 IRON PIPE PLANT ON GOLDEN RULE BASIS

The result of the reorganization of the American Cast Iron Pipe company on the CO., operative plan is that all departments and en- ployes will be in touch with one another for discussing and deciding questions affecting the company.
 It Is announced that the organization of a board of operatives selected by the employees aed board of management chosen by the plant owners was conceived and perfected with the golden rule in view. It is an appre- citation of the fact that the golden rule and sound business are not in conflict, but on the contrary, are in thorough harmony.
