ranted-other Speakers.

| NEW YORK, May 1.-THE National

convention with banquet last night.
Among the speakers were Senator Wat
son of Indiana and Leslie NJ. Shaw,
former Secretary of the Treasury. Con-
sular representatives of Guatemala,
Liberia, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Swift
zerland were present.
Senator Watson characterized certain
features of the revenue bill now before
Congress IS unwarranted, even as war
measures. declaring that "it is certain
~ not the part of wisdom presently to
overtax the great body of our pro-
ducers that we may adopt the policy
of paying as we 60.
Senator Watson objected to the reve-
nue. bilfs s retroactive requirements. and
the placing of special taxes on special
industries rather than equalizing taxes
on manifold enterprises.
Asserting that cooperation is the
need of the hour in America. William
c. Redfield, Secretary of Commerce.
made an urgent plea to members of the
association to work hand in hand with
their employees to insure the nations
successful participation in the war.
Today, he said, was mo time to rock
the boat"
Consult labor" he advised. Give
it fair and free voice and meet it
half way-not as an adversary to be
cred. Our general efficiency must not
be Interrupted by local misunderstand-
ings."

will yield revenue ample, not only for
excellent service and maintenance. but
which will also be sufficient to attract
capital for improvements and extern
SionS.
Other resolutions adopted called on
Congress to "authoriZe the President
to suspend or modify labor laws
wherever necessary. but only for the
duration of the war;" and recommended
that efforts "be made to re-employ those
employees who return from the war.
and adequate provisions be made for
dependents without obligations to in
dividual employers" Also the manu-
facturers were urged to purchase
liberty loan bonds and where feasible,

agencies. were urged in the resolution
to vigorously maintain existing safe

than the lines of communication and
supplies serving the British forces in
Mesopotamia can well be imagined.
The days of muddle are ended and or
der has been evolved out of chaos. All
that human agency can do has been
and is being done to turn past failures
to success and prevent future break
downs in organization.
Communications by road. railroad and
river have been laid out and devel-
oped on a well-thought-out plan. Fa-
cilities for the loading and unloading
OF vessels at Basra are now on an ade-
quate scale Stores in abundance are
available and methodically controlled.
Medical equipment has been introduced
on a lavish scale. An ample water
supply is assured at every base and
camp.
Sanitation has been taken in hand.
An anti-fiy crusade Is belng carried on:
though any appreciable diminution OF
the fly plague can only be achieved by
herculean effort and after long time.
The construction of public works.
houses. stores, electric light plants.
cold storage. wharfage. docks, roads
and railways goes merrily on, and on
so large a scale and of such solidity
that it is not surprising if the inhab-
itants of the country interpret these
activities as denoting determination
on the part of the British visitor to re-
main permanently in Mesopotamia.
The feeding of the troops from the
firing line to the base is excellent. and
in the army canteens there is an
abundance of purchaSable necessltles

travel in considerable comfort in one
of the "P" boats of newest design,

which is that of ferryboat. These
boats are used for the rapid re-
moval of wounded when heavy fighting
is going on. What is wanted for this
purpose is as much clear deck space
as possible and no frills. Ihe ooats
are admirably designed. adequately
stated and equipped with every con-
ceivable comfort.

The Gap Between
Employers, and Workers

The dominance of machinery again
under the existing conditions of So
ciety means the indispensability of
capital. And as the cost of plant
ncreases-owing to industrial and
commercial causes, into which | can
not now enter-it becomes increas-
ingly necessary that the capital shall
be furnished by persons standing
outside the actual management of
the Concern" Thus. to the want
Of personal acquaintance between
the elements of production called
Management and Labor which is due
TO mere Multitude is added the Wis
ible separation between the two ele-
ments of production called Capital
and Labor produced by Machinery.
1 need not labor the point that this
separation is rendered deeper and
wider by the modern method of Sc
curing the necessary provision of
large capitals by the formation of
joint stock companies. The outcome
of it all is that, on the side of what
we speak Of as "the employers
by which we must mean all those,
whoever they are, who provide the
capitalize profit or income-mak-
ing purpose of business tends to be-
come the exclusive preoccupation, so
far as their investments" are con-
cerned, however unselfsh and gen.
erous they may be in the expenditure
of their income. am not neces-
sarily blaming them: without divi-
dends there would be no investments
and investment of capital is the
means by which modern communities
have been enabled TO reach even the
modest degree of comfort we have
so far attained TO. But the profit
seeking impulse may often be short
sighted, both in the public interest
and in its own interest properly UNI
derstood.
The situation It'll respect TO labor
