NEED FOR CREED
Rockefeller Says Four Parties
to Industry Need One.
Capital, Management, Labor
and Community Are Four.

Atlantic City, Dec. 6.-An Industrial
creed for the -four parties to indus-
try'-capital, management, labor and
the community-was outlined by John
D. Rockefeller in an address here
before the war emergency and recon-
struction conference in session here.
Asserting that capital and labor are
partners with common interests,- and
not enemies, Mr.. Rockefeller stated
ten tenets Of his Industrial creed.
These included advancement by in
dustry Of social as well as material
well being Of employees; opportunity
by employees to earn a living under
conditions of fair wages, reasonable
hours and proper industrial environ
ment; reward for initiative and eff
cheney machinery for uncovertng and
promptly adjusting grievance; ade-
Quate representation of all the indus
trial parties with annual joint confer
ences to assure industrial harmony
and prosperity in each plant with this
system extended ito include all plants
in the same industry, all Industries in
a community, in a nation and in the
various nations"
Mr. Rockefeller added:
LAS the leaders of industry face
this period of reconstruction what will
be their attitude? Will it be that OF
the standpatters who take no account
of the extraordinary changes which
have come over the face OF the civil
lied word, who attempt stubbornly to
resist the inevitable and arming them
selves to the teeth. invite open war
fare with the other parties in indus
try, the certain outcome of which will
be financial loss, Inconvenience and
suffering to all. the development OF
bitterness and hatred, and in the end
the bringing out thru legislation, If
not by force, of conditions far more
drastic and radical than could now
be amicably arrived at thru mutual
concession in friendly conference?
"Or will 1t be an attitude in which
I myself profoundly believe which
takes cognizance of the inherent
right and justice of the principles un-
derlying the new order, which recog-
nizes that mighty changes are newt
able, 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
round-table conference to be held In
spirit Of justice, fair play and
brotherhood, with a view to working
out some plan of cooperation which
will insure to all those concerned
adequate representation, an oppor-
tunity 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.'

Chicago. Dec. 6.-Price paradoxes
were explained here today by A. w.
Meeker, vice president of Armour &
Company.
Pointing out that the "kiii'' at the
Armour plants this week is the largest
IN its history, that the influx of meat
animals at the stock yards here is so
great that frequent shipping en-
bargoes are necessary, Meeker said
that high prices must prevail for a
long time to come
THE old rule of supply and demand
governing prices is imperative"
Meeker said. 1.-The food adninistra-
ton has superseded economics-and
wisely 1 believe. 1t would not be right
to go back to former scales with jolt
Prices for hogs are roughly fixed
at thirteen and a half times the price
of corn. Until there is a relaxation
all down the line there can be little for
meats. However, even without these
rulings the demand for all products is
tremendous. Exports are greater than
ever and must continue for some
time"
illustrating the differences made by
transportation and other difficulties in

German retirement in the west Is max

pecfally along the Rhine. The people
there know that they will be the first
to be hit if the allies ever come.

Pigeons Broke UP a Monopoly.

One of the queer things about the
nutmeg is the romantic way in which
nature thwarted the Dutch attempt to
establish a complete monopoly Of the
spice. They own the Banda Islands.
where most of the nutmeg trees grow,
and at one time they wanted to pre-
vent everyone else from raising the
spice. So to keep up prices and to
induce other planters on other islands
to cut down their plantations the
Dutch at one time burned three piles
of nutmegs, each of them said to have
been as big as an average church.
They induced other planters to join
with them and it soon seemed as
though they were killing all competi-
ton.
Then nature took a hand in the
game. A large pigeon of the islands,
which was extremely fond of mace,
carried the seeds to all the surround
ing lands, even to the mainland of
Asia. Nutmeg trees began to grow
wild In numerous places and all danger
Of monopoly was remoyed.-Boston
