The Best in Labor Systems.

THE Pennsylvania Railroad has reason to be
i proud OF its employe representation system
The method has proved almost ideal for adjusting
differences between the great transportation COM
pany and its thousands of workers 1t has brought
about peaceful arbitration in place of wastefu
strikes The system can be adopted to excellent
advantage on other railroads throughout the United
States, When it is applied universally such a tie-up
OF national industry caused by the recent
shopmen's strike will be impossible
The fundamentals of the PENNSYLVANIA plan are
follows:
l. Every worker has voice in the management
OF matters in which he is directly concerned
through employe representation. He elects his
own man-regardless of union affiliations
q Every controversial matter between manage
ment and men is settled at once by mutual con-
ference. Old sores are not allowed to tester.
3. A joint tribunal for each class of employees
usually representative of employees and manage
ment, IS the final arbiter in the disposition of in
dustral disputes.
The system has the following accomplishments
to its credit:
l. Wage agreements made affecting approxi-
mately 10000 employees without resort to the
United States Railroad Labor Board or other
tribunal outside the Pennsylvania system
p A relationship fostered between management
ana employees that, in spite of the calling of ma
tional skopmens strike, made it possible for the
pennsylvania system to operate both passenger and
freight service without interruption or DELAY; to
move more freight and perform a larger measure
OF public service than before the strike began.
g. An agreement made with engine and train
service employees to prevent the possibility of an
interruption of the service that might arise on ac-
count OF the miners and shopmen's strikes
a. A reviving spirit of mutual understanding
and cordial cooperation between management and
employees.
The Pennsylvania has pointed the way bv which
peace can be assured in the transportation indus
try-and this peace is absolutely essential to the
welfare of the country. In fact the industrial
fabric of this nation exist without uninter
rupted, dependable rail service 1t remains for
other roads to take the lesson to heart
Under the Pennsylvania system labor s NOT
considered as commodity. 1t is considered as .
body OF intelligent human beings who will deal
fairly 1t they can expect fair dealing in return
The status of the unions is not interfered with
but machinery is created by which strictly local
conditions can be handled in a satisfactory m,n,e,
without outside interference. The PennsvIvan;a
idea is to get at the of the trouble before II
has much chance to develop into an angry. I'M

A Good Candidate.

TINE national convention Of the American Lee
il gion can make no mistake in rewardng Capt
Watson B. Miller. commander Of the District of
Columbia department, with the office of national
vice commander. The local delegates have gone to
New Orleans determined to this position for
their candidate. and they have excellent case to
place before the world war veterans of every State
We question whether Legion officials of other de-
partments realize fully the weight of the burden
placed upon posts in the National Capital. These
have unusually large memberships. to whose wants
their officials must minister, but in addition they
care for hundreds Of veterans from other
States who come to Washington seeking justice
They must stand watchdogs of all government
veteran activities. They must watch the national
headquarters of the Veterans Bureau. They must
watch the White House They must watch Con-
gress.
To all these tasks Capt Miller, as department
commander, has devoted himself without hesitation
He invariably has placed legion affairs above his
personal interests. He has been inspired by high
idealism, tender sympathy and an unAinching
sense of duty. He has taken up problems where
other department commanders have dropped them.
He never has denied himself to a veteran, whether
legion member or not who sought charity or justice
But throughout all the controversies which have
waged in Washington for the past year Mr.. Miler's
conduct has been and dignifed Rasher men
have not hesitated to make sensational charges
The department commander has secured facts
weighed them carefully and then spoken deliberately
and conservatively. There be no question but
that he has represented in splendid fashion the best
elements in the local posts, and knowledge of his
work has travelled wherever the American flag flies
and wherever American veterans gather
Il become so disturbed the sufferings of
some of these disabled veterans" said Mr.. Miller
not long ago. that am not able to sleep nights"
The remark illustrates the sincerity of the man.
1t shows man above petty considerations of per-
sonal convenience. 1t shows splendid type of
American soldier and gentleman.
Mr.. Miller's work has been far more than local in
its scope. 1t has been national and should have
national reward. The $50 or more District dele
gates at New Orleans should not hesitate to impress
this fact upon the convention They will have
reason to be deeply disappointed if they return to
Washington without securing the election of their
candidate. And the national organization will have
lost the services of an able, conscientious, self
sacrificing official

Making for Better Business

THE national confidence of the Better Busi-
ness Bureaus of the United States and
- Canada now in session in Washington, is
an event of small importance. The presence
of the delegates should give a decided impetus to
the local organization which already has accom-
plished excellent work in the National Capital.
The Better Business Bureau seeks to co-ordi-
nate business methods and business ethics. The
past ten years have witnessed almost revolution
in this respect throughout the United States. The
iuoysment for greater honesty in commercial deal
ngs has gained such headway that it now domi-
all other considerations.
= : The bureau in Washington has become
Invaluable aid to honorable dealing. Its recent
tvities against blue sky operators, who had found
paradise in the District of Columbia is only
instance of the aid it has rendered only to the
business men but to the general public. The mer-
chant today is bound by professional code
rigid that which binds the physician the
clergyman. The Better Business Bureau seeks to
Keep this code formulated to suit the progressive
present. 1t seeks only to protect the business
man himself but to restrain his conduct in fashion
that will protect the public. 1t makes definite
progress in this direction every day.
The presence of the delegates here will enable
Washington men to learn at first hand of the most
progressive methods followed in other large Amer
ican cities. In the revolutionary laboratory of
American business there always is something to
learn and the most trifing experiment we'll
be overlooked But the greatest good will come
to the visitors themselves. They make no mis-
take by observing carefully business methods in
Washington-where the majority of the merchants
follow policy of panstaking honesty with their
customers and, at the same tme are constantly
on the alert to find OF giving the public bet
ter goods at cheaper prices. They know that this
is the only possible policy that can bring good
results in city where the average intellectual and
cultural standing is higher than anywhere else in
the world Washington dealers have no ignorant
constituency upon whom to prey with dishonest
advertising when they make mistakes. They are
dealing continually with quick-witted observant
wennformed men and women. Tricky salesman
ship IS the surest way to lose sale Their every
move must be in line with the highest ideals
preached by the Better Business Bureaus. They
offer the delegates well-equippd laboratory for
experimentation with both methods and ethics.

The Community Idea.

THE people OF the Park View neighborhood
were pioneers in development of the commun-
ny idea in the District Of Columbia A number of
years ago they established the foundations upon
which has been based much of the excellent work
OF local citizens associations. In the early efforts
OF the Park View residents there was one oustand-
ing figure man whose tireless devotion to the in
terests OF community made him almost national
hgure. He studied the interests of his neighbors
He brought discordant elements together He or
ganzed social and business activities He led every
effort to secure CIVIC Improvements for the people
We refer to Edward J. Ward formerly an official
OF the Bureau of Education here who is a visitor in
Washington this week
But Mr.. Wards efforts were not entirely disinter
eSted He used the Park View community as a
laboratory for almost revolutionary experiments in
sociology and psychology. The District of Colum-
bla reaps the good fruits of his studies it is true
But he himself is making them merely the founda-
tion or still bolder research. To further his work
he has gone to the most northery settlement under
the Stars and Stripes-Wainwrght, Alaska Here
buried IN the long darkness and eternal winter of
the Arctic he is continuing the work inaugurated at
Park, View. Schoolmaster, postmaster doctor
preacher, lawyer. undertaker-thesc are Just few OF
the Jobs he undertakes to fill for the benefit of the
unfortunate people so far removed from the tenn
pcrng influences OF civilization
few years ago the work of DR.. Grenfell in
labrador stirred worldwide interest Recruits from
great universities hocked to his side Money in
abundance was subscribed to help his efforts But
he never dared much. it seems, as this Washing
ton man who Is using to advantage the lessons in
community organization he learned at Park View
Ward IS an idealist of the highest calbre He has
carried the message Of brotherly love and co-opera-
ton into the white shadow of the North Pole But
he IS missionary who does not preach in words
to any great extent, from the pulpit He breaches
material things-in sewing clubs and dramatic
clubs IN community stores and community dances
Il The sermon in such language is apt to be more
impressive
II there Is such thing American imperialism
Mr. Ward is the advance agent of it. He goes
about the representative Of the real brothcrly CO.
operative, charitable America. He goes about max
ing Americans of the finest type 1t we'll may be
the source of pride to Park View people that they
furnished this with his first opportunity; that
