The shorter hours, better wages and improved working conditions are due almost entirely to the struggles of the workers, most of the greater improvements coming only after strike or lockout, and the entire community has been benefited by these hard-wobattles. The International Typographical Union has for fifty years advocated the substitution of conferences, conciliation and arbitration for the strike and lockout, and the failure to abolish strife in this great industry is not chargeable to the workers or their organizations. There are cither good points in this editorial of the News which we hope are also an indication of its future n policy: The investment of capital is in substances and money. The investment if labor is an investment in the nature of skill and life. The former is a ma- terial investment without which the industry could not exist. The latter perhaps the more precious of the two, because it involves life itself is a human investment without which the industry could not exist. It follows, therefore, that if these parties each has an investment in industry, then each should have a voice in the control of industry. Single control, whether it be labor, capital, or the public, means in the end autocratic control, AND AUTOCRATIC CONTROL IS DEATH, AS ALL EXPERIENCE TEACHES. Joint control must take the place of single control. Capital, labor and the public should all have their voice and representation. To democratize industry so that democracy in government may go hand in hand with industrial democracy IS THE SURE ROAD TO INDUSTRIAL PEACE AND THE WELLBEING OP THE NATION. Such a condition is clearly, attainable and cer- tainly is the vital need of the trial world. indus- The sole cause of the struggle between capital and labor has been and is autocracy in industry. The Typographical Union, like most other labor organizations, has been seeking recognition for the just rights of those emesployed within the industry and the tablishment of democracy in the stead of the autocracy that has so long held sway, entirely ignoring the rights of the workers to have anything to say regarding the conditions under which they shall be employed. We have previously pointed out that autocracy is not all on the side of the employer, but whether it be an or an employee-autocracracy it is equally wrong and just as surely leads to destruction, as the News editor points out. Since the abolition of slavery there have been three general forms of industrial organization striving for control. (1) The absolutism of the ememployer; (2) The absolutism of the ployees through unreasoning organizations; and (3) the Joint Conference Council, giving equal representation and recognition to both employer and employer-autoc- 7 ference method of settling industrial questions.

Last Saturday a meeting of the shareholders of the Eureka Metallurgical company was held in Eureka, at which time a resolution was adopted changing the place of business from Eureka to Salt Lake City and also amending the articles in such manner as to permit the opening of an office in New York City or any other place deemed convenient and necessary. The meeting was attended by L. R. Marti-neaua bait Lake attorney, and A. W. Hahn, who represents the John Hays Hammond interests now owning the control in this company, which was x, launched by local people.
