In this, as ra many other national problems to-day, wo am faced with a realization that the science of oconomlca luia altered from science of wealth to a science of human relationship! to wealth. We have rone on for many ycara throwing tho greatest of oj;r Ingenuity and ability Into tho Improvement of processes and tools of production. We nave until recently greatly neglected the Human factor that Is so larce an clement In our very productivity. "Tho development of vast repetition in tho process or industry nas ueaaeneu tho sense of craftmanshlp nnd the grea cxtenalon of Industry luia divorced tho eniDlover and tils employee from the con tact that carried reaponsimuty ror tn human problem. Tills neglect of the human factor baa Accumulated much of tho discontent and tinreet throughout our treat Industrial population and In reacxeu in a accrvit&a vi iJiuuut.viun. hi our vorv standards of JJving are depend ent on a maximum productivity tip to the total necessities ot our population.

The nenalty of this disparity of effort comes mainly out of - tne rarmer a own earnings. Dlntt He Cooperation. ' 'I am dally impressed with the fact Uiat thero io but ono way out and tliat Is to again reestablish through organ ized representation that personal co operation between employer and enr- ployee In production that wag a burning fore" when our Industries were smaller of unit nnd of less specialization. Through this tho sense of craftsmanship and the Interest In productlonAan be re created and the proper establishment of conditions of tabor and its participation In a more skilled administration can be worked out. "Tho attituds of refusal to participate In collective bargaining with rcprescn tatlvek of the employees' own choosing Is the negation of this bridge to better relationship. On the other hand, aCom plete sense of obligation to bargains en tered upon la fundamental to the process Itself. I am convinced that the vast majority of American lnhor fundamen tally wishes to cooperate in production and that this basis of good will can be organized andahe vitality of paoductlon recreated. "Many of tho questions of this Indus trial relationship Involvp large engineer ing problems, ns an Instance of which I know of no betler example tban the lssuo you plan for discussion to-morrow in connection with the soft coal Indus try, Broadly, here Is an Industry func tioning badly from an engineering and. consequently, from an economic and human standpoint. Owing to the Inter, nilttency of production, seasonal and local, this Industry has been equipped to a peak load of 5 or 30 per cent over tho average load, It has been provided with a 25 or 30 per cent, larger labor comp'ement than It would requlro If continuous operation could be brougttt about "I hope your discussion will throw some "Tight on the possibilities of rem edy. There lies In this Intcrmlttcncy not only a long train of human misery throush Intermittent employment, but the economic los? to the community of over a hundred thousand worltors who could bo applied io other production and tho cost of coal could be decreased to the consumer.

"Ttieae are but few of the problem that coo front us. But In the formulat ing of measures ef solution we nee4 a constant adherence to national ldeala and our own social philosophy, "In the discussion of these Ideals and this social philosophy we hear much of radicalism and ot reaction. They nre, In fact', not an academic state ot mind, but realize Into real groups and real forces Influencing the solution of eco nomic problems in this community. In their present day practical aspects they, represent, en one hand, roughly, various degrees of exponents of socialism, who would, directly or Indirectly, undermine the principle of private property and personal Initiative, and, on the other id, those exponents who lu -various decrees desire to dominate tho commu- ... j lur pi tuit and privilege. They both represent attempts to Introduce or pre. eervo close privilege, either a moneyed or a bureaucratic aristocracy. We have, however, In American democracy an Ideal. and a facial philosophy that sym pathizes neither wtth radicalism nor re- i action as tbey are .manifested to-day. "For generations iho American people have been steadily developing a social philosophy as part of their own de mocracyand In these Ideals It differs from all other democracies. . Tills phil osophy lias stood this period of test In the fire ot common sense ; it is, In sub stance, that there should be an equality of opportunity an equal chance to every citizen. This view that every In dividual should within hl lifetime i not be handicapped in securing that par ticular niche In the community to which his abilities nnd character entitle' him la Itself the negation of claps.

It la the essence ol UHs democracy that progress of the mass must arise from progress or the Individual.

Chicago, Feb. 17. Chicago's gang world, which has not recovered from tho murder three weeks ago of ".Mossy" Enright, "king of tho gunmen," re ceived two moro shocks to-day. A Grand Jury returned four Indict ments charging murder. In the first de gree In connection with Ilnrlght'a doath, nnd tho State announced It would ask the death penalty In every caw. Two of. thoso Indicted, "Dig Tim" Murphy, former secretary of Itcpresentative aic Dermott nnd me time member of tho Illinois Leclslnf-n. nnd Mlko Carrozzo, are prcsldcM u.' Chicago unions. The second shock came when John O'HrJcn, sentenced to hang Friday for tho murder of Folleeman ltlchard Burke, appealed to Gov, Lowden and tho State Pardons Board to save him and offered to revealed the secrets of iranaland In an effort to provo that he did not tiro tho shot that killed the pa trolman. In his appeal to tho pardons board O'Brien charges lie took tho blamo to save a relative of Enright who prom ised to get O'llrlcn off with not more than a two year sentence. Tho Sheriff was preparing to hang O'Brien Friday In the presence of 300 prisoners as an "object lesson." Tho Governor may grant a reprieve while O'Brien's story Is investigated. in its How one manufacturer stopped a loss of many thousand dollars THE Nujol bottle just wouldn't stay in its carton. T?he heavy bottle, pressing against the bottom flap, forced it open and slipped out. , There was loss by breakage. Moreover, the inconvenience of the defective carton was creating a more serious difficulty. It was" proving an obstacle in merchandising the product; it threatened to cause a dangerous interruption of sales. The carton had been reproduced in news papers and magazines. It had distinct adver tising value. Nevertheless, the manufacturer had almost decided to use a different type of carton when a Gair salesman called. Without making the slightest alteration in the exterior appearance of the carton, we rectified the defect. The ingenious lock ing device illustrated above holds the bottle securely. This is but an illustration of the ingenuity and mechanical skill which the Robert Gair Company applies to the manufacture of:' Folding boxes,. Labels, Shipping cases, Window display advertising.
