committee, representing eight nations,
to draft plans for submittal Wednesday.
The motion for the creation of the
Pan-American division was adopted
unanimously, following an address by

Normal industrial conditions can com
only when definite peace terms hav
been agreed to BY the leading nation
OF the world, Samuel Gompers, presiden
of the American Federation of Labor
declared in an address read to the con
vention.
Urging prompt ratification Of tn
treaty as an absolute necessity, Mr.
Gompers said:
That treaty is not perfect; but 1t 4

dealing with some of the things which
cause wars"
Mr.. Gomperss address was read in
connection with a triangular discussion
which marked the opening session.
Festus J. Wade of st. Louis will present
the side of capital and Representative
Champ Clark of Missouri will speak
from the view of the consumer.
Cooperation for production depends
fundamentally" Mr.. Gomperss paper
said, upon good will. Good will can
not be forced, It must be earned. The
only way in which workers in industry
may express and defend their rights ard
interests is through organization and
responsible representatives.
Two fallacies have been so frequently
repeated as to be accepted by casual
readers and hearers. 1t Is said that
requests for increased wages necessitate
Increase in price, which increases cost
Of living and in return results In more
wage Demands vicious circle which
leads to no progress. High wages have
invariably resulted in constructive
changes. beneficial to workers, and have
resulted in increased production.
The second misstatement used to the
discredit Of wage earners Is that output
is deliberately restricted by the organ
lied labor movement and by Limitation
of hours of work. In many Industries
production is below pre-war volume. This
is not due to labor but to unsettled
trade conditions, managerial policies and
high costs of raw materials. Wage
earners as well as employers are anx-
ious to end this period"
Later the convention adopted a reso-
luton urging speedy ratification of the
peace treaty and the League of Nations

MILK CONCERN HEAD
EXPECTS RAISE NOV. I
Horton Tells Probers of In
creased Wage Demands.

Lotion Horton, president of the Shelf
neld Farms-Slawson Decker Company,
testified yesterday at the second session
OF the Governors milk committee, of
which DR.. Copeland, Health Commits
sloner, is chairman, that he would be
glad to reduce the price of Grade b milk
below l6 cents quart II anybody could
show him how 1t could be done. In his
Judgment, he added, the price will have
TO be advanced November 1. With the
labor situation as It is to-day and other
clements Of overhead increasing, he said,
the distributor either will have to liqui-
date or 90 to the public and ask a fair
price for his product.
Mr.. Horton read a letter from his en-
pioyees in which wage increases were
asked that would make the average from
sSo 10 $50 week To meet this, he
sac. It would be necessary to add nine
tenth OF cent quart to the price the
company gets for its milk.

Jacob Is no bookworm but just an
ordinary boy with a good healthy boys

youngest student to graduate from Har-

for money. Generally things are capital.
The man whose patient labour made-the fish
hooks was entitled to a share of the catch, and
to-day the claim of Capital to rank as one Of
the partners in industry is just. If by some
unfortunate miracle the whole of the capital of
Great Britain-its railroads, its mines, its
buildings, its works, its plant, its tools, its
roads-were whirled skyward in the night, we
should once more be a mass of unaided men
struggling grimly with the bare gifts of nature
for a miserable livelihood. Every man who
saves instead of spending, who works to-day
and postpones enjoyment till tomorrow, who
sows in spring in hope of harvest,in autumn,
adds to the available amount of capital, adds,
that is, to the apparatus by which Labour in
creases its own efficiency.
The third partner is Brain. If you watch
village smithy where the blacksmith, who is
in part a capitalist, works alongside his man,
you may think that so far as the smithy is con-
cerned it would make little difference if master
were man and man master. AS the scale of
industry grows, as works get larger and larger,
buying raw materials and selling finished
articles in every corner of the globe, the need
for men of brains, able to direct and organize
all these lines of activity, becomes obvious.
We cannot go back to the methods of our
forefathers; in attempting to do so we should,
like the Bolshevists in Russia, bring our own
civilization down about our ears, for there are
a dozen mouths to feed where there was once
but one. For the great operations Of modern
industry the best brains of the country are re-
quired. Brain ranks with Capital and Labour
as partner in industry
A study of the condition of this country
three or four hundred years ago shows that
wonderful progress has been made. Progress
is many-sided. 1t is moral, spiritual, political,
civic. These are the finer aspects of progress,
but behind them lies economic progress, the
winning of a life more full of the good things
Of life; and this economic progress has been
due to the growth in numbers and capacity of
the three partners of industry. Their future
depends upon the recognition by each of them
of their mutual dependence and their common
interest.

1.-The Partners

If you have read Robert Louis Stevenson's
stirring tale, Kidnapped" you will remem-
Der how David Balfour and Alan Brock,
when they were hiding on the mountains and
had nothing to eat but a little porridge, added
to their food by cropping for trout in the stream.
Cropping for trout is catching them with your
naked hand, by feeling for them very gently
under the banks and between the stones, and
grabbing one, if you can, when you feel him.
With much effort David and Alan managed to
catch a few small fish.
The steam trawler goes out into the deeps
Swhere the fish shoal BY the million. 1t has
of nets, storage for hundreds of tons Of fish,
a skilled master, and experienced hands.
Alan and David could only supply themselves
with one or two small fish. A modern steam
trawler can feed stable town. The differ
ence in results is enormous. In one case you
have individual and primitive effort, in the
other the union in modern industry of three
partners, each contributing a share to the final
result, but each dependent on the other two
The first of these partners is, of course,
Labour. The trawler will lie in harbour till
it rots If no men go on board to get up steam
and head her to the fishing grounds. Nova
days. practical men of affairs, anxious only to
obtain the best results, have learnt . to
regard Labour as what it is, namely, one of
the partners in industry. 1t is neither more
nor less. But if Labour is to maintain its
title to rank as partner 1T must act as a
partner. 1t must contribute its share to the
joint concern gladly and fully. That done,
Labour is entitled to full share of the results
achieved.
What is Capital?
The second partner is Capital. In the
earliest days of human existence on the earth
man must have caught his fish as David and
Alan caught their trout, but mingled with the
bones of later men are found the rough fish
hooks which they had invented to aid them in
their fishing. These fsh-hooks then repre-
scented capital just as in our times the steam
trawler does. So many people make the mis-
take of thinking that capital is another word
