GET TOGETHER FOR
 PERMANENT PROSPERITY.

Every man and woman engaged in American factories. mills and mines, whether they know English or speak it. are naturaliZed or intend to be come citizens, have direct interest ill maintaining industrial prosperity. When times are good, all workers should not only be thrifty in habit and lay up little something for possible rainy days. but they should do all they can to keep the good times with us.
 Simply because your language is diff ferent from that of the foreman. over seer. superintendent. mana .-pI or owner of the plaHt ill which you earn q living, is no excuse for misunderstanding your own common interest ill prosperity by hating your partner ill your own in- dustry OF listening to and following the gospel of GisSensiOn and violence which selfish agitatOrs so often preach.
 Do not blindly follow the man who tells you how hard your lot is. Often he is doing so untruthfully and for the purpose Of getting you to contribute membership money for his own support in idleneSs. Agitators get rich by prey ing on the men in American industry, whom they urge into unlawful or harm ful acts by miSrepreSenting conditions or holding out foolish and false prom ises of better things if they follow their orders. You know conditions yourself, and you know or ought to know that the man or men whom the agitatOr who pictures your employer as on inhuman driving machine is actual ly partner with you, interested in having the plant or industry successful.
 The more successful your plant or industry becomes, the more room for you to grow with it there will he. It should be your feeling, then, that you will not do as little as you may find it convenient to do, but to do just as much as you possibly can do. and then reasonably expect to share in the re- wards that always come to the efficient worker.
 Do not be a clock watcher in the fac tory. Those who wait for hours to strike or whistles to blow and soldier" at the bench, machine or in the office, never get ahead in the ranks of in- dustry. They never get any more pay because they are mt worth any more, and often are worth less than they get Remember the old adage that a man who never does any more or as much as he gets paid for, never gets paid for any more than he does.-IndustriG COnSerUGtiOa, ~.

PUTTING BUSINESS RIGHT
 WITH THE PUBLIC.

A few years ago some big industrial organizations and certain railroads em ployed business tactics which. accord. ing to the popular idea. would make the financial adventures of PiZarro. Morgan or Captain Kidd look as anna teuriSh as the verbal exploits of Bobby Make-Believe.
 All are more or less acquainted with the details. We will concede that there were some glaring abuses. but the pub lie when it came to apply remedy ig- nored the fact that these were peculiar to comparatively few institutions and instead of tackliLg the trouble where it lay furiously assailed everything classifable as business-the trust mag nate. the independent manufactures ready and anxious to obey the law, the small retailer law abiding and use full citiZen-the innocent and the guilty suffering alike Seemingly the law was invoked not to regulate, but to Derse cute
 There could he but one result. Busi ness was demoralized. and the whole country has felt the evil effects. Now
 
 error and in rather grudging way is making some concessions.
 Business is being permitted to speak for itself. and movement has been in. stituted by the leading business men of the country under the title of the National Industrial Conservation Move ment for the purpose of repairing the damage that has been done Nothing revolutionary is contemplated. The plan is simply to educate the public by taking it into the business mans conf. dence. Meetings will be held in vari. Ous trade and industrial centers. All classes of citizens will be invited. The purpose of these meetings is to give the public new and correct viewpoint as to the effects of drastic legislation and restriction of business on the prosper ity of the country. Every effort will be made to give the public a clear view of the problems and difficulties which beSet business.
 Special favors are not sought through these meetings. only fair play. It is l believed that once the citizen grasps 1 the situation his whole attitude toward 1 business will change and that he will readily cooperate toward bringing about better conditions
 1 Commercial and other civic organiZa. tiOns and the local press are already showing great interest in this move. ment. and it is reasonable to believe that much good will come from it. I Industrial Conservation, ". r.

Common Capitalists.

Every man or woman who possesses dollar or owns set of tools is a capitalist People generally make the mistake of thinking that the only form of capital in existence is the national surrcncy-the dollar. franc. ruble. mark, lire or pound sterling Yet every, body knows that many successful business mans only original capital was brains. knowledge. ability. deter imitation or ingenuity. It would be well for more people to recognize this iruism before ahetting. either by ac- lion or attitude. ceaseless efforts on the "art of some political or other self seekers. to h0bble business men and In dnstrial development.
