The ame treatment that makes a con- ented soldier will probably make a contented workman. The kindly, hu- ‘mane, just and liberal treatment that American soldiers are accorded makes collective insubordination impossible. From the employer's standpoint, work- men's strikes may be termed collec- tive insubordination. Could they not tbe averted by borrowing a leaf from {the army code? “When a man becomes a soldier he ts made to feel that he ts a vital part off the army organization, not merely i Human target to be shot and for- jgotten. His officers, from the lowest} Yo the highest rank, show him that they are interested in his health, his comfort, his happiness and his wel- fare, and that they realize he did ‘not east aside his manhood, his self re- ‘spect, his freedom of thought with his fivilian clothing. On the contrary, Whose virtues are assiduously encour- | ‘aged. The more a soldier is made to teal like a man the more like a man ‘will bo fight.” “Do they take kindly to the manual ¢ and often mental tasks incident to battle preparations?’ Gen. O'ityan was asked. _ “Occasionally a grumbler ts discov- ea." he replied; “but the soldiers ave a way of covering them with ridicule which usually relieves the of- | ficers of the necessity of applying dis- ciplinary measures. The chap who develops a chronic grouch can be made more miserable by his comrades than a sentence to the guardhouse or kitchen police duty can make him." “Many industrial labor students Attribute labor troubles to unpicas- fant shop conditions and overbearing foremen,” the General was informed. “Thoss evils could and should be gorrected—they should never have ome into existence,” he said. “There should be no unpleasant shop condi- tions except those which are un- avoidable because of the nature of the work. That is an inviolable rule in the army. Everything that human thought can devise to make condi- tions surrounding the soldiers pleas- (ant is utilised. The soldiers know “this to be a fact and they cheerfully put up with hardships and discom- “forts which cannot be remedied, If civilian employers should try to humor their workmen's just demands in this respect 4s conscientiously as is done by the best officers in the army, they would find their em- ployees meeting them half way. “As to the overbearing, petty tyrant foreman, the workman should be protected against him above all ss.
