movers for the conference as a need
Of the hour While in Paris, as a mem
Der OF the Supreme Economic Council
Of the Peace Conference, he said in
an interview that il might as well be
recognized that the workers would
have a larger share in the conduct
Of industry, and that corporations
should be prepared for the represen-
tation OF workers on boards of direc-
tors. Because OF Mr.. Baruch's close
ness to the President this utterance
has been significantly coupled with
Mr. Wilson's statement in his mes
sage to Congress that the democratic
cation Of industrygwas at hand, and the
Presidents later statement, in the
call for this conference, that one Of
It's purposes was to put wages on
another footing" During the war
Mr.. Baruch was chairman Of that

questions as they come before the
