Due to these strikes, he declared, “the P. R. T., in its physi- cal, financial and labor conditions and in its service to the public, was then racoknized as the very worst exam- pie of capitalistically exploited com- panies. thus offering. to my mind, a wonderful opportunity to prove to a certainiy whether the workers could be depended upon to increase produc- tion, with consequent improvement of property, if given the assurance that they wculd be permitted to partiei- pate in the increased profits thereby engenedered.” Urges Plan for Railroads, Postulating that the present “crucial condition in our social. political and industrial life. if not corrected, can lead only to individnal and national disaster.” Mr. Mitten expressed the Delief that the same plan on the ateau raflroads of the country would put their emploves in control of their ock In 10 years. with the same wholesome results for the industry, the workers and the public.

The system was presented as one as necessary for investors of capital as it {s desirable for the employe. since, he declared. all arbitration and other laws have proved of but tem- porary efficacy. The employe, he said. “is not likely 1o stop work when not only stops his payv envelope t his dividend check ‘also. Nor is he likely to increase his own wages bevond the power of the industry to when the inevitable result weuld to reduce his dividend payments or see his own property deteriorate d go 1o smash.” ‘oncentration of capital in the hands of the few. which has gone on since capital and labor were identical during the colonial days of the coun- try.
