ORDER PICTURED

and Loggers, declared today in
speaking to members of the cham
Der Of commerce that there is a
new relationship between employ
ers and employees.
That instead of the old relation

now come into business in the
lumber industry as well as others,
that Of associationship, in which
the owners of industries confer
with their employees.
mo one, barring a few radicals,
think Of distributing authority, I"
declared Mr.. Coleman. "The man
ager has his peculiar position, and
the working man is not asking to
share in the responsibilities Of sale
or market. The producing end is
the only one in which the worker
is interested"
Mr.. Coleman referred to several
large industries in which working
men SIT on the board OF directors,
and these included the Pennsyl-
vania railroad system, the Phila-
delphia Rapid Transit company,
Proctor & Gamble soap manufac-
turers and the International Har-
yester company.
AS to the fear that working men
would take over an industry. Mr..
Coleman. said he knew OF no such
case. but he did know Of many In
especially in lumber,
wherein employers and employees
met to discuss matters OF wages.
Asked as to whether there was
among working men to
cooperating with the owners OF
mills, Mr.. Coleman said that the
socialist agitator was opposed to
the plan OF all working together.
He referred to the !. w. w. in
which its members do not believe
in cooperation between owner and
working men. The l. w. W., he
said, still believe in the old idea
Of master and slave in Industries.
and that the /. w. w. intended toI
be the masters.
Taken az whole Mr.. Coleman
was convinced that cooperation
between mill owners and mini
workers was bringing results.
