sioner of labor The letter was addressed
to him as secretary of the National Indus
trial Peace Association. and is as follows:
MY Dear Sir: have gone over the pa
perS that you have shown me relating to
the National Industrial Peace Association,
and l have given careful consideration to
all that you have said to me concerning
it. 1 have been very much impressed with
your plan. Your idea is lofty and far
reaching one. but 1t seems to me the steps
you taking for its realization are thor
oughly practical and give promise of some
very concrete successes.
Argument Not Required
mo argument is required to convince any
one of the folly and the crudity of our pres
ent method-or want of method-of settling
industrial disputes, and, certainly, If we
are to maintain our reputation for resource
fulness as people. we must evolve some
plan of settling Industrial disputes which
will be more satisfactory than the present
one to the wage Garner, the wage payer
and the general public alike
1T seems to me that you plan for the
organization Of the National Industrial
Peace Association can only be productive
of good, and that 1t win be a distinct step
in the direction of more rational method
of adjudfcating Industrial disputes than
anything we have yet tried.
You have my earnest sympathy In the
effort you are making and I shall be very
glad to do anything / can to further the
establishment of branch of the organiza-
ton here in the national capital.
II am, very sincerely yours,
"CHAS p NELL"
