STEEL INDUSTRY
WRONGS
Would Be Hid Disguised By
Abuse
New York.—The steel industry's
12-hour day cannot be remedied by at
tempts to discredit those who have
called attention to these conditions
said Bishop Francis J. McConnell
chairman of the interchurch world
movement's commission that investi
gated the steel strike. This report is
now attacked by Marshall Olds,
publicity man in this city, who has
written a 500-page book on "The
Analysis of the Interchurch World
Movement Report on the Steel Strike."
Bishop McConnell says the commis
sion stands by its investigators and
its report. "All the loose and wild
charges about the investigators as
bolshevists and anarchists," said the
churchman, "were perfectly well
known to the members of the com
mission and the interchurch officers
and after thorough investigation
were contemptuously thrown aside.
"Once again the members of the
commission urge their report of the
hours, wages, and conditions in the
steel industry upon the public for
careful reading and re-reading. The
12-hour day is still the rule of the
continuous production departments
of the steel industry, and undemocrat
ic and un-American conditions of con
trol still characterize many of the
largest steel plants."
OIL STOCKS INCREASE
New York.—Complete returns from
every Standard oil affiliate shows
that the recent wave of stock divi
dends has resulted in an increased
capitalization of more than $1,000,
000,000. The former total capitaliza
tion is $1,747,363,885.
In addition to this increased capi
talization the companies paid out
$129,029,865 in cash dividends.
Tom Sims says: What this country
needs is onions top polite to smell in
company.

Trust Prepared
Angel" Advertis
ing Agent
York.—Like a snarling grlr-
zly with a sore toe the steel trust
has been squirming ever since the in
terchurch world movement published
its probe of the steel strike. The
trust is hard boiled, but it is not too
tough to ignore criticism.
Marshall Olds, an advertising agent,
comes to the rescue of the trust. He
has written a 500-page book to show
that the church men's report is wholly
unreliable. Mr. Olds claims the
steel trust was wronged by radicals
who led the well-meaning church men
astray. Even "liberals" were hi the
plot, according to Mr. Olds.
The tale real like a story from
fairy land. First, the wicked strik
ers then the justice-loving clergy
men who were deceived by radicals
and "liberals" and then Mr. Olds,
spurring across the plains, like the
knight of old, to rescue the distressed
steel trust.
Mr. Olds has devoted two years to
prove the trust's innocence. He has
received no money from the trust
not one single kopek. His only de
sire is to seek the truth and announce
the same to a victimized world.
Dr. Jeremiah W. Jenks, of New
York University, blesses the book, and
in a foreword he lectures the clergy
men for venturing into the industrial
field. According to Dr. Jenks it takes
special training to investigate a 12
hour day, a seven-day week, outrages
by cossacks and denials of free speech
by steel-owned public officials.
Neither Mr. Olds nor Dr. Jenks dis
cuss the cause of the strike, but they
show much alarm because some church
men printed some affidavits that they
now declare are false. No mention is
made of Judge Gary's refusal to meet
representatives of his employes. The
steel executive said he favors the anti
union shop. When the strike started
the trust's publicity agents realized
Judge Gary's reply was a poor de
fense for the trust. Then, and not
till then, was it discovered that the
strikers were attempting to over
throw the government.
The Olds book and Dr. Jenks' fore
word will make a fine alibi for the
trust.
HIDE PROFITS TRICKS
LAW
Washington.—The intricacies of big
business, and the methods it employs
to hide profits and evade the law were
revealed in a senate committee by
A. E. Hinch, comptroller of the Stan
dard Oil Company, jf New York.
The witness said his company turn
ed over its ocean vessels to the Stand
ard Oil Company of Hong Kong. The
Oriental Company then leased the
boats to the Standard Oil Company
of Delaware, and the latter company
operates the boats for the original
owner at a set rate.
The witness acknowledged that his
company owns Standard Oil of Hong
Kong, and that the latter company has
a surplus of $24,000,000. The wit
ness also stated that his company
Standard Oil of New York—made net
earnings of $11,104,165.80 the first
six months of 1922.
"BARGAINS IN LABOR"
Washington. In announcing its
list of available office employes in a
confidential bulletin to local business
men, an employment agency in this
city says:
"We have many other excellent bar
gains in all types of office help."
This agency also assumes to "edu
cate" business men on the questions
of the day. In discussing the stock
dividend it says the stockholder is not
enriched, but—
"Many of the companies that have
declared large stock dividends are
continuing to pay the old rate on tl
increased amount of stock and to that
extent the stockholders will be bene
fited in actual cash income in the
future."
HUGE OIL PROFITS
Washington.—The Magnolia Petro
leum Company, since its organizatioi
in 1911, has made dividend payments
either in cash or stock amounting to
$89,564,000, a senate committee was
told by W. C. Proctor, the company'
treasurer. The company is a Stand
ard Oil unit.
ROADS DROP DEMANDS
New York.—It is stated that many
railroads have withdrawn their de
mand for wage decreases before the
railroad labor board. This move
ment affects the transportation'em
ployes.
STATE UNIONS TO MEET
Dallas,Texas.—The executive board
of the Texas State Federation of La
bor has selected this city for the an
nual convention, to convene Monday
May 21, next.
TO OUTLAW OILED
MILK -X%i
Washington.—A bill rioW pending
in the senate would prohibit the man
ufacture and sale of evaporated or
condensed skim milk to which a cheap
vegetable oil has been added to take
the place of butter fat which has been
extracted.
It is shown that manufacturers of
this oiled milk make two enormous
profits. Their first profit is when they
extract the butter from the whole
milk and sell it and the second is when
they doctor this skim milk with cheap
oil and place it on the market under
pleasant-sounding trade names. The
stuff has absolutely no value, and is
downright harmful because it is given
to babies as a food. Manufacturers
of condensed milk declare ft is ruining
that industry.
CHILD LABOR
CONTROL
Urged at Senate Committee
Hearing
Washington. President Gompefti,
Miss Grace Abbott, of the federal
children's bureau, and other speakers
urged a sub-committee of the senate
judiciary committee to favor the child
labor amendment to the federal con
stitution proposed by Senator McCor
mick shortly after the United States
supreme court set aside the law that
would tax profiti of child labor. The
authors of that legislation intended to
make child labor expensive and based
their act on supreme court decisions"
like the oleomargarine and state bank
rulings, which held that it was legal
to tax oleomargarine and state banks
out of existence. When this was at
tempted, in the case of child labor,
the court held the act was illegal.
The McCormick amendment empow
ers congress to limit or prohibit the
labor of persons under 18 years of
age. Amendments on this subject are
also proposed by Senators Johnson,
of California, Lodge, of Massachu
setts, and Walsh, of Montana. Or
ganized labor and other opponents of
child labor are supporting the I®c
Cormick amendment.
CAN MONOPOLIZE
AGENTS
Washington.—The United States
supreme court has ruled that the Cur
tis Publishing Company, of Philadel
phia, has the right to stop its whole
salers selling or distributing maga
zines or newspapers of other publi
cations. The federal trade commis
sion ruled that the company's policy
was against the law.
In setting aside the commission's
decision, the court said the company's
contract was one of agency and not
of sale and therefore was not prohib
ited by the Clayton act. Chief Jus
tice Taft and Associate Justice Bran
deis dissented.
They'll bring you
back for another
pack. They're
just that good,
believe me.
