In the present era Of full produc-
tion and good business, there is no
question but that the new spirit OF
cooperation and understanding
which is growing up between the
two principal elements of industry
managers and workcrs-Which has
so impressed itself on our business
life. is in large measure responsible
for the conditions we find in Amcri.
CT today.
Cooperation and good will are to-
day extending Throughout the whole
fibre Of American business, and
this condition is responsible, in my
opinion, for the happy situation
which prevails.
Even in one or two of our major
industries which have !ecn serious.

efforts are being made to correct
their ills and improve existing con-
di..ons.

the rapid mcchanization of industry
our chief duty is to keep all our

American standard of living.
We must also do our best to see
that the old workers are protected in
their right of employment. 1t has
been concmsively proven that we
cannot have a full measure of pros
