Will some one please show the steel
trust how ages can be cut when profits
are smashing all records?
Southern manufacturers of pig iron
have cut wages 12% per cent and the
same cut is enforced in the Connellsville
(Pa.) coke district.
Wages in the steel trade were slightly
raised last year when the n and 12 hour
day were abolished, but a return to the
old rates is out of the question, because
of profits. It is expected that the steel
trust will show a net gain of more than
$50,000,000 for the last three months.
While the unorganized workers in . the
pig iron industry have waged no strike
in recent years, the nation-wide steel
strike and its monumental cost to the
trust is still recalled by those who think,
but do not talk, wage reductions.

1 lest an uncurbed industry might be-
come a moloch; and it will be necessary
to open the doors by clearing obstruct-
inve legislation.
Understanding is the key to the
elimination of industrial waste and co-
operation can obtain only where indus-
trial relations conform to these basic
principles, Mr. Gompers informed the
conference. The regularity of employ-
ment is the aspect in which labor is
fundamentally interested, he said. “We
labor men participating in this confer-
ence are fully aware of the importance
of this aspect of the study as well as
of our serious obligation, not only for
the conservation of the power resources
of our nation, but for the conservation
of those who are an integral part of
the nation itself.”

President Samuel Gompers of the J
American Federation of Labor, look- •
ing the picture of health as he submit- i
ted to a fire of questions from report- J
ers, came to Harrisburg, Pa., to take J
part in a conference on super-power «
called by Gov. Gifford Pinchot. I
Participating in the conference, aside I
from President Gompers and Governor •
Pinchot, were President James P. Noo- i
nan of the Brotherhood of Electrical J
Workers; President William H. John. *
ston of the International Association of ।
Machinists; O. S. Beer, engineer, re- ,
presenting the machinists; technical I
representatives of the power industry, •
and representatives of the public. i
President Gompers declared that in- J
dustry is just beginning to realize how ‘
intimately labor is concerned with i
technical progress. ।
“No social group, he said, “is more J
concerned for the increased develop- 1
ment of power resources and lowering ।
the cost of power than are the users of J
the tools of industry and commerce. j
“More abundant power at lower rates ।
means more machinery, increses the ।
productive capacity of the tool users. I
and cheapens commodity costs. These 1
in turn mean higher standards of ।
living.” ।
Mr. Gompers declared that labor 1
welcomes technical progress. “To state ।
the case in terms of industrial rela- J
tions, he continued, “as wage earners 1
and workers, we ask opportunity to i
participate in the development of in- 1
dustry as an organized group.”
Six suggestions for the power indus- 1
try, which Mr. Gompers believes “will ।
be the most important determining ele- ]
ment in the social and economic life of 1
the future, were .offered at the confer- ।
ence. They were: ।
“First—It is required that there be ]
a full and frank acknowledgment on i
the part of the whole country of the ,
role which labor has to play and of its ]
ability to offer co-operation in practical ।
operation. ,
“Second—.With labor’s role fully ac- '
knowledged, there must then be a con- ]
sciousness on the part of the whole i
industry that those who operate the ,
’ industry in all of its branches are en- ]
trusted with vital functions and have j
obligations to those within the indus- i
try, to the natural wealth brought into ,
use and to other industries and the ]
people as a whole.
“Third—The experience of the in- ।
dustry must determine to a large ex- '
tent how to organize the factors with- J
in the industry on a democratic basis i
that runs parallel to its functions, so ,
as to discharge these various oibliga- I
tions with justice. . 1
“Fourth—With experience as a guide
in the application of the principle there
must come into existence joint repre- '
sentative bodies, in which every useful
element within the -industry. may have
