When Mrs. Wilson goes
shopping we have an idea that
one of her purchases will be a
copy of THE HAUNTED
BOOKSHOP, because the Presi-
dent will need some relaxation,
and this entertaining story deals
with a curious conspiracy con-
corning the voyage of the
George Washington.
In a way, Mr.. Wilson is the hero
Of this unusual book, whose nara
tive revolves in the mellow and
tobacco-laden setting of second
hand bookshop in Brooklyn. And
we think that the President will be
agreeably amused by the tale, and
by Roger Miff1in's description of
him as the statesman who had no
AK to grind-only pax to grind.

Question of Responsibility.

Whether or not the repreSe tiVeS
of the workers in industrial councils
! will assume a fair portion of re-
sponSibility remains to be determined.
SO long as shorter hours and higher
wages can be secured through strikes,
it is probable that the new co-opera-
tive plans will make slow progress,
but when the times arrives, as 1t in
eVitably must arrive, that strikes are
no longer successful. and when the
public will demand to be heard in the
settlement of wage disputes, it is be-
! lieved that more constructive prog
ress can be made in the working out
of cooperative management, and that
| the workers will then assume more
definite responsibility for production.
1t is obvious that responsibility must
be assumed by the workers if the in
dustries of the United States are to be
! placed upon more democratic or CO.
operative basis.
| Efforts to introduce better training
systems and more scientific employ
ment methods are meeting with no
opposition and are progressing stead :
| ily. Also, efforts to encourage thrift
(to include home owning). group in
, surance and sick and death benefit
features are meeting with encour'
agement.
The survey also disclosed that plans
to insure stock ownership by employees
in the company by which they are en-
ployed are rapidly becoming installed,
the number of companies now install
ling this feature being far in excess
of the number that were working on
SIMILAR plans prior to the recon
struction period. Stock ownership
plans almost invariably include pro-
vision for service annuities or retire.
ment pensions.
The crux of the situation seems to
be acceptance of responsibility by the
representatives of the workers for
greater output commensurate with
shorter hours and higher wages.

THREE METHODS GIVE VOICE
TO EMPLOYEES IN INDUSTRIES
Chief Problem Is Acceptance by Workers
of Responsibility for an Ade-
quate Output.

To what extent the readjustment OF
working conditions in the industries
of the United States is giving the
workers voice in management at
the moment it is difficult to deter
mine. The effort to democratize the
industries is making steady progress,
but so far results are not conclusive.
The National Association of Corpor-
alton Schools, with headquarters in
New York city. which is studying the
i-oh.am of more equitable distribu-
zion ~ created wealth through indus
rial pursuits. and also attempting to
eliminate present wastes due TO lock-
oats. strikes and other forms of in
dustrial strife. through scientific en-
ployment. training of the industrial
workers and other personnel prob
sens. and in which 1873 of the larger
industrial institutions of the United
States have membership. advises that
& recent inquiry among several hum
dred industrial corporations reveals
that there are three plans which are
being used, all designed to give en-
ployeS greater voice in management,
especially as relates to working con-
ditionS, hours and wages.
Results of Inquiry.
The results of the inquiry indicate
that considera BILE majority of the
larger industrial institutions have
either inaugurated some one of the
three plans or are studying the va
riouS plans and gathering data on
results so far obtained, with a view
to determining which of the plans
they will inaugurate.
The plans are known as the works
committee" plan. the industrial coun-
ell" plan and the House and Senate"
plan. Their purposes are practically
the same, but the methods of opera
ton differ. So far as known. none of
these plans involve direct representa-
ton on the part of the workers on the
board of directors. However. 1t is
anticipated, if it is found, as a result
of experiments, that employees assume
the responsibility which logically
they must assume if they are to have
a continuing voice in management,
that ultimately employees will be per-
mitted to name a minority representa-
ton upon the board. Such action
probably will occur only in industrial
Institutions where a considera bic
humber ofemployes holds stock, and
the representation they secure upon
the board of directors will be depend
.nt upon the amount of shares of
stock represented by the employees
who have a right to vote for such
representation.
Experience of One Company.
In one of the largest industrial in
situations where the industrial coun-
cil'' plan has been made effective the
imm edate result was a request on the
part of the employees representatives
in the industrial council for an in
crease in wages and shorter working
hours This was followed by an ava
lanche of requests from individual
employees for increases in wages.
When 1t was pointed out to the rep
resentatives of the employees, by the
members of the industrial council
representing the stockholders and
management. that such action would

necessarily involve an increase in the
cost of the product of the company
and that this increase would bring
the selling price of the companys
product to figure considerably high
er than the selling price of their COM
petitors, the request for shorter hours
and increased wages was temporarily,
at least, withdrawn. In other words,
the immediate results of giving d
voice to employees through delegated
representatives wre wholly Slfish and
not based upon investigation as to
conditions, and were made without
any assumption of responsibility
whatsoever
In at least three large industrial in
situations where some one of the
three plans has been introduced
strikes have followed within period
of one month. In other companies
the plans have worked well. although
the period of trial is of too short du-
ration to admit of any conclusions as
to what will be the final results and
as to what definite attitude the rep
resentatives of employees may ulti-
mately take. The assumption may be
safely made, however, that employees
of industrial corporations will con-
tinue to demand voice in those prob
lens of management which affect
wages, working conditions and hours
of labor.
