work being done by the conservation

the vital problems OF industry. The

trade field at the termination Of the
present war.

necessity Of working along human
lines in order to increase industrial

American Industry and the War"
Mr.. Clark will draw from his broad
and interesting experience a number
of incidents to illustrate his points.
Having travelled extensively, Mr..
Clark, a number of years ago decided
to round out his experience by taking
q course in the hard school Of labor
so that he might study human nature
from the industrial viewpoint. Mr..
Clark was for a number OF years
editor Of one Of the middle western
dailies, and from that experience has
became acquainted with the indus
trial needs Of the country. He Is
also an author and lecturer OF ma
tional repute.
Nation Wide Movement.
With his deep sympathy for the
laboring men balanced by an un-
prejudiced regard for the rights Of
the employer, Mr.. Clark has made q
keen analysis of the labor situation
as 1t exists today. Through him
and other speakers Of his type, the
national Industrial conservation
movement is carrying out its work Of
safeguarding industrial prosperity.
Under the auspices Of boards Of
trade, chambers OF commerce and
similar bodies. 1t is holding a series
Of conservation meetings through
out the east and middle west.
According to the statement given
out today, the movement was start
ed some time ago by a group Of prog
ressive manufacturers who perceiv-
ed the country's need for industrial
preparedness. These men foresaw
that wage earners and wage payers
must forget whatever differences
they had in the past in order to work
together for their mutual advantage.
Now they are promulgating the doc
trine that capital. labor and the
public, are the three real partners in
industry and that the partners should |
fight shoulder to shoulder and en-
deavor to persuade the workingman |
that his interests and those OF his |
employer are closely interviewer. At |
the same time, they are trying to |
convince the citizen that he is I'M
wise in his encouragement of laws /
That merely hamper and discourage /
business.
