suddenly gave way and the Presi-

while it was going thirty-five miles
an hour. and landed in the gravel
beside the track, missing an iron
block by a fraction OF an inch. He
was unconscious for half an hour
until discovered by a trackwaIker
named Duradot. who saw something
white beside the track
Investigation showed a man clad
in silk pajamas. The victim. then
recovering consciousness, asked for
aid to the nearest village and the
services OF a doctor. Duradot asked
his name. and when Informed that
/ it was the President Of the repub-
lie expressed lively doubts and
asked the PROSTATE hgure to calm
himself and not TO get excited"
Duradot then helped the Presi-
dent down the track to a tiny bar

Ill we eradicate the misery which
the ruthlessness Of individualIsm
has imposed upon a minority.
The great ranks OF our people
are neither radical nor reactionary.
Their ideal is individual liberty. the
production and stimulation Of in
dividual initiative under the Amer
lean condition that there shall be
equal opportunity to all
They comprehend that the whole
mass can progress in its moral. in
tellectusl. and physical standards
only through the progress Of each
individual. Their ideal is that We
can secure this only by a mainte-
nance of equality OF opportunity to
each and every man and woman 10
take that niche in our community
TO which their abilities and char
aCter entitle them
They realize that this is the only
protection from frozen class bar
riers: either on one hand. Of the
class domination of reaction. or. on
the other. of the sitting bureau
cratic domination OF Socialism.
They understand full well that the
domination of any individual or
any interest Is a negs tion Of our
real national faith.
our task then is to End some ba-
sis for the work relation which
shall allow the fullest opportunity
and we are making more dificult
and not at all accomplishing thar
task when we attempt any fixed
and rigid program that in effect
only tries to keep conditions more
or less as they are. We shall go
forward the more quickly with a
broad basis for the exchange of
views between the various parties
to industry, operating through
some form of organization that
not only permits free expression
but also makes possible the full
realization of the mutual respon-
sibilities OF industry.
A suggestion for a method OF or
ganizRtion is contained in the re-
port of the Industrial Conference
and IL is the best suggestion that
/ have to offer. In brief. the re-
port finds that the establishment
of some shop forum TO which the
workers elect representatives gives
an opportunity for the expression
that we desire, provided that the
representatives are freely elected
given ODnOF-
tunitg to discuss and make recon-
mendations upon the conduct of
the bNsiress-that is. that they are
charged with responsibility and are
not merely courts OF first instance
for the adjudication OF disputes.
Beyond this measure Of preyen-
tion of conflict there is the real
problem of conflict itself. In this
the Industrial Conference put for
ward the proposal that real prog
ross had been made In the last 30
years by, labor organization and its
principle OF collective
bargaining: its voluntary associa-
tion of arbitration and Cancellation:
that the failure to enter these pro-
cesses was the cause of conflict;
that IL these processes could be bet
ter organized; that II public opin-
ion could be brought to bear TO
compel their organization, then we
should have made a natural and
safe step-and we should have pro-
NOTED not compulsion but self gov
ernment In industry.
