Atlantic Cltj. N. '., Oct. 7. All
etlirr factors In tlip industrial crista
now confronting the nntion jmlc Into
lnslptnlflcnnco eompnrci! to ttint of
labor, T. I. Pardee, president of the
American Klrctrlc Hallway Associa
tion, told 3000 trolley managers here
this morning.
These are somo of the strong points
In his frank review of labora place In
the American industrial problems:
"The entire problem of so-called low
fares is largely n problem cf increas
ing the efficiency of labor.
''The return that capital shall re
reive does not primarily enter Into the
proposition at all.
"Kxcesslvc wages are a tax upon
fares. Inefficient labor is similarly a
tax.
'Tn this adjustment of wages the,
public Is represented by electric rail
ways management.
Public Always Pays
"It Is the public that pajs, cither
through increased fares or decreased
service.
"Some way and bomehow, standards
must be created by which wage scales
may be formulated nnd the amount and
character of the services to be ren
dered definitely determined.
"Collective bargaining argues n
monopoly.
"Strikes are, in fact, directed against
the public.
"These are facts too little realized
by the people.
"The unfavorable conditions which,
for some time before 1010, created what
we all know ns the electric railway
problem have been rendered so acute
liv the war that not only is the .$0,
000,000,000 investment in electric rall
wnvsi iennardizfd. but even the contin
uance of the service we nre rendering Is
in doubt," President Pardee nsserted.
"The question ns to the continued
life of the electric railway industry is,
In the first instance, a question of cost,
whether the price of the product which
we nre, producing can be brought into
such relation to its, cost as will en
able us to furnish the service which
the needs of the public require nnd to
.attract into our business the capital
necessary for the rendition of this service.
No Government Control
, "Investment in publicity utility en
terprises is not nnd cRunot be controlled
by government. Those who possess sav
ings which nre capital nre free agents
as to the disposition of these savings
and they will invest them only in those
enterprises where a fair return isin
prospect and where the safety, of in
vestment is assured.
"It is, therefore, not possible to nb
norb the Immense increases in the cost
of operation by reducing the share that
capital receives from the earnings of
the enterprises nnd, in consequence,
these increased costs must be borne
either by the users of the service through
"an increase of fares, by a reduction in
the cost df operation, or by the tax
payers, through subsidies, or by nil
three. As a practical matter, how
ever, under present government super
vision, it Is the public that pays, either
through increased fares or decreased
service, so that the question of wnges
la n matter between the wage-earner
and the car rider. I
"Excessive wages nre n tax upon the
fares, inefficient labor is similarly n
tnx, and the adjustment of wnges is a
matter which vitally concerns those who
Use street railway service.
"The war has ended nnd the ac
tivities of the war labor board have
ceased, bnt the methods of fixing wages
through arbitration and by the awards
of some tribunal has been so firmly
planted that, unless conditions vnstly
change, It is this method that will be
pursued for a number of years to come.
As practical' men, wo must accept, for
the time being nt least, the system which
lias thus come into being, and our ef
forts should be directed toward per
fecting this machinery so that substan
tial justice may follow, not onlv for the
" wage worker, but for the public, which
pays the wages and the representatives
of which wc nre.
Labor Mutt Be Responsible
"Collective bargaining is the basis of
tho method of wage adjustment under
which wc are now working, nnd collec
tive bargaining argues . monopoly. The
law of supply and demand is abrogated
and the law of competition as a regu
lator of prices Is set nsidc Regulated
monopolies arc vin many instances de
sirable. The business of locnl trans
portation, for instance, should, in the
Interest of the entire, people, bo a regu
lated monopoly, but an unregulated
monopoly is nbhorent nlike to economic
SJaw and to the system of government
binder which ve in the United States
are living. Arbitration between one
responsible party nnd one irresponsible
party has never and can never be pro
ductive of permanent good or for long
serve to settle disputed questions.
"If labor is to enter into on agree
ment as to its wages, then labor must
assume responsibility for the carrying
out of the agreements. If labor is to
be allowed the privileges of collective
bargaining for its services', then the
agencies through which this collective
bargaining is done must be endowed
wfth some corporate pcrsonability which
can be held to account for the main
tenance of its agreements aud the carry
ng out of tho wards made by the tri
bunals to which it submits its claims
for adjudication. If the privilege of
collective bargaining be granted to labor
ty tho public, steps must bo taken to
prevent that privilege from being con
verted into a bludgeon with which to
coerce the public Into compliance with
extortlonnto demands. Strikes upon
regulated public utilities arc not di
rected against capital to secure a (air
share of tho profits of the Industry r
they are, In fact, directed against tho
t , -public. They are, when proper means

Detroit, Mich., Oct. T.1'hUndcl- 1
phia will raise an objection to music
in the church hymnal before the foily-
fourth triennial genernl convention of i
the Protestant Episcopal Church, '
which opens here tomorrow.
Tho delegation, consisting of four
clergymen, four laymen, llishop Philip
M. Ilhinelnnder nnd Suffragan llishop
Thomas .T. Garland, has been instructed
by the Pennsylvania diocese convention
to urge the return to the old form ,
of hymn book.
The new hymnal,' with music, has
been in use in most of the churches not
more than six months, nnd it has al-
ready given dissatisfaction because of
Its bulk, the Phllndelphlnns here say.
Feeling in Pennsjhuniu is thnt the old
hymn book, small in size nnd with the
music only In the hands of the organist
and choir nud in the memory of the
congregation, should be revived. With
the nrrlval here today of llishop (Jar-
land and Bishop Rhinelniidcr the Phil-
udclpma representation will he com- sjz

OF ADDRESSES
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
You are looking for ideas to make your
business grow. Why not try Forgan'a
or Burke's or Andrews' ideas?
Not exactly as they are, perhaps;
but by adapting and modifying them,
adding your own experience, you may
get new ideas, far better than one man
alone could possibly conceive.
Forgan, Burke, Andrews and 138
other men have pooled their successful
experiences in October SYSTEM. Why
guess or experiment in your problems of
sales, finance, costs, labor unrest, per
sonal efficiency? Simply add to your own
ideas the proved ideas of other men.
Here is a mere hint of the ideas, plans,
methods you get in October SYSTEM:
His Customers
Prefer to Pay Cash
A BUSINESS man shouldn't be
obliged to finance his custo
mers," says Frank Burke, of Burke
and Wright. In October SYSTEM
he tells of the simple plan that made
his customers liko to pay cash.
Only 14 of his sales are now on
credit as against 56 formerly
and his net profits have increased
10. Read this practical plan for
meeting today's higher costs.
Why Their Loyalty
Stood the Test
THE crisis came the plant was
flooded. But the workers pitched
in as a body. Day and night, at
enormous personal sacrifice, they
"kept the business going." A
welcome contrast was this un
usual loyalty of the employees
of the O. B. Andrews Company,
as compared with the prevalent
"don't care" attitude of labor.
In October SYSTEM Mr.
Andrews describes a manage
ment plan, which should be an
asset to any other business that
adopts it.
$10,000 Files
'THREE years ato a new filing
method was adopted by a New
York -jank. Since then not a
single paper has been misplaced or
lost I Sounds almost unbelievable,
doesn't it, when we look back at
our own vexing delays and losses?
Thousands of dollars have been
saved by the concerns, large and
small, whose filing methods are
freely discussed on page 636 of
October SYSTEM.
The Art of Saying "No"
AN employee has a suggestion you
can't use a salesman has a
splendid proposition you cannot
accept a friend has a request you
cannot grant a customer makes
you an offer that it breaks your heart
to turn down, yet "No" is the
only answer. Just how to say this
big little word without causing re
sentment is tild by Lyman Anson
in October SYSTEM.
At All Newsstands 25c
If your dealer has already told his supply, ask him to order
copy for you, or write direct to the publishers A. W. Shaw
Company at either Wabash Ave. and Madison St., Chicago,
or 299 Madison Ave., New York, and ask to receive SYSTEM
regularly. It will be billed you at 25c a copy, or $3 for a rear.
Why Men Strike!
fJIGH time to look back into the
causes of all the troublesome
labor difficulties we face these days.
Plenty of opinions going the rounds;
but here is a remarkable analyst
of why men strike. Samuel Crow
ther has probabl. talked with i
many employers and workers as any
authority in th country. After
reading his article in October SYS
TEM J. Ogden Armour said: "h
has stated the basis of the situation."
Doctor "Health" on
Your Payroll
QAN sickness in your organization
be lessened? The Retail Credit
Company, of Atlanta, is not tak
ing chances with the trouble-,
some interruptions to work that
so many business concerns face
as winterapproach.es. Doing the
unusual in the treatment of
employees has saved 67 of
their past salary loss. Read
about it in October SYSTEM.
"That Fellow Could
Never Sell Me"
AATHY do you or your salesmen
fall short? Who can answer
better than a purchasing agent?
A man in a nationally-known con
cern who interviews scores of sales
men daily has been persuaded to tell
of the easily-corrected faults that
cripple many an otherwise effective
sales appeal. A rare chance to see
yourself as the other man sees you
in October SYSTEM.
"Keep One Step Ahead"
says Forgan
CUCCESS, to James B. Forgan;
Chairman, First National Bank
of Chicago, is built on some very
definite business rules. From a
mere clerkship he rose to one of th
highest financial positions In ths
country. Many another executive
has applied his same policies
keeping a notch ahead of the other
fellow which indicates how very
useful Mr. Forgan's three simple
rules may become in any man's busi
ness career. Read what he says in
October SYSTEM.
