MODERN INDUSTRY
AND UNIONISM AS
GOMPERS SEES IT

Washington, Nov. 13.-Organized
labor will welcome whatever assist
ance research and science can offer
to modern industry, President Com
pers of the American Federation Of
Labor today told delegates gathered
here for the preliminary conferences
on industrial research. A part Of or
ganized labor toward these scientific
study conditions surrounding pro-
duction, and to the assemblage Of
data, a persistent effort has been
made to saddle upon labor the odium
of opposition to improved methods
and machinery in production" Mr..
Gompers said. "This is not true as a
general statement. What labor has
opposed is an. effort to exploit them
by the use of improvements that are
intended as a blessing to mankind.
Labor is rightly suspicious OF
changes which are introduced with
out explanation and whose effect
upon their welfare is not considered.
Labor is not opposed to increased
production or improved methods.
Quite the contrary. We recognize
there. can be no permanent better
ment of standards of living for all
except by increasing the things that
contribute to better and more salts
factory living. But we hold as a
fundamental that material products
are not the ultimate Of production,
but service in a better life for hu-
manity.
81 take it all of US have too much
vision and experience TO think we
can solve the labor problem. That
is a life problem that will last as
long as life"
