COLLECTIVE BARGAINING.

The industrial conference at Wash |
ington. for which congress is appro-
priating $23 1000 seems likely to be
wrecked on the question of collective
bargaining The labor section is strong
for collective bargaining, apparently
rs the only method of dealing between
the employer and employees The en-
ployers or capital section is willing to
grant collective bargaining between
representatives chosen by the employees
and the employers of any factory but
insists it shall not abridge the right of
employees and employers to enter into
personal negotiations with each other.
The laboring man is not attending
fhc conference in person but the officials
If ORGANIZED labor are there They op-
pose he idea of The employees of a shor
choosing their own representatives from
among their number because it would
throw the union officials out of business.
Their salaries would stop and their po-
sition of middlemen between employees
and employers would be declared va
cant. The real issue before the confer
ence is whether the laboring man shall
select his own representatives to deal
with his employers or shall continue
to support force of salaried dictators
who neither spin nor toll.
The position of the union officials in
| the conference is weak. 1t would des-
troy the constitutional right of the in
dividual to sell his own labor, and sub
stitute a salaried broker in labor in his
place. Labor is no more anxious to
yield its power to trade with its en-
ployer than the farmer is to give the
right to sell his farm into the hands of
a salaried third party.
Another weakness in the position OF
these union officials is their inability
to deliver the labor they sell. The strike
of the printers in New York, of the
longshoremen, the steel workers, the
recent strike of the railroad shopmer
were all made in defiance of the order.
of the head union officials of the coun
} try. These representatives of la
Dor do not control labor. The union mel
, at Washington are asking powers they
know they could not exercise.
Dl Again the advocates of colleetiv,
D bargaining refuse to accept the re
2 sponsibility of making valid contracts
: They propose to make a contract 70
/, labor with employers and corporation
compelled by law to fulfill any con
tract they make but they themselve
will not incorporate so the employer
: can oblige them to fulfill their part o
, the contract. That is a very oneside
proposition that operates entirel
against the employer. 1t is not fair no
does it make business at all stable
When man has to keep his promis
with party that refuses to fulfill hi
part of the agreement he is headed to
wards both business and moral fail
L ure.
For these reasons the majority o
\ honorable and reliable citizens en-
, dorse the stand of capital as espresso
by f. H. Gary and will never consen
n to giving union officials such an uu
II fair advantage over them.

landscape disfgured. In this country
quite different conditions prevail and
nearly everywhere, especially along the
route of the motorist, the scene is
married by glazing signs. Some
of the worst offenders are manufactur-
ers who are most interested in motor
ing. Now someone comes forward with
the suggestion that it is the motorist
himself who can stop this by not pat
ronizing any concern which aids in de-
tracing from the natural beauty of the
country and the pleasure of the public.

Delaying WORK
ON PEACE TERMS
Unity Of Allies Broken In At.
tempt to Impress Each
Other With Importance
Of National Opinions.
BY JUSTIN M'GRATH.

Universal Service Staff Correspondent
Washington, April l8.-Two most
valuable lessons they learned by ex-
perience in war, the allies have
either forgotten or failed to apply
in the negotiations for peace.
One of these lessons was that
unity of command was necessary to
success.
The other was that great forces
operating together must never lose
their liaison with each other. When
the negotiations for peace were BE-
gun in Paris the conduct which the
allies had followed during the war
was sharply reversed. Instead of
unity there was division, instead of
liaisons being maintained the idea
seemed to be that each of the allies
must follow its own course to OBJ
tain what it had set its heart on &C
curing. Each of the powers rep
resented in the peace conference es-
tablished itself in separate head
quarters and instead of keeping
their liaisons unbroken every one
of the powers with the exception of
the United States seemed to be ami
mated by a desire to steal a
march" on the Others.
George Creel has claimed that

the most powerful single factor in
the winning of the war for the al
lies was the propaganda which they
carried on in the enemy nations.
As to that | have no knowledge
But from first hand knowledge
gained during two months stay in
Paris during the early days OF the
conference | do not hesitate to re-
cord my opinion that the most po-
tent single factor in delaying peace
has been the propaganda which each
of the allies has carried on in its
own and the other allied countries
since the armistice was signed.
The ink was hardly dry upon the
armistice document before each of
the allies started propaganda de
signed to impress the world and the
peace conference with the righteous.
ness of its demands and the impossi.
b'lity of securing an enduring peace
unless these demands were all con.
coded.
They issued literature by the tens
of thousands; they established press
bureaus to impress their national
point of view upon the newspapers
of Paris, London and America; they
ran special trains to show those
whose opinions they wished to in
fuence how just and reasonable
were their territorial claims or their
claims for damages done; they sent
propagandists everywhere 70 enlist
the sympathy of the allied peoples
for their particular demands.
As many of these demands con-
flicted bad feeling soon resulted.
