Industrial Democracy

The Convention adopted, in con-
vention, a declaration described by
the committee on executive coun-
ellis report as pointing the way to
true industrial democracy. The
declaration, contained in the report
of the executive council, follows:
1--WE urge the setting up of con-
ference boards of organized workers
and employers, thoroughly volun-
tary in character and in thorough
accord with our trade union organ
izatSons, as a means of promoting
the democracy of industry through
development of cooperative effort.
We point out to employers the fact
that industry, which is the life blood
of our civilization, cannot be made
the plaything and the pawn of a
few who by chance today hold con-
troll. Industry is the thing by
which all must live and it must
be given the opportunity to func-
tion at it's best"
This, we believe, points the way
to proper Decentralization of indus
try" said the committee report.
Democracy in industry can only be
founded on right relations between
employees and managers" The dec
laration was adopted by unanimous
vote.

other stockholders, although they

ton of the affairs of that estab-
lishment, especially as regards the
conditions and terms of their EN-
ployment. The intrinsic weakness
of such a plan is found in the fact
that it restricts representation OF
shop committees or whatever form
or method of expression is adapted
to the employees of that particular
shop or establishment, thus denying
to them the benefit that will ensue
from communication with Others
who are similarly situated and
whose interests are common. The
trades union movement is the best
known agency for the expression OF
the desires and conservatism of the
interests of the workers. Common
employment breeds common habits
of thought as well as of effort
and common interests must fine
common outlet, and this is not to
be secured under conditions which
set up between groups of workers
the artificial barrier of what pay
roll their names appear upon. Col
lective bargaining and all the va
rious activities for which trade
union properly is formed, and to
the legitimate carrying out of which
it deVotes its existence, may only
be given their full and beneficial
application when the dealings be-
tween employer and employed rest
on the full recognition of the trades
union as the one proper and eff
ciSht instrument for the expression
of the needs of it's members. De-
mocracy in industry can only be
successfully founded on right re-
lations between the workers and the
managers, and these relations will
not exist until the trades union is
recognized as the basic unit and not
the group as limited by the single
shop OF establishment"

partment of Labor.
The convention adopted by unani-
nous vote a resolution to condemn
the proposed dissolution of the De-
partment of Labor by the creation
of a new Department of Public
Welfare, or by any other method.
The executive council was in
structed by the convention to con-
tinue using every effort to main
tain the Department of Labor in
tact. The organic act creating the
department was read and the work
done by the department in the
service of the working people was
reviewed. International officers
were asked to assist in the cam
paign to prevent destruction of the
only cabinet office Devoted to the
working people.
The convention endorsed the eff
forts of the executive council to
develop closer rlations with organ
I'D farmers and directed that the
policy hitherto maintained in rela-
ton to that question be continued.
In relation to the non-partisan
political campaign the convention
endorsed the report of the execu-
tive committee, which commended
the efforts of the executive coun-
Gil in the campaign. There were no
negative votes.
The committee report further re-
commended that steps be taken at
once to organize the -partizan
campaign work on a permanent
basis, specifically declaring that
there is need for regular dis
semination of information relating
to legislative events in Washington
This, as part of the report, was ap-
proved.
President Gompers took the OPP
portunity in this connection to say
that, inasmuch as there had been
criticism for not presenting the dem
ocratic convention a plank on gov
ernment ownership and democratic
ownership Of railroads, he felt it
necessary to state why that course
had been taken. 1t was necessary,
he said, to present identical de-
mands to both political conventions
and when the Republican conven-
ton was held the declaration on
railroads had not been adopted.
Therefore it was presented to nei-
their convention.

Barih Heard at Town Hall

Two pianists were heard in recital
yesterday afternoon at the neighbor-

Barth, who played at Town Hall. dis
closed agreeable qualities of touch,
technique and Interpretation in pro-
gram which included numbers by Bee
thoven, Brahms, MacDowell. Chopin,

displayed customary skill and bril-
lance at Aeolian Hall in a program
Of music by Bach, Beethoven and

ern and realistic touch.
The evening occupant Of Aeolian
Hall was Edwin Grasse, who gave a
violin and organ recital, and also ex-
hibited himself as a composer. Mr.
Grasse is we'll known here from former
appearances. His versatility is evenly
distributed between the two instru-

J. K. Stewart Canadian.
Says Broiher-in-Law
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-Charles Butler
brother-in law of the late John K
Stewart, the speedometer millionaire
to-day threw some inside light upon
the Stewart mystery" Butler saws
religious differences caused Stewart tc
leave the parental roof when he was a
boy, to change his name, and thus for
ever sever parental ties.
My understanding has always been
that Stewart was a Canadian" said
Butler. 81 never heard the name Ter
ence O'Brien and l doubt that it was
his real name. 1t was common talk in
the family that his name was not
Stewart and that subject was the cause
of dispute between his wife, who was
my sister, and me.
81 understand his parents were in
tensely religious, while Stewart was an
agnostic and his ideas on this subject
prevailed in his family after he was
married. He never would permit his
wife or children to attend church.

Mme. Homer Wins Applause
Recital Program Shows Singer
at Her Best

The recital OF Nine. Louise Homer
drew many of her admirers to Car
negic Hall yesterday afternoon, who
gave every evidence of finding in her
singing the qualities they had come to
hear and enjoy. Nine. Homer is in the
fullness of her powers, a gracious
presence, perfectly poised and with
vocal opulence at her command. She
was eXtravagant in her outpouring Of
tone yesterday, achieving clmaxes
that often had touch of the heroic.
Fine dignity characterized her sing
ing of the Bach numbers, "Begone Ye
Gloomy Shadows" and "If Thou Thy
Heart Wilt Give Me-" and there was
dramatic power and breadth in an aria
from Handel's "Rinaldo,' Schubert's
"Dem Unendlichen" and Sidney Ho-
mer's "Prospice." Loewc's "Madchen
sind vie der Wind" "Cuddle Doom" and
other well-liked songs, by Sidney
Homer, and a group of five folksoncs
were sung with tenderness and light
ness of spirit that called forth hearty
expressions of appreciation.
At the close of the program, the
singer graciously called upon Eleanor
Scheib, who had played excellent ac-
compartments, to share in the ap-
plause.
