The advantages to both employer and em- ploye are obvious. é It is essential to success that fairness and harmony rule upon both sides. QUESTION SENT TO -PRESIDENT NEW PRODUCTION DESPITE GAIN TAKES SLUMP IN WELLS, CLAIM In the local situation the public understands that fair WASHINGTON gy i A (By Assoc iated Press.) wages and fair working conditions have prevailed in the - past, and that harmony and good feeling has heretofore characterized the dealings between the proprietors and the union of culinary:workers. / It is not misrepresenting the facts to say that the union in the first instance demanded far more from the proprie- tors than it expected to receive. Perhaps the ‘‘solid front” put up by the proprietors has been carried farther than was the first intention. In all candor it might be stated that all the trouble resulted from alittle game of bluff indulged in by both sides, with the result that relations became strained’ and ultimately reached the breaking point. . There is no/denying the fact that the public, through’ its constituted representatives, had been deceived’ as to the status of this controversy before the breaking point was reached. High union officials assured business repre- sentatives that there ‘would be no strike,” and acting upon this assurance, took no steps to prevent an open rupture. In its own interest the public is now going to assert itself. It demands that this foolish controversy come to an end at once. In this enlightened day and age, strikes are ’ a needless waste of time, money and energy and are inim- . ical to public welfare. : io The proper and sensible thing to do right now, today, is for both sides to the controversy to e together in a » spirit of fairness and conciliation and settle the matter. Not to come into the conference to rehash the old quarrel, but with the determination of adjustment. Call into the con- ference, if desired, members of the Chamber. of Commerce or other public body, and seek their counsel. They will case under discussion, the temper of the public is ‘in no state (Continued on page 6) whole railroad wage controversy was placed before President Wilson today for the third time since labor filed its demands for a general increase in wages.
