With labor organizations mustering governmental support, if not of- ficial status, the leaders of industry apparently are coming to the conclusion that it is better to treat with their workers than to fight them. This has not always been the case and it is interesting to ex- amine the reasons why. One of the factors has been the historic right of a man to control his own property without interference. Many great en- terprises have been built by men who were dominant by na- ture. The reason for their success was their ability to over- come obstacles. They brooked no interference. Under the old order they were minor industrial czars and they liked that dis- tinction. They ran their own business and on the whole they ran them well. Until their businesses grew so big that it was hu- manly impossible they knew their employes personally, they treated their help as human beings. Many a man with the repu- tation of being ruthless in business also had the reputation of be- ing a good employer, especially with those of his employes with whom he came in contact personally. But when employes’ groups grew large many men came to be known only as cogs in a machine, to be treated as other ma- chinery. This, coupled with retention of the dominant attitude by owners and diminution of opportunities for men to launch out into private business for themselves, did much to bring labor unions into being. The most important economic thing many men had was a job and they organized to fight for it. Recently industry has entered a new phase. Industrial or- ganizations have grown still bigger and the management has changed from that of the owner to that of employes selected for their jobs by the stockholders, Ownership, meanwhile, has been transferred, in many cases, to thousands of people. For exam- ple, such corporations as General Motors and United States Steel have stockholder lists running toward or beyond half a Million each. Thus the public has become a dominant force in the man- agement of industry. It is true that the owner of one share of in the ofifcial listing of villages.

Members of boards of Girectors and their managers attune their ears to it. And the voice of the American investor today is lifted in behalf of industrial peace and an all-around square deal. He looks toward a better America and wants anything in which he is interested to contribute its share. He also wants to continue to draw dividends. Management wants to continue-to make dividends. Its very life depends on it, just as much as the worker's life depends on his job. A private owner could choose to lose monéy in fight- ng out a labor or a competitive battle. When corporate man- agement does s0 it is liable to get the axe after missing a divi- dend or two, particularly if the matter is in the public eye and the policy of the corporation has been made a public issue. Along with these changes in corporate affairs came some- thing gf a revision in the attitude of the average worker. As education became widespread more and more workers came to realize the fundamental truth that their welfare is inextricably bound up with their employer’s welfare. When business gets bad generally, or the employer is unable to meet competition, wages fall as capital earnings decline and the number of jobs ‘ becomes less. The employer is the golden goose who lays the payroll egg and labor knows it. agitator and the labor racketeer who, for their own selfish ends, inflame the minds of workers, emphasizing their grievances and touching lightly upon their blessings. They, too often, have ~ had a loud voice in the affairs of honest workmen. - The result has been to make employers afraid to deal with their men while the latter accepted such leadership. They were ‘afraid that, given an inch, labor leaders would demand. a |: tile. They remembered the fable of the camel which stuck its nose into the Arab’s tent. This made them adamant. | Now government has entered the field, to exercise influ- ence upon labor as well as upon the employer. It is beginning, partly of its own inclination and party as the representative of tke public interest, to act as umpire in industrial disputes. It 8.

All that remains to be done to put this now-developing sys- tem upon a sound and workable basis is to improve the char- acter of labor organizations and of labor leadership by making them definitely responsible for their own acts. In the past they have had privileges but no responsibilities which they could ~ be forced to accept. If labor is to grow up it must accept the responsibilities ‘which go with power, as labor has done in England. _ When and if labor does that, it will be much less difficult for it to establish sound working arrangements with manage- mept. A move in that direction certainly is forecast by recent developments in the steel industry. : fe Can They Be Blamed? , The fact that Great Britain is about to launch a $7,500,- 000,000 national defense program can hardly be listed with the cheerful news items of the day.
