any time in recent years. There
is to be noted, too, growing
tendency among both men and en-
ployers to resort to conciliation and
mediation in industrial controver-
sizes before such disputes reach the
stage of open strikes or lockout. More
and more of the disputes laid before
federal commissioners of conci!iat1on
are brought to their attention before
production has been suspended.
Without fostering and extending
this tendency toward cooperation
we cannot hope for a continuance
of that PROSPERITY which has blessed
American industry and labor during
the past year. We must put fortn
every effort to keep worker and en-
ployer mutually satisfied. In order
that their exertions may be mutually
prosperous and that their prosperity
may rebound to the best interests or
the country as a whole. Unless this
is done we shall lose all that we have
gained, and face the perils which
have engulfed other nations during
the last few years.
american labor has. completed
happy and successful year. With the
worker and the employer operating
in amity and cooperation, we may
hope to move forward to another
period of peace and prosperity.
