SAFETY VALVE
FOR CAPITAL
AND LABOR
NEW YORK, June 24 (by Associa
ted Press).—Sitting before a pile of
letters from manufacturers all over
the United States, hundreds of them,
all asking him for information as to
the success of the “industrial democ
racy” plan in operation in liis silk
mill in Paterson, N. J„ ]? Edmund
David explained in his office Imre to
day the advantages'of the system and
the difficulties in installing i: in.the
average factory.
“There is no doubt,” said Mr. David
“that the plan, which is bas'd upon
the idea of Constitutional govern
ment, creates a better basis of under
standing between management and
worker than is possible under the old
system.
“It is the means of settling every
question of wages, hours, and working
conditions that may arise and,
through the constant, close personal
contact between employer and em
ploye, facilitates such settlements to
a considerable degree. It tends to the
elimination of wasteful methods and
minimizes friction. It stimulates the
worker’s interest in his work and,
best of . all it puts the human touch
into the relations between employer
and employe, the one thing more es
sential to industrial peace than all
others combined.
“I have never known of an indus
trial subject that appealed to popular
imagination so much as this does.
This idea will spread because every
manufacturer who is alive to the
times is looking for some system that
will ease up a situation that has rap
idly been growing from bad to worse,
the relation between capital and
labor. But let no one think the plan
is easy or that it is onc-sidid. It is
purely a ‘give and take’ and a ‘live
and let live’ idea.
“If a manufacturer goes into’ ft ex
pecting to make it pay ‘financially,’
or if he expects immediate returns he
will be disappointed. Such an atti
tude would foredoom him to failure.
We have discovered that it is a slow
process of education for both sides—
mangers and workers.
“Tact, dipomacy. ingenuity lj»nd a
desire to see absolute justice done are
requisites of the success of ‘democ
racy In industry.’ Prcftlems are con
stantly arising that require gentle
handling, chiefly because of misunder
standing. The system’s gerat value
lies in its aid in clearing away mis
understandings. It virtually uncovers
all of the elemnts that make for pos
sible aissatisracuon ana uius uecomen
a kind of ‘safety valve’ so that, in
stead of workers nursing grudges or
grievances they come to the light to
be remedied or removed.
“It is an expensive undertaking if
one merely regards it from the stand
points of dollars and cents. It means
that the firm adopting it is bound to
pay the top notch wages for that in
dustry It means you must employ a
superintendent of personnel and that
the aspirations and desires of your
workers must receive as constant at
tention as the production of the
production of your plant. Meetings
of workers on the company’s itme,
cost money, too. The workers in my
Paterson mill are now the most con
tended lot I ever had.
“The government of the mill, as
now in operation, Is practically along
the lines of the government of the
United States and rests with three
bodies chosen by the company execu
tive, the foreman and the workers and
known as the cabinet, the senate and
the house of representatives/' con
tinued Mr. David.
“Two strong features of the system
are a very active committee called the
committee on suggestions, appointed
by the house, and a board of appeals.
The latter was formulated under a
resolution which provides that com
plaints and matters of dispute shall
be referred to the hoard of appeals,
composed of the presidents and five
other members of the senate and
house. If the, decision is unsatisfac
tory to either side appeal may be
taken to the cabinet which consists
| of the executive officers of the com
pany.
"Prizes are offered for suggestions
for the betterment of the service or
benefit of the workers or the com
pany and from ten to twenty-five sug
gestions are received weekly. Fifty per
cent of them receive awards. Thus In
dustrial 'democracy Is utilising the
brains of the employe."
Mr| David expressed the hope that.
If It were conclusively proved that the
plan is feasible, its adoption should ho
promoted by congressional or govern
ment recognition.
