Managers and Employees in c
operation.

The industrial conference called
by President Wilson December l to
take the place of the previous ILL.,
fated conference which came to grief
on the rocks and shoals Of collective
bargaining in October. has made it's
report and recommends joint organi-
Zation of management and employees
"as a means Of preventing misunder-
standing and of securing co-opera-
tive effort" in American industry.
This second conference board was
composed of II men Of whom Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson was. chairman
and Herbert Hoover vice chairman,
and did not make the fatal error of
starting on the tri-partite basis Of
capital, labor, public as it's pre-
dessor did. During the three months
the board has been Weighing and
trying to hit upon some means of
securing industrial peace in Ameri-
can industries plans without num-
Der have been proposed, tested and
rejected. The final report embodies
the unanimous recommendations OF
the board, and as described by Mr..
opinion as a measure of moral sua-
sion, and cooperation between en-
ployes and employers" as the foun-
dation stones.
Industrial problems vary not only
with each industry. the report says,
but in each establishment. "Ther-
fore the strategic place to begin
battle with misunderstanding is
within the industrial plant itself.
Primarily the settlement must come
from the bottom not from the top"
The conference, in expressing it's ap-
prevail of "employe representation"
says it is not a field for legislation,
because the form which such repre-
sentation should take may vary in
every plant. For this reason the
recommendation is directed solely to
managers and employees.
The joint organization Of managers
and employees recommended by the
board grows out of recognition Of the
varying nature Of the problems in
different industries and different es-
Establishments and is the regular
method to be employed in the settle
ment of industrial difficulties.
IF the joint organization of man
agement and employees in the plant
or industry fails to reach the COL
lective agreement" says the report,
cor if without such joint organiza-
ton. disputes arise which are not
settled by existing agencies, then
the Conference proposes a system of
settlement through a National In
dustrial Board, Local Regional Con-
ference and Boards Of Inquiry"
As explained by Mr.. Hoover the
Industrial plan proposed would oper-
ate as follows:
1.-THE regional chairman, as soon
as informed Of an industrial situa-
ton in which action is desirable,
will call upon both parties to enter a
conference. If the invitation be ac-
cepted, the participants enter with
the specific agreement that they will
be bound by the findings: If the in
vitation is declined or ignored by
either party. the chairman then Sc
lects two members from the en-
nl0Yea 2roun and 4uo from tho os,a

The Wonders Of America
BY T. T. MAxEY
THE NEW YORK STATE BARGE
CANAL.

TO open the western country and
j provide safe and cheap transpor-
tation for market-bound products, the
Improvement of the waterways was
an absolute necessity. Governor De-
Witt Clinton dreamed of a state-own-
ed canal. The route was inspected
and approved by President George
Washington, engineer and surveyor.
The Erie canal, opened in 1926, four
feet deep, AZ feet wide and floating
boats carrying 80 tons, was the result.
Many laughed at 1t, calling it "Clin-
toms Big Ditch" In conjunction with
the Niagara river, 1t connected Lake
Erie and the Hudson river.
Prior to its opening, Philadelphia
was Americas greatest seaport. Az
ter its completion, the shipping nat
urally went to New York and the
splendid chain Of prosperous cities
which won for New York the title OF
Empire state, sprang up along the
route. The canal did such an enor-
nous business that In 1903, the people
of the state decided to make II Q
barge canal, hence the name.
The present main canal is II feet
deep, IS to 200 feet wide, 800 miles
long and has three branches aggre-
eating 100 miles in length. 1t Is one
Of the worlds greatest engineering
feats and is ten times as long as the
Panama canal. 1t contains 81 locks,
each 1923 feet long and As feet wide.
Five at Waterford have a combined
lift of 1859 feet and are the greatest
series of high-lift locks in the world.
Three hundred or more bridges, car
rying railroads and public highways,
cross this canal. The total cost ap.
proximated $50. 000, 900, and is beinl
paid by the people Of the Empire state

COUNCIL RAISES CITY
TAXES TO 90 PER
CENT

Taxes for 1920 in New Orleans
will be collected on the basis of 80
per cent of the assessed valuation.
Members of the City Commission
Council at a special meeting Thurs
day passed an ordinance setting the
value for local and municipal tax
alton purposes for the year 1920 at
80 per cent of the assessed valua-
ton as fixed by law"
Last year the taxes were collect
ed on rs per cent of the value of the
assessment.
Commissioner of Public Finance
Kicks, who was acting mayor during
the illness of Mayor Benrman stated
that it was found necessary to raise
the percentage of the taxes, due to
the increased cost Of operating all
of the city departments, the en-
ployes of many of which nave lately
petitioned for increases in salary.
Mr.. Kicks said that the increased
taxes, so far as he could see, would
not give the city any great relief,
but that it would help out some in
making up deficiencies caused
through the lack of funds from sa-
looms and other licenses.

ATLAS TIRE co. OF La, INC.
MAKING RAPID PROGRESS

One of the leading and most re-
liable concerns in New Orleans is the
Atlas Tire Co., of La, inc, whose
large stock of automobile tires, tubes,
etc., is housed at 500 st. Charles
street. w. l.. Saxon is president of
the Atlas Tire Co., Inc, and w. L..
Riley is secretary-manager. On April
1st Messers Saxon and Riley pur-
chased their present business from
the Atlas Tire Co., which concern
had long conducted in New Orleans a
store in their chain of stores through
out the country, and since that time
the concern has been incorporated
under the laws of Louisiana.
Announcement is made that the At
las Tire Co., of La, Inc, very ma
terially increased their already large
stock and prestige, when on Monday,
May %, deal was contaminated
whereby the entire automobile bust
ness of the Para Rubber Co., of La,
one of the largest tire dealers in the
city, was sold to the Atlas Tire Co.
The deal involved large sum, how
ever it was an advantageous pur-
chase, and patrons and all other tire
users are going to reap the benefit
A large display ad in this issue of
The Herald tells of the very excep-
tional tire bargains now being offer
ed in this phenomenal sale.
The stock of the Atlas Tire Co.,
consists of all brand new factory tires,
some firsts and some seconds, but all
tires being of standard makes that
everybody knows. Through a strict
ly cash business policy this concern
is enabled to sell at exceptionally
cheap prices and therefore are in a
position to buy for cash, and pass on
to the consumer all these benefits.
Mr.. Saxon is an old timer in New
Orleans and we'll known and has a
world of friends. Mr.. Riley came to
New Orleans from New York a year
ago as representative of the American
Sponge & Chamois Co., and has made
many friends in the course of that
year, and, We are glad to say, is max
ing new friends every day, being lik-
ed by everybody. Louis Howrell, for
merly assistant manager of the Atlas
Tire Co., is still connected with the
firm, and is always glad to see his
old friends.
Below is printed a letter from the
