Carplete Industrial Peace
Must Now Be Brought
| About to Insure Ma
tons Welfare.
New Epoch Has Been Estab-
/ ished by War Conditions,
Say Experts Of U. S. De-
partment of Labor.

How war is ushering in a new
=, an era Of industrial peace
ased upon industrial under
landing, has been strikingly il
,strated by a series of confer
inces, held under the auspices OF
he Information and Education
ervice Of the .. 5. Department
Labor, at which representa-
Ives Of workmen, both organ
ed and unorganized, have met
kanufacturers from all parts OF
he country.
These conferences have shown
pnclusively that patriotism
mows neither wealth nor sta
on. The factory hand and the
bal miner have shown a spirit
Z self-sacrifice not a whit less
Inspiring, and on the other hand
b more inspiring, than that Of

usiness, built up by the pains
hiking effort of a score of years,

echnical position, without a pre-
ense Of compensation.
From this spirit of common
afrifce, and of mutual con-
ession for the common good, a
4ter understanding has grown
b between employer and en-
eyee that will, if maintained
I'd nurtured, build a new world

ofkmen and owners are doing
heir share.
Efficiency in itself, in the
snse Of careful management

fce Is not sufficient in times
g these. A broader efficiency
lecessary, based on the spirit

uslasm animating worker and

throughout the country work
men have taken solemn pledges
to stand by the nation at all
times, to do the best work with
in their power and to exert every
effort to defeat the foe.
In most places employers haze
given their best to the nation.
There have been instances of dis
agreement between workmen and
factory owners, and these the
government, through the De-
lpartment of Labor, is eradicat-
ing as best it can.
The employer does not realize
as the workman does how cost of
living mounts from day to day.
The employee is none the less
patriotic because he insists upon
maintaining good living condi-
tions for his family; the man
who is satisfied with his lob and
whose domestic affairs are not
continually worrying him can
give the most effective service.
Most employers have shown
a very real appreciation of their
workmen's problems. Occasion
ally there is an employer Of the
old school, one whose mind has
not kept abreast of the times
and who does not realize the
great demands that war has
made upon the family income
Such men. who thought 50 a day
good pay before the war, can see
no reason why So is not good pay
now. in spite of the fact that
commodities have gone up in
general from go to Is per cent.
The war has been the means
Of spreading social education to
quarters where otherwise it
might never have come. The

On the whole. as these gather
lngs representative Of labor and
capital have shown, this ideal
| has been realized and main
tained.
Not all, however, have been
true to it. There have been
profteers and shirkers: there
have been autocratic employers,
and reckless workmen, whose
principal thought was to get as
much money as possible for a
little work.
There have been industrial
disturbances that have meant
the loss of precious days, and of
precious lives in France. There
have been some factory owners
who have persistently refused
their own. sometimes forgetting
even the right of the nation.
Such men have declined to con-
slider the welfare Of their work
men or to conform in any way
to the demands of the new time.
Workmen, too, in some locali-
ties, forget the war needs and
gave little thought in some in
stances of rendering fair serv-
ice. Moreover profiteering among
storekeepers and landlords often
led to industrial troubles. 'Rent-
hogs" were perhaps condemned
more than any other class for
taking advantage Of the nation
in its hour of need.
All these difficulties have had
to be ironed out. Not everything
runs smoothly even yet, at all
times. But the Department Of
Labor has found that when
workmen and industrial man.
ayers are brought together to
discuss war production prob |
lens, both are disposed to be |
reasonable, and that reasonable |
men can almost always agree on
some definite plan of action. The
business men have been brought
to realize what the workmen Of
America are actually accom-
and to understand that
in a good many cases Of dis
agreement the workman is alb
in the right. That dis
covery by the employers of
has in itself been of
vital Importance in the war pro-
gram.
War, imperiling the very ex-
istence of the State. has rallied
the workman to Liberty's de-
tense. It has developed spon-
taneously a spirit of rivalry that
has led to thousands Of friendly
competitions in mines, in ship /
Yards. and in munitions works.
It has been productive Of the al
most innumerable DISPLAYS of
he highest patriotism that have
oeen manifested in the daily
oil Of the American laborer.
One form of competition thus
developed, some experts believe,

DR. H F. EDGAR offers the sug-
u gestion that since We have q
Mothers day. a Fathers day, a Pres
ident's day. a Labor day. a Tag day
and so on. we ought TO have a Weed
day. or a NEEDLESS day. and he thinks
mayor Davis ought to proclaim once
more at least and make the proclama-
ton apply to the NEEDLESS day.
Even tony Montana street has
weeds on the sidewalk" said the
doctor. in all truth. "and there are
many sidewalks in the city that are
not only unsightly. but they harbor
millions OF mosquitoes. gnats and
bugs
The city gangs might put in the
Gay wedding the parks. so that the
cleanup would be general. but the
public ought to be asked 10 clean the
sidewalks and the unpaved streets
abutting the sidewalks"
Ia all OF which there are scores
and scores and still more scores OF
people who viii agree with Dr.. Edgar.
The weeds along the sidewalks and
in the street in front OF the sidewalks
on many OF the unpaved streets OF Ell
Paso are disgraceful and should be
cut. FL PasO never had so many mos
quitoes as this year and this is large
" due to the rank growth Of weeds.
OF course, the vines and flowers in
the yards protect and ESrbor some
mosquitoes, but the weeds narbor as
many or more.
