Understanding Is Vital, Says E. P. Bass. That the public must educate Itself to thP jabor problem in this country, be cause it will eventually be called on to settle the great dispute between capital and labor, was the statement made by Robert P. Bass, former governor of Saw Hampshire, in speaking on “Ti e Public and the Labor Problem” Wed nesday evening in the Y. M. C. A. The struggle between capital and labor lias arisen on the one hand by labor’s desire to better itself by improving work ing conditions, bettering the hours, rais ing the wages and raising the standard of living. Cuptial has been accentuated by the desire to increase profits, to go into greater fields, cut competition, in troduce machinery and largo scale pro duction and organize into trusts. From the power obtained by these two opposing forces the economic organiza tion of the country has been threatened, said Mr. Bass. And the public has been the sufferer whenever they clash. Every strike and lockout means poorer produce and higher prices. And because the public bears the bur-1 don of this struggle it has a right to in terfere and demand that- the useless and wasteful experiments be stopped in the attempt to adjust matters. And for the very, reason that the struggle has not been already settled the public will not be able to settle it: that is, it is not educated in the problem. The news papers do not serve; neither do the trade journals. Jjr. Bass was high in his commenda tion; of the attempts at arbitration al ready made. It is one sure source to show the laborer and the employer that they, have common groundsf and common interests. The lecture was the second in a series given under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. on the economic problems of the United States. COMMITTEE APPOINTED FOR Y. W. NOMINATIONS President, Vice President, Secretary Treasurer, Five Advisory Mem bers to be Elected Mar. 9.

All big successful concerns, oil or otherwise, have made progress by the use o*f ample capital either borrow ed or procured through sale of stock or bonds. Today the financial situation is abnormal. A few years ago any oil company wTith production and standing could get money for expansion on its output. This is not the case, now, which is evidenced by the fact that Standard Oil, Sinclair, Associated, Texas, Henry Ford, Smith, Sears Roebuck and public utilities are all appealing to the pub lic for money and more money to carry on profitable ex - pansion. Chappell, like other concerns, with cash can make some highly profitable "investments in proven oil | lands or production, and by broad expansion now gain a 1 strong advantage and benefit from immediate produc- g tion and strong market. By waiting for normal condi- I tions the strong competitors will be on. the same footing. I Chappell can now make great strides by having a big 1 cash .reserve, and tor tins reason is asiung me puuiiu to become partners in its business. The company lias the opportunity that with the co-operation of your dol lars will be mutually of great profit and benefit. In the oil industry, unlike any other, there is no ‘place to stop, and the colosal oil organizations, with men of broad vision, never reach the goal of ultimate achievement, and must in the very nature of things con tinue to expand and prosper beyond the dreams of Midas. The future of oil is of unlimited scope in the affairs of the world and the onward march of civiliza tion, and the most scientific and logical combination of brains and money are measuring up to the requirements of the unprecedented world-wide situation.
