' \ CHANGE | a | “WORLD! --- By SENDER GARLIN ie THOSE days when the giant corporations were begin- ning to squeeze the smaller business men out of existence, a whole school of writers developed whom the late Theodore Roosevelt contemptuously dudbed “muck- rakers.” Included in this group was Miss Ida Tarbell, who is soon to celebrate her 77th birthday. Time was when Miss Tarbell lifted the lid off the malodorous activities of the Reckefellers and their Standard Oil Com- Pany in a book which created a minor sensation way back in 1904, | In thick, heavily-documented, profusely illustrated volumes Miss Tarbell gave the story of the Rockefeller piracies, rebate schemes and cutthroat methods. In fact, so vigorous was her expose of the oil king and his gang that the liberal “Nation,” in a review published early in 1905, chided Miss Tarbell for her book and described her ex- Pose as @ series of “railing accusations.” * . (Those Trust-Busting Days ws TARBELL and her muckraking companions lived and thrived in that period when trust-busting was one of the chief activi- ties of the liberal journalists. In the pages of the American Magazine and similar publications they attacked monopolies and called for “regu- lation of the trusts.” Their frantic pleas represented the dying gasps of the small business men and middle class groups being crushed by the giant corporations of the country. While some of the muckrakers traveled over the length and breadth of the country exposing corruption wm municipal government and private corporations, others—carrying hymn books in their hands— sought valiantly to persuade the “Captains of Industry” that they could get along much better if they tried practicing the Golden Rule in their business. As for Ida Tarbell, she seems to have discovered in later years that her expose of the Standard Oil Company was an indiscretion of youth, For in later years she made amends for her brashness by writing a whole series of books which showed the more “kindly aspects” of those Captains of Industry about which she had written so harshly and unsympathetically. In 1916, for example, Miss Tarbell emerged with a book called “New Ideals in Business: An Account of Their Practices and Their Effects Upon Men.” This, however, was only a prelude to her master- work, a eulogy of that notorious labor hater and ynion-buster, the late unlamented Judge Elbert H. Gary, former chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, who was the leading figure in smashing the Great Steel Strike of 1919 with the aid of the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor. . The Spirit of the Golden Rule y es magic spirit of the Golden Rule dominates Miss Tarbeli’s “New Ideals in Business.” It is full of—oh, so many—wonderful things. She becomes lyrical, for example, about “an organization modeled after the Progress Club of the German-American Button Co., the Quality Club of the Hickey-Freeman Company of Rochester, N. Y.” This organization is truly a wonderful thing. “It is made up of the officers and directors of the firm, and the heads of the depart- ments and an elected representative of every 50 employees.” Miss Tar- bell goes on to say that “a list of committees will give a fair idea of the range of the club’s interests—the kind of look-in on the business which it gives. There are committees on ‘Quality of Merchandise,’ ‘Service to Customers,’ ‘Efficiency,’” etc. I may be all wrong, but my guess is that this marvelous organiza- tion is just a company union by another name. But it’s nevertheless the same kind of a rig-out which organizes clambakes, Hallowe’en parties for the boys and which announces that conditions in the plant are just fine and dandy. It was in 1925 that Miss Tarbell published her book on Gary. It was set up in fine, large type, was beautifully illustrated and the pub- lishers, with a sense for the artistic, put it out in an elegant binding. This is easy to understand, for this biography was achieved with the kindly co-operation of Mr. Gary, and there is no doubt that even if the book were not a best-seller, the steel-master would see to it that the publishers were not left in the lurch, Miss Tarbell, the rebel of the early '90’'s, was mellow and broad- minded in tone as its a biographer of Judge Gary, one of the most. ruthless exploiters of labor in the history of industrial America. “Judge Gary,” wrote Miss Tarbell, “is a likeable man, approachable, inter- ested in everybody's problems. His personal qualities have made him acceptable when, if he had been dictatorial or pompous, self-seeking or vain, he would have made far less headway than he has.” * * He Loved Horses UT this is by no means all. “He loves horses but keeps no racing | stable. It would not, in his judgment, be a gocd example. He is generous, particularly in what concerns the steel towns, the body of iron and steel workers. Hundreds know this, but the last thing in the world the public knows or what he would have it know, is what he gives.” I am willing to take Miss Tarbell’s word on the late judge's love for horses, but if you want first-hand details regarding the love that he displayed for the workers in the irori and steel towns in Western Pennsylvania, just read William Z. Foster's “Story of the Great Steel Strike of 1919.” Also don’t fail to gaze closely at the photograph of the mutilated body of Fannie Sellins, the steel organizer, who was beaten to death by hired thugs of the United States Steel Corporation. The same writer who exposed the highway robberies of the Stan- dard Oil Company unblushingly wrote that Gary “has great concern always about the personnel of the corporation, He knows the men from top to bottom, in a quite surprising way, and looks cut for them, fore- sees situations and is constantly warning his executives to look ahead.” Undoubtedly it is the same kind of “ warning to look ahead” as Steel Trust officiels gave to their executives to set up barbed-wire en- tanglements and bring in an army of gun thugs on the eve of the steel strike which William Green and his cronies in the A. F. of L, blocked several months ago. * What a Fine Man! ND of course we must not forget to mention Miss Tarbell’s per- fectly sweet book on Owen D. Young, big boss of the Morgan Gen- eral Electric Company, who helped fasten a 60-year debt yoke on the German people. Miss Tarbell described Young as “a new type of in- dustrial leader,” for which she was rewarded by having her book placed in the “Owen D. Young Library of English Literature for Col- lege Students.” I think Miss Tarbell is really entitled to a nice, quiet birthday. She has worked long and tirelessly in recent years, and has more than atoned for her ungracious remarks about the Standard Oil Company. Real Wages 10% Below 1929, Study of Earnings Shows By J. WALLACE YF we divide the index of average weekly earnings of the Bureau of Labor Statistics by its index of ticles which it contains according to the latest index figures on cost of living released by the B. of L. 8. we find that its costs range from | ganized by the official Nazi crimi- | nals. the cost of living over a period of years, we arrive at a rough approxi- mation of trend in the “real wages” of employed workers. The latest eomputation indicates that average esl wages” of employed workers, yesed even on these consecutive government indices, are now at least 10 per cent below the level of 1929. When we apply the index of the cost of living to a worker's family budget, however, we get a more con- crete picture of how far behind the workers have fallen in the struggle against statvetion. A so-called “minimum health and decency bud- get” was worked out by the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in 1919. ‘The inadequacy of this budget, in terms of present day needs. is now generally admitted even by the gov- ernment experts who prepared it. But even accepting this low min! mum budget, and pricing the ai $1,467 a year in Schenectady, N. Y., to $2,101 ni San Francisco, which cost of living cities in the country. Here is the latest pricing of this budget based upon cost of living fig- ures released by the government bureau for the six months ending June 30, 1934. It shows what this annual budget would cost at cur- rent prices and also what a some- what more adequate budget, called by the Labor Bureau, Inc., which compiled it, a “skilled workers’ bu: get,” would cost: ds Minmum Skilled Health and Workers’ Brazet Budget $1,762 $2,752 Brooklyn, N.Y. 1,855 no report Schenectady.

The London commission admitted the possibility that the fire had been kindled by Nezi order agency, but made no such charge, | since tangible evidence to support this version was lacking. | According to the French Inquiry Commission members, the story of Ernst Kruse supplies this missing tangible evidence and ties in with |, other evidence gathered during the past year, but never aired in pub- lic hearing. | To verify the facts, the American Inguiry Commission has resolved to | make the examination of Kruse an | important part of its coming eel ‘sions early in October.
