In the report cf the steel trust
conditions, from the owners’ point
of view, were never so prosperous.
That’s the outside of the picture and
no one but a pessimist ever looks at j
the back of an Old Master and con- j
aiders the cobwebs and typhus germs
and dangerous bacilli that lurk with
in its dusty covering. The working
conditions in the Steel Industry
which now is making such rosy re
ports are just as rotten as any con
dition in industry can bo in the
worst exploiting country in Europe.
Long hours, appallngiy frequent ac
cidents, innumerable deaths, mann
ings, wages at or under the subsist
ence point, industrial subjection of
the most degrading type—these
things are the foundation of the
globular millions upon which the
steel trust's glorious prosperity is
founded for its watered stock.
Still, as no one looks at the back
of the picture these things do not
matter. They will in any event at
tend to themselves and in that day
of wrath there will be little talk of
dividends and loss of commercial
prosperity.
Hut despite the rosy condition 01
the industry Judge Gary emits a
croak of warning like a raven as the
bird of ill omen. Things are good
now, he declares, but after the w\u
look out. The country will face the
most intensive competition it has
ever been called upon to face anti
then—the Judge shudders to think
of u’liat will happen unless a pro
tective tariff wall is built up to pre
vent the entry of foreign made goods j
from Europe. Doubtless the Judge I
had in mind memories of a very j
pleasant dinner with a very pleasant;
gentleman named Roosevelt and he
bethought him what a fortunate
thing it would be for him and is
prandial associates if the Colonel
were head of an administration and
a majority party distincly commit
ted to High Tariff of a cast iron
protectiveness.
However that may he, it is no
trivial mater any way to endeavor
to piece out a vision of what wiil
happen after the war in Europe is
over. To be sure much depends upon
when it is over, but without any
doubt it will be over some time.
Any person that imagines that
Europe will then present for us a
ruined civilization never again to be'
rebult is we think forgetful or ig
norant of the facts of history. The
way of retrogression has been the
way of conservatism, the way of
the crystalization of peaceful
customs. China at one time reached
an elevated plane of intelligence
that was approached even distant!)
by no nation whatsoever . Centuries
of peace uninterrupted by any
dreams of conquest except small in
ternecine wars of na magnitude
served to impress upon the nation
the sanctity of ancient forms, ana
the worship of ancestors. Hence
the mistakes and the errors and
follies of ancestors were part of the
national existence and were the na
tional religion.
The conservation of anything
means quite the reverse of any such
thing as consorvaCsm as we collo
quially understand the teim, and the
most radical changes in the ways ot
life off nations means also the
most driving period cf progress.
The social and progressive value ;
of the French revolution h-s never
boon aptly nppiai.-.od, and despite 1
the fact that Napoleon’s warn spent 1
mono wealth and destroyed more 1
pr,j iperity and ruined mere lives 1
than over before, the French people 1
never wore so well off and so really 1
prosperous as after those wars. The
great war between the British im
perialism and the Napoleonic visions j
of Empire cost the British nation
fabulous sums and priceless lives;
but within a short period British
trado roached standards of activity
and wealth production unknown
previously throughout the world.
The war in Europe will have a
similar effect. It is not a war, it is
a revolution. The institutions of
today are being subjected to an acid
test that may operate slowly and
invisibly to us, but it is never the
les3 inexorable. Those things that
will be found wanting will be de
stroyed and the tree that bears no
fruit will be cut down and cast into
the burning. It is impossible to con
ceive social or industrial changes 01
this nature taking place in Europe
without similar changes being re
refloctcd in the United States, and
when that happens, the troubles of
Judge Gary will not be concerned
with intensive competition or other
wise, nor with the necessity for
ariVior plated tariffs or otherwise,
but with the back of the picture.
The glorious visions or the financial
! artist that has painted fanciful ima
ginings of golden millions with all
the weird extravagance of a futurist
will bo turned to the wall. It will be
the day of house cleaning and the
people of this country will, doubt
less to the consternation of Judge
Gary and the steel kings as well as
other industrial monarchs who view
with apprehension even now the dis
loyalty of their industrial subjects
concern themselves with the cobwebs
and the dangerous germs that lurn
j in the back of the frame.
The riots in Youngstown were >
alarming. Hut which among the j
press of the United States has drawn
the exact relation between the
enormous profits of the Steel trust
and those riots? Who ever docs? Yet
I the day is certainly coming, distant
I still may be and slowly approaching
I but none the less inevitably, when :
j that relation will not only be real-j
! ized but explained and not only ex
plained but adjusted, measure for i
measure.
One would imagine that the Garys
would give this possibility of post
helium significance some publicity
Or is that it is the dreaded thought
which even now inspires defense
leagues and other disguised prepara
tionist plans whereby the house may
never be cleaned and the only vision
ever witnessed by the well favored
few will be the picture of continued
prosperity?
After the big war is over, there
fore, it is safe to conclude that In
but few countries will thj preseut
industrial conditions remain. Cer
tainly an accounting will be demand
ed and reports from every country
involved in the war shows that no
scruples of perverted patriotism
when the fight is over are going to
prevent that.
it is possible but not probable
that during this social up-heaval the
United States shall remain economi
cally intact. There is no reason to
relieve that in other countries whlcn
have been behind the United In
many social conditions will advance
in abolishing the evils of the system
while the hings catalogued in the
report of the Industrial Relations
Commission, in welfare organization
reviews and surveys will still re
main.
Industrial serfdom Is positively an
accomplished fact in the United
States steel industry; so positive in
fact that bosses and foremen, under
lings of the industrial barons, as
revealed in the conditions during
the strike at M’Kees Rocks, have
reverted to an introduction of the
jus priiuae noctis. The disgraces ot -
civilization in slum and industrial
cess pools will undoubtedly go, and
possibly and very probably and un
regretfully also the necessary con- 1
comitant. thumping big dividends '
that have so rejoiced the Garya.
