’ BRITISH EMPLOYER TELLS HOW TO KEEP PEACE IN INDUSTRY : Good Wages, Reason able Hours, Security for Sickness and Old Age and Interest in Business Urged. Allow employes earnings sufficlent to maintain a reasonable standard of comfort; set reasonable hours for ‘work; provide reasonable economic security during the whole working life and in old age; give them a rea- sonable share in determining condi- tions of work and an interest in the prosperity of the industry—and, if you happen to be an employer, you will be reasonably free from Indus- trial upheavals and disturbances. This is the policy advocated by B. Seebohm Rowntree of York, England, who controls a cocoa and’ chocolate manufacturing business with 7.000 employes, and in whose plant there has been no mentionable strike since And, he said yesterday during an interview, 95 per cent of his men are unionized. econdly. Workers should have sufficient leisure for recreation and self-expression outside the factory, and the working hours should not be so long as to prejudice health. On the other hand, if they are too short it will be impossible to raise the wealth production per worker to the point necessary to enable adequate wages to be paid. “Thirdly. Insurance against unem- ployment should be sought by the worker as a means of economic se- curity Such a system could be worked out and controlled by the state whereby 50 per cent of average earnings would be avallable for aver- age workers in an involuntary state of unemployment, adding 10 per cent for a dependent wife and 5 per cent for each dependent child, with a 76 iper cent average earning as a toial insurance payment. This insurance may either he undertaken by the state, by industries or small groups of factories or by a combination of He Is in_this country to teke a 100K |, at the industrial as well as the eco-| nomic side of things. He was enter- tained informally at luncheon yester- day by Willlam Knowles Cooper, ex- ecutive secretary of the local Y. M. . A There are three ways of maintain- ing definite relations between em- ployer and employe, he said. Instability In Industry. Sickncss comes also under _this Iheading. It probably would be impos- sible for workers to make thelr own arrangements for insurarnce aguinst loss of wages through sickness. There I8, however, a great deal to be said in favor of a naWonal system of insur- ance against sickness. In Britain the benefits are 15 shillings a week for men and 12 shilings a week for women, the contributions being 10 pence for men “Just as the policy of the balance of power between nations makes the world's peace a mere contingency, o the policy of federated capital on the one hand and federated labor on the other, each trying to be so strong that it can dictate its own terms, has resulted in appalling instability in in- dustry. This is one of the chiet causes for unrest in industry,” he said. “To have industrial peace, it is necessary to remove the causes for unrest. You may take a drug and relleve your headache. But it is only temporary relief. The headache will come back when the drug loses its potency. The cause of the ache must be removed, not benumbed. So with industry, the cause of unrest must be removed, not temporarily be- numbed. “The three ways of maintaining re- lations between employer and em- ‘ploye are these: An overwhelming power on the part of the employer. an overwhelming power on the part of the employe and a harmonized relation between employer and em- ploye, each working for the matual benefit of the other. In the first two instances either one or other of the parties is held in virtual subjection Dy fear. Peace is a mere contin- gency. The third proposition makes for permanent industrial peace and is logical. “This latter relation I have sub- of normal ability which, in the case of a man, will enable him to marry, to live in a decent house and to bring up a family of average size in a state of physical efficiency, leaving a mar- gin for contingencies and recreation. A woman should be able to live in accordance with a similar standard of comfort, providing for herself alone. To fulfill this condition will involve a considerable advance in wages in some industries. 20,000 GITIZENS SOUGHT T0 ENROLL Members " of Associations Each Urged by Westlake to ’ Get One New Signature. Each of the 20,000 men and women aMliated with citizens’ associations were called upon today by W. B. ‘Westlake, president of the federation, to enroll one new member before the membership drive closes Monday night. President Westlake designated to- morrow as “duty day,” when every citizen association member will be ex- pected to sign up at least one re- cruit. The North Capitol and -Eckington Citizens’ Association will bring the membership drive to a grandstand finish in its territory with a band concert and mass meeting in front of No. 12 engine house, North Capitol and Quincy place, at 7:30 o'clock this evening. Two Will Speak. ‘William McK. Clayton, in charge of utility problems for the federation. and Thomas J. Donovan, president of the Central Citizens' Association, will speak at the mass meeting on the aims and accomplishments of the citizens’ associations. President Sel- den M. Ely will preside. The meeting has been arranged for by William, E. Wise. The question of whether the District of Columbia should or should not have suffrage is not an issue in the drive for new members, Don H. York, chairman, explained today, when he was advised that many persons were withholding their names because of a misunderstanding that to register would place them on record on the question of self-government. “While practically all of the citizens’ assoclations have taken a stand on the question of local suffrage or na- tional representation during their ex- istence,” said Mr. York, “that iseonly one of a score of problems that the citlzens’ associations handle. “We are asking all Washingtonia to join the assoclations in their re- ipective neighborhoods with a view to taking an active part in discussing and passing upon all local questions.” Interest Is Growing. and 9 pence for women, of which the employer pays 5 pence In each case.

ToM N MY Lt ToMm, I'm Goirt™ To HANE KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS — ONE LONG- Care for Old Age. “One other thing under this heading should not escape attention. That is old age. No system of industry can be considered satisfactory under which & worker who has been reasonably thrifty all his working life finds him- (self, nevertheless, in want in old age. Action either by the state or by indi- Vidual employers should be taken to in- sure against this risk. “Fourthly. Workers everywhere are demanding a greater share in the de- termination of their working condi- tions. Probably this movement has advanced further in Britain than in America, which may partly account for the different attitude adopted to trades unionism in the two countries In RBritain the right of workers collective bargaining is never que: tioned, and a vast number of employ- ers regard it as an advantage that the workers should le organized in trade unions. Beside the universal recognition of trade uaions, employers in Britain are feeling their way to- ward methods of giving the workers in their own factories a greater share in determining their working condi- tions, It is necessary to move cau- tiously so that the efficlency of in- dustry may not be lessened. “Lastly. The final condition of in- dustrial peace is that the workers shall have an interest in the pros- perity of the business in which they are engaged. It is important to be clear as to what is expected to gai1 from the introduction of a system of ! profit-sharing.

Sufferers seeking relief through medical beer may be forced to wait temporarily ror a source of supply, notwithstanding the issuance by the Treasury Department of regulations covering the prescription of malt liquors by physicians, it is indicated by Prohibition Commissioner Haynes. While he had been as yet unable to study the regulations, Mr. Haynes sald he had been informed that ex- perts of the prohibltion unit had raised the question as to whether, un- der the regulations which provide for the manufacture of medical beer un- der permit, the brewers would be per- mitted to dispose of stocks which had been manufactured prior to the pro- mulgation of the new rules, and had not been dealcoholized for beverage purposes. This question, he added, would probably be a matter for con- ference between the prohibition unit and the Treasury. Secretary Mellon, however, has ex- pressed the opinion that large quan- tities of beer which have not been de- alcoholized were available in brewer: warehouses for medicinal purposes.
