Tcxt of Message.
The presidents message follows.
To the ladies' and gentlemen
OF the Industrial confarencoi
! am advised by your chniFran
that you have come 70 a situation
which appears 20 threaten The
life OF your conference. and be-
cause Of that ] am pronunlnr 10

appeal 10 you as Amorlcnnn. IL

Tor the present conditions DO
not speak In a spirit OF criticism
OF any individual or OF any group.
But having called this confer.
encc. l feel that my temporary
indlspOaltion should not bar ,hc
way 10 a frank expression OF the
seriousness Of tho nouiflon In
which this country viii be placed
should you adjourn without hav-
Ing convinced the American peo-
pie that you had exhausted YOUR
feaonrcefulnoes and your ma
tience In an EFFORT 10 come 20
some common agreement.
AT a time when the Aationa OF
the world are endenvorinE 10 find
n way OF avoiding International
war. are we 70 confess that there
n no methQd 20 be found for
cnrryinx on Industry except IN tho
spirit and with the very mathod
OF war? Must suspicion and
hatred and force rule un In civil

and our industrial workers to live

MY friends. this would be an
lntoicrable outlook. a prospect
unworthy OF the large things
done by this people In the mas
tering OF this continenf--ihdcod.
u would be an Invitation TO ma
tional disaster From such a
possibility my mind turns away.
Tor my confidence u abiding that
In this land wo have learned how
TO accept the general judgment
upon matters that affect the pun
lie veal. And this II the very
heart and soul OF democracy.
IL Is my understanding that
YOU have divided upon one por-
ton only Of possible large
program. which has not fully
beon developed. Before q aovor-
anct n effected. baaad upon
present differences. ! believe you
should stand together for the de-
veiopment OF that full gronram
touching the many questions
within the broad scope OF your
Investigations. II. was n my
mind. when this conference was
called that you would concern
yourselves with the discovery az
those methods by which a meas-
ureable cooperation within lndus-
Try may have been secured and II
new machinery needs TO be- de-
signed by which a minimum Of
conflict between eupioyera and
employees may h.lsonanlgt ho
hoped for. that we should make
an effort to secure lta adoption.
II cannot be expected that Ut
evSry step al parties will aares
upon each proposition or method
suggested.
IL 10 TO be expected. however.
that as a whole, the plan or pro-
gram car be agreed upon which
viii advance further tho produc.
tive capacity Of America through
the establishments Of 4 nurrr and
heartier Cooperation between tho
elements engaged In industry.
The public expects not less than
that you shall have that 8ne end
IN View and stay together until
the way Is founS leading 10 that
END or until Il - revealed that
the men who work and the men
who manage American industry
are 10 set upon divergent paths
that All eifort at cooperation Is
doomed to failure.
/ renew my appeal with fun
comprehension OF the almost In
comparable importalco OF your
tasks TO this and to other peo-
ples. and with fun faith In the
hIgh patriotism and good faith
OF each other that you push your
task 10 a happy conclusion.
WOODROW WILSON.

ference adjourned until afternoon.
