“open house” and there was al
ways large groups of interesting
people—the well-known labor men
of that time, James O’Connell,
Andrew Furuseth, Frank Morri- ;
sonf John Mitehell, Tom Tracy
and many others. There would!
be' representatives of every walk
of life, a clergyman, an indus- I
trialist. an educator, a congress
man or senator, occasionally a j
visiting governor or mayor of ;
some large city. Among his
friends he numbered several well
known actors and certain of
them, such as Raymond Hitch
cock, Primrose, Dockstader, and
Neil O’Brien, never played Wash
ington without planning to spend
a few hours with him after the
show. He -would gather a group
of people to meet the visiting
star and we would have hilarious
entertainment. I remember meet-'
ing at his house famous musi-!
cians, artists, writers, and car
toonists, such as Swinnerton. and
then there were just “friends,"
his friends, his daughter’s friends,
and friends of friends. They!
weie all welcome; he liked them
all and liked to entertain them j
in his home.
In my very early youth, long;
before there was any thought of
the national prohibition experi-!
ment, I was an ardent prohibi
tionist, and grandfather — who
did not share my views—and 1;
would have long arguments about |
the pros and cons of the issue.
He apparently did not think it {
below his dignity to outline his j
ideas to one so young and to!
listen to mine on this and many
other subjects that came up for,
discussion between us. In this j
connection, I recall an occasion
when I walked into the dining |
room where grandfather and a
group of his Elk brethren were
standing with festive glasses in ,
hand, and he said, “Gentlemen,
may I introduce my white rib
bon granddaughter?”
Like most families we made
much of the big holidays such
as Thanksgiving and Christmas
but they always had to be cele
brated at grandfather’s. Every
year grandmother would make
an old-fashioned English plum i
pudding about the site and weight!
i of a cannon ball and I remember
with what ceremony grandfather j
would pour the brandy over it ]
and light it while 4re watched!
the flickering blue flame burn it- j
self out. He liked good food and |
a bountiful, well-set table,, and;
was unsparing in his praise of j
the efforts of his wife and
daughter to prepare the things
he liked. Often have I heard
him say “No one can make stuff
ing like mother.”

and resourceful management has
accomplished this.
“We have found by long ex
perience that our best hope of an
expanding market lies at home—
in the pay envelopes of the very
workers who produce the goods.
W'e are anxious to send our prod
ucts overseas, of course. But it
is not a part of the American
economic philosophy to rely on
foreign trade as the prime target
for expansion.
“It is not secret that Ameri
can labor's principal aim through
out the years has been to secure
higher wages.
“Our unions have followed up
their wage increases fey active
co-operation with employers in
reducing expenses, eliminating
waste and increasing output.
Union economists have shown
small employers how to operate
more efficiently. The unions have
even lent money to the employers
to keep machineiy going in slow
times.
“American __ labor is sincerely
anxious to extend the benefits of
its experence to its fellow work
ers throughout the world. It
does not claim to have a monop*
aly on co-operative intelligence,
but it does have a certain ad
vantage in the matter of co-op
erative experience. It would like
to see the workers of Europe,
of Asia, of South America, and
°f Africa able to enjoy the same
opportunities.
“An example of what can be
accomplished is contained in the
statistics on the production of
shoes. In 1949 the United
States produced enough shoes to
provide three pairs for every
man, woman and child in the
country. Many other .countries
do not produce aa much as one
pair of shoes peg person per
year. And even that less-than
one-pair of shoes is priced so
high as to seem almost a lux
ury.
“A program to increase pro
duct vty in shoe plants and to
reduce-costs so that the shoes
could be sold at prices within
the workers' reach, would im
mediately benefit large numbers
of people.

to begin is in the productivity
centers now being established in
Europe. These centers have the
advantage of being set op on a
tripartite basis—with lfbor, man*
agement and government all rep
resented. Here can be studied
the possibilities and effects of
new machinery and better pro
duction methods. Here, too, can
be established on a baste of mu
tual good faith real collective
bargaining procedures to ensure
that there will be a fair division
of the profits resulting from in
creased productivity and the cre
ation of adequate protection
against the layoffs resulting from
retooling or the introduction of
labor-saving machinery or meth
ods.
These centers will succeed if
the trade unions and employers’
federations adopt with enthusi
asm and vigor a program to ed
ucate the workers and the fam
ilies.”
