Seeks Says Mccormick.
CAssocInted Press)

Cleveland. O., oct 1.-The eX-
pressed desire Of labor to share in
the management Of business was de-
clared today by Cyrus Mccormick,
Jr, works manager Of the Interna-
tlonal Harvester company, to he IN
his opinion "the most significant fea-
ture in labor conditions of the day.
Mr.. Mccormick was speaking before
the National Safety Council on "Co-
operation and Industrial Progress.
"The underlying significance Of all
these movements is the final realiza-
tion that the relations Of employers
and employees must from now on be
formed on something besides a cash
basis. The workman Is as interested
as ever in his wages and in his hours,
but he IS asking for more. Some
times the demands are not well IN
derstood even by those putting them
forward. What the workman really
wants is self expression. They are
asking the right to discuss and ad-
Just matters affecting their own In

some explanation is necessary. All
information possible was gladly Civ
en- to those who were on the ground.
A bird must have sufficient merit TO
entitle it to a prize regardless of any
competition consequently some were
lpaced second, third, fourth and fifth
when no other bird was shown
against it. Also some We're disquali-
fled for minor defects which were ex-
lpained to the exhibitors. The eX-
lhibit proved to be quite educational
and next year it is planned to have
series of lectures for the benefit OF
the exhibitors or anyone interested
to help improve the flocks of poultry
both for show and utility qualities
which will enable the poultry raisers
to obtain better returns.
