'.rhe fixed policy Of the department
has always been to acknowledge the
right of both employers and wage
earners to organize and to use its in
fuence against abuse Of organization
by either side. Upon this theory the
conciliation service Of the depart
ment has always operated.
TT is felt, however. that the rights
Of organisation and Of collective bar
gaining are no longer in dispute, since
they have been formally adopted both
by employers and by wage earners
through the War Labor Conference
Board.
'The great need for sacrifce for the
common good engendered by the war
has impe1led both employers and wage
earners to lay aside old prejudices,
old suspicious and old hatreds Both
laborer and employer have done this
in supreme measure during the past
year. In continuance Of that spirit Of
sacrifice lies the hope for the further
attainment and development during
tho days Of peace Of that democracy
for which we have taken up arms"
