Telephone Company Head
Tells Bankers Good Will Is
Now Powerful Factor.
BY the Associated Press.


ST. PETERSBURG. Fla, Deem
ber 1.-THE fourteenth annual con
Vention of the Investment Bankers
Association closed here today. Three
hundred of the $50 delegates in at
tendance departed this afternoon for
Havana, Cuba, while the remainder
LETT on special trains for their homes.
The closing days program was fea-
tured by an address delivered by
w. s. Clifford, president of the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph Co. Mr.
Clifford spoke on Significant Factors
i'll Our Economic Progress" Two
committee reports, puhXc service Sc
curities and business conduct, were
submitted to the convention.
Not so long ago" Mr.. Clifford
stated "the business world was OPP
posed to any form of Government reg
ulation. Today it is felt that such
regulation can he worked out with
every prospect of advantage"
Improvement i'm Relations.
A great Improvement has been eff
fected in the relations between bust
ness and the people, the speaker de-
Clared. Large enterprises are all anN
ious for the good will of the public.
and l venture to say that no one of
them would think today of disregard
ing public good will. This in itself is
a powerful factor in business progress
and i'll the regulation OF business prac-
1iCas."
Calling attention to the present
trend toward public ownership of
large enterprises, Mr.. Clifford noted
relative tendency toward a different
responsibility of management - the
management becoming, in effect, trus-
tees for the investments of large and
scattered bodies of people.
With it also" he added, would
seem to go Il change in the relations
between labor and capital. The old
master -and-servant idea, which almost
necessarily existed when the owner
was the manager. is giving place to
system based more on the spirit of
cooperation than of conflict
