EMPLOYEES AS PARTNERS.

Addressing the American Federation o. labor.
John T.. Frey. one Of IFS most influential leaders,
has been strongly urging that workers be given q
voice iu the determination of their industrial for
tunes BY this ne means giving the employees Of any
concern a place on the board Of directors or other
governing body. and letting them cooperate with
the employers in determining working conditions,
wages and the policies Of the industry in general
SIR. Frey was asked whether ne thought the or

ness so to speak. and given a chance to examine
the books and help run things. would not take a
selfish. one-sided attitude.
would they be willing for example. to abide
by the result in hard times as well AS i'm pros
porous times Would they accept cuts ln wages,
when profits go down. just as they would de-
mand raises when profits went up?'
lie answered:
Positively yes. BY the very fact Of the en-
ployer granting a position of partnership in in
dusty to his employees. the latter is given a
sense OF loyalty which ne did not feel before.
'He viii stand the gan as well as the en-
ployer. II 1 did not believe this would not be-
Heve in the future of America. II the character
OF any concerns employees is such. as regards
intelligence and fairness. that they will not be

then the workers of this country are not worth
~bothering about"
Many other labor leaders take the same posi-
ton. Their views are said to be corroborated by
the conduct Of the workmen in various concerns
where such a policy has already been adopted.
The plan as vet is still new. 1t has such strong
support. however. from clear-headed thinkers of all
classes, and is ginning its way so rapidly in practice.
that it will soon be possible TO discuss ue matter
from the standpoint Of actual experience.

experienced difficulty in cranking the

Finally we we're off. We could

children and running over any num-

BIRDS HAVE LEGAL

The Federal Migratory-3ird Treaty act has been
held constitutional in an opinion rendered by a fed
eral judge OF Arkansas in the case Of the United
States against a Memphis. Tenn. man charged with
killing and having in his possession one robin.
This is one Of the most important decisions ever
rendered concerning the protection OF wild life. It
sustains the right Of congress to enact legislation
70 secure the execution Of the treaty between this
country and Canada TO protect migratory birds. It
means also that one state cannot undo the protec-
tive measures Of another. and that these beautiful
and valuable friends of all mankind will be safe
from the depredations Of the bird-kiners who hunt
in season and out, killing for killings sake.
The arrest and prosecution Of a man for having
slain one robin marks a Ions step from the days
when lack Of protective legislation permitted the
humiliation OF the passenger pigeon and other
tribes Of bird kline.
Bird-lovers are doing their work we'll. and it is
to be hoped that soon education will bring the day
when all men viii be numbered in that class.
