s~hell-backs, but Wilbur managed 70
do il.
For one thing. there was a ter

Lots OF people didn't realize that
the secretary was trying to run q
bluff, and thought he really intend
ed TO 20 ahead with his program. A
good many more, il they could see
he was bluffing, considered il a dan

tary Wilbur, Is quite a reduction.
IL makes the administration look
foolish.
Wilbur probably would have done
better if he hadn't asked for sc

Yet we mustn't assume that we're
necessarily saving any money.
The committee proposes actually Ia

Wilbur's scheme was only to have

MERITS OF INDUSTRIAL PEACE STRESSED
By JAMES JOHN DAVIS
Cn--nA--- -

Secretary Of Labor.
DANES John Davis was born in Tredegar. s.
Wales. in 1873. He came TO America with his
parents in 1881 and began to work in an iron works
factory at Sharon at the age Of IL. IN 1898 Davis
moved to Elwood, Ind, and worked in steel and tin
plate mills for several years. He served as city
clerk Of Elwood from 1895 to 1902, and as recorder
Of Madison county. Indiana. from 1908 70 1907.
Davis became director general Of the Loyal Order
Of Moose in 196, and increased the membership
from 247 to more than 100000. He was appointed
secretary OF labor BY the late President Harding
in 1920.
We never have known a time when employer and
employee worked together in such genuine partnership
American industry has never experienced an era q
such genuine partnership. Strikes and discords have
never been fewer. The country has never been 50
filled with general eontentment.
This generally prevailing harmony, this smoothness
Of operation in most Of our industries, has undoubt-
eddy played q great part in bring about the prosperity
we now have enjoyed for several years. And because
il is now pretty thoroughly understood TO be RESPONSE
bic for much Of our prosperity. I think that American
industry means 10 preserve this new spirit OF harmony
and make it a permanent thing.
Now every wise employer is after those ideas. ]
know any number of business enterprises where the
men At the head make a systematic effort to collec,
those ideas from their workers.
