hard right now for re-
Taxation of credit curbs. The gov
ernment has made a few gestures
of this sort, but merchants say
they're not enough.
The housing industry, for ex-
ample, thinks it could find the
mortgage money, the materials
and the buyers for many more
homes this year, If credit controls
are eased. They say this is partic-
ularly true in the middle cost
range of homes, where high pay
m ent requirements discourage
many buyers at present.
Another thing adding incentive
to the decontrol movement is the
governments apparent interest in
printing the pump to offset the
slump in many industries.
Relaxing of curbs on commercial
building may be as much due to
pump printing as to the increasing
availability of materials. Projects
authorized for the next three
months total 1899, and will cost
726 million dollars.
That helps bolster the construc-
ton industry, one of the main
props now of an economy that
some businessmen fear is a little
shaky.

HIS GUN COLLECTION
COULD MAKE BIG NOISE

HARDIN, Mont-A boy who
trapped coyotes so he could get
his first gun has grown up-and
SO has his gun collection, now
totaling $50, pistols, $50 rifles and
a dozen shotguns.
Like most boys, Fred Weltner's
big ambition was to own a gun.
To get money, he took to trapping
coyotes out in the lonely Big
Horn River country near here,
where Custer stood against the
Sioux.
Fred soon stacked up enough
pelts to buy his first ritle-a %
caliber Remington. But one gun
didn't stisfy Fred and, in time,
he surrounded himself with hun
dreds.
Guns Have History
A look at Fred's collection is a
look at the Old West, for many of
his guns have history. Fred has
a -caliber pistol with an extra
hold on the trigger guard. 1t was
once owned by one of the Younger
brothers who rode with Jesse
James gang.
Another gun-a Colt Peace
maker of 1872-was found at
Leaf Rock Ranch where Fred
grew up. Fred has several old cap
and ball pistols, including some
used ir the '49 gold rush.
A "A Colt Frontier has also
found its way into Fred's arsenal.
It's the same type Billy the Kid
and Dutch Cassidy used in the
days of the shooting West.
Toy-Size Guns
In contrast to the big pistols of
the fresh-air outlaws are the
little toy-size vest-pocket models
once carried by barroom card
sharps. Fred has two gamblers
guns-a little 6-inch Colt 20 and
a Colt Al derringer, just over A
inches long.
Fred also has the first Lady
Smith gun, a .30-caliber pistol
rumored to. have been the pro-
perty of Calamity Jane. Wild Bill
Hickok was once the owner of
Fred's 1860 .32-caliber gun.
The oldest gun in the collection
is .56-caliber japanese pistol
made in 1900. This ancient weap-
on was fired by wrapping a piece

The World Today

NEW YORK (AP)-The steel
dispute may help bring closer the
day when controls over business
are relaxed, in the opinion of
many businessmen.
1t may be wishful thinking, but
they believe that by focusing pub
lie attention of wage and price
controls the steel dispute is likely
TO force government control agen-
cies to speed up their plans for
decontrol, all along the line.
They cite as evidence:
Defense Production Chief Fleis-
chmann says plans to relax con-
trolls on metals-other than cop
per- may be announced within
two or three weeks.
The curb on use of copper by
the construction industry is being
eased little now by new rules re-
garding inventories.
The government will let two and
a half times as many commercIaI,
community and religious buildings
be started in the next three
months as was permitted in the
three just past.
There are indications that much
more sweeping decontrol measures
than these are in the works for
the next few weeks.
Part of this pressure for decon-
troll is the easing of prices in a
number of lines-shoes, clothing,

(co-founder and trustee of the
Committee for Constitutional
Government for IS years. He
gives you this warning-out of a
lifetime of patriotic interest in
public affairs.)
Government officials are try
ing, again, to take more of your
income and savings-to give to
somebody else, at the same time
undermining all citizens consti-
tutional liberty. What are you go
ing to do about it?
You are a Shareowner in one or
more corporations. You are almost
certainly among the SO million
owners of u. S. Government
bonds, the 78 million holders of
insurance policies, the 70 million
with savings bank and other de-
posits or among the millions who
receive or expect to receive gov
ernment or private pensions. You
may have other savings as we'll.
You have already seen your
savings melt away under govern
ment-managed and government
promoted initiation. You have seen
government follow a consistent
policy-through initiation and tax
ation-of cheapening and rediS-
triuting your savings to others.
Now, in the steel fight, they're
out to take your income from
savings as well.
Union leaders are hungry for
power-and politicians need votes.
The way to get votes-or so the
Administration seems to thinks
TO satisfy, at any cost, the ever
mounting appetites of dominant
union officials for economically
unwarranted but politically saw
ory wage increases. The next logi-
cal step is to disguise and delay
the fact that it is the public which
ultimately pays for higher produc-
tion costs, by making the people
who save and invest $4,000 for
each steel worker in latest,
modern plants), take the first
shock of the enormously increased
cost of making goods.
It's a simple pattern. First, the
Wage Sterilization Board recon-
mends a wage increase of 26 to
30 cents an hour-with the So
called public" members hardly
able to conceal their union label
underneath. The union then an
nounces in effect a policy OF

Has Strange Specimen
The "pepperbox" or pepper
pot" guns are among the strang-
est in Fred's collection. They
have from four to six barrels
which revolves as the gun fires.
One is a six-barreled .30-caliber
Belgian "pepperbox' made in
1900, another a Remington 30
caliber Derringer rimfire with
four barrels.
Fred is proudest, perhaps, of
his Winchester rifles. He has
every model from 1866 to date.
He also owns every model of
Sharp's rifle.
His big collection takes a lot
of care--oiling and polishing. But
Fred spends lot of time think
ing how he can get more guns.

regain prestige for himself by
Catching up" with other labor
bosses. What a miserable excuse
for another inflationary wage
round!
The hollowness of the claim is
further wildly illustrated by Mr..
Phillip Murray's action two days
after the recommendations for
his 650,0O0 steel workers were
made. The proposals, he an
nounced would now be auto
matically applicable to the 500,
600 employees in the little and
big steel fabricating shops across
the country-just as though the
"catch-up" theory, the "ability-to
pay" or the application of wage
and price stabilization to these
companies had not even been con-
sidered by the Board in making
its recommendations If the in
crease should be applied, as Mr..
Murray demands, to this new and
heretofore unconsidered group,
will a price increase be granted,
il necessary? The pattern seems
clear. 1t will not. You, Mr.. Share
owner, in steel and all other
companies, will pay the bill.
But if the unions don't have
enough power already to force the
government to make you pay,
the government has an answer
for that. Impose the union shop"
force it on industry by govern
ment recommendations union
leaders can tell employees: That
way there is less opportunity for
resistance from the rank and file
to any tyranny that exists. That
makes it easier for union Off
cial to throw his weight around.
That makes it easier, Mr.. Share
owner, to take your money. That
gives the union officials still
greater political power over the
President of the United States
and other government officials.
Do you want to do something
about it? If you do-and you
certainly should-if you think it
is right to fight to save and enjoy
the fruits of your own savings,
you should wire, air-mail or send
a postcard to your Congressman
and your two Senators telling
them to:
/. Support Congressman Aliens
resolution to investigate what's
going on in WSB, who's running
it, and where they are taking us.
(The need for investigation on
all fronts is evidenced by the
news
2. Support Senator Dirksen's
effort to take away WSB's power
to recommend on such issues as
the union shop and other matters
that have nothing to do with
wage stabilization
3. Protest against any misuses
of war-granted powers, to force
through such biased settlements
as the President and Phil Murray
are now attempting to make.
4. Make this misuse of power
by labor monopolies an issue in
your community. Start discussion
in service clubs, among associates,
fellow shareowners. Organize
meetings to send protests to your
Senators and Congressman in
Washington. Speak up now, be-
il is too late.
