The Star must keep up it's fight

The Star ought To teach its read.
ers the value OF organization. for
organization Is power
II Tho star can make the EN-.
ployers see that labor troubles are
created By CONDITIONS. and not
by Agitators. or labor unions, we
will have made great step in tho
right direction.
The Star should encourage the
organization Of state employment
offices In every city of tho state,
with a central office In the biggest
city. Said employment offices
must be run by state and city only.
without assistance az any private
organization as Il being done in
Seattle nov.
Tolerance and willingness TO try
to understand each other must
necessarily be the initial move on
the part OF employers and en-.
ployes. TO create better relations.
An open forum. where employers
and employees meet on equal terms
and talk things over. would help

BETTER ACQUAINTANCE

Editor The Star: In answer 10
the question OF Mr.. Strang. How
can Tho Star best promote help
full relations between employer and
employer" would suggest that
The Star commence "get-ac-
quaIntod" campaign for capital and
labor.
These two arc now strangers 20
each other. and strangers are al.
ways suspicious. rcsontful and
prickly. They are always thinking
and talking of their rights" never
OF their duties and mutual obliga.
tons.
mean literally that employers
and employees are now practically
strangers 10 each other. They eat
differently. dress differently. live
In different kinds OF houses in dif.
forent sections Of the city. and
hardly speak the same language.
The talk OF the worker Is sho. thru
with economies. lie has read more
on this subject than his boss" and
he uses "prolctariat. working
class" the class struggle" and the
cooperative commonwealth In a
way that irritates rather than In
structs his employer.
The latter is talking of my bust
ness open shop" rights OF In.
dependent workers" and damned
labor agitators." Tho periods be
tween strikes are armed truccs
Each side holds itself aloof
marshals It's own resources and
feeds It's membership on prejudice
and hate. Then when the newt
able strike comes. each side looks
"holier than thou" pleads for pub
lie sympathy and runs to the gov
crnor and mayor for protection"
Why doesn't each side use some
OF their funds to promote Industrial
peace and better understanding one
with the other? Why not have
the employers represented at union
meetings and employees represented
in the employers associations?
The English writer. Charles
Lamb. once refused TO meet a dis
tasteful rival. saying. Never!
want TO hate that man. and you
can't hate men you know"
II these two factions In society
would. for a while. treat each other
like regular persons" the en-

labor may appear something differ

FOR PROFIT SHARING

Editor The Star: Since influcn.
tial newspapers are the most effec.
tive mediums whereby the public
may be educated. The Star could
best promote helpful relations be.
tween employer and employe by
advocating a system. broad and
practical enough TO demand the at.
tention and respect OF both EN-.
ploycr and employe.
Such "A broad and practical sys.
TEN cannot be brought about by
legislation because ambition
would be destroyed and genius dis.
couraged thereby.
As a solution suggest that The
Star advocate industrial co-opcra.
ton on the profit-sharing plan. as
successfully demonstrated by Mr..
Ford. This system offers a reward
for genius, creates an interest. and
develops efficiency which in turn
produces greater profits. the fun.
damental principle of harmony.
