"CHARACTER IN STEEL (Continued from Page 1.) Standing by the awful glare of an open hearth, a perfect replica of | hell with the lid off, one is especially impressed by the cogency of the | remark, "There ain't no chance for a man to fourflush if he works in the business of iron and steel." Often at night, from far away, 1 have hailed the blast furnaces of the Steel Company of Canada, glowing red against the darkened sky. It is a thrilling sight like that of the firing line by night. It comes as a signal from our Industrial Army. If the morale is high in that industrial army, the product will be good.. 1f the morale is low the product will be bad. ™ A Kentucky colone:, void of the usual discrimination' of those cava- lters, said, "All whiskey is good whiskey." Of course his statement met with immediate dissent. It would be just as fatuous for someone to pro- claim "all steel is good steel." 'There is such-a thing as character in steel, it is the character of the { man behind the open hearth. | A recent issue of the British Board of Trade Journal rows fresh light upon this truth. Commenting upon the trade of Egypt, this official publication declares that German knives are being exported to the Levant with "Sheffield" stamped upon the blade. l We were aware that Germany of late was attempting to pay her with a printing press. But here is a fresh evidence of decline. '""Majle in Germany' was not a brand of inferiority before the war. | That brajd was accomplishing a peaceful penetration into" every foreign What has happened since ? Germany has gone down politically | | | | | | {and financially. Worst of all, she has gone down morally. | Yésterday 'Made in Germany" was a proud trade-mark. Today "'Sheflield' forgery stamped on rotten German steel is a measure of the moral disi ration of the German people. In recent world upheavals much has passed, put no Nicholi Lenine | has yet been able to abrogate the law of the preminence of character. i We had good steel before we had big plants, its secret, the human element, remains the one unchangeable element beyond analysis of chem- An automobile manufacturer recently. lamented that centain of his workmen coming from the forges of Clydebank arrived with the ancfent standard: "Not how much but how well." Shortly after their advent into his plant these excellent artisans in a new fervor were rushing and skimping their work, with a changed ideal of, "not how well but how much." i If our trade unions could only attain to the place re their impri- matur 'would become a guarantee of quality of work ed, thereby | they would gain an infinite advantage. The old guild system with its fine high standard in workmanship is an idea) out of the past commendable unto the future. The Ferrara blade is an excellent example of the reflection of char- acter in steel. Go into an old armory and examine the swords of other days. If among the rusty relics should be discovered a Scottish' broad- sword, 'With a crown upon it, and a certain Spanish name, the antiquary would suddenly snatch it up as a priceless treasure. Why ? Because it was fashioned by a supreme artificer from Cordova in Spain, We may not know the story of Andrea di Fermara, but untli swords fare beaten into ploughshares: we shall be. acquainted with he character by the 'excellence which he wrought into his weapons, The quality of the Product cad never surpass the quality of the producer. Nothing could appear more mpersonal than a consignment of rails fresh from the blooming mil, and yet that cold grey mass is reeking with personality. Stand by the gates at the evening whistle when the day shift comes trooping through, the chief in his lmousine, the superintendent in his Ford, the foreman on his bike, the workman afoot with Ms swinging pail. Each and all have left their mark upon the steel that goes forth from this plant.
