51 years ago, until the pn*-iit.
Always lis iareer lias been spec
tacular. I'rowds have passed
through its portals to att'-nd the
ai rival of peiiuaiit c overed trains iu
in times when raiiroads w.*rc snak
ing historic speed records. Grand
op- la stars have made their debuts
there, boxers and wrestlers have
gained and lost championships,
six-day bicyclists have pedalled their
weary courses, bronchos have been
busted, elephants have trumpeted
and clowns have cavorted, (lower
shows have bloomed and politician*
have thundered under its rafters.
Adding notoriety to its varlega'^d
history the Garden Tower, which
rears its weatherbeaten 10 stories
above the rest of the structure, was
the sceue in 1906 of a sensational
murder, the killing of the architect
of .Madison Square Garden, Stan
ford White, at the hand of Harry K.
Thaw. ?
Before it quit the work-a-day
world to enter the realm of pleasure,
the Garden was the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Kilrod's central
station in this city. Then P. T.
Barnum, whose local museums,
traveling circuses and epigrams
were bringing him fame, leased the
rambling structure for "entertain
ment and exhibition" purposes, in
1S":{. He named it the "The Hip
podrome."
Two years later Giliuore, the fa
mous bandmaster, gained control
of the property, recliristened it "Gil
more*8 Garden," and put on a series
of concerts. It was not until 1X7D
that the place look the name of the.
beautiful park it now fares, and be
came Madison Square Garden. To
the eye, however, it still was a rail- ,
road station.
Then, in 1889, largely as a pub
lic benevolence, the lale J. 1*. Mor
gan and his son and i:t other of
New York's wealthiest men financed
the erection of a new biulding on
the site, the one that stands today.
It is a structure of brick and stone
covering 32 city lots between Madi
lsoit and Fourth Avenues on the
edge of Madison Square. It's
architecture is of the Uennaissance
style. An heroic figure of Diana in
bronze poises atop the tower.
The Garden was designed so that
it could he transformed in a few
hours to suit any form of public en-.
tertalnment, and it can seat 15,000
persons.
An army of workmen is on duty,
always, using "props" from the Gar-I
den's huge underground storerooms, 1
to make a swimming tank here, a
pressroom for a thousand newspa
pers there, a circus menagerie some-:
where else.
A conventionally equipped theater j
with seats for l.ooO is tucked away;
in one corner of the Garden, staging
dally performances independently of >
the plain building. A concert h ill
is nearly lost In another corner. Its
roof garden was one of the first in
the city.
Since 1912 the financial career of
the Garden has been a hectic one.,
It wasn't paying, and it was only
when its maintenance was assured
for a period of three years by exhi
bition and sporting interests that It
was kept open.

The stundards of honesty. of a
sense of mutual obligation and of
service were determined U.ono years
ago. They may r.?|uin* .u time to

for them Increases infinitely in high
places either in business or Govern

fineness of moral perception. Their
failure is a blow at the repute of
business and at confidence in Gov
ernment Itself.
The second field and the one
which I am primarily discussing Is
th*' great area of Indirect economic
wrong and unethical practices that
spring np under the pressures of
compMitlon an habit. There is also
the ftreat field of economic waste
through destructive competition,
througli strikes, booms and slumps,
unemployment, through failure* of
our different Industries to synchron

which directly lower our produc
tivity and employment. Waste may

of standards and their adoption. I j
would go further; I believe we are
in the presence of a new era in the
: organization of industry and com
merce in which, if properly directed,
lie for^s pregnant with infinite
' possibilities of moral progress. I
believe that we are. almost un
noticed, in the midst of a great re
; volution?or perhaps a better word,'
a transformation in the whole super-j
J organization of our economic life.)
? We are passing from a period of
I extremely individualistic action in
to a period of associational activl
vltles.
Practically our entire American
working world is now organized in
to some form of economic associa
tion. We have trade associations j
and trade Institutes embracing par-1
ticular industries and occupations. I
j We have chambers of commerce!
I embracing representatives of differ-!
J ent industries and commerce. We1
j have the labor unions representing \
[the different crafts. We have asso
ciations embracing all the different
I professions?law engineering, med-j
I iclne, banking, real estate and what'
I not. We have farmers* associatia
lions, and we have the enormous
growth of farmers' cooperatives fori
| actual dealing in commodities. Oft
? indirect kin to this is tho great in
crease in ownership of industries by J
their employees, and customers, and;
lugain we have a tremendous expan-j
sion of mutual insurance and liauk-i
i ing.
Although such associational \
I organizations can trace parentage to
the middle ages,I yet in their present
: implication they are tho birth of
' the last fifty years, and in fact their ?
growth to enveloping numbers is of
i the last twenty-five years. We havej
' perhaps, 25,000 such associational j
'activities In the economic field.
'Membership directly or indirectly I
now embraces the vast majority of
lull the individuals of our country.
Action of wide import by such asso
ciations has become an important
force of late in our political, eco
nomic. and social life.
It is true that these associations
exist for varied purposes. Some are I
si l ong in recognition of public re
sponsibility and large in vision. ,
Some are selfish and narrow. 13ut |
they all represent a vast ferment of |
economic striving and change.
Kver since the factory system was
born there has been within it a
struggle to attain more stability

was "pools" 111 production and dis

purpose must be the advancement of
the whole industry or trade, or they'
can not hold together. The inter-1
dependence of all industries and

run to go parallel to the general
economic good. Their leaders rise
in a real democracy without bosses
