Even the gr scorns before the council could act. In the seventh, the council’s advice was accepted by one side but rejected by the other There obvious the Vermont plan might not stand transplanting to other States. One point is that Vermont has only 41,000 persons em- ployed in manufacturing industry. Of these only 16,- 500 members of the unions represented on the council. The small size of the State and the relatively small industries there permit representatives of labor and industry to get better acquainted than is possible elsewhere. This helps explain the virtual unanimity of the council's decisions. But there is one feature of its makeup which is of striking interest: it has never had a representative of the public. The president of the Vermont Federation of Labor believes that the absence of public members is a help to the council. These who remember the career of the War Labor are reasons why are it, a circumstance which hardly end it to the iarmer watching that pest destroy crops over which he has abored.
