TIVE Lines OF Study.
"To my mind, the studies of the
conference should be directed along
two lines:
aFirst-There should be deter
mination of the principles that
should govern in all relations be-
tween employer and employe. This
should be founded on good con-
science, and should cover the question
Of wages TO labor and return on
capital, opportunity for advancement
and betternent and recognition OF
merit.
"Second-ShouId be the -determina-
ton OF ways by which these prin-
ciples might be carried out. II Is
here that vagueness and theoriZing
should be barred. Every employer
and every manager who comes into
the conference should be asked: How
do you handle these problems? What
is your practiceT
There are employers who are solv-
ing the problems OF production by
keeping their men satisfied and con-
tented by maintaining wholesome
and stimulating conditions in their
plants.
These methods should all be laid
before the conference. And from this
basis of known, tested methods there,
should be methods worked out which
will constitute a program acceptable
to the whole Of our industries-not
Just one method. but a selection or
combination of several methods appli-
cable to the different lines OF indus.

down and bearing the Endorsement OF
having been proved in actual prac-
tice."
workers Tee COAeentrated.
eve must stop the concentration Of
our workers In big cities" Lane said.
"if we are to solve for long the prob
lem OF soaring food prices. Consum-
ers are increasing more rapidly than
producers. There is no reason why a.
very large percentage Of our shop and
mill men could not produce much Of
their own food IL our factories and
shops were located with a view to the
WelI-belng and comfort Of the men
and their families, as well as to the
and comfort of capital.
sT know Of one mill town where
every worker has home with from
half an acre to an acre Of ground
around It. Each has his own gar
den-enough to produce all the vege-
tables he and his family needs. Each
OF them has pig or two, and most
OF them a COW. Each has a flock
OF chickens.
There is a method that capital
should consider in a location OF fu-
ture Industries. That alone would
help, not merely the workers at
plants so located, but would relieve
the cost OF living pressure ON those
who still must live in cities. II would
relieve transportation and in many
other ways contribute to a general
betterment OF all concerned"
