' FEAR BIG RISE IN COAL PRICES ! Congressional Probe of Im pending Shortage Is Suggested Washington, Jnly Urging : Congressional investigation of the | coal situation, Government officials ' ami coal operators told the House I Hules Committee yesterday that a fuel shortage was impending.

INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY WILL SOLVE THE LABOR PROBLEM, SAYS OIL HEAD New York, July 18.—Industrial democracy is the question of the present labor problem in America, according to A. C. Bedford, dhait man of the board of directors of the Standard Oil Company of New Jer- scy. , In an interview describing the working out of a plan ofßOVem + in tllC bUinutll u ment inaugurate Uon more ZT •* " American business men able intel \ lg h en their n men there is j nothing to be feared from labor un- | r tr! n B S°' views and activities ; are important lnahl ""\ oyers of la-ll one of the largest so bor in the \ lris met the lution with " mpuny's labor ; Standard Oil oou y. * troubles and laid them equally is illuminating. llan Working Well , "lor more than a year, mils the woiker i £ business ; tain and sure method of making | their voices heard in the manage- ( m ßack' ta h6 llS U u2'' Standard Oil j Company decided to get on a new j basis with its employes —to show ( them convincingly that the inter- . ests of employer and employe weie ?he same, to make them the same. , in fact. Many methods were dis- j cussd and finally the present sys-, tern was evolved. How It Works Out A joint board is set up conslst " ing of a group of workers elected , by their follows by secret ballot, to gether with an equal numbei of representatives of the management. . There is one reprtsentathe to each, 150 workers, and at least two repre sentatives from every important division of the industry. Meeting at regular intervals, this > joint board handles all questions relative to wages, hours ot employ - ment, discharge of unsat -factory' workers, unsanitary conditions in the shops, etc. in case of disagree ment the matter is referred to the board of directors. But in fifteen months no such cases have arisen. One condition which has always irked workmen is that of unjust discharges. This is guarded against, and doubly guarded against under the Standard Oil plan, hirst of all, any man considering himself un- , justly discharged can place his ease before the joint board. But. in ad- j dition. every foreman holding the nower of discharge, has a list of fifteen offenses for which a man may be summarily discharged or; suspended. Beyond that list (which | contains only the gravest of o- , fenscs) h'e cannot go. If the fore- . man desired to discharge a man lor r; other offense than those listed, he must first give him formal warn ing ihat a repetition will bring dis- > m Furthermore, and hero is where the padlock is riveted on the door,, no man can be discharged for any offense, whether of the list or not , until his foreman first has reported : all the facts to the employment de- j partment and a full investigation has been made. The offender may 1 then he transferred to another ue- j partment, suspended, or if the su- , printendent approves, discharged. Mr. Bedford believed that "the ; noise made by those advocating rad- | ical changes in our form of govern- | ment to-day is entirely out of pro- j portion to their numbers and im- j portance." , . i New World Demanded The unrest shaking Europe and, | to a far less degree, felt here in j America, is due, according to Mr. ! Bedford, to the belief that after the r , war we should have a new world. People, he declared, are disappoint- . ed to find the same old everyday J problems confronting them, as be- ; fore the war. As a result, the world ! faces an amazing array of economic i heresies, ranging from the craze for 1 governmental control of all fornis.t of commerce to the Bolsehvist j frenzy which would destroy the world. ~ But, added Mr. Bedford, if em- ; ployers use common sense, intelli- j gence and sympathy with labor, and, : if labor uses common sense and in- | telligence in its dealing with capi- ; tal, the futune of America is safe. 1 "Employers," he declared, "are ! more generally realizing their re- : sponsibtlities toward their employes, j not only in the matter of wages but j also in the conditions under which j they work and live. Big business to- j day is being humanized. The per- i sonal contact which existed when the ! employer knew every one of his men ' by name is being restored." On the other hand, he said, labor must put a good deal Into the pot. It must realize that it is interested in the industry for which it works to a far greater extent than merely drawing its pay check on Saturday. "The worker," said Mr. Bedford, "is a vital part of the industrial or ganization. When lie stalls that or ganization by strikes, malingering or in any fashion, he injures himself just as much as if he were to cut off a hand because he didn't like what it was doing. "What the worker must under stand is that, if he would enjoy per manent peace and prosperity, he must give the employer a square deal. He must see his responsibility to the industry which employs him, to the undertaking in which ho is engaged, and lie must give the best service he is able to give.
