MINING MEN SOLVING PROBLEMS.

TT |GSTERN men are taking progressive views
LIZ in regard to the labor situation and by their
constructive policies have eliminated much
for labor radicasln in basic industries such as min
ing and numbering.
In extending and perfectng definite labor
policy the Utah Copper CO. is representative OF
western industry
With a view to bringing employer and employee
closer together in the present revolutionary state
of world affairs, R. c. Gemmell, general manager
of the Utah Copper Co., has given out a statement
made to his men as follows:
with the object of maintaining the present
pleasant relations existing between the manage
ment and the employees, the Utah Copper Co. in
vites the employees to select representative COM
nlittee to consult with the managing and Superln-
tending officits on subjects of mutual interest"
Although we are proposing that the men deal
with the officials through elected committees never
theless wish to state that the offices of the
pany officials will continue to remain open to all en-
ployees for the discussion of any and all subjects of
mutual interest.
Ballots will be furnished at the time office for
the election of an employees committee to consist
Of three members from each division"
Each employee will vote, by ballot, for three
members in his division The ballots will be depOs-
tied in ballot box in the time office and the
ployees will be requested to select committee of
three to act jointly with similar committee ap-
pointed by the management to supervise the elect
ion and count the ballots"
"Only employees shall have the right to vote.
No official of the company, foreman nor any
person having the right to employ, remove or dis
charge an employee shall be entitled to vote"
'"The three candidates in each department re-
cevng the highest number of votes will be declared
elected" ~

7 IIOLONEL H. M. Byllesby lays bare the meat Of
4 the utility question when he says:
- "The trend of events in the utility situa-
ton is one which should command most
est thoughtful and active attention. 1t seems to
me that our laws should be so adjusted as to enable
these companies to make such fair return upon
their investment as will enable them to find capital
continuously for the further extension of their
: enterprises which the growth of the community
served and the improvements in the art render in
creasingly necessary. These laws and regulations
at the hands of Commissions other properly auth
orized bodies should encourage in every proper way
the spirit of enterprise and provide profitable
return beyond the bare interest on the cost of
the properties in order to bring to bear the very best
inventive and enterprising capacities of all those en-
gagged in this business.
"If utility companies are to be allowed full scope
for the exercise of ingenuity and enterprise, they
must be allowed not only sttndard return for the
T capital invested in other enterprises of an at all
similar nature, but in addition to this some fair,
reasonable allowance to compensate for the exercise
of painstaking continuous industry, ingenuity and
enterprise"

haps some of the strong arm" meas
ures used during that time were neces-
sary also. But this necessity did not
prevent a feeling Of resentment on the
part of many persons, who were will
ing to give as much as their means
would allow, but who were dictated to
by some unknown and unseen persons
who made out the amounts of these
contributions This feeling of resent
ment was very strong by the time of
the close of the war-even stronger,
because it had been concealed and be-
cause no one dared face the suspicion
Of being unpatriotic.
Nevertheless, these drives" were all
necessary, and perhaps all the methods
were necessary But when the war
ended, various semi-public. charitable,
religious and political institutions had
learned valuable lessons in soliciting
funds. The war method was adapted
to these new campaigns to as great
an extent as possible. We have had

modelled on the wartime idea OF al
