and : employes -,' who beNm?
ness that .much wiir.comes out of the
labor conference called for, October
6 by President -Wilson. .ThQ-men

all sorts of. beliefs and no doubt will
not mince , words in presenting themi

Lthere. ever, was, a,tiine.4or" plain
Dcaiung n, is - now President yWil
son is expected' to give some extra
ordinary advice to, tjxe conference
and will' urge its anDrovai. J. .
Of; course; President Samuel Gom-
pers will lea the. labor delegates to
the conference, s No , man, in' our
time or any other period of, history,"
has such a command of the knowl
edge .necessary to , nut labor's, ao
before;, the 'worlds His courage:, in
every crisis ; that has arisen sin - la
bor inthe "past half century! is a
matter of history. ; He knows what
to say and when to say it. ,
The - world also is anxious to
know what Judere E. H. Oarv ha to
say about the relations between em-'
ing the President -of " the : nnitrt
.States," who bad urged ', him to meet !
icyicocuiauves ox. nis employes ' to
avert a -dangerous industrial dfspute,
th6 4. people of the country would like
to know, his viejwpoint. ; ,
It will be a most interesting fea-?
ture. of : the ' conference -to hear Gary
and" the President debate the right
of labor to organize "and bargain col
lectively -with employers. The Presi
dent's; position is -known, for he has
t?aidf and it applies to Mr. Gary: : '
K It is always . dangerous for a
man to have the' floor entirely to
himself Therefore we must insist
in . every .instance that : the parties
come i into each ' other's presence and
there ; discuss t the - issues between
them and not separately in places
where they have no communication
with each other." .
Much curiosity is expressed as to
whether John;- D. Rockefeller. Jr.!
will extol his plan of labor organiza
tion introduced in Colorado. As it
has failed and the employes have
rebelled : V against "the I "comuanV
union" it will be interesting to hear
Mr. Rockefeller tell what he thinks
now. , - "
Labor " will- present its plan of-
bringlng . industrial peace. It .is
probable i that the Reconstruction
Platform adopted at the Atlantic
City convention; said to be the great
est program ever prepared to give
practical-relief --in t the -present dis
turbed conditions;, of the country i
will be' submitted for consideration.
The great motive behind the con
ference is to ' eret . leaders of .both
sides v in ..industry together where
they can thrash out their grievances
and - find ? a way to harmonize - them
as 'much ' as possible. For no one
ever :'looks for a- solution of the la
bor problem . except those who know
nothing :, about It. it i never will he
solved, but there can be a way found
to link "employers and employes clos
er! together on' certain fundamental
principles,' . "
Tie great obstacle to this harmony
of -thought . along practical', lines is
the determination- to ' maintain at;
all. hazards autocracy1 in industry. It i
is therefore to be a verbal ; battle i
between those who favor democracy
in industry and , those ; who favor
autocracy. - now can these two wide
ly separated beliefs be brought
nearer each other? ' Those . who are
fighting, for r democracy in: industry
have a simple program. They Want
the acceptance by all industry of the
right '; to organize . and to .; have v. a
voice :.ink fixing ;wages . and working
conditions. The industrial autocrat'
maintains he must; be . the sole arbi
ter 'of the ' . destinies of those V who
work.; Ke "fixes the wages to be
paid and conditions of- employment
or, the workers. They must accept
them or' Quit. : '
Many ( "intellectuals" are regret-
tins: that the President did. not ar
range fc for the appointment of ; repre
sentatives ' to the conference of un
organized - workers. : i They fear the"
non-union men of the country will
not be represented. 1 Labor officials
point out that the unorganized will
be well represented by Mr Gary an
Mr.. Rockefeller. In no other way
could' they i be reoresented' i as ' the
unorganized worker is voiceless He
Is an individualist who cannot speak
so the world will ' hear. iHe is em
ployed by the autocrat n industry,'
who not only fixes his V wages and
working conditions but also speaks ,
for him in the, world of men. And
what the autocrat , j thinks the ; non
union' man should say or do always
is that which ' the i autocrat r wduld
sav or do. - "' r -
Much is . therefore 1 expected to
come ;out of, ;tfie .conference. The
people will have van opportunity,;; to
learn where certain men stand Nand
the reason for ' their." struggle to
maintain autocratic control of , indus
try. Whether they change their opin
ions or not the public will know, who
is responsible for Industrial dis
putes. And,- the , public also , will
know who ,'is ' responsible . for the
steel strike. ' ' J . r , '

(American Pressman.) ) r .
While 'employers and emnlnves
chase each other 'in a merry-go-lound,
the.' industrial structure of
the country becomes constantly more
uncertain. - The cost of livine eoes
up, - due to jnany things :too' numer-
ous and complicated to name here
even -if we knew, them,' and with this
rise in .costs cpmes the necessity of
an increase in wages., This increase
in wages is not generally in propor
tion' to the . cost of livingcertainly ,
but is suflicient to warrant, in their
own minds,someI'manufactuT:ers and
retailers tacking on a further in
crease in. the cost of their, products.
L There ' are all kigds of schemes
proposed to cut down the cost of
living; some tell us that government
ownership' of railroads and other
public carriers- which . would, of
course, ultimately -result in govern
ment ownership - of everything" . or
nothing depending; upon the suc
cess of ; the venture is the ideal
solution. By others we are told
that the production of our industries
must be increased . and the : govern
ment especially agitates . thrift as a
means' - of lowering the cost of liv
ing. We maintain that our Indus-'
trial equilibrium' can onryf be" re
gained by . a combination' - of in
creased production, - elimination ' of
profiteering and the exercising of
thrift. To promote these now be
fore a depression "comes along is tbe
logical solution. To- do so' means
that we must co-operate, and to co
operate does not mean that one side
shall have, all the advantage.
If we are to lower; the cost bf liv
ingeither by a reduction in the cost
of necessities or by holding the cost
within reason .after wages .are
raised, and. at the same "time grad
ually decrease: our hours of work.
then by all rules of ? common sense,
we must, after getting rid of the
profiteer," . increase production and
eliminate waist. The' problem of
increased ..-nroflup.tJnn':-.-. rpsta Annnnv
upon(the - employer and employe. No
.employe will break his neck to turn
out - more when he knows that his
employer has not done his share. It
is then the employer's dutyto see
tnat nis - piant is in shape to get
production Those who fail to pro
vide: ' the1' necessary equipment
those who . have no system in their
offices or plants those printers' who
give away their products simply to
see the workers work; and the ma
chines runHave no kick coming
when the employes fail to put on
full steam. , - "
A detriment to . increased output
is the inefficient, incompetent work
ers and those who wish to earn
money without effort, mental or
physical. ..If it necessary to in
crease production, then it is imper
ative that the "number of those, who
are unable or refuse to ' produce
should be reduced. It ;has been
demonstrated that the inebmnetent
can; be eliminated through educa
tion. Perhaps the slacker can also
be eliminated, but if he cannot, then
economic pressure will ' get rid . , of
him when the industrv heenmes
more . efficient. It ' is as much the
duty of organized labor to see that
each - member produces his - share ac
cording to his physical and mental
capacity -as it k Is that , he K receives
just' compensation' and -good working
conditions. ; And yet if Is not neces-i
sary or advisable :that the workers
be ; speeaea up in oraer to- get Great
