Advertising Club Told
Business Must Aid
Industrial Democracy

Declaring that business has failed
to keep pace with Government in
establishing democracy, Thomas R.
Reid, former executive vice presi-
dent of the United States Junior
Chamber of Commerce, yesterday
called on management to give en-
ployes greater voice in the plan
ming and operation of industry.
Speaking before luncheon meet
ing of the Advertising Club of
Washington at the Washington
Hotel, Mr.. Reid, who is personnel
and public relations officer of Nc
Cormick & Co., tea, coffee and
spice firm, said that business must
put "its house in order" if free en-
terprise is to survive.
Mr.. Reid said participation of
employees in the direction of busi-
ness will benefit both the worker
and the employer.
Cites Firms Plan.
Democracy in business can exist
the same as democracy in govern
ment." Mr.. Reid declared, pointing
to the multiple management" plan
of Mccormick g. Co., through which
employe representatives assist in
planning and operating the business.
"The plan is not only a success
in our company, but has since been
adopted by more than 500 firms in
the country" Mr.. Reid said.
Better spirit, loyalty and CO.
operation by the worker aid the firm
as well as give gifted employees
chance to advance themselves" Mr..
Reid said.
He declared labor unions in some
industries have been essential, be-
cause some industries failed to con-
slider employe welfare.
Calls Unions Necessary.
Business must face the fact that
labor unions are necessary and busi-
ness must take over some of the
functions that labor unions have
taken over" Mr.. Reid said, adding:
Democracy is defeating dictator
ship in war. Democracy in business
has proved its superiority on the
home front. Multiple management
and plans of equal unselfishness like
it will assure the employe group in
the future the same privileges OF
democracy in their jobs which we
are fighting to maintain for them
as citizens in a free Nation"

prevent the various States IRON
certifying to the total vote cast fol-
presidential electors.
There are many in Congress who
feel that the Federal Government
has the right to control soldier bal
loting, but there are others who feel
that anything which the Federal
Government may do except to help
transport or collect the ballots would
open up the question of validity of
the ballots themselves.
The Conference Committee Of
the Senate and House has worked
out a compromise which some re-
ports say may be vetoed by the
President when it reaches him. The
reason as given is not the constitu-
tionality of the measure, but the
belief that it does not provide voting
opportunities for enough soldiers.
Constitution Quoted.
The Constitution says:
Each State shall appoint in such
manner as the legislature may di-
rect, number of electors, equal to
the whole number of Senators and
Representatives which the State
may be entitled in Congress"
The method of electing presiden-
tial electors is something which each
State has hitherto prescribed.
Absentee voting has always been a
matter of State supervision. The
Federal Government enters into the
picture this year only because of
the war situation. This has led
some members of Congress to assert
handle the voting and turn the
ballots over to the States. Actually
the laws and regulations determin-
ing what is or is not proper ballot
are made by the several States.
Hence, if any ballot is cast under
direction of the Federal Government
by reason of law passed by Con-
greSs and this is in conflict with a
State law or rule the ballot can be
invalidated.
This means that every ballot
would have to be examined and some
ruling made as to whether it con-
forms to the State laws. Much con-
fusion would result from such chal-
lenges and possibly there would be
delays.
1916 Is Recalled.
Under the present system whereby
q President is inaugurated on
January 20, there is not as much
time as there was formerly after
election day. Hence, in the inter
vening period of a little more than
two months the country would be
asked to wait till court decisions
could be rendered on the subject
Of doubtful voting. Certainly, men,
bers Of Congress who must take
their seats early in January would
not know their status by that time
If they were involved in litigation
as to the validity of soldier ballots
Soldiers have voted before. Back
In 1916 the votes from our soldiers
on the Mexican border trickled in
slowly and were not counted in Min
nesota, for instance, until several
days after the election. In a close
election a poorly worded soldier bal
lot bill could cause delays and en-
barrassments, especially at critical
time such as the country may face
toward the end of 1914 and the be-
ginning of 1945.
Congress in the compromise meas
ure has eliminated most of the legal
flaws, but there are some Senators
and Representative who insist that
so-called Federal ballot is lawful
and should be adopted so that more
soldiers can vote. The test being
applied by the administration, it is
