change in Industrial organization
which can be undertaken in our

The underlying principle of the

Mr.. Litchfield. affords the surest
guide for solving the present in

the equality of individuals. human

Must Encourage Progress.
The time has now arrived when
encouragement must be given to
the progressive evolution of in
dustry from the state where labor
hires itself out to capital, to the
state where labor will manage the
business and undertake the obIi-
cations which are necessary to
insure those who have capital that
they may safely lend it to the or
sanization of those who labor, for
the mutual benefit of both.
The main cause of industrial I'M

force. We have spent relatively
too large an effort in the past to
obtain the goodwill of the Gus
toner. and those who furnish the
capital. and too little to obtain the
goodwill of labor. The. time has
come for q serious consideration
and some definite action toward the
solution Of this problem. Really
ing the problem. the possible solu-
tons will be many. Any real solu-

goodwill and confidence OF labor,
and this can only be done by direct
representation of labor in manage
