SYMBOL OF INDUSTRIAL UNITY

(Christian Science Monitor)
Settlement of difficulties through vol
untary cooperation always is preferable
to settlement by strife or coercion. This is
automatic in labor affairs. Therefore, it
is heartening sign to see the heads OF
the two chief labor organizations IN
America and of the principal employers
group issue joint code of principe IS for
mutual advancement. They call it the
New Charter for Labor and Manage
ment."
Naturally, such a statement, while
hopefully symbolic of labor-industry
unity, remains purely token until unit
ed action under its terms shall breathe
life into its words. But that leading rep
resentatives of labor and capital should
meet voluntarily and work for months
for this charter of industrial peace is at
once a commentary on the craftsmanship
of those who took part and an augury OF
postwar cooperation
One of the chief points in the charter,
overlooked in some summaries, is labor's
recognition that there should be no ham,
pering of production but. on the contrary,
an encouragement of efficiency and tech
biological advancement. At the same time
industry acknowledges the ultimate of
labor's aims: steadily advancing stand
ard of living. The joint recognition that
best results must obtain under private
competitive capitalism should assuage
the ears of some that labor is going COM
munistic" Messrs. Green. Murray and
Johnston deserve the highest praise for
their efforts.
