try.'
This report was prepared by Ger
hard NJ. Dahl, vice president Of the
Chase National Bank; E. K. Hall, vice
president Of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company; Louis B.
Schran, president Of the India Wharf
Brewing Company; Walter G. ,Treagle,
president Of the Standard Oil Company
Of New Jersey. and Owen D. Young,
vice president and general counsel Of
the General Electric Company.
The report declares that the time is
opportune for employers to take for
ward step in the matter Of Industrial
relations, but believes that "it would
be most unfortunate if they used their
present advantage only to abuse it
merely to penalize labor Or to fortify
themselves for another test of strength.
Employers should utilize their present
position to lay the foundations Of per.
manent industrial stability"
The matter Of the "open shop the
report continues, should be carefully
considered. "It has tended in some
quarters to arouse suspicion and dis
trust, especially as to the status of
labor unions, and has thereby delayed
the establishment. Of peaceful industrial
conditions. Your committee believes
that the establishment Of an open shop
should not in any way affect the en-
ployes' right to join or not to join 4
labor union or any other organization
seeking by lawful means to promote
the interest Of industrial workers."
The committee deplores the: dispo.
sition "on the part Of some employers
who are using the term 'open shop to
work toward condition Of the closed
shop against union men,
Attention is called to the growing
evil Of unemployment and the burden
it imposes upon workers. Some remedy
for it must be found, and it can only
be found by full cooperation with Ia

of the most perplexing, difficult and
at the same time far.reaching and i'm
portant problems confronting the ma

can its solution be reached through a
discussion Of antiquities, trite and i'm.
practical economic theories, or through
the general application Of welfare limo.
walton or other devices. Now is thu
time for employers to make it clea:
that the interests Of management and
labor can best be realized through

The committee recommends that un.
employment be studied with view to
finding means for its prevention and
an investigation made looking to the
adoption Of desired changes in the plan
for the adjustment Of industrial dis
putes which was recommended by Pres.
ident Wilson'S second industrial con.

the act of July 10th, 1862, which
reads as follows:

the act Of July 10th, 1862, which
reads as follows:
"That the hours of labor and the
rates of pay of the employees in the
navy yards shall conform, as nearly
as is consistent qpith the public inter
est, with those of private establish:
ments in the immediate vicinity of
the respective yards, to be determine
ed by the commandments of the navy
wards, subject to the approval and
revision Of the secretary OF the
aary."
1t is very obvious to anyone that
is interested in the welfare of the
EMPLOYEES that this law c0mpells the
wages of the skilled machinists and
other crafts to be determined and adj
iusted to conform to- those Of private
employers who have in many cases
taken advantage of times of indus
trial depression to lower the wages
and working conditions far beyond a
point consistent with the American
s, standard Of living. 1t is generally
conceded that the government should
and ought to be a model employer of
labor, rather than to be, forced to pay
low wages in conformity with an an
tiquated law that should have long
since been replaced by legislation
more consistent with a standard Of
living, that would enable the en-
povees to live in health and decency:
The present administration appears
70 be committed to the Anticipated
theory. thai the way to restore
'roprictV is to reduce the wages OF
the workers land incidentally their
standards of living.) This will ir
turn result in less demand for goods
N the-retail market, which will force
the merchants TO lower the prices or
their commodities. Thus eventually
we will have normally" We hope
however. that some day the govern
ment will adopt more sane way OF
determining wages rates. This much
desired result can be accomplished
in the early passage of the above
mentioned legislation now pendine
action by the committee on naval at
fairs of the senate and the committee
on labor of the house.
If private employers pay wages
that do not meet the cost OF living
the government should not feel OBJ
liged to pursue the same course.
When private employers reduce their
wages to a sub-normal state they are
compelling their workers to draw on
their savings (if any, extend their
credit, expend their reserve strength
and resources all Of which should be
contrary to the public policy. Let US
not reduce the workers to a mere
subsistence level but rather to level
consistent with the American idea Of
sufficient wages to support family
in health and the ordinary comforts
Of life.
