the principle OF representative government.
In brief, the recommendations are that
there be formed industrial councils, ma
tional, district and works, labor and capital
to be equally represented in each, with an
impartial or neutral presiding officer. Ma
tional councils would be composed Of the
national trades unions on the one hand and
national employers associations on the
other. District councils would include dis
trlct trades unions and employers associa-
tons. In the WORKS councils or committees

OF the works committees is to establish BET

ployed By granting TO the latter greater
share in the consideration Of matters with
which they are concerned. These recon-

Where some such plan this has been
in operation for a considerable space of

First Uninterrupted operation Of the

Second-Improvcd working and living

Third-Frequcnt and close contact be-

Based as it is upon principles Of justice
to all those interested in It's operation its
success can be counted on so long as it is
carried out in a spirit OF sincerity and fair
play. Furthermore, it is a vital factor in
reestablishng personal relations between
the parties in interest and developing a
genuine spirit of brotherhood among them.

Specialization Without
- Representation Is Tyranny

This sense OF isolation and detachment
from the finished product which necessarily
comes too often to the worker in modern
industry can be compensated for only by
contact through representation If not direct

industry. Thus only can. common purpose
DC Kept alive, individual interests safe
guarded, and the general welfare promoted.
The cooperation OF labor, OF capital, and
Of government, in war service, has afforded
d striking and most gratifying illustration
OF this principle.
The question which confronts the stu
dent Of industrial problems is how to re-
establish personal relations and cooperation
III spite Of the changed conditions The
answer is not doubtful or questionable. but
absolutely clear and unlnistakable: Through

Various methods OF representation have
been adopted, OF wa:cv perhaps the most
conspicuous IS Che labor union. A. regards
the organization &C labor, It is juet az
proper and advantageous for labor to asso

advancement OF its legitimate interests az

But organization has it's danger. Organized

Rockefeller Greed

NOME of the old things will hold
over in the reconstructing world
~ some of them will be displaced by
new ones. In time when events
are still fluid, men Of every class are
studying the forms that crystaliiZation
will take. The following are selected
passages from an address delivered by
John D. Rockefeller, jr, at the War
Emergency and Reconstruction Confer
ence held at Atlantic City recently:
CAT length the war is over. Less than
4 month ago every nerve was being strained
toward the enlistment, training and equip
ping OF 100000 men to be added as rap
IDLY as possible to the battle-worn but un-
Welding forces Of our Allies livery wheel
in industry was turning at top speed to
supply munitions and the necessities Of
war, while the people engaged in the COW
fict stood ready 70 stake their al on the
outcome Of the struggle The future Of
civilization hung in the balance. Should
the iron heel trample ruthless!y on human
lily or should right triumph over might {?
IN the contest millions of lives have been
sacriticed; billions Of dollars have been ex-
pended, rich treasures destroyed; cities,
towns and villages laid waste, vast
stretches o. country desoated, While no
one can estimate the human suffering. mis-
ny iand sorrow which have been involved
But nov, thanks 70 the iudomitablo cour-
&c o. the Allied nations backed BIZ our
Neal.ant troops, the issue has been finally
ought out, and tyranny and oppression ut
.ery crushed
one OF the most useful Lessons which
inc struggle has taught is the value Of CO.
operation. The successful outcome Of the
conflict was made possible largely because
o. the cooperation OF the many interested
clements. Irrespective OF race, creed or
color men have fought and died and
worked and suffered side by side. The kin
snip OF humanity has been understood as
never before Common danger, common
toll, common suffering have DEVELOPED the

THE Rockefeller
Il Industrial Greed

II the foregoing points which / have en-
deavored to make are sound, might not the
four parties to industry subscribe to an in
dustrial creed somewhat as follows:
l. I believe that labor and capital are
partners, not enemies; that their interests
arc common interests, not opposed, aad that
neither caa attain the fullest measure o.
prosperity at the expense Of the other but
only in association with The other
2. I believe that th2 community is an es-
sential party TO industry, and that 1t should
have adequate representation with the other
parties.
3. believe that the purpose Of industry
IS quite much to advance social we'll
being Is material well-being, ard that in the
pursuit OF that purpose the interests OF the
community should be carefully considered,
tle well-being OF the employees as respects
living and working conditions should be
.ully guarded, management should be adc~
quateiy recognized and capital Should be
justly compensated, and chat failure in any
Of these particulars means loss to ell four.
4. ! believe that every man is entitled to
an opportunity TO earn living, to fair
wages, 10 reasonable hours of work and
proper working conditions, to decent home,
to the opportunity to play, to learn, TO wor-
ship and 20 love, as we'll as TO toll, and tina.
the responsibility rests as heavily upon in
dustry as upon government or society to
see that these conditions and opportunities
prevail.
8. believe that industry, efficiency and
initiative, wherever found, should be e5acour-
aged end adequately rewarded, and that in
dolence, indifference and restriction Of pro-
duction should be diseountenanced.
&. believe that the provision Of adequate
means Cor uncovering grievances and
promptly adjusting them IS Of Fundamental
Importance TO the successful conduct OF in
dustry.

From La Boio,lnettc

Beginning with the election Of representa-
tlves in single plant, it is capable Of in
definite development to meet the complex
needs Of any industry and wide extension
to include all industries. Equally applicable
in industries where union or non-union la
bor or both, are employed, it seeks to pro-
vide full and fair representation Of labor.
capital and management, taking cognzance
also OF the community, to which representa-
ton could easily be accorded and has thus
far developed spirit of cooperation and
good will which coTnmends it to both en-
ployer and employe. The outstanding feat
uros Of tie plan are briefly as follows:
Representatives chosen b. the employees
IN proportion to their number from their
Ec!!o" workers in each plant form the basis
OF the plan. Joint committees, composed
OF an equal number OF employees or their
representatives and an equal number OF Of
tlcers OF the company are found in each
plant or district. These committees deal
with questions OF cooperation and conc;lia-
ton, safety and accident sanitation, health
and housing, recreation and education.
Joint conferences Of Representatives and
olnccrs Of tile company are held in the vari-
Gus di5tricts several times eacA year. and
there is also an annual Joint conference,
1T which reports from al diatricts are re-
ce;ved and considered.
Another important feature OF the plan
IS an officer known as the Presidents III
dustral Representative, whose duty it is
to visit currently all the plants and confer
with tic Representatives,, as we'll az to be
available always for conference at the re-
quest Of the Representatives. Thus IL will
be seen That the employees, through their
representatives, chosen from among them.
selves, are in constant touch and confer
ence with the owners through their reDre-
sent&tiVes and the officers in rerard to
matters pertaining TO their common inter-
est.
The employers right OF appeal IS II,
third outstanding feature Of the plan. ANY
employe with grievance, real or in1asl-
mary, may 90 with it at once to his xspre
seACatiFes, who frequently find there is no
real ground Tor grievance and are able to
so convince tie employe. But il q real
grievance exists or dissatisfaction on the
part OF the emplose continues, the matter
IS carried to the local boss, foreman or
eases, questions are amicAbly and satisfae-
'oflly settled Further appeal is open TO
the aGgrieved employee to the higher officers
