Swift & Co. Have
New Cooperative Plan

Chicago, ILL.,, July 2l.---Closer COM
munity of interests between employe
and employer and a real share in
management problems arc the OBJ
jects sought in new cooperative
plan, just adopted by Swift q Com
pany. Chicagos packing plant. A
miniature joint government is pro-
vided whereby problems which af-
feet the employees in the plant may
be taken up and disposed of SAT- is
factorily to both sides.
The plan provides for an assembly
composed of equal numbers of elect
ed representatives of the employees
and appointed representative of the
management, acting in detail
through committees of the assem- :
bly,. The assembly will discuss and
make recommendations on all ques-
tions referred to it or raised by it re-
lating to the Joint interests of the
company and it's employees and to
working conditions in particular,
such as wages. hours. safety. santa
ton. and like matters.
When any decision of the assem-
bly, of joint representatives is reach
ed by a two-thirds vote il will be
sent to the management for action
and will have binding effect upon
both employer and employees, unless
within fourteen days the board of
directors of the company or the EN- :
ployes' representatives request the
assembly to reopen the matter for
further consideration with view to
reaching an agreement.
when after such reconsideration
in the assembly it is deemed impos-
ment by joint conference on any one
issue" says a description of the plan,
'the management and the employees
are at liberty to take such action
outside of the plan as they may think
desirable But such action will not
of itself terminate the general use
of the plan which shall continue in
full force so long as it is desired by
employer and employe."
The description says further:
mo favor or prejudice may be
shown either by the company or by
the employees towards any emplove
in the matter of voting or in any
other matter by reason of the en-
ploye's race, religious creed. polit-
ical belief, membership or nonmem
bership in any labor union or other
organization"

PAPER MAKING IN ALASKA

The Federal Government has soio
a million cords of pulp wood from the
Tongass National Forest in Alaska to
the Alaskan American Paper COR
poration. About twenty percent OF
the wood is spruce. Sc per cent hem
lock and IA red cedar. The concern
has 32 years in which to complete its
cutting and is being encouraged 10
develop electric power near by.
It is estimated that the Alaskan
forests comprise hundred million
cords of wood suitable for making
paper. and that under scientific man
agement can produce two million
cords annually for an indefinite time
1t is further believed that 25o,O0o
horse power may be developed OF the
waters within this forest reservation.
II is the policy of the Government to
encourage this development. While
good authorities assert that there are
in this country inexhaustible supplies
of material other than wood from
which paper may be made it would
seem that the necessity for it's use is
far from being immediate.

The TYPE OE ROAD

T. H. Mcdonald, the chief of the
a tendency that has been manifested
in some states to restrict the expen-
diture of road money to specified
type 1t would seem unnecessary to
argue al length to show the folly OF
such restrictions, assuming the state
has q head competent to make the ex-
penditure.
Granting that the preparation OF
the roadbed has been properly done,
says MIR. Mcdonald. many kinds OF
road surface will give excellent ser
vice. The element OF time is important
There are SO many miles of roads to be
constructed and their cost will be so
enormous that the most careful ana
detailed study OF each road project
must be made to provide. at the low
est possible cost. roads which will
give satisfactory service and which
can be maintained without undue de-
probation under the traffic which is
to use them. Many times the ques-
tion has been asked the bureau:
What type Of road is best? The an
swer is always tho same: There is
not one best kind of type OF road sur
face"
4 recent statement issued by the
officials OF the bureau expresses this
thought in the following language:
1T is tho policy OF this bureau to
II I,n M
dividual Federal aid project, as there
are elements such as sub grade,
drainage and present and prospective
traffic, which vitally affect the deter
nination of the standards of con-
struction to be used.
That is. there must be a careful
analysis both of the engineering and
economic conditions for each partic
ular case to determine the kinds of
materials that can be used success
fully. and after these facts are deter
mined then the various types of con-
struction which can be used econom-
ically should be brought into competi-
tion to secure the best possible re-
suits There have been occasional at
tempts to write into State laws on the
governing conditions of bond issues
requirement as to type or kind of
roads to he constructed. To follow
such course would be most unfor-
tunate. The cost must always be con-
sidered in determining the type Of
road surfaces which are selected and
the allowable cost must be determin-
ed by the traffic which is to be
borne"

PIONEERING IN 1921

Six hundred Brooklynites are
trekking across the continent to the
Snake River valley in Idaho travel
ing In 'fiivvers" with trailers behind.
They are going in response to an
impulse like to that which urged
families Of n hundred years ago to
set forth in their prairie schooners.
They are going to establish homes
and schools.
Unlike those early land seekers
they are going to learn how to live
on the soil That part of their edu-
cation has been neglected and in that
respect they are at a much greater
disadvantage, for encountering the
difficulties ahead. What with camp
ing places all along the route and
garages and gasolene at every turn
their journeying will be picnic
compared with that of the pioneers
who faced ed-skins, blizzards and
deserts. Moreover if they discover
that farming isn't continuation of
the picnic of trekking why, there
lies the easy road back. And they
set forth with high hopes.
For $4,000 the Government sells
them forty acres of land, the first
payment on which is but a $1,000. and
of course the third crop is to pay for
it. 1t was ever thus. and the hope so
inspired will tighten the way, so what
matter if four crops are required, or
even more"
Foresight is not lacking in this
caravan. There had been much dis
cussion respecting all the liberties
they propose to enjoy. One was free
dom in dress but they shrewdly got
the ladies to arrive at decision
about the costume which would be
permitted, before setting out There
were two factions; one wanted short
skirts and the other trousers. They
Compromised" on trousers with
short skirts over them. Such fore
sight augurs favorably and we wish
them joy of their venture.

The bill to place all Federal agen-
cies having to do with the affairs or
the veterans under bureau respon-
sible TO the President is well on the
way to become law. Its sponsors
expect that it will expedite relief for
the veterans in many ways. The bu-
reau is to have Offices in all parts of
the country so to keep in touch with
the needs. The bill provides for pay
ment of government insurance to
beneficiaries of veterans who died
from wounds or disease incurred IN
