DAWN OF THE “NEW ORDER” Relations Between Employer and Em. ployee, Based on Sound Human Ethics, Replacing Doctrine of Force, 1s the Only Hope, By FRANK COMERFORD, The “New Order” is coming. worid must prepare for it. The peo- ple demand it. Those who oppose any “change” must surrender to the ma- jority. America should be the first country to recognize the need of a “change.” The building of the “New Order” should be done with the heads and by the hands of all classes, Collective bargaining and profit sharing wiil be part of the “New Or- der.” If the business men of America do not co-operate to bring about col- lective bargaining and profit sharing, the people will resort to force. Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the board of directors of the Bethlehem Steel corporation, Is a captain of In- dustry with vision. He Is a forward- looking American. He believes that the basis of big business must be gounded on sound human ethics. The other day he hit the nail on the head when he sald: “What the working men want Is recognition, appreciation and fellow- ship. It is the duty of every business man in the United States to see to it that the largest possible opportunity for employment ig given the greatest number of men. « “Through personal relationships and the ‘tone’ of the business estab- lished on these principles, the rank and file of men will come to know the spirit of the management and there will be no question of the loyalty of the men to the management. “The that I believe in is the one that recog- The to choose their own fellow workmen company and whieh belleves obligation of the companw to {treat these representatives individually and collectively with the confidence and respect to which they are justly en- titled.” in the slaves of business, they made part of it. Political freedom, liberty under the law, are robbed of their work. It is not enough to make a man free before the law, he must be safe and free In his work. is a difference between political free dom and industrial freedom. entitled to both forms of f{reedom. One thought is uppermost and almost universal in the minds of the work- ing men of the world, and that is that agree with them, porting their thought have n positive right to a voice In the management of the business, right must be recognized. men know that until they are given a spokesman and as a consequence will be neglected. It isn't a question only of wages or hours of employ- ment; the matter goes deeper. Men want the pleasure and satisfaction of being part of the business. They have been only part of the business in the sense that they sweat for it and give their lives to It Partnership la the Solution, Labor and Capital should be a part. nership. The two are like the blades of a scissors; separate and apart they are meaningless and valueless, Joined together, functioning harmonionsly, they are useful and necessary to the world. This partnership idea must be put into practice, The product of the partnership must be more fairly di- vided. There Is no gainsaying the fact that distribution has been en- tirely in the hands of the employers, and they have been selfish, and the workers have suffered. As President Masayrik put it to me one day: “Here we have a plle of gold and a few people In possession of it, wasting it to their own injury and to the detri- ment of the world, while over here we have the many living in wretchedness and fear.” Everywhere in Europe 1 found progressive public men and for. ward-looking men of big business ad- mitting that the working man has not bad a square deal. There was a day 'n the world when usury was not considered a social or legal erime. Monny-lenders insisted they had a right to loan thelr money at any rate of interest the horrower wns willing to pay. They Justified taking advantage of the borrower's necessity by arguing it was part of the right of private contract. When some saner minds urged that the state had an Interest, that the public wel fare was affected by the lender exact. ing the last pound of flesh, a great ery went up that the sacred right of private contract was being invaded; that the liberty of man’s relation with man was being violated. Yet the laws against usury came, and they have remained, These laws Insist that a lender shall-be limited In the amount he recelves as interest on his loans. Today everyone concedes the morality, the humanity and the justice of the usury laws, Public Welfare at Stake, Men investing money in business In- jure the public welfare when they profiteer. We call it robbing the con- sumer. How much greater the lar ceny when the excess profits come from the sweat of the producers! Business should be honestly organized. The capital stock of the corporation should repesent money actually In vested, The investors are entitled to a reasonable interest on their invest. ments, to an Insurance against the “rainy day.” They are entitled to set aside a percentage of the earnings to replace the capital invested. After this is done the balance belongs to the workers. Into the business they have put thelr lives; out of the busi. ness they should get more than a liv. ing. - Their lives are lived In thelr work, they have a right to a say In thelr own lives. No one that T have met has the plans and specifications for the “New Order,” but everyone has in mind the general outline, The government, the working men and the employers should co-operate in making the plan, in building the "Tomorrow." A step In the right direction is the industrial conference recently called by the president. In the preliminary statement of this conference, we find much cause for hope. They have pre- | sented a plan looking to the settle- | ment of industrial disputes by arbl- tration, The plan Is tentative in form, the framework for the completed structure. It contemplates the estab- lishment of a national industrial court of nine members, located in Washing ton, with the functions of a court of ap- peals, to determine disputes referred to it. The country is divided into re gions, with regional boards of In- quiry and adjustment, to which may be submitted controversies between employers and employees for settle | ment. The chairmen of these dis putants will have equal representa tion on the board. To Insure confi | dence In the boards the members are | to be picked from panels of employ- | tary of labor, similar to jury panels prepared for the courts. Each side juries must be by unanl | mous vote, For the Justice of Right It Is not compulsory arbitration, Tt i= a plan by which employers and em- plovees may settle their differences on merit rather than by force. It has the strike, In that production will not be stopped, of might will settle questions. This machinery will give pnblie opinion a chance to act intelligently and effec : tively. An interesting paragraph reads: “Whenever an agreement is reached by mination is announced by a regional board of adjustment, or by an umpire, the agreement shall have the full | out.” We are facing the east.

Secret treaties must cease; the new infer nationalism must be a covenant ine | suring the democracy of the world. | America's place is in the vanguard of the movement toward the “New Order.” We are a world power; we | cannot escape our place and our re | sponsibility In the family of nations. | I am sure we do not want to.
