mont Of Employees.

Boston, Aug. 2l.-Survey committees
of the Unitarian IAymcn's League, IN
vestigating business concerns IN ~
States and in Canada in which industrial
harmony prevails and conflict Is I'M
known. have completed their reports of
$50 SURVEYS. covering both the very
largest industries and also many which
though small are representative, and the
zone outstanding fact which exists IN
every single case was announced by
the League rs follows:
"Thc managers have acted upon their
consciousness that all who work in their
organizations are fellow human beings
hrothers-and the spirit Of the managers
is also the spirit Of the great majority
of the workers.
"Thc Unitarian Laymen's League is
not equipped to make complete can
yass of all the concerns in the United
States and Canada in which industrial
harmony prevails, but certainly the fact
that, in every case reported, success in
business and industrial harmony have
gone hand in hand with action based
upon the principles Of mans brother
hood with man, is n straw which prob
ably indicates the direction of the wind.
These SURVEYS were auth orized by the
annual convention of the Laymcn''
League, held in September 1921, a,

l66 of the Leagues 242 chapters sen
