Texas. who came to Fort Worth IN an
effort to get assistance in harvesting

in the middle northern section Of the
State was greatly reduced and the
land planted in wheat
"Thc harvest season Chs year is
going TO be very Irregular Mr. Orms
continued. "There are many fields
which are now ready, or almost ready
for harvest. while others the same
locality win not be ready for several
weeks
There are about $1,000 acres Of
wheat in Haskell County this year,
whereas there were only about $4,000
acres planted there last year, accord
ing TO Mr. Davis He said that the
harvot season there was upon them,

Better Highways.
(St. Adams Messenger. J

Out of the state tourists are begin
ming to be heard about the Vermont
roads, and strange to relate they do not
substantiate the tale of woe that has
come out of some newspaper Offices
where it has been held that no one not
suffering from senile dementia would
ever try to make a trip over Vermont
roads. The fact is our roads, while not
the best in the world and capable Of
much Improvement, are nevertheless
fair highways over which pleasant rides
may be taken. And Improvement will
not come if the campaign of misrepre-
sentation which marked much of the
support of the Patrol committee propa-
ganda is continued We ought at least
to have as much respect for our own as
outsiders have, which can't be said to
be the case with some Vermont publ
cists. A sane program for better roads
is possible in the state and will be un-
dertaken. If the vicious knoc kers real
ly want betterment they can help the
cause by throwing their sledge hammers
away.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE Il, 1919.
FOR INDUSTRIAL PEACE.

Comparatively a few years ago the
first trust" was organized in this
country, for few years thereafter
they We're comparatively few and then
they became very general. The history
Of the trusts is the history of an indus
trial develoment in the country. Their
small beginning and later development
give the comparatively few coopera
tive efforts between employers and en-
ployes increased Importance because
these pioneer efforts may prove fore
runners of a nation wide movement.
We cannot recall all the cooperative
undertakings of the present, but a few
days ago there was published in this
paper portions of an address by Cyrus
Mccormick, Jr., of the international
Harvester company before the National
Association of Employment Managers
in which he declared his company had
found that industrial democracy was
right and that it paid 1t viii be re-
mcmbered he told how employee represent
tation in the international Harvester
company had been tried for two months
and they were allowed full representa-
ton with the employers in the discus
sion of working conditions and wages.
" Everything that touches their inter
csts is taken up in round table discus
sion at joint conferences.
Now comes the announcement of the
Standard Oil company of Indiana of
plan to give its employees representa-
ton in joint conference with the man
ayers to prom9te cordial industrial rela-
tions. The purpose is to afford means
of securing to employees greater share
in responsibility for the conditions I'M
der which their work is carried on and
a better understanding and closer CO.
operation between the employees and
the management in all matters pertain
ing to the employment and working and
living conditions.
These are but two of the efforts made
to deal with employers and employees as
man to man; but they are the action of
two very strong industrial combinations
and certainly are important develop
ments towards industrial peace
The most hopeful feature of these de
velopments is the correctness of method.
Meeting on an equality to adjust con
flicting interests promises much more
satisfactory results than independent
organizations or political appeals. 1t
imposes no improper burdens on the gov
eminent whose legitimate duty is to
give equal regulation and liberty to all
classes or interests. In avoiding gov
crnmental interference it strengthens
| government because it does not shackle
it with the burdens of one class op-
posed to all other classes. In these DAYS
of conferences of politicians in Wash
ington on industrial problems, organized
strikes and class chickering's these efforts
of large industrial organizations to deal
face to face with responsible represent
tatives of their employees form the great
est hope and promise of industrial JUS
tice and peace May they become more
general and hasten the day of industrial
peace and the most prosperous period of
industrial development the country has
ever known.

mont roads, the people who are accus
toned to use the highway between Barre
and White River Junction are sure to
take the Affirmative side, that is, in de-
Tense of Vermont 5 roads, for there is
no more velvety stretch of road in
northern New England than that same
highway, barring some comparatively
short stretches of road So we agree
with the Randolph Herald and News in
suggesting that before anyone attempts
to condemn Vermont highways as poor
he should take a trip over this route
from Barre to White River Junction, or
some other of the good highways in
eastern Vermont.
