MINE EMPLOYERS DEAL DIRECT
WITH EMPLOYEES.

iS CtctIi SOPPC1 SOhipuily
worked out a practical plan to a,
just differences that may come |
between the company and it's EN-
ployes without the intervention OF
union. The plan is an adaptation
the position taken by the mine opel
ators Of the Occur d'Alene distri
when the union called upon them II
ing willingness to meet their en-
ployes at any time and discuss wit
them questions Of mutual concern bl
not as representatives of any uniol
This plan has now been adopted b
the Utah Copper company, as appear
from the following announcement b
r. c. Gemmell, general manager I
the company, giving the plan in de
tail:
with the object OF maintain
ing the present pleasant relations
existing between the manage
ment and the employees, the Utah
Copper company invites the en-
ployes to select a representative
committee to consult with the
managing and experimenting Of
ficials on subjects of mutual in
terest.
Although we are proposing
that the men deal with the Off
Gals through elected committees
nevertheless I wish to state that
the offices of the company off,
Gals will continue to remain open
to all employees for the discus
sion of any and all subjects of
mutual interest.
Ballots will be furnished at
the time office for the election of
an employees committee to con-
sist OF three members from each
division.
Each employee will vote, by
ballot, for three members in his
division. The ballots will be de-
posted in ballot box In the time
office, and the employees will be
requested to select a committee
of three to act Jointly with a
similar committee appointed by
the management to supervise the
election and count the ballots
Only employees shall have the
right to vote. No official of the
company, foreman nor any person
having the right to employ, re-
move or discharge an employee
shall be entitled to vote
1.-THE three candidates in each
department receiving the highest
number of votes will be declared
The numerous and ever ncreasing
rikes that block the industries of the
untry, generally called through the
influence of a few radi-
leaders Of the unions, has brought
out condition that makes neces-
ry a plan that will fully protect
. employe in his right to have his
evances heard and adjusted and |
dch at the same time will protect
} employer against having his bust
is closed down through the inflG- |
'e of those who frequently have no
INJECTION with it and who often mis-
resent the viii of the real work
Another and even more serious
ectton that employers find in deal
with the unions is the fact that
ny of the labor organizations are
minated by the radical socialist,
|. w. w. or the bolshevist ele-
At, whose real purpose is not the
ndly and satisfactory adjustment
differences between employers ana
,loyes, but to completely overturn
industrial system and in the end
roy our representative form Of
by revolution. 1t is this
alton that impels the great steel I,
'oration to resist with all its pow NJ
the demands of the union for 4,
gnition, and has forced other large ii
loyers of labor to seek some in
MS of dealing with their employees a,
N provide ample protection to al
: rights and at the same time re- in
industry from the menace Of or
,alism and eventual ruin. dc
q plan adopted by the Utah Cop Fe
company. and which is the same wi
osal worked out in detail that of
made by the mine operators Of ed
Occur d'Alene district, may prove Nj
- in the right direction and may ltri
to permanent relief from the la VII
unrest and disorder that is par rel
ng the industries Of the country. to
