LIMITED OUTPUT
AND CLOSED SHOP
VICIOUS SAYS ELIOT

Boston, April 5.-InsiStence by la
hor unions on policies of limited out
put and the closed shop will prove alb
solutely fatal not only to individual
success but to national character"
President (Emeritus) Charles w Eliot
of Harvard University said at a dinner
of the Economic Club tonight. Limita-
ton of output. he said, was the gray
est possible error which would have
a degrading effect on all who worked
under it: the closed shop as the only
instrument in the hands of union labor
to gain its rights, he said, was pure
delusion.'
By a process OF education, already
under way, the educator thought there
was means of dissipating the idea
of an inevitable war between employ
ers and employees. The ~process was
an unlocked for result of the war he
said, one of it's greatest results which
had advanced with astonishing rapid
ty in the direction of educating both
sides of the industrial question TO turn
away from warfare to methods of
peace and good WILL.
s.,
to have discussed the subject of n
comprehensive and considerable re-
duction of wages as the only road to
normal production and reasonabl cost
of living" He dwelt with it, however,
long enough only to agree with Sam
a. Lewiston of New York, vice pres
ident and treasurer of tho Miami Cop
per Co, a previous speaker, that it was
necessary to proceed slowly with a re-
duction of wages. Reduction was in
evitable, he said, however, to get sat
isfactory conditions in industry. Mr..
Lewiston had coupled with caution
against tactless cuts the admonition
that employers should approach the
subject in constructive spirit, not as
class conscious figures" adding thar
nationwide campaigns such as the
open shop can only aggravate the sit
uation and make labor resistant"
Magnus w. Alexander. managing
director of the industrial conference
board, had presented charts and fig
ures to show living costs and wage
scales in average proportions. While
recognizing the soundness. of the sta
TASTES used, DR.. Eliot said he felt
there was danger N reference to aver
ages in the sense of uniformity, add
ing that this element in it's o. wage
principles was the chief enemy of Ia
Dor.
1.-The desire for uniformity is the
fundamental error of our times" he
declared, whether in government, ed
ucation or industry. 1t will be hard to
get labor to abandon the search for
uniformity of wages, but that has
been its greatest sin except that to
limit output
