Manly, retiring chair- of the United States war board, first given to the thru the columns of "Manly explains: “These men, the real cap- of industry, with the men the heads of the great or- country.” Manly believes such a con- ference of labor and capital, called by the president of the United States, would end present labor-capital differ- ences, and would make future conflict between the two im- possible. This would pave the way to legitimate, honest prosperity for labor and cap- ital. By the same token it would produce prosperity for all, for the public’s interest and welfare is closely woven into that of labor and capital. The Manly plan has been incorporated in a_ resolution introduced in congress by Sen- ator Poindexter of Washing- ton and Representative Kelly of Pennsylvania. This reso- lution suggests to the presi- dent the advisability of call- ing a conference of labor and capital in Washington. izations of workingmen, h sare Sora workers = princi industries, cou talk brass tacks; what said would be carried out. conclusions they might would carry weight— weight than those of other body of men in the president wish him Putting the Bottom on Top of the strange evolutions, since the war, has been the in the wage of the common laborer. d artisans have received increases, but not nearly ortion to the boosts lower down the wage list. struck us forcibly yesterday in our rambles over the when we noticed this Help Wanted ad on a Seattle board: hwasher, $105 a month, less board.” tside was an ad offering $80 a month and board dishwasher. a dishwasher is at the bottom of the labor list, “gets less than the pantryman, the yard man, the cook. til the war, the dishwasher in the average restaurant a traveling gentleman, who worked washing dishes enough to buy himself a pair of shoes, and a set of then he was on his way. wage ran from $18 to $40 a month with board, and ‘worked from 12 to 18 hours a day.

There is no doubting that fact, and there is no getting away from it. And being partners in in- dustry it is only right that they should get together. Partners in no business can carry on that business unless they DO get together. They must agree upon methods and ways of transacting that business if they are to be successful—if the business is to avoid the rocks of bankruptcy, and the partners steer clear of failure. So partners in business do get together, discuss their com- mon problems, decide upon the basic principles they will be governed by in the conduct of partnership affairs, or as Manly puts it, “talk brass tacks.” Having decided— FIRST, that labor and cap- ital are and must be partners in industry; SECOND, that partners should meet around the table and arrive at‘a partnership solution to industrial prob- lems. THEM TOGETHER! Let us now decide— THIRD—to call that round table gathering of partners in American industries. The Poindexter-Kelly reso- lution provides for such a call. It is your right as an American citizen, represented in con- gress, to demand that your representatives vote for such a measure. You can make this Labor Day the beginning of a new epoch in American life by sitting down in your own home this evening and writing to your congressman, or to the senators from this state (or to all three of them!) a letter something like this: Hon. (name of congressman or senator). The Capitol, Washington, D.
