PUTTING BUSINESS RIGHT
WITH THE PUBLIC

A few years ago some big industrial
organizations and certain railroads EN-
ployed business tactics which, accord
ing to the popular idea, would make
the financial adventures of PiZarro
Morgan or Captain Kidd look as anna.
flourish as the verbal exploits Of Bobby
MakeBelieve.
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 IT,
nored the fact that these were peculiar
to comparatively few institutions and
instead of tackling the trouble where
it lay furiously assailed everything
classifiable as business-the trust mag
nate, the independent manufacturer
ready and anxious TO obey the law, the
small retailer, law abiding and use
FIJI citiZen-the innocent and the guilty
suffering alike. Seemingly the law was
invoked not to regulate, but to perse-
cute.
There could be but one result. Bust
ness was demoralized, and the whole
country has felt the evil effects Now
the public is beginning to realize its
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
GUS trade and industrial centers. AL
classes of citizens will be invited. The
purpose Of these meetings Is to give the
public a new and correct viewpoint "a
to the effects Of drastic legislation and
restriction of business on the prosper
ity Of the country. Every effort vii
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. 1t Il
believed that once the citizen grasps
the situation his whole attitude towart
business will change and that he will
readily cooperate toward bringing
about better conditions.
Commercial and other civic organiza
lions and the local press are already
showing great interest In this move
ment, and 1t Is reasonable to believe
that much good will come from IT.

GET TOGETHER FOR
PERMANENT PROSPERITY

Every man and woman engaged In
American factories, mills and mines.
whether they know English or speak
1t, are naturalized or intend to be-
come citizens, have direct interest
In maintaining Industrial prosperity.
When times are good. all workers
should not only be thrifty In habit and
lay up q little something for possible
rainy days, but they should do all they
can to keep the good times with US.
Simply because your language Ia DIFF
ferent from that Of the foreman. over
seer, superintendent manager or owner
of the plant In which you earn living.
Is no excuse for misunderstanding your
own common interest in prosperity by
hating your partner In your own in
dustry or listening to and following
the gospel of dissension 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 I'm American industry,
whom they urge into unlawful or harm
full acts by disappearing 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 a 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 II there will be. 1t
should be your feeling, then, that you
will not do as little as you may find 1t
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 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 not 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.--Industrial
