Mr.. Churchill, in explaining why such stress
is laid on the education of foremen. 1T is
the smaller boss the supervisor, who rubs
elbows with the men daily. The first thing
Is to make the foreman see the human ele-
ment in the workingman, instead of regard
ing him a machine When this is done
much is accomplished in the direction of
wipng out friction and grievances"
One OF the most promising of the new
employees organizations is the association
formed last spring by Gen. T. Coleman du
Pont, head of the vast Du Pont interests
The purpose of this society is to counteract
by educational means among the workers
the Bolshevistic and Communstic propa-
ganda which is being disseminated through
the industrial centres by radical organiza-
tons.
More than hundred of the largest con-
Germs in the country already belong to the
new body while scores of the smaller com
panies are enrolled. The feature of the Du
Pont plan as now devolved is essentially
as follows:
When radical and Communistic activities
sprout out in any concern which is mem
Der of the association, the managers will
not, as hitherto, discharge the agitators and
attempt to forbid the workmen to attend
the Red meetings. Instead a trained lee
turer scores of whom will be on the pay
rolls of the association, will be sent to the
plant affected, will take his place in the
ranks of the men and spread the truth about
Boshevsm among the workers. 1t is in
plain words a plan to eradicate the Bolshe-
vistic poison by the antidote of truth on the
actual doctrines and practices of the Red CO.
horts. One of the most enthusiastic hackers
of the plan is Samuel Vauclain, president of
the Baldwin Locomotive Works.
In the opinion of one of the greatest en-
ployers in the country the cooperative coun-
Gil has come to stay, and bids fair to become
one Of the outstanding features of Ameri-
can industrial life. Giving the workmen a
greater responsibility in the actual conduct
of a business, this man maintains, is the
greatest stabilizer in modern industrial un-
rest, with the possible exception of the
profit sharing plan, and he believes that the
universal adoption of the system is only a
question of few years.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1920-10-10

according to A J. Churchill, executive Sec
rotary, believes that the foreman is the most
important unit in the industrial scheme or
things. The foreman, says Mr.. Churchill, is
practically the only executive who comes
into direct contact with the men, The theory
Of the association is that much can be ac-
complished through the education Of the
foreman. The educational work Is carried
on in two other groups besides the foreman;
the first composed of presidents, managers,
engineers superintendent, &c, and the Sec
ond consisting of employment managers,
personnel supervisors, doctors, service work
ers and others of that line.
Scores of the larger Philadelphia indus
tries already belong to this organization.
Among the members are the Midvale Steel
Company the Barrett Company, the Fayette
r. Plumb Company, the Leeds & Northrup
Company. the Miller Lock Company, David
Lupkin & Sons Company and many other
firms.
The prime purpose of the association is
TO bring about the elimination of friction
between the workmen and the executives
within the departments. The association Is
composed of employing firms and executives
from presidents to assistant foremen. The
process by which it operates is that of CO.
operative educational work, research and
study in the field of human relations in in
dustrial and mercantile life.
The educa tional work is conducted in reg
ular study classes. The president group
meets occasionally for conference on special
phases of employment relations. The en-
ployment managers hold monthly confer
ences for detailed study of employment
problems and for the interchange of ideas
upon the subject of management The gen.
eral foremens meetings are held once a
month, at which lectures and discussion on
topics ranging from the meaning of "over-
head" to Bolshevsm are taken up. Then
there are development courses for foremen,
including a series of ten lectures to be given
at the plant, formal study courses on pro-
duction principles and personnel manage
ment, and technical lecture series for special
groups.
The Human Element.
"The workingman very seldom sees the
higher executives Of an establishment" said
