PRIMARY CAUSE OF UNREST
With the Passing of "Small Business
Went the Feeling of Community
Interest, Which Meant
So Much.
Article VIII.
sy FRANK coMERFoRD.

Not many years ago something hap
pened which changed the relations be-
tween employer and employee. That
happening has had a marked effect
upon industrial discomfort. Something
was lost out of the relation between
the owner and the men who worked
for him. The human element, the Pc
sonal touch, between the boss and the
workers stopped. With its passing I'M
rest grew with great vigor. 1t was Il
new kind of unrest, too. It was last
ing, determined, resolute discomfort.
This came to pass in the day that
small business entered the twilight.
In the day of the small plant, bust
ness was owned and run by man, or
number of men, doing business as Il
partnership. These men lived in the
community in which their men lived
They worked with their men. In the
front of the plant was the Office of the
Boss. He was on the job. He wasn't
a hired boss. either-he was the reai
bosl,-the owner. The sign under
which the business was run bore his
narae. 1t identified him with the bust
ness. The Boss had his home in the
city in which the plant was located

the children of his workmen went. i

Good morning" when he saw ther
on the street Few people realize
how much this meant to harmoniou
relations in the Industrial worlt
When working men had a grievance
or thought they had, they took il d
rectly to the Boss. He talked 1t owe
with them. He was reasonable an
i fair. If the complaint was we'll found

satisfied He had had his say. II
