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 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."

In the disorganization of the order

members could not settle It however.

long it would take a steam shovel
to burrow Third and Walnut

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.
