The month of May is with us again, and
it is just natural to begin thinking about the
graduation of seniors from the various high
schools here and over this land of ours
May brings to a climax for seniors very
important twelve years of living under the
protective guidance of parents and teachers.
It concludes period of education involving
many phases that prefaces wholly new con-
cept of living, as for the first time in their
lives a new era of self discipline and self
maintenance reaches out for them.
1t is true that for the most parts, plans
have already been made for continued years
of education in colleges and universities But
even here it is a different story than the
grade school and high school years at the old
home town. No longer will the Influential
patterns of relatives and friends be the di-
recting force, but rather the youth will be-
come dependent upon their own resources,
resources that will mature their thinking and
steady their ambitious approaches to aspira-
tions and goals.
New worlds of friendships, new worlds
of experience in far away places and con-
cerning strange things, new endeavors in de-
termining right from wrong, and new thrills

MORE INITIATION?
BY George Peck

To the american Iron and
Steel Institute" we are in
debted for a copy of 4 booklet
Economic Trends In The Iron
And Steel Industry" which it
has just published. This book
let covers initiation, wages,
productivity, profits and COM
petition as these things affect
the iron and steel industry. AS
steel is the basic commodity,
the things that affect it and
which it affects, are vital to
every citizen of the u. S. A.
AS steel goes, so goes Amer
ica," to paraphrase an old say
ing.
At this time, steel is of
particular Importance because
representatives of the steel
companies and the United
SteelWorkers of A m + i C a"
shortly will meet to negotiate
an important labor contract.
The outcome of these negotia-
tions will determine whether
or not the nation is to be or
not to be in for another "dose"
of initiation.
After stating that initiation

Taxes-and most particularly excise
taXes-can reach point of diminishing re-
turns. In other words, they become SO high
that sale of the products to which they apply
sag and in the long run government gets less
revenue than it would from lesser tax
This principle applies to almost every
thing that is taxed today by federal and state
governments. Take gasoline tax for example.
Right now the average motorist is paying
these two taXes-state and federal-to the
tune Of nine cents per gallon or 40 percent of
the retail price of gas excluding tax.
Now it has been proposed that the fed
eral tax be boosted to a whopping so percent
or from three to four and half cents per
gallon.
At the same time the state of Ohio wants
to take their share in this manner and they
are proposing another state tax on gasoline
as a source of revenue.
1t seems to us that such a taxation pro-
gram might have a retarding effect upon gas
oline sales and in many instances motorists
may curtail their purchases SO that lesser

Gentlemen:
A mans right to work at his

Labor bosses have signified
their intention of an all-out drive
to repeal Section lab of the Taft

states the right to enact laws to

the states should enact their own
Right to Work laws and that the
issue of compulsory union men,
bership should be dealt with on
the state level
The committee is devoting its
full time and effort to a program
of education. 1t is working con-
tinuously to bring to all citizens
an understanding of the Right to
Work issue and the dangers OF
compulsory union membership.
Right to Work is the high

products and services cost
more, the booklet says:
To-day there is a new kind
of initiation operating. It is
called 'wage-push' because it
results from the ability of
unions to force wage costs and,
therefore, production costs
higher. AS President Eisen-
hover said in his State of the
Union Message, January 9,
1859: 1.-TWO of the most impor-
tant of these (basic causes of
inflation) are the Wage-price
spiral and continued deficit
financing.
The booklet agrees with
President Eisenhower tn
these two causes are related
and explains that the wage
push initiation develop as fol-
lows:
/. IT is powered by union
labor monopoly. Through their
power to call strikes, some
unions can close down all or
part of an industry until their
terms are met. Data on union
concentration show that even
in 1916, such important indus
tries as automobiles, cement,
clothing, rubber, shipbuilding
and steel had over 80 percent
of their employees under union
agreements.
2. Strong pressure leads to
hieh cost wage settlements.
When large segments of GER
tain industries are struck, it
is not long until other impor-
tant industries are affected and
the key areas of the company
begin to shut down. Then
mounting pressure on employ
ers for a quick settlement
comes from MANY Sources-cuS-
toners, government or general
public. The final settlement
almost always includes wage
costs so high that prices are
forced up.
In testifying before the Ke-
fauver Committee in 1857,
Roger M. Blough, Chairman of
the Board. U. S. Steel Corpora
ton, explained most clearly
how the wage pressure de-
velops in the steel industry
Said he:
'To enforce what we regard
as inflationary wage demands
the Union has struck our plant
five times in the past clever
years; and we have taken these
costly strikes in an effort tt
halt the line against initiation
But hardly has one of these
strikes begun before there is
nation wide demand that w,
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1959-05-14

settle it. Our customers must
have steel or close their plants.
Their employees face layoffs
and loss of pay. The govern
ment, too, must have steel;
and the daily pressures against
us keep building up. And ulti-
mately-if we do not settle
we may face the threat of
government intervention, as
happened five years ago when
the then President of the Unit
ed States seized our plants
illegally and sought to grant
the union demands in full"
3. The consumer pays the
bill. 1t is he who pays the high
er prices resulting from ever
higher labor costs. Excessive
wage increases could not be
paid out Of profits--even were
it feasible to completely elimi-
nate profits.
a. Labor tends to- price itself
out OF the market. If rising
labor costs force prices so high
that the people refuse to buy
the product, there will be less
production and fewer jobs.
5. Wage-push initiation acis
like tax ON everyone for the
special benefit of the wage
push groups.
6. The wage-push operates
unevenly AMI unfairly. Groups
that can push hardest get the
LARGEST wage increases. But
others that can push very little
or not at all, such as teachers
or people living on fixed in
comes, may get little or no in
creaseS in wages or other in
come.
Would that space limitations
permit passing on here the
many more vital facts covered
in this American Iron and
Steel Institute booklet How
ever, those enumerated should
inspire every reader of this
column to hope and pray that
the forthcoming negotiations
between the steel companies
and the United Steelworkers
of America, will not result in
pay-raises for the steelworkers
that will force higher prices for
steel, thereby touching off
higher prices throughout the
entire economy, and inflictine
