WN EQUAL CHANCE TOMEN AND MONEY, OR ANARCHY GARY ero oem No Objection to Inquiry Into Uses of Capital, if Labor Is Treated the Same. WANTS AN OPEN SHOP. Looks for Increasing Prosperity in This Country as the Months Go By. SYRACUSE, June 13—E. H. Gary, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the United States Steel Corpora- tion, told Syracuse University stu- dents in a commencement address to- @ay that capital is necessary to the Progress and prosperity of evory country and any people. The only alternative to it, he declared, was the @marchy or sovietism now gnawing @t the vitals of Russia. If the pov- ple of Americ, would study the facts e@bout th's vital question, he said, there would be :; epidemic of soviet- fem here. Capital and the rights of etl people would be conserved. dn this country the door of oppor- tunity is open to both capital and labor and neither, he said, should be permitted to abuse it. He expresscd ‘the opinion that there might be no objection to a fair and reasonable law subjecting organized capital, ox- @veding certa'n amounts, to Govern- | Mental inquiry and resteiction in ite “provided organised Jabor be subjected to the same Speak ng on the relations of capi- tal and labor, Mr. Gary said that then two intevcsts recognize ther interdependence, but that outsiders often seek to antagonize them. Ho declared, however, that the majority of employers or managers of busi- are more solicitous for the we!- re of the workmen and do more to Promote their comfort and happiness than outsiders ever have done or were disposed to do. Labor was never im the world's history more h ghly Tespected nor treated as liberally as to-day, he declared. It had bon demonstrated to be profitable to the employer to treat the workmen falr- Jy and this would insure the latter full justice. THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE SOVIETISM, Laying stress on the necessity of ecrpital, he said: “Money is ossen- tial to provide fac'lities for prepar- ing one to accomplish the best re- sults in any profession or calling. ‘The material progress and prosperity of any and every country ‘are to an enormous extent the result of large capital. Without these the inhabi- tants would be neither havpy por comfortable. “For a desirable and proper degree of comfort, contentment, happiness, advancement in any direction, pro- tection against disease and destruc- tion, every inhabitant of every land is dependent wpon individually accu- mulated capital. “The only alternative which has been suggested is that the Govern ment shall forcibly take possession and contro) of all capital and dis- tribute the Income derived from it among the people per capita. This would inject into the natural system of national and individual life a poi- son which would eventuate In destruc. tion. It would smother ambition, enervate the body, remove compet! tion for legitimate success in every line of activity, destroy incentive for development and progress and create a nation of laggards, weaklings and paupers. Slight motive for succeed- ing in any natural and honest direc- tion would exist if the final resuits were to be applied for the equal ben- efit of others. “Growing out of the illogical and condemnatory doctrine above de- scribed is another even worse. It is, and for some months past hag been, in practice at places outside of the United States. It rejects the right of an individual to enjoy the fruits of natural ability and Integrity, of} study and mental effort, thrift and economy and it substitutes the law of physical force, which permits the strong and powerful to forcibly ap- propriate all that belongs to another. including property and family. “This virulent and abhorrent disease, masquerading under different names, has been gnawing at the vitals of | Russia. Anarchy is a generic term for it. Sovietism is most commonly used at present. It has spread and destroyed. Its germs purposely have been secretly carried to America and efforts made to inoculate our splendid citizenship, “If our people study the facts about this vital question, aa they should do concerning every important matter, there will be no epidemic here; they will learn and act accordingly. Homes will not be robbed and desecrated hore through anarchy and brute force. TREAT LABOR THE SAME AS CAPITAL IN INQUIRIES. “Capital, whether invested in charitable, religious, educational in- stitutions, or commercial or industrial enterprises, will be protected and, as without discrimination will be con- served. “If it should be urged that accumu- lated =wealth exceeding certain amounts and possessed by organized capital should be subjected to gov- ernmental inquiry and restriction in ® corollary, the rights of the people |f THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, JUNE its use, there might be no objection to a fair and reasonable enactment covering this question, provided or- ganized labor should also be sub- Jected to the same statute. “The door of opportunity for legit!- mate advancement is open to both capital and labor. Both should be grateful for the privilege, Neither should be permitted to abuse jt.” Mr. Gary declared that the plat- form of labor union leaders js the antithesia of the principle of equal opportunity, He asserted that, in- dustrially, the individual can realize the full advantage of the opportuni- ties which this country offers only through the principics of the open shop aa distinguished from the dom- inance and arbitrary control of the unton labor leaders, He added: “The open shop means freedom to the employee to engage in any line of employment, at any place and time upon terms and conditions volun- tarily agreed upon between the em- ployee and the employer, “The closed shop means that one de- siring employment can secure a place only on terms approved by the union lnhor leaders or leaders having jur- sdiction over the particular closed shop. “The great majority of the people of this country stand for the open sea, open ports of all countries, open covenants with other nations, open discussion of all proper questions an’ the open shop; and with this free- dom and justice to all. “Raquality of opportunity, I believe, 8 the avowed doctrine of our present Administration, from the President throughout the whole governmen- tal structure and will be intelligently and faithfully applied. Therefore, we have reason to look forward with confidence expecting increasing pros- perity In all directions as the months pass by.” dliltstiisiads NEEDY SOLDIERS PAID FIRST.
