protect well-intentioned industry
from cut-throat competition. If
this is done, I believe that in
dustry can be left to solve it's
own problems.
Greater production means
ability to pay better wages and a
higher standard of living"
Among the more immediate
fields of expansion, Mr.. Merrick
sees the extension of rural cleo
IRRIGATION, now well under way,
and the development of more
efficient and less costly methods
of air conditioning. He looks
also for the arrival of television
in the not too distant future.
Mr. Merrick believes that a ris-
ing standard of living will amelio-
rate many of the present social
difficulties. He believes that in
dustrial developments will put
more people to work with the
passage of time.
'It is mistake to think that
the macnlne throws people out or
work" he says. "It puts them back
to work. 1t does this by develop
ing new industries. The automo-
bile industry is a good case in
point. Without the industries
which were developed in the last
decades, the depression would
have been far worse than it was.
1.-THE nation is emerging from
the depression by reason of the
development of new products.
I'VE may expect many new
products in the future.
Il Il 4
DROGREss can be expected in
i the electrochemical field, in
the metallurgical field, and in the
biological field. The advance of
science is not easily charted."

they remain so until they shuttle
off, whereas others are unselfish,
quiet, cautious, modest and phil
snthropic, and still others are in
between. If we took all the nom
sense out of public statements about
human nature there wouldn't be
much left, simply because we don't
know very much about 1t.

co-ordinated efforts of many" he
says. Harmonious relations be-
tween those responsible for for
mulating plans and those respon-
sible for executing them form the
Intangible elements of organiza-
ton. The technical progress of
Westinghouse during its so years
is the reSult-not the cause-of
relations which had woven the
fabric of organization prior to
the marketing of any of its prod
ucts."
The Saturday half-holiday was
first introduced in this country by
George Westinghouse on June l,
1881. Early in its history the
Westinghouse company introduced
programs of training and educa-
tional cooperation.
Approximately 5000 boys have
learned a trade in the Westing-
house shops. High school grad
yates have been prepared for cler-
ical, sales and semitechnical po-
sitionS.
The Westinghouse technical
night school has had more than
10000 students enrolled in it's
courses in engineering and allied
subjects since its founding in
1902. More than 5000 graduates
of engineering schools have OBJ
tanned their first practical expe-
rience in the shops of the West
inghouse plants. In 1885 the
company organized the Westing-
house order of merit to recognize
conspicuous accomplishment in its
ranks.
Today, with it's products in use
in every corner of the globe, the
company faces the next so years
with courage and confidence.

4 A VAST number of men would
Il have much harder time be-
cause they would have to support
their women in idlenesS. While
there is still a lot of work and
drudgery to be done in the home
there is very little that creates any
form of wealth, as did the old home
activities of women when they wove
and preserved foods and knitted
and made all the family clothes
The employment of women outside
the home is huge, complex prob
lem and there is no one simple
answer to it-certainly shooting
them all back indoors is not 60
ing to be the final best answer.
No easy answer to any social prob
lem is ever the right one.

Mr.. Merrick emphasizes the fact
that material things are not the
goal of our civilization, but he
points out that progress is made
possible only when there is ade-
quate time for thought.
Compare this country with
China he says. There is no
mechanization in China and as a
result every one is SO busy think
ing about his next meal that. there
is no time left to think about any,
thing else.
Here in America, because Of the
advances of the machine age,
there is time to think of the gen.
eral good"
Mr.. Merrick says that it is a
fact that progress in the social
sciences has Jagged behind the adj
vances in physical science but he
thinks that this is due largely to
the more complex problems to be
met in the social sciences. He
thinks, however, that the social
sciences are beginning to catch up.
I'm the field of living, old-fash-
toned advice is still the best in
many ways" he continues. There
is no substitute for character.
Wisdom, honesty and courage are
the elements of character. We
must strive for these"
Mr.. Merrick points out that the
Westinghouse company has long
given thought to its relations with
it's employees.

VXTASHINGTON, May 49,
w Generalissimos of the Re-
publican national convention are
having hard time trying to per-
Suade Gov. ALI Landon to agree
in the event he is nominated-to
stage his acceptance speech at the
Cleveland convention. The man
ayers are planning a monster po-
litical rally as the concluding
feature of the convention, with
the nominee as the big attraction.
Landon is very chilly, however, to
the idea of putting in personal
appearance. First, because he
thinks the plan apes the Demo-
Gratis; second, because it would
neceSSitate an air trip, which does
not appeal to him. ALT has told
the convention directors that he
prefers an old-fashioned accept
ance ceremony at Topeka. -.

Great Falls Unions
Suggest Annual Dance

Great Falls Unions have hit upon an
innovation in the matter of social al
fairs. On January the 18th in that city
the Laundry Workers organization
held a party at the Carpenters hall and
invited as their guests members of the
Cooks and Walters Union. The affair
wholly free, including dancing and
refreshments.
On February, the 4th, the Cooks
and Walters returned the compliment
and held a similar party at Columbia
Hall. They invited as their guests the
Laundry Workers organization. APP
proximately two hundred people at
tended each party.
The idea contained in these union
entertainments is a novel one and car
ries out reciprocal attachments for the
organizations participating. 1t might be
suggested that the plan could be en-
larged to embrace a proposition where
in organized labor as a whole should
hold one grand function of this sort
each year. Undoubtedly if such an
idea were developed a joint celebration
OF this character would soon be re-
as the outstanding social event
OF the year in any community.
The Presidents ball carried the germ
OF such a plan. Nearly all the or
CARNATIONS in Butte subscribed and
sent members, yet it couldn't be de-
scribed as a true union entertainment.
The complimentary dances by the
and Walters and Laundry
Workers of Great Falls should be de-
veloped 1t goes without saying that
a social affair among the unions are a
strong factor both in the o-rganizational
structure and in the economic aims of
the unions.
Butte unions send their congratula-
to the %originators of the idea in
Great Falls.

WULF REALTY COMPANY STATES
POSITION OF INSURANCE COMPANIES

The following article was submitted
by Mr.. Wulf in an effort to state the
position Of the insurance companies and
is not intended as a position OF the
Montana Labor News, nor to be con
troversial in any way
For your information relative to
fire insurance will state that our
concern is not so much interested about
losing the library insurance as it is
about a movement on foot to cut
agents commission which would affect
the earnings Of $500 agents in the
State Of Montana, and several thousand
in the United States. This is brought
about by the close margin of profit in
the fire insurance business which is still
a competitive business.
Organized labor would protect a Soc
day cut in wages and the National Or
