NEW YORK, July 28.-ConstAnt
pressure was applied to most actIve
issues on the curb exchange TO-DAY.
Selling was again acutely felt
among the petroleum shares, whese-
as losses in the industrial group
were confined to small amouhs
of issues. Stocks, which showed
the fargst declines yesterday, were
forced down to still lower Levels,
due to the closing out of unprotsSt-

Southern Penn Oil was the laEg-
est sufferer in the Standard Oil
section, dropping four points to 101,
at which price the stock was sV5

in the early part of this year. In

downward movement, but losses
were limited from a fraction to- a

WORKERS. VOICE
MANAGING
FAVORED
Economic League Advocates
Giving Employees Advisory
Place in Factory Control.

AS the result Of a study of over
: 900 plans for improved relations
between employers and employees,
a special committee of the National
Economic League on "Readjustment
n Industrial Relations" recon-
nends that employees should he
riven participation in management
Under certain limitations, and that
hey should be given the OPP
oortunity to acquire some financial
interest in the establishments in
which they work.
The committee concludes that the
ERIN Industrial democracy is
Misleading and should be abandoned;
hat employees, as a whole, are not
Interested in assuming the re-
ipinsibilities Of management; and
hat. while they should be given the
opportunity to have a voice in
management on matters affecting
heir immediate welfare, it would
be inadvisable to have them par
icipate in management on ques-
ions of policy, such as selling, pur-
ahasing, finance, and similar mat
ers.
An important point made by the
,eport is that employees and execu-
yes should be given more instruc-
ion in the economics of business,
as AZ step to better industrial re-
Iations.
The subcommittee which pre-
pared the report is made up of the
blowing: Daniel Bloomfield fsec-
rotary of the committed lawyer
nd consultant in industrial rela-
tons; Charles w. Elliott, president
meritus of Harvard University; Ed
Yard A. ;Filene, president of Will
lam F'ilene's Sons Company; F. P.
Cox. general manager, General
rames NJ. Head, former mayor of
Nashville, Tenn: Frederick A.
cleveland of Boston University;
George E. MacIlwain of the Babson
Organization; John Calder. former
Industrial relations manager, Swift
e Co, and J. P. Snow, a prominent
Boston engineer.
A vote was taken three years ago
by the national council of the
league ,on the question, Should
here be active participation by
employees or representatives of en-
Dloyes in all problems of manage
nent affecting the worker?" and
the answer was an affirmative one
~ Is per cent of the 500 members
who voted. The present report
aimed to learn what was done in
this direction up to the present
time. and the committee has made
an intensive study of the expert
ence with this question throughout
he country.
The committee finds that the
movement for representation of
employees in the discussion and ad-
1ustment of working conditions IS
spreading rapidly, and that, in the
majority of cases where such plans
have been tried, they have been
successful in establishing better re-
Iations With few exceptions the
plans in operation give employees
advisory powers only, and that.
saws the committee, seems to he
the most practicable method of
representation at present.

that there are q large number of white

Why don't they go to the courts and
