When the increasing tendency i, to Insist upon payment of unreas onable sums for every commodity and ( every service, so that the vicious whirl of advancement seems to be un ending, we think there Is a moral ob ligation on the part of every one to ne ill reasonable efforts to cheok tfcii carnival of greed and imposition. ien at some sacrifice. Fixed Prices t'rfwd . There is a growing discrepancy between different individuals and in terests. The man with a fixed Income ii more and more disadvantaged and he la helpless. He cannot increase his income to meet the increased cost of living. Therefore, it should be the ef fort of all to establish and maintain i reasonable basis of prices other wise the government must interfere." The attitude of the corporation on prices, Mr. Gary added, "has had con siderable Influence In preventing in creases in the general selling prices of steel, although some (manufac turers) have made them." "Moreover, it is believed that, the selling prices of most of the diverct fied products of the corporation, for the present at least, are high enough, thoughjt is pertinent to say that when, the actual value of the proper tlea and volume of business of the carporation are considered, the net return Is at least moderate." Reviewing last year's steel strike, Mr. Gary said: Stands for Oieii Shop "We stand for the open shop, which permits a man to work when and where he pleases, on terms mutually agreed upon, whether he does or does not belong to a labor union. "ff do not . combat labor unions as such. We, of course, acknowledge the natural right of labor to organ he; but we insist that a labor organ isation should be subjected to govern mental control and regulation like other organisations. Discrimination by law In favor of or against any particular class is detrimental to the Interests of the general community." Mr. Gary said that public approval of the recent decision of the United ate supreme court, refusing ts dis !ve the steel corporation, wag prac Ucally universal and added in this connection: "So far as the corporation and its wbsldlarles are concerned we shall not disregard the laws of the country f th public interest," It had., been the ambition of the "anager of the corporation, he con cluded, to prove that a corporation may be posseted of mind, heart and soul. . ence In the federal prison at McNeils Island, stand little chance of getting either the timber claims for which they contracted. -or the return of their money In the opinion of J.

Hundred of miners tele-! phoned their shift bosses that they had been turned back from work. About 13,000 men are employed in the var ious mines of Butte and of that num ber 8000 are in the employ of the Anaconda Copper Mining company. Plckots Busty Early. Under the leadership of men'of for eign birth, plcketers at an early hour stationed themselves on North Main street, on Anaconda road, and on other thoroughfares leading to the mines. As miners with buckets reached these streets they were turned back. Several streetcars loaded with miners were stopped in Centervllle and the men were dragged from the cars and sent down the hill. In several cases min ers were beaten by plcketers. No attempt was made by either offi cers from the sheriff's office Orthe police force to protect the men who wanted to fro to work. No arrests were made. At the police station and at the office of the sheriff it was said this morning that no complaints had been filed.
