Each division of labor should recognize that a gain for any Utah industry is a gain for all. The Mine, Mill & Smelter Workers and the United Steelworkers should assign their most capable executives to a study of the problem, for in their industries lies the beginning, and perhaps the probable answer to the need of steady employment at high wages for Utah and Nevada workers.
