Secretary Daniels appointed him chief
Of naval operations. He was made
admiral in 1916
What won Admiral Benson his po-
sition as chief of naval operations
was his efficient and prompt execu-

duties, Secretary Daniels had a chance

naval materials in Washington and

the youngsters. His genial manner
and generosity have made him pop

Three new BUILDINGS
FOR LEATHER PLANT

The New Castle Leather Company
is putting into effect a number OF inn
provements which have been under
contemplation for years. The plant.
which employees about 1000 hands
when normally busy, will be to a
large extent made over when all the
projected work is finished Last
week the company opened a two
story storage house with 10000 feet
of floor space at Twelfth and Wilson
streets. A fireproof four-story ware
house. 200 by 100 feet, is now being
planned. and this week ground was
broken for new Office building with
a 65-foot frontage.
Orders are plentiful. and even
though the ocean freight situation
may handicap tho concern in receiv-
ing hides from India. there are sufIi-
cient coming via China TO keep the
plant running steadily. The hrm had
17S.000 hides on the Hudson Maru.
captured by a German submarine and
towed into Pernambuco. but they we're

examples Of organized effort TO con-
troll legislative assemblies throughout
the entire country demands that we,
who create employment through our
initiative and energy, must not leave
the entire making of the laws con-
trolling us to others. BY this / do
not mean that we should assume to
dictate what laws should be passed,
but we should keep in touch with
and oppose developments which tend
to install other than the open shop
principle. or retard production by pen
alizing skill and ambition.
1--WE have done this in a large meas
ure. but we can do more by continued
and united effort
Briefly We can summarize the
achievements of the past year, as
follows:
Increased commercial integrity of
business community by fostering the
spirit Of cooperation and helpfulness
among business men:
Maintenance of an economic work
day and a fifty-four hour week in the
industrial trades as opposed to the
demand for an eight-hour day as a
basis for increased wages:
Establish an employment bureau
for the placing OF workmen in vari-
Gus crafts at no cost to the workers
! and irrespective of their membership
/ in any trade organization. This bu-
reau is an aid and a safeguard to
| deserving and conscientious workers; I;
and enables the employers TO keep
the labor situation well in hand by
!
and meet the needs of the workers.
Since the establishment OF the bu-
reau in October, 1916, we have re-
ferred more than thirteen hundred
workers to positions in their respec-
tive vocations, the majority Of whom
have been satisfactorily and proftably
located;
Better shop conditions through
mutual discussion of ideas;
Worked for the passage of bene-
fetal legislation and opposed class
and specious laws known as squeeze"
and strike" bills;
Caused the arrest of pickets who
| intimidated workmen refusing to be
controlled by orders from labor agi-
tators;
FILLED places Of strikers without
resorting to the importation OF
toughs as strike-breakers to disrupt
the peace and good order of the COM
munity;
Encouraged discussion Of COM
plants with their own workmen seek
ing adjustment Of wages and working
conditions;
Distributed open shop literature
through direct mailing and newspaper
advertising;
Discouraged settlement OF any
grievances OF employees through out
side business agents or labor organ
izers; and
Rafrained from discrimination
against union men or objecting to EN-
ployes joining their trade unions.
"Our only objection to unionism as
an organization is the constant en-
deavor to restrain the product and
control the management of plants in
(which the trade unionists have nc
financial liability, and in which they
attempt to inject the uneconomiC
closed shop principles.
an closing l want to thank all
those who by their effort or example
have helped this work during the past
wear and ask you all to render a
larger measure Of service during this
new year to the officers who you elect
tonight"
