The Demands for

There is also possibility that the ,'on-
gress may be called upon to enact construc-
tive legislation based on Article 1873 of the
Constitution. establishing the relations of
capital and labor.

Mexican dailies and representing the CON-
servatlve element of the foreign colonies in
the republic, is of the opinion that while
this article is full of the best intentions.
IN practice it will beat least as regards
certain paragraphs the occasions of manv
conflicts and the cause of a growing en-
NIFTY and a nuisance to the collective in
terests of employer and worker
Article 1913 provides that Congress and
the state legislatures shall make laws rela-
tive to labor with due regard for the needs
of each region of the republic and in con-
formity with the following principles. and
these principles and laws shall govern the
labor Of skilled and unskilled workmen en-
ployes, domestic servants and artisans and
IN general every contract of labor
The principles set forth are an eight-hour
maximum for days work, seven-hour max
lmum for night work. no labor for women
and children after 10 O'Clock at night, no
dangerous or unhealthy occupations for
women and children under sixteen. no work
beyond six hours for children over twelve
and up to sixteen, contract for labor

Another class of the wealthy imagine that
the easiest solution is to buy labor leaders
from time TO time. But their efforts have
not been successful, because the moment
they get one safely bought he is kicked out
of Office. The real leaders of British in
dustry want to get down to brass tacks,
stop all jockeying for position, and settle
strikes for all time, and not merely for the
week end.
For instance the use of troops IN Belfast
and the Clyde and the threats Of the
government to imprison all strikers on
what we would call public utilities by an
Order in Council under authority of Dora,
is not looked upon wise, because indus
try cannot live in reign Of terror, whether
the government or the strikers are doing
the tcrrorzing. Look at what some of the
leaders have TO say and a good idea of the
sentiment Of big business can be had
Sir Vincent Caillard, chairman of Wick
ers, Ltd, the great war works: Both en-.
ployers and employed have been apt to
forget the root fact that we are all men.
On the one hand, employers have been too
ready to regard human beings as machines;
on the other hand, the employed have been
TOO ready tie regard the management as
merely heartess instrument for getting
the biggest possible return for the least
possible outlay. Thus there arose a posi-
ton which was largely regarded by both as
being inevitable. But my contention is
that it is not inevitable. will 20 further

but that it is the very antithesis of the
state of things which should exist and
which may exist

ready to take the big view--that mutual
confidence must be the foundation stone
on which must be reared the new indus

ident Of the Board of Trade: "Whether NV

recall one particular experience which had

undertakings rapidly succeeding the
other. Each of these undertakings had in
Its employ practically the same number Of
men-roughly speaking. about 100000 One
OF the undertakings was really the last
word in trade unionism; every single en-
ployc was bound to accept membership of
the union. The other undertaking was en-
trcly free from that influence. SO far as

justified by the facts in some action he had
taken. AS result of the method which
existed, many grievances were remedied.
No such machinery, at least no adequate
and satisfactory machinery. existed in con-
nectlon with the other undertaking. If
there was any grievance it lay smoudcring
beneath the surface, and having no oppor-
tunity for adjustment. The result CON
WINGED me that whether it is done by es-

lutely essential for the successful conduct

men are employed that there should be set

foliowlng this general thought of getting
together' numerous leagues Of employers
and employees have been formed throughout

leaders discuss problems with some little
results IN a concrete way, but with very
greas results in the way of getting a better

tangible result has been education on both

dustr.al councils, which are about to be MI.
INTO force, and which are popularity known
as the Whitley councils, because the RIGHT
Hon. j. H. Whitley was the chairman
OF the committee which made the report 10
Parliament containing the proposals.
The plan is this: Each industry shall
have National Joint Industrial Coun-
ci!' made up Of representatives of the En-
ployers' Association and the trade union.
which shall take up and settle all the larger
questions affecting that industry, such as
wages, hours, and the better coopcration
between employers and employed. Since
many questions are local, below the national
councils are to be district councils and be-
low them works committees in the factories

lar union memberships

Failing to Provide
For UnskilIed Toi!erS

The strength of the plan is TO be the
works committee. and it is hoped that the
higher councils will deal only with very
general matters, leaving to each works
very large measure of government The
committee suggested that the following
matters at least should come within the
purvicw Of the committees:
/. The better utilization Of the knowledge
Of the workpeople.
2. The rate and methods of wage pay
mcnt and particularly the securing to the
people CT any increased profits
3. Machinery for the quick settlement
of any differences between management and
men.
4. Technical education and training.
3. Securing to workpcopc the rights to
inventions which they may devise.
6. The general impro cement of the in
dustry.
This is rather a large programme, and it
is hoped that it will provide the necessary
preliminary education, so that the men can
actually qualify for hand in the manage
ment. The difficulties with the plan are
that the workers arc rapidly drifting away
from their regular organizations and NOV
ing in the direction of workers. rather than
craft unions. The Whitley plan provides
for the skilled man, but it makes little pro-
vision for the unskilled and unorganized
man, and it is that man who is to-day the
greatest probem. because he threatens to
reform himself into proletarat And
finally the Whitley system appears to many
to contain quite too much formality and to
hold the danger that the real objects will
be lost through excessive particularly in
organization and Interpretation of rules
and statutes.
