President Rhett warned the business world a hevikism in America and revolution, Industrial unrest, declared, must be reckoned with and adjusted, if indus and commerce are to go on under private initiation and leadership, and he added these pointed words: “WHAT IS NOT FOR THE COMMON GOOD IS FOR THE GOOD OF BUSINESS. When we have learned that lesson, suspicion between employer and ‘employe will disappear, conflict between capital and Tabor will cease, thoughts of coercion will change to ‘co-operation, the spirit of greed will be transformed service.’ In the exigency of war, as never before, are men, American men, putting their differences and into the crucible. Into this crucible is going the of suspicion, conflict, coercion and inordinate greed, nd when from beneath it are drawn the hot fires of com nm sacrifice and common pafriotism, we shall have the 0 AND SERVICE FOR THE COMMON GOOD.
