"Regularity and continuity of em ployment should be sought to the full est extent possible and constitute a responsibility resting alike upon em ploye! s, wage earners, and the public. "The right of workers to organize is as clearly recognized na that ot any other clement or part ot the commu nity. "Industrial harmony and prosperity will be most effectunlly promoted by adequate representation of the parties in interest. "Whenever agreements are made with respect to industrial relations they should be faithfully observed. "Such agreements should contain pro vision for prompt nnd final interpreta tion in the event of controversy regard ing meaning or application. Adjustment of Wages "Wages should be adjusted with the due regnrd to the purchasing power of the wage and to the right of every man to nn opportunity to earn n living at fair wages, to reasonable hours of work and working conditions, to a decent home, and to the enjoyment of proper social conditions. "Fixing of a basic day as a device for increasing compensation is a sub terfuge that should be condemned. "Efficient production in conjunction with adequate wages is essential to suc cessful industry. "Consideration of reduction in wages should not be reached until possibility ot reduction of costs in all other direc tions has been exhausted. "Administration ot employment and management of labor should bo recog nized ns a distinct and important unc tion of management and accorded its proper responsibility in administrative organisation. "A system of national employment still omces, wuu one provision lor co-operation with existing state and munici pal sjstems, tan be made, tinder effi cient management, and if conducted with due regard to the equal interests of cinployeis nnd employes in its proper administration, a most helpful agency, but only if all appointments are made strictly subject to the civil service law and rules." jHiiiig, unit iipii iru nn inc wuoie or0Hr, , (;rori.
