havior Of given man can be satisfied
by going to that mans associates and
fellow workmen and the leaders OF his
group to bring about the discipline.
In the wake Of group responsibility and
self-discipline will, Of course, come that
necessary institution to labor peace
anywhere: Just and proper represen-
tation for bargaining, for advising, for
disciplining and for settling grievances
which can be expressed through some
medium recognized as the collective
will.
Personnel departments and men en-
gagged in personnel work where great
numbers Of men are employed must re-
orient their entire aims and their ac-
tivities. Too often personnel Offices
have been established and personnel
officers have been installed to handle
the least important of all personnel
work, that Of hiring and firing, or to
enforce single theory of labor ac-
tivity. Industry generally has feared
labor group action but in its own &C
tivities 1t has gravitated toward group
action itself. Thus, that which it has
! thought good for itself 1t has feared
in others. That has produced during
periods OF strife united front for one
side and guerilla action for the other
AS the average mans sympathy Is
generally with the under dog, industry
therefore has unconsciously alienated

tween right and wrong 1t is a clash
generally between two rights. That
is what makes war in an interna-
tional sense and what causes strikes
in an industrial sense.
The parties to a strike and to a
war never attain the objectlyes for
which they are contending. They
merely attain the privilege to sit
AROUND the table and talk about those
objectives. Therefore, If We can
bring about the round-table discus
sion before the war or before the
strike. the strife, the suffering and
the loss in each case might be
avoided.
Man is social creature, and all
OF mans activities are social in their
nature. We all know this fact when
We are thoughtful. You can not even
punish a murderer without punish
ing the most innocent of all persons,
the murderer's mother Thus the
insistence upon rights and the insist
ence upon absolute justice sometimes
wreck havoc upon those in whom we
are the most interested Employ
are more temperate in their firing
habits, and employees are more tenn
perate in their threats to strike, to
walk out or sit down when they re-
member their social nature and when
each thinks of dependent women and
children.
How, then can we correct these ills
in our industrial and labor life? Gov
ernment by allowing one group to stay
a cooperative action definitely seems
to be standing in the way. But on
analysis it is not government, because
government itself very seldom initiates
action in labor and industrial disputes.
1t is the groups who must be held
responsible. To what extent should
the public assume the responsibility to
see that these groups at least behave
themselves and play within bounds?
That is our problem
| First and foremost, above all other
| things, the public should insist that
all phases Of labor and industrial spy
ing should be done away with. The
| spy in society has always been treated
/ with contempt. In war times he is
| shot almost without ceremony. In
| peace times, if he is discovered, he be-
comes pariah in society, and the
reason for this is a very simple one.
Social intercourse and social rela-
Evening star., 1937-03-23

tions must be founded on trust. The
mere thought of the presence OF a spy
destroys trust. Through use of spies
the employer becomes dependent upon
information which he cannot trust,
upon men whose very business is un-
reliable and uncertain, thus ultimately
destroying the employers ability to
think straight. The employe, realiz-
ing that he is constantly watched. be-
comes a victim of fear, which destroys
his efficiency, his happiness, and inter-
feres with his ability to get rest during
his resting hours.
In each case the element of fear
enters and both employer and en-
ploye live in an atmosphere of un-
reality because they live in the pres
ence Of imaginary fears. Thus, the
spying system must be destroyed for
the good OF the spy, for the good of
those who use him and for the good Of
the men against whom he is used.
Makes-Never Cures-TrOuble.
The spying system makes for trouble
instead of curing it. 1t breaks down
peace efforts between the parties to a
conflict, because the spy business
thrlves on disorder and distrust. 1t
prevents the efforts of third parties
who aid in solving differences, even
though the third parties be public
servants and representatives of the
Government, by preventing open and
Tree discussion by implanting in the
hearts and minds of all suspicion even
OF those they deem their best friends
Inc mutual relationship among
employer, employe and the public
must be brought home to all con-
cerned. The happy medium between
the cynic's question, Am 1 my broth
ers keeper" and the effect of a
probable answer and assertion. This
Is mine and l can do with it as I
want, must in some way be reached,
These questions have been solved in
many places. Therefore, they can be
solved in all. They have been solved
70 the advantage of all concerned,
better in some phases of our indus
trial life than they have in others.
In general, in those great indus
tries where Federal regulation has
been permitted, we find labor better
disciplining itself, better organized
and doing more for its individual
member than in those industries
which are dependent upon State law.
And we find also the owner and the
employer more free from the fear of
strikes and labor discomfort, and on
friendlier relations for the solution
of troubles than in those industries
dependent only upon State law.
Labor Must Be Responsible.
Labor in some way must become
more responsible for its group action
than it is today This could be
brought about by giving labor organ
izations the opportunity for becom-
ing legal entities, and in this way
let them be responsible for their acts
and indirectly for the acts Ct their
members. 1t must never be forgot
ten that labor organizations are
Evening star., 1937-03-23

voluntary organizations. They must
never have forced upon them a legal
entity strong enough to destroy the
complete freedom Of their members.
Moral and not legal responsibility
should be the aim.
Simple registration will attain this,
for by that act responsibility is i'm
piled; or better still it may he brought
about by the open recognition on the
part of an employer OF a laboring
group as having sll of the qualifica-
tlons OF legal entity and using the
force Of public opinion upon the group
to such an extent that it will as
sumo its whole responsibility.
The disciplining of the individual
laborer, both as to standards of work.
manship and social and economic be-
haVlor on the one hand and his atti-
tude toward his employer and toward
his neighbor on the other, must be-
come self-enforced. BY that I mean
that the employer should be relieved
OF these disciplinary measures. This
can be done only by placing that re-
sponsibility on the labori.g group.
Public opinion will do the rest il it is
understood by all that the RESPONSE
bility is there.
1t is tremendous asset to an en-
ployer of great number Of laboring
men to know that his grievances

that liberty is best maintained by
keeping our governmental functions
separate and our governmental powers
distributed between the State and the
Nation. Thus, government in the
United States seems to be constantly
against itself. When it functions
properly, instead of there being
contest between the branches and the
powers of government we have CO.
operation between them, and through
cooperation the men, women and
children in America have gained
their greatest blessings.
Two Outstanding Examples.
Our outstanding examples of CO.
operation for the good of the people
between the State and the Nation
are probably the cooperation between
the State and the Nation in regard to
education and the cooperation be-
tween the State and the Nation in
regard to roads. Both of these major
activities have at some time in our
history, much as We realize their
necessity today, been deemed by many
as unconstitutional activities. l men,
ton this fact to illustrate my point
that through cooperation great gains
have come and those gains might
have been lost had the efforts of the
particular group to restrain the CO.
operative action by an emphasis of
its probable unconstitutionality been
sustained.
Thus. think, we may generalize to
this extent: that when all parties of
interest to given governmental prob
lem work in accordance with the
fundamental spirit of democracy, that
fundamental spirit being built upon
| self-restraint, self-control and fair
play, We in Amrica hav gon for
ward But when the particular group
has attempted to interpret its rights
as being of paramount interest, and
| the rights of the public and the rights
of the opposing group of merely sec
| ondary interest, and government sup
| ports the one group, then we have
| had trouble and sometimes govern
mental and industrial chaos and dis
| order.
In labor relations we can see that
our same generalizations hold true.
The employer who insists absolutely
upon his rights and who assumes
that those rights are separate from
and distinct from the rights of the
public, brings strife, discomfort, dis
trust and sometimes disorder. When
the public acts through its agencies
in an arbitrary manner and supports
one faction against the other it, too,
brings distrust and disorder And
when the employe assumes that his
| individual interest is of primary i'm
portance and he insists upon his
rights to the extent that they con-
tlict with the rights of others, then
| again we have disorder.
Haste Makes Waste.
AS there is mutual interdepend-
| ence among employer, employee and
the public, cooperation between the
three is essential, and when it does
not exist there Is strife, loss and
disorder. If the loss were sustained
by just one group, if the strife af-
fected but one or If the disorder
were localized and affected only the
non-co-operative group, We might
quickly pass judgment and punish
the wrongdoer, but the problem is
greater one than conflict be-

the sympathy Of the public, excepting
that part Of the public which is con-
trolled by forced editorials. The pub
lie in general, though, already under
stands such control and discounts it,
Thus industry alone is responsible for
not allowing the weight Of public opin-
ion to gravitate to 1t. This is q tre-
mendous disadvantage which industry
by its own change OF attitude can re-
move. These personnel men should be
we'll schooled In labor relations and
human understanding. The labor
problems Of the world should be their
study and not the job as it faces them
