R omcu:. owm AND CITY PROCEEDINGS IS CAPITAL STRIKING FOR PROFIT? If it is wrong for labor to check production by quitting work, in a time of shortgae, is it not just as wrong for capital to-check production by closing its factories? This accusing parallel is drawn by employees of the American Woolén company, which has recently closed many of ‘its plants in Massa- chusetts ‘and Rhode Island. Representatives of the employees insist that thls is nothing less than a ‘“strike” on, the part of capital, intended to keep up prices, just as labor strikes for higher wages. . In so far as it is cal- culated to hurt'production, they argue that 1t is in . violation of the Lever Act. They also. argue that it is morally. wrong, inas- much as it tends to deprive. the :public of sorely needed woolen_ cloth, and force consumers to pay ex ., tant prices for what they get, and also im- poses ‘hardship on thousands of families by, throwing people out of work unnecessarily. This is true, if the so-called woolen trust has really closed its mills for the 9'{"}‘ cburged lnd not, as it maintains, Arom ‘necessity, bwing to a" ‘lack" of orden to keep the plants running. Whether there was enough business to keep the phnu gomg could probably be determined from an examination ‘of the company’s books.. The matter is not limplo, hwevez. The element of price en- 2 at the very beginning, If there was a Hck of ‘new orders, was it because the, ‘manufac- fin'ers .asked too much’ for their cloth? Undoubt- lower prices would have stimulated business. e president of the company explains that “the m.lrgm of profit as fixed last February would not permit of a reduction in‘the price of cloth.” But \:v'as that margin a fair one, or a profiteering one? »Interest is lent. to: the controversy: by the fact that in the same cities_where the “trust” plants have. closed, the “independent” woolen mills are mn operating. Surely here is somethmg that the federal depart- ment of justice should look into. Either a wronged ‘corporation should be justified or a wronged public . should be protected.‘ It ig.no time. to -tolerate “cnpltal stnkes f VIS T THE UNIVERSAL AILMENT. “Theatres and picture houses continue to multi- .. ply, and always there is a fight for seats.
