INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY PLAN 18 DENOUNCED. In 1918 the American Federation of Labor officially reaffirmed this prin- clple: “We are each day building labor's hheuse of to-morrow, If that structure ig to endure tne tests, 1 must be founded upon bed reck principles of equity and democracy in relations be- | tween men.” At Atlantic City two weeks ago the American Federation of Labor con- #vention denounced the plan of indus- trial democracy which has been put im motion in the United States through its introduction into the jants of the Colorado Fuel and Iron fompany, the United States Steel Corporation, the Standard Oll Com * pany of New Jersey, the Internation- al Harvester Company, the Sewel: Clapp Company, the Lrving-Pitt Man- ufacturing Company, the Packard Piano Company, and other industrial enterprises. These questions arise: t “What constitutes industrial de- shocracy from the standpoint of President Wilson, the American Fed- ‘eration of Labor and the authors of League of Nations covenant’ “Wherein does their formula diffor fhom the plan as introduced into the American plants mentione!?”"” Bamue!l Gompers, President of” t American Federation of Labor, made this explanation: rhe fundamental difference 1s pre the plan of the American em- r termining quegtions of life and work. | SOME RIGHTS TO WHICH WORK- MEN ARE ENTITLED. | “Every worker has @ full right to] mile run.
