that there is no. real bargaining.
There can be no Justification for
such tactics at the present time,
or In the future.
If this conference can recommend
answers to the public demand for
machinery to prevent or settle in
Idustrial disputes, 1t will have made
vast progress toward industrial
peace. 1t will have laid founda-
ton for an era OF prosperity and
security.
The whole world now needs the
produce Of our mills and factories
everything stands ready and primed
for a great future. But situations
and circumstances can change rap
idly. Our unparalleled opportunity
may not long remain open. We
must have production-vast produc-
ton. We must have it soon.
In order to have it, labor and
management must work together to
expand the economy of our Nation
as they worked together to protect
the safety of our Nation during the
war, If we get the production that
we need-the production which our
resources and industrial skill make
possible, the present problem oi
wages and prices will be easier te
solve. Production means employ
ment. 1t means economic health
It means higher wages and lower
prices. 1t means the difference be-
tween strength and prosperity and
uncertainty and depression.
Must Accept Decisions.
The men in this room direct a
cross-section Of American industry
and lead American labor of all
opinions. But you will fully sue
ceed only if labor and industry as
a whole will willingly accept your
decisions and will adopt the con-
victions developed out of this con-
ference.
The American people know the
enormous size of your TASK. But
the stakes are enormous, too. If the
people do not find the answers here
they will find them some place else.
For these answers must and will
be found. The whole system of pri-
vate enterprise and individual op-
portunity depends upon finding
them. a
When industrial strife becomes
widespread, all of us lose the things
we need-the wages that labor
wants, the earnings and dividends
that businessmen and investors
want, the products that the con-
sumers want. No realist can expect
the millennium of a perfect no.
strike, no lockout era at once. But
continued production and an ex-
panding industry-unhampered as
far as humanity possible by stop
pages of work-are absolutely es-
sential to progress.
That is the road to security at
home and to peace abroad. We can
not fail in our efforts to move for
ward on that road.
