It is unfortunate that so many Americans
fail to realize the danger of tfhis and all
other free governments today and tragic that
so many Americans are indifferent to the
welfare of their country while they try to ex-
tract every dollar from the taxpayers during
such a crisis. Just why our government per-

While calling on thti public and our boys to
make sacrifices, is more than w« can under-
stand.
After successive triumphs over weak and
illy prepared nations for several years, the
German war machine has encountered its
first real resistance in its unprovoked attack
on Russia but are making rapid strides in

ing war. v»ir.

PHOTOGRAPHERS .... new*
The rodeo is definitely a western thriller, hut
several Easterners did themselves proud in the
arena; namly the news photographers.
Ordered by their newspapers to get thrilling ac-
tion pictures, several photographers, with large
cameras and pockets full of flash bulbs, were in
the arena from the beginning to the end of the
show facing wild bulls one minute and bucking
bronc9 the next. Their game seemed to be to get
as close as possible to each animal when it was
aciting up most—and many of them turned to snap
pictures on the run while being chased.
The photographers were a leading topic of in-
terest and excitement throughout the show and
more and more than one piece of camera equip-
ment was destroyed by a bull before the evening
was over. It wad the general opinion of the au-
dience that one' of the cash prizes should have been
put up for the most daring act of a newspaper
photographer.
The newspaper photographers wanted pictures
and more pictures, because the rodeo offers their
fcnnual opportunity to give Eastern newspaper
readers a taste of the West. When the outstanding
performers of the great open spaces gather togeth-
er within the confines of one New York building—
that’s news.

AUTRY .... Roger*
The star of the rodeo this year, according to
the program, was Gene Autry, famous cowboy of
screen and radio. But according to the applause of
the New York audience, Gene was the one let down
in the show. The most enjoyable, part of his aett,
applause showed, was when his two beautiful, spirit-
ed horses refused to jump through hoops put up
for them and, instead, trotted out of the ring leav-
ing Gene twiddling his thumbs.
The audience had come to see cowboys and to
them Gene was simply a Hollywood glamour boy
Whose pictures don’t appeal to them and who show-
ed no signs of cowboyishness except for being able
to make a smart horse do some remarkable danc-
ing. And New Yorkers gave all the credit for that
to the horse.

Big Salaries
Why do so many of the mana-
gers of industry detest the term
“profit sharing?” To the or-
dinary stockholder (that ]0W]y
worm who merely own, the busi.
ness hut has little to say about
its management) the term has a
friendly, hopeful ring. He visu-
alizes steadier and larger divid-
ends. His eardrums vibrate hap.
pily to the departing squeak of
the “walking delegate”_wflR
seems forever to be forcing tljB
workers to strike against their
will. He looks forward gleefully
to the day when the “sitdown
strike” is nothing but an histor-
ical nightmare; and he smiles in
mischievous anticipation of cutting
the managers’ salaries in half
with the asssitance of his new
partner.
Could this salary matter be the''
reason for managerial animosity]
toward the salvation of private!
industry? Does the idea 0fj
“profit sharing in industry” make'
the $200,000 per year executive
begin to wonder how, he can pos- ’
sibly survive on a meager salary
of $100,000?
There is little argument over
the claim of many stockholders
that executive salaries in num-
berless instances have risen be-
yond all reasonableness. But
what is Mr. Stockholder going to
do about it Does he expect to
make his puny voice heard in the
annual stockholders meeting, or
does he propose to go to a ma-
jority of the other owners and
persuade them to sign their vot-
ing proxies over to him so that he
can control the managers’ salar-
ies? No he doesn’t! Because it
would be next to impossible of ac-
complishment, and he feels that his
head might be softer than a stone
wall.

By far the most exciting event at the rodeo is
the wild steer wrestling contest.
In case you haven’t seen one, this act is as sim-
ple to explain as it is dangerous to perform. A

look sharper than daggers, comes rushing full

Many of the great industrial
concerns are dominated by smell
groups who own enough of the
stock to “get control.” These
groups will naturally not retain
in managerial positions men who
do not conform to their policies.
Their policies are, as a rule of
course, conceived with the welfare
of the business in mind, but there
have been so many cases where
selfisli interests have hurt the
small stockholder who must d
pend upon his dividends for
bread and butter. These sel
interests are perfectly willing to
pay magnificent salaries out of

get obedience in return.

pastime of the West. But it is an excellent dem-
onstration of the American1 type of sportsmanship,
as compared with bullfighting in other countries.
For in bullfighting, the odds are all against the
bull, but in steer wrestling, the animal scarcely
ever gets hurt. It’s the cowboy who takes all the
chances while the animal just goes through a
slight discomfort.
RODEO .... amateurs
New Yorkers, who think of thes West as starting
on the other side of the Hudson river, are having
this belief verified at thu rodeo in Madison Square
Garden where a cowboy from New Jersey is among
the competitors in the bronc riding contest. The
cowboys, New Yorkers are saying, come from Tcx-

WORTH WORKING FOR
“This is your country and my country. All
of us belong to it; all of us own it; all of us
help run it.
ou have a home here and I have a home
here. \VTe want to keep our homes. We want
to keep on living in them—pretty much the
same way we always have. Wit/h all
faults it’s a pretty good way of living.”
In those words William S. Knudsen sum-
med up the things that America is preparing
to defend. Today our industry is turning
out growing mountains of defense materials
and we are girding ourselves for sacrifices
so tha| we can preserve this “pretty good
way of living.”
If that is “not worth working for,” Mr.
Knudsen says, “then nothing is worth work-

talking about “taking the bull by the horns” but
never, except during the annual rodeo, get a chance
to see what that expression really means.
The rodeo is probably the most exciting event
witnessed in New York. Most other spectacles
planned to thrill Broadwayites have an artificial
flavor about them because audiences know ahead of
time that they consist of professional who have
perfected their acts and scarcely ever make mis-
takes. The* performers in the rodeo, however, are
amateur cowboys and cowgirls who have come
from the West in the hope of winning big money
prizes in competition with one another, and the
audience never knows what will happen.

was due to the foresight of the
Maritime Commission.
The right of self-defense is tne

aunt, ers—who usually own most of the
stock but have little to say—
would have labor’s support in
holding down salaries to suit
themselves and not the “control.”
This is but one of the many
props which profit sharing would
put under collapsing private in-
dustry. And collapsing it is, be-
cause no system on earth can in-
definitely withstand the internal
dissension inherent in the pre-
vailing industrial setup; govern-
ment guerilla warfare; labor lead-
er ^ibotage; and, in many cases,
1 exploitation by those in control.
Profit sharing would amalga-
mate the interests of owner and
worker and there would be no
further use for labor unionism.
It would fortify industry against
government control. It would do
away with government employ-
ment of' tens of thousands of em-
ployees made superflous by co-
operation instead of discord in
industry. It would incidentally
save for the stockholders millions
of dollars which many executives
are now being overpaid.
Government is fast getting a
stranglehold on both industry and
labor—though labor doesn’t seem
to realize it. Profit sharing
ing would save them both. Will
it arrive in time?
