The Public’s Horse
Out on the westt.rn American
prairie in the frontier days ranch-
4ers used to lock their barnyard
gates with a slide bar when they
had a wild horse in the corral.
Sometimes a careless ranch hand
-would fail to slide the bar into
place and a prised horse would
get away. It was too late then to
lock the barnyard gate. The horse
was gone! The settlement of the
uteel strike reminds one of this old
frontier circumstance. The vast
majority of the American people
had a prise at stake in the steel
wage controveray. But they failed
to exert their overwhelming in
fluence and power—and now “the
horse is gone,”
What the 170 million American
people had at atake was their eco
nomic welfare, and possibly their
freedom and survival. The living
standards of Americana have been
rising steadily, and sometimes
uwiftly, since 1850 at the begin
ning of this new nation’s unpar-
allel industrial growth brought on
by freedom of enterprise, A key
factor in the rise has been the
«onstant improvement of produc
tion per man hour—the making
of more goods with less human
•ffort, resulting in lower prices
to the consumer, higher wages for
the worker, and attractive inter
oat for the people who saved some
of their earnings and invested it in
production facilities.
Monopoly Power
In recent years some labor or
ganisations have gained such vast
monopoly power they can control
the economics of industry by
atrikes which paralyse vital pro
duction facilities and which take
away from the consumer and the
Investor the benefits which would
normally come to them when pro
ductivity is raised.» Some such
atrikes in basic industries have
forced prices to climb and have
been a factor in setting off contin
uing inflation.
In the last 20 years, this inflation
has reduced the dollar’s purchas
ing power to 47c and the income
of millions of Amet leans has not
increased enough to offset this
loss in dollar purchasing power.
When ths steel strike began
months ago, President Eisenhower
speaking ns the elected represen
tative for all the people of Am-
•rica, requested that it be settled
without bringing on a wave of new
inflation.
Need For Law
We have anti-monopoly laws to
protect against gourging of the
consumers by a single industry or
combination of Industries, corner
Ing the* market and fixing prices.
We have laws prohibiting news
papers from exercsing the same
kind of monopoly tactics against
their advertisers. But we do not
have adequate, law protecting the
public against monopolistic prac
tices by labor unions, and the dan
gers of this situation to all Am
ericana, including industrial hour
ly wags earners, are being more
jmd more recognised by competent
observers.
Life Magaslne, which has the
biggest circulation of any news
publication in America, and whch
has shown no bias one way or the
other as regards the steel strike,
said in an editorial following the
settlement: “The question remains
-whether the best generalship in
tha world (by industry leaders)
could have defeated the union in
this or any other eteel strike, un
der present laws. The union en
joys a legal monopoly of ‘bargain
ing power* for wages; and its
strike weapon is more powerful
than anything in management’s
arsenal. When labor wants a
raise, the chief practical check on
Its demands is the moderation of
ita leaders.
Thoughtful Reactions
“This is not the same thing as
the public interest If the public
Interest lies in little or no wage
increase, as was the case in this
stHka, it can win its point by
curbing the monopolistic power of
the unions.** David Lawrence,
^columnist for the New York Her
ald-Tribune and Editor of U. S.
News A Wor>d Report, said in his
column: “Organised greed won out
over eelf-restraint in the so-call
ed *settlement’ of the steel dis
pute. Monopoly was the victor as
a selfish minority rode roughshod
over the interests of the major
ity.**
There is no doubt that the steel
industries were trying^ to avert
giving raises not justified ‘by pro
ductivity gains. In the face of con-
sderable misunderstanding and
propaganda they were sticking
their necks out to protest the pub
lic. In the settlement which in
dustry finally was obligated to
accept, the labor leaders promised
that the steel workers wodld put
forth sufficient effort to push up
productivity per man hour to
come. If they violate this pledge
then the public’s horse is not only
gone—it is lost, and the cost will
be dear to everyone.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs.
Esther Cosene Chapman; two
sons, William Jacob Chapman of
Hartsville ami Lawrence D. Chap
man of Spartanburg; one daugh
ter, Mrs. C. Ray Jackson of Co
lumbia; two sisters, Misses Vila
and Lillian Chapman, both of
Prosperity; and one grand-daugh
ter. *

FHA Makes Loans
Of Over $100,000
To County Farms
Approximately 13 farm families,
representing a proportion, of those
using Farmers Home Administra
tion credit in Newberry County
have completed a series of individ
ual meetings with William H. Car
ter, the agency’s county supervi
sor, to take a careful look at their
1959 operations and to make 1960
plans.
This yetr-old analysis is a serv
ice given by the agency which
makes loans to eligible farmers
to operate, improve, or enlarge
family-type farms.
As a result of this study of
their farm operations, Mr. Carter
said, some of the better practices
that farmers here are working in
to their 1960 plans include (1)
keeping records on each cow in
the Weigh-A-Day-A-Month or
Dairy Herd Improvement Associa
tion plan, (2) feeding grain based
on recorded milk production, (3)
culling herds, (4) increasing use
of lime os need was revealed by
last summer’s soil testing pro
gram, (5) increasing use of ferti-
izers on all crops and pasture,
(6) intensive cotton insect control
plan (7) better gardens and can
ning and storing, and (8) using
adequate equipment.
Farm families on Newberry
County now using FHA credit in
clude 23 with operating loans, 6
with farm ownership loans, 9 with
loans to build or repair houses or
other farm buildings, and 7 who
have soil and water conservation
loans.
Loans totaling $105,535 have
been made to farmers in this area
in the past year.- Of thi$ amount,
approximately $60,000.0<} has been
for acquiring equipment, live
stock, seed, feed, fertluxer, and
paying other operating costs, and
paying for labor and materials in
connection with housing and other
improvements. This money, and
the extra money from increased
incomes, circulates through local
trade channels.
Good farm planning and record
keeping ai'e carried on through
the year and play an important
part in operations financed with
FHA credit. As proof that good
practices pay off, Mr. Carter
pointed out that during the past
year five borrowers repaid their
loans in full and are now obtain
ing their necessary credit from lo
cal banks or other lenders.
The local FHA office is located
in the Agricultural building

Kendall Makes
'Real Progress'
In Past Year
BOSTON.—The Kendall Com
pany made “real progress’* in
1959, President Richard R. Hig
gins said in the annual report to
stockholders. Total sales for 1959
of $110,733,000 set a company
record and earnings were up 35%
to $5,164,000 or $4.93 per share
compared with $3.60 earned in
1968. The Kendall Company manu
factures surgical dressings, tex
tiles, polyethylene adhesive tapes
and nonwoven fabrics.
Sales activity remained high
throughout the year, the report
said. Because textile sales account
for about one-third of Kendall’s
total volume, the company bene-
fitted from the resurgence of
strength in the textile industry
during 1969. Higher textile prices
were combined with the greatest
textile sales volume in recent
years.
The report announced that the
Kendall Company will construct a
new pressurd-sensitive tape plant
in Franklin, Kentucky this year,
n.s well as a new combined divis
ional headquarters and research
facilities for its Textile Division
in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Kendall stockholders were told
that “the present utility of non
woven fabrics gives only a hint of
their future promise,*’ and that,
through the creation of Kendall’s
Fiber Products Division on Janu
ary 1, 1960, the company is now
in a better position .to concentrate
on this growing business.
