 The early part of the season was marked by excessively dry weather which extended from July 20 to August 10.

Tells of Organizing Democracy Among
 Workers in Firm

Cleveland. Ohio. Oct. 1-Discussing
 the labor problem here today before
 the National Safety Council of the
 Eighth Annual Safety Congress, F. L.
 Fcuerbach, factory manager of Wm.
 Damuth & Company of Richmond
 Hill, N. Y, told of the experience of that company organizing it's em- pIoyees into an Industrial Democ- racv."
 "The labor problem is too vast, too complex. and is enmeshed too deeply in human passions to be settled off hand by any method or system, how ever, admirable in itself" he said. "l am agrad that no one understands the whole labor problem but ] am con vinced that Industrial Democracy IS q wonderfully efficient teacher for both employer and employe.
 The Demuth company's plan IS based on the government of the Unit ed States, with cabinet, senate and house. The cabinet is made up of company officials with the president of the company as chairman, and has veto power.
 The senate is made of foremen and heads of departments and it's powers and practices are identical with that of the federal House of Representa- tives
 The house is made up from the ranks of the workers with one repre- sentative for every thirty workmen and are elected by secret ballot. The senate and house meet weekly on company time and any question relat- ing to working conditions, safety, wages, etc, may be brought up. No change becomes law, however, until it is approved by all three bodies.
 John Leitch, author of Man to Man." was the originator of the De- nuth plan and put 1t into effect. A dividend system was also established. Mr Feuerbach explains whereby all savings in~ the cost of production would be divided equally-one half to the employees and half to the com- paayr
 Mr. Feuerbach said it required some 5ime to educate the men to this new oIAn of factory government, but, when they realized the absence and tardiness affected production ind in turn their percentage of dividends, they recommended penalties for tar iiness, carelessness and disinterested vorkmen, and legislation to this eff feet was passed.
