There have been more than 12,'
000 strikes ami lockouts in this
country within the past lour
years, according to the tederal
department of tabor. This is a
fearful record. It shows how necessary
it is thai a better way.be

conditions than by inflicting enormous
losses oti tile country and
all who live therein, through
strikes, including the privation inflicted

It will be shown, as most people
knew to be the case at the time,
that the treasury of the United
States was not appropriating
money to win the war, but literaiy
shoveling it out for that purpose.

great discrepancy between the
sale price aud the cost price, if
the plant hud been built by a
well managed private concern
this wide gap between cost uiid

but not where the govern men t
was concerned during the World
war. Whether ut Muscle Shoals,

there was the same reckless

t more probably to be even lower
