LIVING MAR THE Mill.

Interesting and helpful conferences
have taken place between John u.
Rockefeller jr.. and labor leaders
following the recent investigation OF
Colorado strike troubles. A better
understanding is promised This
leads many newspapers TO remark
very Justly that much industrial fric-
ton could be avoided. If capital and
labor could come into closer personal
contact.
The idea has grown up among
many wealthy manufacturers and
their families. that factory town IS
not a good place for their residence.
They prefer a city where there is
more high society. The mill town.
with its streaming crowds Of alien and
often bitter faces seems obnoxious.
Thereby they quarrel with their own
bread and butter.
In the old days. the manufactures
worked at the bench beside his men.
If his trade grew, he still knew his
men personally. He belonged TO the
same IRE pdhg anu DSAACAAL SoNAC'sf
His wife did charitable work among
unfortunate employees.
If there was friction a delegation
was welcome to call at the Office.
They might start in angry. but con-
cessions would almost always be
made
Today a great many mill owners
never listen personally 70 the story of
the life Of their employees. That story
sounds very differently when heard az
second hand.
Success in business depends on CO.
operation of employees. That &C
operation can not be had by proxy or
secured by letter or telephone.
Manufacturing towns are not
necessarily bad towns to live in. There
is as much human sympathy there as
anywhere else. Under good leader
ship they can be we'll governed. John
d. Rockefeller, jr., may not be able to
go to Colorado and live among his
miners. but nearly all factory owners
would promote their own success by
living in the same town with their
plants.

THE HABTT OF TDIF,NESS.

In the testimony being given the
federal commission on Industrial re-
lations. the original ideas of Henry
Ford, the millionaire automobile
maker. are prominent. The basic
principle in Mr. Ford's philosophy is
the gospel of work. and he attributes
most modern evils to idleness.
In every town there are sons Of
perpetual rest, who ornament curb
stones and park benches. and SLOUGH
around saloons and railroad stations.

these shiftless children of the lazy
sunshine. Handouts Of old clothes

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-One love-
ly thing about this story is the fact
that it is an incentive to the study of

tale through will learn, for example,
just what an iguana is. The facts will
come out naturally and casually as
the story unfolds After reading what
is 10 follow there will no longer be
any excuse for one finding ones self
at conversational loss when the sub
Ject of iguanas chances to be brought

The ambitious reader, in his quest
for fascinating facss. will also learn
why Sen.-elect Bob Broussard Of
Louisiana Will not include iguanas in
his list of creatures that should be

shores to help out our food supply

acts, after he is promoted from repre-
sentative TO senator at the opening of

serious consideration the bill intI o.

known as the hippOpOtamus bill. In
preparing this bill Broussard acted on

not suit every member of the organi-

Labor papers have done much to
clarity public thought and to impart
