Partners In Morality
BY Maurice X. Franks

Editors Note: Maurice R. Franks
is President of the National Labor
Management Foundation and Editor
of its official publication. Partners
In my last article, l pointed out
that when the Golden Rule en-
tered into ACKNOWLEDGEMENT rela-
lions, America really began to make
progress in a material way It fell
to the lot OF an automobile manu-
facturer to pioneer that trail
The whole process depended up
on just such emancipation as Henry
Ford, for one so swiftly brought
about when, overnight he volun-
tarily upped the minimum wage in
his auto factory from S1.50 to $500
per day BY doing SO, he made it
possible to sell cars to his own
people, his own workers. To sell
the cheap cars he was geared to
mass production, he couldn't
reasonably look to a handful Of
millionaires; he needed a vast new
middle class, created by emanci-
pating industry's impoverished
slaves. He couldn't emancipate them
all but he could emancipate his
own. And he did. And the gimmick
worked. And Henry set a ball to
rolling, and it was a very big ball
Whether consciously or mad
vertently, Henry Ford made con
tact with the Golden Rule and
pushed the button The result was
a dazzling light that filtered into
all corners of industry The masters
of American production were both
inspired and cornered into the
necessity of considering the other
fellow before themselves And soon
they discovered how richly reward
ing the other fellow could be-if
only as customer.
Out of the experience of many, a
new code of economics was de-
veloped. A code that was dynamic
because it was loaded with incen-
tives. A code that was richly re-
warding to everyone and therefore
could spin all the wheels of prog
ress.
That code was a deeply moral
one, if only because it was geared
to the greater and greater good of
always a greater number of people.
1t was moral because the self-in-
terest of one depended upon the
self-interest of others. 1t was moral
because its effect was emancipa-
ton, mutual consideration and the
sharing of what we produce. 1t was
moral because it served to enhance
the dignity of man and took us out
of an industrial jungle and created
a great new partnership of indus
trial effort 1t was moral because
its effect was to cancel the harsh

THE AMERICAN WAY

feudalism that had grown up win
our factory system and because it
led the way to fuller realization
of freedom as the GOd-fearing fore
fathers of our nation conceived and
construed it. Il was moral because
it was in all ways consistent with
the basic ethics of Christianity.
Now l do not say that this second
great phase of the industrial revo-
luton was ordered by a SpOntane-
Gus moral awakening | say only
that the combination of circum-
stances responsible for it had
final moral effect. which was there
to be recognized by those who could
or would. and that the moral char
acter of it became its ruling factor
and supplied the energizing force
of an amazing new era Of material
progress.
In a word. the Golden Rule works
whether we believe it or not. It
will work whether it is knowingly
or unknowingly applied And it will
work in reverse whenever and by
whomever its sacred edict is AFRO
ganUy or carelessly perverted.
And it is this last fact which
should deeply concern us all today
as all of us grow heavy with the
muchness our material progress has
conferred upon US.
Aware of how the Golden Rule
works, both forward and backward
as we ourselves direct its current,
we must make sure that our human
and industrial relations continue to
be based on emancipation, not en-
slavement-upon cultivating, not
curbirg human dignity
This means that our unions, which
pricked the consciences of laggard
employers in the agc Of industrial
feudalism. shall not now seek to
impose new feudalism of their
own through imposing the shackles
of compulsory unionism on the
