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-

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

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

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

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,

machinery will give pnblie opinion a
chance to act intelligently and effec :
tively. An interesting paragraph reads:
“Whenever an agreement is reached by

board of adjustment, or by an umpire,
the agreement shall have the full |

We are facing the east. The new

To avold entangling alliances it Is |

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. Onur |
