The unions have bought to invade
steel for years. Their way has been
made difficult by the clever antiunion
policv of the t'nitcd States Steel Cor-
"oration.
Wages in Steel Advance .
Wages in steel have advanced mote
than iVuny other industry. A pension
system has been adopted to the em
ployes of the company, employes have
been encouraged to become stockholders
to further interest them nnd make them
insusceptible to union arguments. Steel
'icninius the one big field untaken by
friiuion labor.
There is reason for believing that Mr.
Gnmpcrs has told the President that he
will wmU with him for industrial peace,
for a moderate union policy. But that
theie must be a price, the extension of
the unions. This prite is essential to
the picsenation of Mr. Gonipers and
of his program. He must be able to
' justify himself bv his works.

short word in four letters beginning with

kTlie pressure of conservative busi
ness generally which has submitted to
unionization upon u business like steel,
which has not, will be considerable. It

That is the emphatic reply of the retail merchants of the United States to the charge
that either their greed or their inefficiency is responsible for high prices.
Thepe are some profiteers among them but no one is working harder to expose and
punish these crooks than the great body of honest retailers.
This whole question of "retail profiteering" is thoroughly discussed in the September
3d ifjsue of the
The News-Magazine of Retail Business
Retailers have been charged with many crimes against the public welfare. For 'awhile
they said nothing. -Now they are 'aroused and fighting back at their accusers.
'But more than that THEY ARE WORKING OUT DEFINITE, PRACTICAL
PLANS BY WHICH THEY WILL HELP REDUCE THE COST OF LIVING FOR EVERY
BODY. Although in no measure responsible for high prices, they are in a position where
thay.can exert a powerful influence on the other factors that are to blame. '
