PASSING THE BUCK
ny DIR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1919. by Frank crane)

/ visited factory the other day where
are made womens coats and suits.
There are some thousand workpeople en-
ployed. and they have no labor troubles.
Strikes may come and strikes may go all
around this plant, but these workers grin
and keep at work.
Neither do they have lockouts.
An interesting phenomenon. And the
explanation is simple
The boss simply passed the buck"
That means he put the whole question
of labor, it's hiring and firing. its grievances,
its conditions, its hours and its wages, up
TO the laborers themselves.
He did not solve the labor question. He
turned it over to the laboring people.
Confronted with the shrieking disputes,
the clashing theories and the hot hates OF
Capital and Labor, he said: "Why should |
worry? Let George do it."
George is doing it. And everybody is
happy.
In this plant the workers have an indus
trial democracy. They elect their own
House of Representatives, which handles all
employment issues. II receives and adjusts
complaints. II regulates working hours,
hears and adjudicates quarrels and fixes
wages.
/ OF course, this cannot be done. 1t is i'm
possible.
! Still. il is done, and any one can go there
and see it, where it has been working
smoothly some years.
1t shows how Democracy in business
beats any Theory.
For Democracy means letting people run
their own affairs-that's all. II does not
mean helping" people. nor doing them
good nor any such thing.
But don't the workers make impossible
demands? Answer They never have.
And why should they? They know their
jobs depend on the prosperity of the con-
Germ: would they cripple it?
The only way they can be wronged is to
wrong themselves.
The whole rotten. vicious "Class" feeling
is absent in this factory.
! They're all human beings. II anything
does not suit them, they get together and
talk it over

"After dckering around for ten days found what

The wouldbe farmer will find few cheap horses these
