Just why we do not know or care, but they are putting up some at her Interesting and just- otho point arguments in the steel city. 1 i answer to a query from some one at the steel mill they recently published u column editorial in which they said i in part: ’ The main purposea ol th».

' I benefits to be derived from the re- ■ forms will be a recompense for the 1 present ora of slackened industry, and : j that when the changes have been ■ made and industry gets started agair, ! it will be found that the end justified I all the hardships of the times through which we are now passing.” i Indication at this tflne are that 1 Frank C.
