Suppose this was Your Business!
If the Govcrnmont had asked you to invest your money in a plant to supply
Government needs; and after the plant was Luilt, and had become useful for no
other purpose, the Government built a plant of its own, making your plant
irselcss and your investment valueless would that seem fair? ' '
That is precisely what Congress is planning for the Government jto do with reference
to our investment of $7,000,000 in an armor plant. . ' ' '
Reporting to Congress, Hon. II. A. Herbert, then Secretary of the Navy, said December .31, 189,6:
"The two. armor contractors, the Bethlehem Iron Company and the Carnegie Steel
Company, both entered upon the business at the request of the Navy Department."
Is it wise a It, fair for the Government to destroy a private industry brought into existence
to serve the Government, unless for reasons of compelling force? To show that no such reasons
exist, we make this offer to the United States Government: '
The Bethlehem Steel Company will manufacture armor plate for the
Government of the United States at actual cosf. of operation plus such
charges for overhead expenses, interest, and depreciation as the Federal
T-acLe, Commission may fix. We will do this for such period as the
(government may designate. '
Isn't that fairj The question is now before the United States Senate. !;

Strike?
Faced by demands from the conductor, engineers, firemen and brakemen
that woilld impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of
$100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose thaj this wage problem be settled by
reference to an impartial Federal tribunal.
With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads
' hiive no differences that could pot be considered fairly and decided justly by such
a public body.
Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration
The formal proposal of the railroads 0 the employes for the settlement of
the controversy is as follows: .
"Out v.nftmif-'a hare dtmonitrated that w cannot harrnonii our dil?fri ( opinion and that irentually tht
nutirri in mnirovcray mull be paaied upon by other and disinteraattd agencies. Therefore, wc propose that your 1

Leaden Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote
Leaders of the u ain service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New
York, June 1-15, refused the otfer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration
or Federal review, und the employes are now voting on the question whether
authority shall be g:. to these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike.
I he Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the
public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons:

The Intentate Commerce Commission, with its eon.
trol over rates, is in 1 posltivu to make t complete
Investigation and render suck decision as would pro
tect the interests of the railroad employes, the owners
of the railroads, and the public.
A Question For the Public to Decide
The railroads -feel' tHat they have no right to grant a wage preferment of
$100,000,000 a vc;r to these employes, now highly paid and constituting only
one-fifth of al! :h.- employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that
siuil determine the merits of the case after a review of all the factf.
The sing!: issue btfore the country is whether this controversy it t it stttltd by an
impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.
