have gone down TO fundamentals and
tackled every problem from rock-bot-

the parties in interest in d single

tended to include all plants in the
same industry throughout nation,
all industries in a community, in
nation and in the various nations"
This plan is in general line with
the Whitley plan in England, rec
ommended by committee Of Par

ton for the future 1t has been ap-
piled to number Of industries in
England. It's proposals were thus de-
scribed by our Employers Industrial
Commission, which investigated la
bor conditions in England:
81. Joint standing Industrial
councils made up of representatives
Of employers and employees to deal
with the larger questions that affect
the industry throughout the whole
country.
"2. District councils constituted
in like manner to deal with matters
of local concern.
'3. Work committees also com
posed Of representatives of the
workers in each plant and the man
agement, to deal with conditions af-
fecting each shop, buo not touching
the larger aspects handled by the
district councils or the national joint
standing industrial council. Such
matters as shop sanitation. the hours
of beginning and ending work,
luncheon time and rest periocs are
to be dealt with by the works com
mittee."
New-York tribune., 1919-10-05

working out this principle. Yet it
was recognized, III very general and
vague phraseology. in the United
States Chamber Of Commerce prin-
ciples referred to before. The prin-
clple was stated as follows:
Industrial harmony and pros
perity will be most effectually pro-
noted by adequate representation
Of the parties in interest. Existing
forms Of presentation should be
carefully studied and availed of in
SO far as they may be found to have
merit and are adaptable to the
peculiar conditions in the various
industries.
Mr.. John D. Rockefeller, jr.,
member of the conference, has
stated his conception of how such
representation can best be worked
out, as follows
II believe that the most effective
structure Of representation is that
New-York tribune., 1919-10-05

What conclusions are likely to be
reached?
What are the chances that this
conference will succeed in hating
the present Industrial warfare. con-
cededly the most threatening that
the country has ever faced?
Much hangs upon the conference.
With a large part of labor truce
at present exists. The steel labor
leaders refused to postpone their
strike Until after the conference.
But the railway shopmen yielded to
the request of the President for
delay The miners propose d strike
in November. Unless some solution
generally satisfactory to labor is
reached by the conference the pres
ent truce is likely TO end in welter
Of strikes and lockouts by the side
Of which even the present extraordi-
nary unrest will seem mild.

of the soviet theory. But the phrase
was qualified by the words Chased
upon a full recognition of the right
of those who work, in whatever
rank, to participate in some organic
way in every decision which direct
ly affects their welfare or the
part they play in industry This
idea is susceptible of various inter
pretations, but it seems to lean
toward the joint board system of
shop management rather than the
socalization of an entire industry,
such as the radicals desire.
The labor director is viewed
askance by many radicals who
feel that little is to be gained by
such representation. More opinion
seems likely to unite on the princi-
pie OF presentation in joint shop

boards of control Not much has
been done in this country toward

criterion. A typical expression of
capitals view was that enunciated
by the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States IN its principle of
industrial peace agreed to by a
referendum vote of it's member
organizations:
The right of workers to organ
ize is as clearly recognized as that
of any other element or part of the
community
A more striking statement of the
same idea was contained in the ma
tional agreement Of the electrical
workers and electrical contractors
and dealers. In many respects this
industrial peace treaty is the most
intelligent and carefully devised yet
written. The clause as to labor
unions is as follows:
Cooperation between employees
and employers acquires construc-
tive power as both employees and
employers become more completely
organized"
One Of the most conspicuous op.
ponents of organization, or. more
accurately, of national unionization
is Mr. Gary, whose testimony be
fore the Senate committee made
clear the point of view Of the en-
ployer who feels that unionizatior
leads inevitably to the closed shop
This point of view seems to be il
the minority, and the chances al
point to the adoption by the Wash
ington conference of strong
declaration in favor Of organlza
ton.
If it does this. it will be follow
:ng the precedent Of England
where all the wartime labor con
ierences began by accepting organi
zation as d settled and highly de
sirable principle.
