The Nevada County picayune., 1922-04-20

l
 reading this, I would like to make I comment or two on it. In our place, these workers recognize that the Col den Rule is a universal law, that it
 does not mean only between the A. l Nash Company and them, but that every customer on our books is party | to our dealings and must be dealt with as we would want to be dealt with, l When that question came up in our
 mass meeting where the workers fixed the prices of our merchandise. re member one of the workers said, Some of us here don't understand that the Golden Rule says anything about the selling price"
 said, AS near as I can interpret 1 it, 1t would say that every garment | we deliver to a customer must be of quality that we would be willing to accept and at price we would be willing to pay if we were in the GUS l toner's place" On that basis, through the orgy of profiteering and high prices of 1919, and early 1920, the highest price made-to order suit that we ever sold was s29.
 Now, do you begin to see, friends, why our business went right on and grew and the others stopped? One man said to me, Tt is clear why your work CTS produce. I can see that, but where does this business come from? I can't get orders"
 I said, Tt comes from the same place where the workers production comes from While we were winning the confidence of the public, that we would do honest work for them, so that when the public went on buying strike, we were no more affected by 1t than the workers were by the union strikes.
 want to say when the Golden Rule is working there will be no Up and down lines like this, (indicating the ehart) there will be only one horizon | tai line. I am not saying that the Golden Rule solves industrial prob lens, but I am saying it eliminates them. It eliminates hatred and strife and contention, and love and brother hood and operation come in their 1 places.
 have never yet had worker come into my office 10 claim something for himself. but many time I have had them come in to tell me that some body else needed help, one way or an other, sometimes asking for more wages for them But they never come and say. "I want more for myself" " It has never happened.
 This thing came to me at one of these meetings At our semi-annual meetings we set the prices of our goods When we met on the sixth of January for this meeting. our price was set for this spring. l will not tell you what it was-we have more
 
 orders now than we can take care of, and if our business today and tomor- row equals what it has been running, we will have more orders this January than we had in January of 1919 and 1920 combined.
 So after other resolutions had been 1ntrndnnnH fbn rpSDlnti inn l am going to read to you.
