Schwab Likes Unions
That Is, If They're ''Run

Atlantic City, n J.,-At the recon
struction conference of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States of
America Charles NJ. Schwab of the
Bethlehem Steel company said he be
lieved in labor organizations provid-
ed, Of c lrse, they run right.
Aboat the same time Mr.. Schwab
was Grating President Grace of the
Bethlehem Steel company was asking
the national war labor beard to with
draw its representatives from that
plant and abandon a shop system of
collective bargaining which the com
pany, the employees and the war labor
board agreed to.
Mr. Schwab favors the two-by four
shop union rather than unions linked
up il huge national or international
organizations.
4 believe he said, that labor
should organize in Individual plants
or amongst themselves for the pro-
lection Of their own rights, but che
organization and control of labor in
individual plants and manufactures,
to our mind, ought to be representa-
tive Of the people in those plants who
know the conditions
This should be sufficient notice to
those ogres, known as business agents
and walking delegates who are al
ways trying to foment discomfort and
start riots that, as far as Mr. Schwab
is concerned they needn't come
round.

New York Organized labor's de-
claration, reiterated recently by
Samuel Gompers and others, that it
will not brook reduced wages or long
er hours, is apparently being accepted,
BY business, commerce and industry,
as unshakable, if certain straws in
the weeks news are reliable.
Enlightened leaders in these lines
seem to be convinced that any attempt
to antagonize organized labor at this
time, by flying in the face of the
Gompers declaration, would be unfor-
tunate for all concerned. Echoes of
this opinion where heard in some of
the United States Chamber of Com
merce conferences in Atlantic City and
more were evident at the meeting of
the Chamber Of Commerce of the
State of New York

The Union Laborer makes this COM
ment on the strike:
THE strike should be an example to
all the workers of what can be ac-
complished by organization of work
lnen. Never before in this section
have workers been known to secure
wage increases at this period of the
year, nor is there any record of
wage increase at a time equal to that
just negotiated. 1t is well known
that in the past, at this time of the
year, wages were usually reduced.
This not only applies to the paper
mills, but as we'll as to other industries
and is clearly because of the previous
unorganized state of the workers"

May Be Called Upon To Construe His Pronuncamento For
Benefit OF Benghted Agents In The Field.

Atlantic City, N. john D. Rock
efeller, Jr., declares there are four
parties to industry. He says they are
Capital, Management, Labor and the
Community.
TO those who have followed the ex-
pressions and actions of the Rookie
fellers this will prove most interest
ing. The younger Rockefeller has
taken on three partners. Labor will
be interested that it is offered seat
at the table.
There are many who believe that
Mr.. Rockefeller will be called upon
before long to instruct his agents con-
cerning the new deal He may have
to construe his declarations. His new
partners may insist upon his living
carefully up to the letter of his pro-
nunciamento.
Mr.. Rockefeller's statements were
made at the War Emergency and Re
construction conference here.
Asserting that capital ard labor are
partners with common interests, and
not enonies, Mr. Rockefeller stated
ten tenets of his industrial creed.
These included advancement by in
dustry of social as we'll as material
well-being of employees; opportunity
by employees to earn living under
conditions of fair wages, reasonable
hours, and proper industrial environ
ment; re ward for initiative and eff
fciency; machinery for uncovering
adequate representation of all the in
dustrial parties, with annual joint
conferences, to assure industrial har-
mony and prosperity in each plant,
and promptly adjusting grievances;
with this system extended ito include
all plants in the same industry, all
industries in community, in nation,
and in the various nations"
Mr.. Rockefeller added:
'As the leaders of industry face
this period of reconstruction, what
will their attitude be? Will it be
that of the stand-patters, who take no
account of the extraordinary changes
which have came over the face of the
civilized world and have taken place
in the minds of men, who say what
has been and it must continue to be-
with our backs to the wall we will
fight it out along the old lines of go

bornly to resist the inevitable and

in industry, the certain outcome of
which will be financial loss, inconven-
fence, and suffering to all, the devel-
opment of bitterness and hatred, and
in the end the bringing about through
legislation, if not by force, of con
ditions far more drastic and radical
than could now be amicably arrived
at through mutual concession in
friendly conferences
"Or will it be an attitude, in which
| myself profoundly believe, which
takes cognizance of the inherent right
and Justice of the principles under
lying the new order, which recognizes
that mighty changes are inevitable,
many of them desirable, which, not
waiting until forced to adopt new
methods, takes the lead in calling to-
gether the parties in interest for a
roundtable conference, to be held in a
spirit of justice, fair play, and bro
therhood, with a view to working out
some plan of cooperation which will
insure t. all those concerned ade-
quate representation, an opportunity
to earn a fair wage under proper
working and living conditions, with
such restrictions as to hours as shall
leave time not alone for food and
sleep, but also for recreation and the
development of the higher things of
life"
