Second St CARLISLE, 23 W. MAIN ST. 'ti —/ THURSDAY 1 EVENING, HABRISBtmo trfUßa TEEEGrocpg JUNE s,">7rr NEW SYSTEM FOR PA. SILK MILLS B. E. David to Extend His Plan For Improving Management New York. June 6.—Manufac turers and union labor leaders all over the United States are said to be watching with interest and sym pathy the experiment in industrial democracy which is now being con ducted in five cities—Fdrt t\'ayne, Ind., Shelton, Conn., Cleveland, 0., Paterson, N. J., and Brooklyn, N. Y„ and whicfi it is believed by some of them, will scotch if it does not i prevent Bolshevism in industrial centers where it is put Into effect. The originator of the plan, John Leitch, an efflciensy engineer, start ed it among 300 employes of a Fort Wayne piano factory. Its basis was the Constitution of the United States. The factory was adminis tered by a Senate, a House of Rep resentatives and a cabinet corre sponding to the aids and advisors of the President. Its success is said to have been immediate and perma nent. Tale University, the National Council of Defense and the Na tional Association of Manufacturers . are said to be a few of the bodies j that are Investigating the merits of the plan. B. Edmund David, head of a silk manufacturing corporation in Pater son, N. J., who was instrumental in introducing the system in his fac tory in that city about a year ago, expressed to-day the, keenest satis faction at the results attained and said he hoped, ultimately, to estab lish similar working conditions in four other of his mills in York, Reading. Scranton and Beavertown, Pa The Paterson manufacturer, however, said the new system should not be considered a "pana cea" or adaptable to all kinds and sizes of industrial establishments. "Its outstanding feature." said Mr. David, "is the ungrudging rec ognition. on the part of the employ er. of the worker's right to a voice in the determination of matters which are of vital interest to him. which lends the additional dignity to his position which self-government invariable carries with it." "Industrial democracy or. consti tutionalism in Industry," he said, "was first explained to the work ers. A broad and fundamental set of rules adopted which was to guide management and workers. The four cornerstones of this business edifice were Justice, co-operation, economy and emergency. Its capstone was service. This policy, as the supreme law of the establishment, has never failed to suggest a solution when troublesome questions arise." In proof of the system's practica bility Mr. David pointed out that last winter, when almost every other silk mill in Paterson, was closed as the result of a strike, the David mill was not affected but maintained full production and kas kept in con tinuous operation as by members of one contented and harmonious family.

It's the same one, I'll bet two red strawberries," a member remarked to John Newton, 2416 Market <.reet. Chief Wimpus of Uie order. "It certainly looks like it," New ton said. "We must be sure, how ever, before we tell the other peo ple. because them there contractors might give us the laugh. But if it is the same shovel, you can just bet we are going to find out how It got here." The members strolled around the block, hunted up a few other Sons in the vicinity and soon had a fair sized crowd looking the shovel over. "It must be the tame one," Ed mund James, of Camp Hill, another 'noted member, declared. "We didn't see them take the one away from the Penn-Harris cellar. Nobody else did either. That there steam shovel just dug a big hole the whole way from that there hotel fo this place and came up to the surface. That's all there is to it." An argument that almost ended In the disorganization of the order followed, and the debate was con tinued until to-day. The illustrious members could not settle It however. because they are still figuring how long it would take a steam shovel to burrow Third and Walnut to Front and Boas streets. Many of the members of the order hailed the reorganization with de light and they are talking now of sending a committee to see the park department officials about removing some of the benches to a concen trated spot in the park opposite the apartment site, so that they can sit in the shade and watch the shovel at work.
