of stock in an industry is capital
transaction. Credit is not capital and
the great error of the postwar period
was an attempt to make credit do the
work of capital. Credit has a de
finite beginning and ending It should
exist no longer than its underlying
value.
Credit must be Iquidated at speci-
fc periods, and also frequently in or
der that it be kept fluent and sufficient
for the needs of commerce. Credit is
the ally of modern commerce This
should be patent to the reader who
should understand how much safer he
vii lbe if he appreciates fully the
real nature of credit and its proper
uses. Of all commercial transactions
at least ninety-two per cent are cred
it transactions. One of the most i'm
pressive things in modern life is the
extent to which credit has become in
terwoven in world commerce enabling
us to expand our industries and our
agriculture to point that was never
dreamed of by our progenitors.
Credit Means.
Credit has given US facilities for
creating q huge national wealth, but
we must remember that credit is but
a facility; it is not itself wealth, and
must never be reckoned as a part of
the nations wealth. 1t must be con-
sidered a servant of the nation and
for producing capital.
We have endeavored to present the
subject in a way that would be lucid
to the lay reader. Though credit is
technical because of its nature, yet
after all, when recognizing how deep
ly credit penetrates into the welfare
of every person, no matter whether
he be employer or employee, capital
list or laborer, we consider it worthy
project to arouse interest in knowing
just what credit is and what big
part it has played in modern COM
merce.

"Let us be citizens first, and not

and manufacturers"

duction-a division of that which ha:
been produced. There arise differ,
enees Of opinion between employer
and employee; contention as to wages
hours of employment, grievance COM
mittees, conditions of labor, bargain
ing, and many others. Now instead
|of precipitating strikes or lockouts
why not sit down like sensible bust
ness men around council table and
in spirit of understanding and good
will settle the wage and other differ
ences on as nearly as equitable basis
as the industry will permit. This is
the Cancellation way-this is the COM
mon sense way.
1t is conceded that independent ar
bitration commissions, shop commit
tees, adjustment boards and joint
bodies representative of the workers
and management have been valuable
aids in making for peace and indus
try. This may be said also of scores
of plans proposed for bringing closer
together the manager and workers.
But after all is said and done, the
best method so far devised is that of
Cancellation. Cancellation in the ad-
justment of industrial disputes lays
down no hard and fast rules for the
guidance of the parties to the dis
pute. 1t meets the situation face to
face, and by advice and suggestions
garnered by the conciliators from pre-
vious experiences and situations he
proves his competency by being able
dellcately to meet and handle each
delicate situation as it arises during
the process of negotiations. The nice
thing about settlement of industrial
disputes through Cancellation is that
at the conclusion neither party feels
aggrieved. They have been brought
together and have been advised by an
third party who has no pow
er other than one suggestive and adj
visory. They have, taken up one by
one the matters in dispute; they have
come to an understanding and reached
an agreement, and every one connect
ed with this council table procedure
feels that he has had part in the
agreement because it is based on un-
derstanding and good faith.
Some Statistics.
To prove conclusively that concilia-
ton is effective, the United States De-
partment of Labor has since March
1913, through its division of concilia-
ton, utilized the good Offices of it's
commissioners of Cancellation in near
ly 1890 industrial disputes involving
directly and indirectly over 100000
workers. During that period they
have been unable to adjust but a few
more than 400 of the cases presented.
AS an outstanding example of what
can be and has been accomplished
along the lines of Cancellation in in
lustry by an impartial government
agency, the copper industry may be
cited:
In 1917 the Presidents Mediation
Commission and the Department of
Labor set up in Arizona machinery to
adjust any dispute that might arise.
A commissioner of Cancellation Of the
of Labor was selected and
named administrator" with an agree
ment between the owner and work
ers to accept his decision as final in

RESOLVE TO
KEEP STRAIGHT

An extraordinary event has just
taken place throughout the United
States, unheralded in the press at
large although of unusual significance
to our national welfare. The COVER
nors of more than thirty states public
ly took a new oath of obligation to
God and country and to obey law
that is not upon our statute books;
A law of personal daily living which
includes the obligation to help other
people at all times.
In the presence of state officials in
many cases, and of throngs of boys
and their parents, standing upon the
steps of the state capitol, each COVER
nor with uplifted hand making the
Boy Scout sign, solemnly promised,
"On my honor I will do my best to do
my duty to God and my country, and
to obey the scout laf; to help other
people at all times; to keep myself
physically strong, mentally awake
and morally straight" The oath was
administered in some instances by a
Judge of the supreme court of the
state, in others by the ranking boy
scout official of the community. The
ceremony was part Of the weeks
celebration of the twelfth anniversary
of the movement in this country, and

a higher ideal Of personal conduct in
preparation for the duties of citizen
ship ahead.
The State Executives took this
matter seriously. They were con-
fronted by coming citizens who look
upon their Governor as the highest
citizen of the state. There was color
of uniforms, the call of drums and
bugles, the waving of flags and the
eager efforts of many scouts to make
a good showing. 1t was an Occasion.
In Pasadena, California when Cover
nor William D. Stephens took the boy
scout oath before an enormous audi
ence in Library Park, he presented
badges to twenty-five scouts who are
the charter members of the Boy Scout
Auxiliary Fire Department Of that
city, and at the same time presented
flag as a trophy to the Grant School
children for pre-eminence in the SUBJ
ject of fire prevention.
Governor John w. Parker of
Louisiana, escorted by a great COM
pany of scouts and citizens, hiked to
the site of the new State University
and Agricultural College and after
a stirring ceremony made a brief
talk and took the oath. The Governor
made the scouts special guardians of
the college grounds, asking them to
protect the plant and animal ifes
especially the birds, and is reported as
saying "You have helped me in every
thing | have asked and l am confident
that | can rely on you here"
In addition to the governors and
lsome state officials, many mayors and
in some cases the entire municipal
government body took the same oath
before local scouts and officials. Com
ling in the midst Of a notion-wide con.
Icern over the increase of lawlessness
land crime, this public action by sc
many high officials was greeted with
enthusiasm as bound to have a whole
lsome effect upon boyhood, and helr
offset the pull of the mess of trashy
boy literature and lurid motion pic.
lures that have begun to undermine
the influences of the school, the home
and the church.

dispute, and further that strikes or
lockouts were prohibited during the
life of the agreement
After years we find that since the
creation of this plan only 2 or 8
strikes of minor Importance have been
reported, and these were settled in a
very few hours. An unusual feature
of this solution developed after the
Armistice, or in February 1919, when
in the face OF tremendous surplus
of copper on hand and restricted
market, the employees without ques-
ton accepted a decision which meant
reduction of 81 per day in wages
and prevented a general suspension
of the industry.
Another Example.
Another case in point is the oil in
dustry of California, which has been
since late in 1917 brilliant example
of what Cancellation can accomplish
for permanent industrial peace, where
nearly 10000 contented workers and
many satisfied operators have had no
troubles that were not speedily and
fairly settled by commissioner of

ests as the final referee in all griev-
ances submitted. This official desig-
mated Federal Oil Adjuster" has
handed down over 800 decisions
some affecting few and some many
workers and companies, every deci-
sion being cheerfully accepted. Pro-
duction was thus augmented-wages
for various gradations were specified, |
and the classification of labor defined, |
conditions were vastly i'm
proved, and all interests benefited in
In the great Packing House indus i
try of Chicago and at many outlying
places throughout the United States,
since 1917 no strikes of any grave
concern have been recorded. 1t is |
true few incipient or sporadic
strikes of little consequence have oc-
Cured which were of short dura-
ton. Through the agency created by
the Department of Labor, Judge AL
schuler was selected as the admins
traitor, and he not only has stabilized
The industry, but has maintained
peace and continuous operation and
made it plain to all that there is a
better way of settling disputes and I
grievances than striking the plant or
plants involved.
To accomplish this great achieve
ment has entailed upon Judge Alschul-
er tremendous amount of work on
minor grievances, extensive hearings
On general issues-but the net re-
suit, steady employment, stabilized
production and general satisfaction is
worth while.
The solution of the industrial prob
EN- lies not in carrying on the age

ions with irreconcilable interests, but
in recognizing the fact that capital
and labor have common interests,

CREDIT, ALLY
OF MODERN
COMMERCE
Head of Credit Mems Organization
Tells of Dangers When 1t is
Misdirected
Holds That All Business Men Should
Familiarize Themselves With the
General Princials
BY J. H. TREGOE
Treasurer National Association of
Credit Menu

Editors Note. H. Tregoe is the
treasurer of the National Association
of Credit Men. This fact alone indi-
Icates his knowledge of the principles
upon which all our modern industrial
and commercial life is based. He has
wasted few words in his article. Men
dealing in finance, production, or any
form OF activity wherein credit plays
La part, will find his ideas of value,
while to the layman it should appeal
on the basis of being an authoritative
statement tending toward general
knowledge.
The industrial system of the world
would go crashing into chaos tomor-
row if credit were destroyed.
The actual cash transactions of the
world today are small in comparison
with its credit transactions. Wipe.
out credit and its issues and our mon
ey-except gold and silver-would be
worthless, our manufacturing plants
would be forced to close, our stores to
shut up, our railroads cease to run,
industry, business, manufacturing,
production, would be halted, there
would be no Jobs" no incomes, and
in place of system would reign an
archy.
Credit is not tangible asset. It is
a spiritual thing more delicate than a
breath and yet strong enough to gov
ern worlds work. It was endan-
gered in the Worlds War and the
mere appearance of danger has been
enough to upset the economic balance
of our country today.
The public at large cannot realize
the immensely of the credit system
and how indispensable it has become
to commerce. Running back in his
tory to the days when living was SIM
pie and human needs few, the ex-
change of commodity for commodity,
which we term barter, was sufficient
to crafty the wants of men. Under
such method there was no commerce
as we think of it and social advance
ment was slow. With the increase
of human wants and as society became
more complex, the exchange of COM
modify for commodity was insufficient
to satisfy mems needs, and needs are
usually satisfied. In substitution for
barter, therefore, forms CT money be-
gan to be introduced as mediums of
exchange. In the period Ct handcraft
when articles of dress and for the
satisfaction of peoples wants were
produced in homes, money as con-
trasted with credit was sufficient for
the conduct of business. It was not
sufficient, however, to stimulate COM
merce and bring it into period of in
tensiveness. With the industrial rev.
olution, when power was substituted
for handcraft in the production of
commodities and steam became the
motive power for the transportation
of these commodities from the point
of production to the point of distri-
button, money was insufficient as a
medium of exchange and there came
into its place the credit system to
supply the needs of the period. This
system characterized by great fexibil-
ity developed rapidly to serve human
needs.
