tivity in the field.
Professor Is Speaker
Principal speaker at the ban
quet was Professor H. Gordon

omics of Ohio State University.
In speech that tickled the dele
gates, Hayes charged that ours
was "a laboristic economy, not
an owners economy" Today,
he said, most people are en-
ployees, not employers, and he
traced this difference to the in
dustrial revolution.
Fridays session opened with
discussion, led by Secretary
Treasurer Clayman, of the new
workmens compensation law
just passed by the legislature.
He called it a great stride"
forward but pointed out much
is left to be done before the CIO
can agree that the injured work
er is receiving adequate care.

compensation part of the ses-

In closing the school, Secre-
