''Alake Workers Peers of StockhoIders!''
Economist Contends Industrial Morale Will Be Low
Until Wage Farmers Become Insiders i'm Business
Enterprises; Says Change Is Likely to Come Slowly

q part Of the enterprises for which
are not in part theirs. is the fact that
industrial enterprises are devoted pri-
marlly or exclusively to the service
of the stockholders, often ct the ex-
pense of the interests Of the men.
When the men observe how completely
outside the purposes of business enter
prises is The promotion of their inter-
csts, they cannot escape feeling them
selves to be merely outsiders.
Suppose however, that the elaborate
organizations which the workmen now
see devoted to the interests Of the
stockholders were conducted equally
for the benefit OF both the workmen
and stockh olders, that the object of
ceaseless striving after efficiency and
lower costs were just as much the
paying Of higher wages as the paying
Of higher dividends, and that every
increase IN profits meant just as much
an Increase in wages as it did an in
crease in dividends. Instead of feel
ing themselves mere tools employed
for the profit Of the stockholders, the
men would be able to feel that indus
try existed as much for them as for
any one else; that industrial enter
prises, instead OF being their masters,
attempting to get as much out Of them
az possible, were their servants, at
tempting to produce as much for them
as possible. Knowing that industry
was being conducted as much for their
benefit as for the benefit Of the stock
holders, the workmen would be able
to feel that industry in part belonged
to them and that they were part of
il. They would feel themselves to be
insiders and would feel the interest
in the affairs Of industry and the re-
sponsiblity for its prosperity which
an insider, as contrusted with an out
slider, feels.
1t appears that II cooperation is to
be obtained In industry II must be
mutual, that labor cannot be expected
to give its best effort to industry until
Industry, instead of being the servant
of capital and master OF labor, is the
joint servant of them both, devoted
equally to the advancement Of the
interests OF each. But the question
may be asked does not this imply the
necessity of fundamental change in
industrial organization? II industry
is to be made as much the servant Of
labor as Of capital, and If labor is to
share just as directly in the increased
prosperity or efficiency Of industry as
capital does, must not labor share
equally with capital in the control of

MIORkERS cannot be expected to
be more interested in promoting
the prosperity of industry than indus
try is in promoting the prosperity of
the workmen.
When Industry seeks to keep wage.
low and hours long. when it consistent
~ resists the workmen's efforts to raise
their standard Of life, workmen cannot
be expected to be interested in helping
to make profits large The workman
fails to see why he should help the
business nan make money when the
business man Is not helping him to
make money.
An active effort on the part OF the
workmen to promote the prosperity of
industry con scarcely be expected until
the workmen feel that industry is a
friendly rather than hostile force
untll they believe it is interested in
making wages higher, not in keeping
them low; in making hours shorter. not
in keeping them long, and In mitigating
the severity Of the work, not in en-
forcing the maximum speed; until they
believe they will promptly and directly
share IN any increase in the prosperity
of the industry. Wages and conditions
of labor must be determined by the
same principle by which dividends are
determined-b the ability of industry
to pay more or to improve conditions,
not by the necessity of doing SO.
This appears to touch the crux Of
the problem of industrial morale
Workmen cannot be expected to feel
the maximum interest in the affairs
of industry and the greatest willing
ness to cooperate in order to ote
its prosperity unless they are able to
Identify themselves with industry. To
feel themselves a part Of it, insiders
in it, to feel also a sense of owne rshiu
in it. The feeling of belonging to g
thing appears commonly to induce q
feeling of ownership toward It, They
cannot feel themselves to be q part of
industry nor industry to be in part
theirs unless industry Is devoted In d
substantial measure to the promotion
Of their interests, unless managements
strive just as encrgetica'y tN ra sc
wages as they do to raise dividends

between industry and the men, whicf,
causes them to feel that they are not

sion 50 to increase rates ss 60 enable
tho roads In each rate territory to
earn per cent upon the value of their
property. The refusal Of the State Of
New York to apply these increases In
full to interstate business deprived the
roads in this district of S12,O000 900 an
nually and TO that extent defeated the
declared purpose of Congress.
Effect of Regulation
AS pointed out by Commissioner
Eastman in his dissent, the effect of
this is that whenever an increase is
made Of any considerable extent in in
terstate rates, corresponding increase
n intrastate rates must be made, if
discrimination against interstate com
merce is to be avoided, and applica-
tons by the carriers to the state COM
missions for auth hority to increase be-
come only matter Of courtesy. In
act, the railways of New York State
in this case presented no evidence to
the state authorities of the existence
# discrimination, and the New York
Public Service Commission denied their
application for increases solely for
ack of evidence. The decision Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
based primarily upon grounds of public
policy.
The courts will have to pass upon this
'atcst encroachment upon state prerog-
tives. However, If anything can be pre-
dcted from the tone Of the court in
recent decisions of this character, and
from the fundamental spirit of the

Arkansas Educational
 Association Formed

In order thatits influence might be extended. the Arkansas Teach ers' Association has changed it's name to that of the Educational Association of Arkansas, and has incorporated into it's machinery a Citizens Section, like Teachers Association, but it is hoped with increased prestige. This organ ization has for it's object the ad- vancement of the educational in- terests of our State.
 As thoughtful men and women we might as well recognize and face the crisis through which We are passing. According to the standards applied by the Russell Sage Foundation committee, our State ranks now third from the bottom in the matter of school efficiency. This standard takes into consideration several of the factors which enter into school machinery equipment of teach CTS, salary paid. school equip ment, percentage of students Of scholastic age enrolled in school. average attendance. number of teacherages. etc. Now, it is ob- vi0us that several. at least, of these standards of measurement are fundamental.
 Like that of the Teachers Asso- citation. the membership fee for the Educational Association is fixed at one dollar. This fund will be employed by a joint com mittee of teachers and laymen in putting on a campaign for better schools which. it is bell we'd. will bear fruit among other things in a constitutional amendment in- creasing the limi' of levy for a loca tax. In addition. a sp'endid proeram will be present. d t the annual meeting of the Associa tion. November 11th to 18th. in- elusive.
 It is hoped that every teacher who can do so will arrange to at- tend and that large number of directors and other leaders in the educational life of our state will embrace this opportunity to ac- quaint themselves with school conditions and-n eds and also to gather there inSpirar ion for the campaiga which means SO much for the boys a1d gifts of their communities.
