THE STEEL STRIKE
It-seems that the steel kings have
taken this as the opportunity to
strive for the “open shop,” that great
principle of humanity, justice and
equal treatment for their employes
for which every once in a while they
show so much anxiety! No tenet of
the obligations between man and man
is more sacred, to hear the ^aptains
of industry, than this same right of
the free American workman to seek
and find employment wherever he
can, without any regard to the unions.
And incidentally the fact that the
employer is in the anomalous posi
tion of defender of the “rights” of
the “downtrodden” workingmen
seems to be lost sight of.
Laying aside all sophistry, the dif
ference between the “open shop” and
the “closed shop” is the difference
between individual bargaining and
collective bargaining. Men in a
given employment are more liable to
drive a hard bargain when they are
intrenched in the “closed shop” and
are therefore dealing with the em
ployer as a unit than they would be
as individuals, each for himself, work
ing under “open shop” conditions.
Therefore it is only natural that the
matter-of-fact steel magnates should
desire the open shop. But why should
it be necessary to camouflage their
interest under the guise of protecting
the “freedom” and rights of working
men? And why should there be
workingmen who are weak-minded
enough to believe that they must seek
protection from their employers
rather than from their fellows? The
employer desires to have his labor
done at as low a figure as possible,
and adopts a certain policy in order
to accomplish this. The laborer de
sires to sell his labor at the highest
figure, and he adopts the only method
that is open to him—collective bar
gaining.
The employer knows that the
unions con not exist under open shop
conditions. For he can fill his shops
with non-union workmen-—and he
does so; he imagines that by em
ploying men who are not bound by
union ties he is serving his own in
terest best. The employe knows
also that the open shop means the
destruction of his union, and he bit
terly opposes it as a taking away of
his weapon of offense and defense.
The steel corporations of the coun
try seem to be working in harmony;
in other words, they probably have
an agreement, or a union of their
cwn. But they are opposed to the
organization of their employes and
will not negotiate with their repre
sentatives. It is a cold-blooded busi
ness proposition with them, and they
have staked success or failure upon
it.
Meanwhile the biggest industry oi
the nation is closed down awaiting
a settlement of the dispute, and the
country looks on. An opportunity
f.u the radical agitator who advocates
nationalization of industry is afford
ed, and he is no doubt taking advan
tage of it. And every great interrup
tion to business such as the present
one provides him with arguments.

WAREHOUSE CONGESTION
IS GIVEN AS CAUSE OF
HIGHER COST OF LIVING
LONDON, Aug. 28 (by mail).—One
cause for the high price of living,
against which all London is com
plaining, is given as the congestion
at the docks, Avhere whole cargoes
of food and other supplies are being
held up because it is impossible to
unload and distribute them to points
where they are needed. Government
occupancy of warehouses is given as
the principal reason for the conges
tion.
The western granery, which should
be filled with provisions for London,
is filled with uniforms for the Aus
tralian army, and other instances
equally irritating to the average Lon
doner are being cited.

service kit, wearing the familiar steel
casque of the Belgian army.

big game hunting, with elephants,
tigers, lions and other wild animals

scription “Troops departing.’’
