VERMONTER ADDRESSES
ENGINEERS SOCIETY

New York, Dec flames Hartness
of Springfield, Vt, president of the
American Society Of Mechanical En-
glneers. speaking at the opening session
of the society tonight. said:
The reform movement against trusts
has accomplished some good results but
1t has also been very injurious to the
industrial life of this country, for this
good work has been done by men who
have not known the supreme value of
Industrial coordination of effort estab-
lished at great expense of energy and
after years of labor on the part of
workers and executives. This svnchron-
Gus action OF many workers is what con-
stitutes the lie blood of the industries.
II represents the highest type of CO.
operation. Notwithstanding its great
power for effective effort, 1t is something
that may he destroyed by a word. Its
destruction is not the destruction Of
something having a material value only:
It Is vital thing 1t is something that
can neither be weighed on the scales
nor measured with yard stick To GER
tain types OF Investigators II is not
known and yet II may he destroyed or
weakened by d!sorganiZer without his
intention or knowledge. He may feel
that nothing has been destroyed as long
as the buildings and machinery are still
in good condition. To him the mere mat
ter of manning the plant can he easily
accomplished, This may seem an eX-
travagant statement. but 1t is better 10
let IT stand as 1t is than 70 take the
alternative, namely, that this disorganiza-
ton is done with fun knowledge of the
great loss entailed by the worker, and
the general public"

STRUNG of existing law. What is vitality
needed is courts in touch with condi-
tons of the present day, rather than
courts bound to the technical rulings and
conditions that existed in generations
gone by; courts whose action leads to
constructive light rather than negative
uncertainty, confusion and proverbia de-
lay.

Of the State would be advanced by the
citizens of the State occasionally reading
article of the constitution which Is as
follows
Article 4th Every person within this
state ought to find a certain remedy, by
having recourse to the laws, for all in
iuries or wrongs which he may receive
in his person property or character: he
ought to obtain right and justice, freely,

completely and without any denial.
