Legislation can go only a very little way in commanding what shall be done. The organization of industry is a matter of corporate and individual initiative and of practical business arrangement, Those who veally desire a new relationship be- tween capital and labor can readily find a way to bringitabout: and per- haps federal legislation can help more than state legislation can. Democratic Industry. The object of all reform in this os- sential matter must be genuine demo- tization of industry, based on a full recognitizion of the right of those who work, in whatever rank, to participate in some organic way in every decision which directly affect the part they are to play in industry. Some positive legislation is practica- ble. The congress has already shown the way to one reform which should be world wide, by establishing the cight hour day as the standard day in every field of labor over which it can exercisc control. Tt has sought to find the way to prevent child labor and will, I hope and believe, present- Iy find it. It has served the whole country by leading the way in devel- oping the means of preserving and safeguarding life and health in dan- serous industries. [t can now help in the difficult task of giving o new form and spirit to industrial organization by co-ordinating the several agencies of concilintion and adjustment which have been brought into existence by = of the present management of indus- try and by setting up and developing new federal agencies of advice and information which may serve as i clearing house for the hest experi- ments and the best thought on these great matters, upon which every thinking man must be aware that the future development of society directly depends. Agencies of international counsel and suggestion are presently being created in connection with the league of nations in this very field but it is national action and the enlighten- cd policy of individuals, corporations and societies within each nation that must bring ahout the actual refornis of the committecs on la- bor in the two houses will hardly need suggestions from me as to what they ment the agent of the whole nation in pointing out and. if need be, guiding the process of reorganization and re- form, “T am sure that it is not necessary for me to remind you there is one im- mediate and very practical question of labor that we should meet in the most liberal spirit We must see to it that our returning soldiers are assisted In every practicable way to find the places for which they are fitted in the daily work of the country. This can be done by delegating and maintain- ing on an adequate scale the admir- able orzanization created by the de- partment of labor for placing men secking work: and it can also be done in at least one very great ficld by cre- ating new opportunities for individual enterprise. The secretary of the in- terior has pointed out the way by which returning soldicrs may he help- ed to find and take up land in the hitherto undeveloped regions of the country which the federal government has already prepared or can readily prepore for cultivation and also on many of the cut-over or neglected arcas which lie within the limits of the older states: and T once more take the liberty of recommending very urgently that his plans shall reccive the immediate and substantial suppoit of the congress Great Future Pr sents Ttself. “Peculiar and very imulating conditions await our commerce and indastrial enterprise in the immediate future.
