PROBLEMS Adjustment of Purposes Re- places Elimination as Solution. os BOTH, SIDES WIN] Arbitration through co-operation was the subject on which Dr. William Leiser- son, of Antioch, spoke in Taylor on ‘Wednesday evening, November 30. Dr.|, Leiserson began by sketching the history of labor’ economics. “Toward the end of the last century, when: students first began to study this question, they spoke of the labor problem. They had the conception of two forces, capital and labor, between which fric- tion developed. Following out this. me-. chanical analogy they thought that if only you could find a single remedy everything would go on well. But: the more they studied the more they saw how complex the situation was and that there are not one, but. many labor prob- lems, There must be a solution for each. The conception’ was now of social ~ evils or abuses. The fallacy ‘of this is that for instance, a strike may be a posi- tive benefit from the point of view of the workman, but from that of the employer it is an abuse. It was soon ‘discovered, too, that each new remedy brings its evils as when Taylor found that working men struck against scientific management, which was to be the perfect panacea.

The recent melodramatic news from Russia was the subject of -Miss Park’s speech in chapel,, Monday, December 5. The celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Soviet Government has coincided curiously with the definite break in the relationship of the two wings of the Soviet party. The anniversary was marked by the summing up of the Soviet experiment throughout Europe, and a great celebration, including both military and civic displays. Besides these two events, the startling statements made by ‘the Russian delegates to the Geneva Conference have made everyone else un- comfortable, as no one had considered going as far as these delegates have. Radicals Gained Power , On the seventh of November, 1917, the first notice was given to the world of the taking over of the government by the ‘Left Wing of the Kerensky party. This party had been in control for some months and the usurping of the power by one part of it was considered tem- porary and worthy of little notice. How- ever, with some trepidation, this party continued to rule for four years. In 1921, seeming to have some solidarity for the first time, it ventured to make a great. change. This change was consid- ered in some quarters as a sign of weak- ness; in others, a sign of strength. Lenin, although. purely communistic in belief, realized that his government co not succeed in a non-communistic world without some sort of compromise. He felt that a change of policy was necessary and that he had enough strength for it. The change was made. It entailed a going-backward from the original communistic plan; private trade was permitted within the state, and was both permitted and protected with other ~ nations; and many government monopo- lies were given up. ‘This change was never approved by Trotsky, and other men of the old party. _ Trotsky a Prisoner | , in 1924, Lenin died, his place by his secretary, a man of his oe: has. been able to ony ‘| dent wishes to consult. traveling exhibits. 2.

THIRTY-FOUR IN RACE FOR CROWN Potential May Queens Parade Before Critical Crowd in Gymnasium. MRS. COLLINS SPEAKS The great college beauty parade toox place in the gym on Tuesday, December 6, when the candidates fox May queen were exhibited in all their/glory..Thirty- four of them, there wefe, all vision of loveliness clad in gowns “long, loose and light.” Statistics compiled at the event may be of interest. Blondes, of course, predominate—not only “gentlemen” pre- fer them, it seems—there were 23 blonde, 10 brunette, and one red, heads. As to classes, 14 of these beauties were Freshmen, 10 were Sophomores, 6 Jun- ors and only 4 Seniors; which goes to “show that wisdom and beauty do not go hand in hand. Naimes for Mailing List. After some preliminary “singing they enter, in-a dazzling mass, to the strains of “God bless them, they need it,” and were grouped on the platform facing the curious crowd. With all this beauty as- sembled at her feet, Mrs. Collins was forced to speak, on the less artistic side of May Day—the financial situation. She urged the co-operation of the student body, in arranging the mailing and pa- troness lists. She then said that at the last May Day, the undergraduates show- ed a remarkable spirit, in spite of the dismal fact of rain. “I hope,” she added, | “that you will show the same spirit, but | I hope to heaven it won’t be from the | same cause.” In choosing the queen, she emphasized the publicity value of that character. “It is by means of her photo- CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 Exhibits in New Museum Placed Chronologically A new museum is being built in Phila- delphia, or rather the Pennsylvania Mu- seum is moving into a new building and assembling its exhibits which, through lack of space, have been scattered. The same building will house others of the city’s’ famous collections. The arrangement of the new museum is on an interesting plan. On the principal exhibition floor will be shown a selec- tion of the finest works of painting and sculpture, which everyone wants to see. They will be found in a series of gal- leries ranged in historic order and ac- companied by the furniture and objects of their time. By following only the main street of the Museum, the visitor will retrace the pageant of European | art from the time of Christ onward to the most vitally modern of contempo- rary work, or, in Asia, from the austere beginnings in India and China down to| the last flowering of ed — art of Japan. For the specialist there is to be ranged on the floor below, the multitude of minor objects in porcelain, glass, metal, textiles, prints and other specimens of which only the finest have been taken for display in the period galferies. Here there will be opportunity to examine, compare and handle any material a stu- There are plans for classes to be held in connection with the schools and for A great deal of all this has already CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 ie Exhibition Series Modern Painters Featured in - Wyndham by Generosity of Mrs. Hinchman. \ Bryn Mawr .is to have exhibits in Wyndham of the work of the modern ‘Lpainters for periods of three weeks. This wonderful good fortune is being made possible by the interest of .Mrs. Russell Hinchman, who is giving a great deal of time to arranging with dealers and_paint- ‘ers for material for the, exhibits. It will be possible to have almost any- one for whom the college expresses a prediliction, since the dealers are anxious to co-operate. At present the exhibition is of Degas and Mary Cassatt. In the ‘succession throughout the year, one group will stay until the next comes. Plans «are being made whereby the painters of the group on exhibit are to bé given teas, where they can talk in- formally about their work. Art Club Welcomes Exhibition The Art Club is naturally very much interested in this project. One of its officers made this statement about how much it means to them: a “Our drawing and painting is enor- mously valuable to us.'as a means of creative expression, but it is almost as necessary for us to have the stimulus of seeing great works of art as it is for the music students to hear good music. Very few of us are able to get to New York and even if we could, we would not be able to make the careful study of the technique and style of different painters which an hibition on the campus af- fords us. “Not only is the student who actually draws to be ‘considered, the value to her is obvious, but there is also the stu- dent who has no abilitysin working with her hands and yet who has a keen ap- preciation of art. In still another group belongs the third class of undergradu- ates, the large body of people who say, “I know what I like when I see it.’ Part’ of the ambition of the Art Club is to interest this type of student in art, and it seems to us that the series of exhibitions of all kinds of painting will do this more effectively than any- thing else could.” f Youth Not Joyous! Solution to Undergraduate Unhappiness Seen in Friendship. Josephine Young, 28, spoke in the chapel service, Sunday, December 4. “There is more unhappiness on a col- lege campus than anywhere else in the world,” said Miss Young, quoting a previous speaker. “This. may be some- what exaggerated, but jn general it is true. The sources of the difficulty are several. In the first place, all college students, on entrance, make an abrupt break with their previous environment. They feel their independence for the first time and are apt to carry it to an extreme. In the second place, the aver- age student enters college at a time when, if she remained home, she would be shouldering some of the responsibility of the home. In college, although it is expected of her, she is all too apt to forget her responsibility. Trials of College Life “The difficulty is that life in, a col- lege, due to the great proximity, is an intense one. A few people fit in well, but the greater number find themselves at first-wholly unqualified as far as gen- eral fitness is concerned. The outside world laughs at this idea of unhappi- ness. It looks upon youth as the joyous element in life. The truth is, however, that youth is very often bewildered and miserable; not all of us, of course, but. a very definite few. “It would be impossible to rid our- selves of this difficulty and unfortunate if we could, for it vs ballast to our lives.

CAREER, BUT BOTH Woman Faces Responsibility to Her Family, to Society, to Herself. DO NOT BE A DOORMAT The problem of marriage and career, a subject much discussed and argued over at present, is nothing but the top of the scale of which the combination of job and home life represents the bottom. Mrs. Gilbreth, speaking on this topic in Rockefeller Hall, Friday, December 2, elaborated this topic, giving illustra- tions from her own home life. “Don’t magnify your troubles,” she said. “Every woman today has a triple responsibility to face—to her family, to society, and to herself. Even the baby of a large family is not exempt from responsibility.” Reconcile Work with Home Life _The difficulty of reéonciling your work with your home life becomés more ap- parent at the school and college age. Some people make a success at this from the beginning; others don’t chiefly be- cause they dislike work. A cheerful philosophy of work is essential to hap- piness in home or job; without it dis- couragement or failure are sure. When various jobs are analyzed they are fougd to depend on many points of likeness: quick motion is as useful to a housekeeper as to a typist; self-control is important in any task. Physical health is always an essential, and there is little excuse today for the lack of it. As to mental ability, tests have been made on children and abnormals showing that a mental age of eight is sufficient to perform all the acts of housekeeping. Therefore would it not be possible to train children in cooking and sewing. before they are eight, and the urge for teaching household skills after collegé could be abandoned? A young girl just engaged is in no mood to learn house- keeping—it is much easier to acquire it earlier. Some women devete themselves to housekeeping because they have the CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 Foreign Students Plan Party of Many Features The foreign students have organized their talents and will perform at an in- formal evening entertainment on Friday evening at 8 o’clock in the Music Wing af Goodhart Hall.

GOOD COLOR’ EFFECTS That there is considerable talent in the Freshman Class was revealed by their show in the gym Saturday night, De- cember 3. ‘ “Sahara Error” was a surprise to those who thought that the short time alloted for preparation might prove an obstacle in the way of achievement. Although the lack of ‘rehearsals, evident through-. out, detracted somewhat from the finish of the whole, it resulted in an air of informality,. and spontaneity, which is the very essence of a “skit.” The first act, in the Palm Room of S. S. Lunatica, was the least good. Not quite bad enough to be a burlesque on ship’s concerts, neither was there variety The scenery and costume committees, how- ever, deserve congratulation for their The pots of withering ivy, in place of palms, was a delightful touch. The characters, some of whom had appeared in the prologue, were all there, but unfortunately had too little’ to do. We regret that we saw so little of Karl, the wonderfully wild © archaeologist. Dining Car “Realistic” The dining car on the African Express defies descriptio. With realistic un- steadiness the passengers lurched in, while the waiter tottered from table to table. All it needed was the smell of cabbage to complete the illusion. No, we take that back—nothing was needed. The third scene was the main one, In it there were four excellent choruses, . whose dances wete the more effective through their simplicity. Their appear- ances were nicely interwoven with the action of the scene. Before the temple the great movie love scene was being shot when it was interrupted by the entry of a sheik and his lady, who were com- petent to teach the actors much about their trade. In a foreign but familiar language these Arabs conversed, the climax, and the clinch, coming after a shout of “Elpis megale.” Then with a cry of “Elpis my golly,” the sheik cap- tured the movie queen, leaving his lady enough to carry it over as it was. work here as elsewhere. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 Democracy a Failure? Bertrand Russell Calls Fail-— ure a Comparative Term. Bertrand Russell, who is speaking in Taylor on Saturday eVening, December 10, on a philosophical subject, has recently given an interview which embodies his ideas on democracy. Is democracy a failure? is one of the subjects he has been debating since he has been in this country. Mr. Russell says: “Failure is a comparative term and, when people say that ‘democracy is a failure,’ presumably they mean that it has not realized all that its ardent adyocates - at one time hoped for—but, when one compares it with any other form of Gov- ernment which has actually been tried, one observes that the two most successful nations in the world—namely, America and Great Britain—are firmly wedded to it; certainly owe a portion of their suc cess to it. “Those who argue for some kind of minority Government always.assume that the minority which will get power will be their own crowd, but it is just as ee eee faction which cut their heads off.

Is it simply an imitative impulse, or is it be- cause she is too lazy to take notes on paper? Perhaps it is in desire for fame because she has heard ‘that copies of Keats and Shelley annotated by contemporaries are of great value. Or, of course, there is the possibility that she thinks her comments _ witty enough to be worth recording. Whatever the reason may be, one can hardly open a library book _ without being annoyed and dis- tracted by its mistreatment. The underlining of certain passages _ bothers the reader who thinks another part more important, while she finds herself uncon- consciously trusting the judgment of the previous marker. As for satirical comments, which consist chiefly of “Ha! Ha!’s” and “O do you think so’s”, their brilliance is either too obscure, or too far above _our feeble mentality. for proper appreciation.

He escaped almost immediately, changed his name and his home, and ‘has lived an honest life from that time. Recently his daughter became engaged to be married. The father, impelled by his con- science, told his prospective son- in-law the story. The latter, duty, reported the matter to the gent interpretation of the law, the case was dropped, the father allowed to go free,the young man reprimanded. Now another case, essentially resembling this, "has arisen. The captain of a rum- runner, safely outside the twelve- mile limit, was told of a lifeboat full of exhausted sailors that. was drifting about, somewhat. nearer shore. Running the very definite risk of capture by the coast guard the captain nevertheless went to the rescue. He was caught. Now he and his men are up for commit ment. We feel that the Judge in this case might profitably follow the example of his colleague.

She began to study the piano at an early age, giving up the study of that instrument when it was disaovered that she had an extraordinary singing voice. The development of her register was put in the hands of Sibella, who coached and taught her on ‘theory that her voice was one of a pecutiar, older type—the Alboni type of voice with its equalized register. Miss Braslau joined the forces of the Metropolitan Opera Company, and one of her most striking appearances was in the title role in Cadman’s ‘Shanewis,’ which she prepared in two days.

Although published’ little more ge a year ago ater The‘ Time of M, of author’s first novel, My es boiler. It is unusual for a novelist to follow up such a distinctive:and Widely- acclaimed’ book’ with an equally good one in'so’short’a time, But Elizabeth Madox Roberts has cértainly done this. ‘ The scene is laid in a small town in Kentucky and thé countryside around it. The heroine, Theodosia Bell, Was a normal childhood and seems to be well- started toward happingss when. 4 series of shocks disturb her existence. First her mother, to whom she was very close, dies. Then,*in going over some family papers, she discovers that her father is also the father of three mulattoes, one of whom is’ half-witted, living in the town. While this is still fresh in her mind, and barely realized, the young man she was going to marry is burned to death. These horrors, together with others entailed by them, drive Theodosia into a delirious fever. ‘She emerges from this with a mind delicately poised between Sanity and insanity. She hears voices, has vivid dreams; all values are distorted for.her so that she all but starves to death before she realizes it. Just in time, it seems, she is saved from madness and death by starvation, and is restored to a normal, increasingly happy life. But even then she occasionally reverts to her old unhappiness. Suddenly the memory, the realization of it almost overcomes her. She is able to blot them out only by the thought of the new love she has found. The story is told with simplicity and sympathy. Although the workings of Theodosia’s mind are given in great de-. feeling. While the beginning of the book is, perhaps,ynot quite as absorbing as The Time of Man, the last part more than makes up for this deficiency. The account of the heroine’s life as a coun- try school teacher, the-folk among whom she lives, their farms and their. beasts, is beautifully told. The last paragraph of the book is evidence of the author’s peaceful, understanding manner, her per- fect command of English: “The leaves of the poplar tree lifted and turned, swayed outward and all quivered together, holding the night cool- ness. The steps returned to the pasture, going unevenly and stopping, going again, restless. They went across the shollow place and came back again ‘diward the rise where the cows lay. They walked among the sleeping cows, but these did not stir for it was a tread they knew.” M, Fi ORG: The Lesser Fauna Come into Their Own. archy and mehitable, by Don Marquis. ley.

F. MCK, Alumnae Keep Interest » See College as a Whole “Few undergraduates realize the im- portant part played by the Alumnae in the college, and the interest they take in it,” said Josephine Young, ’28, speak- ing in chapel on Wednesday morning, November 30. “I think it is difficult for the undergraduate to visualize col- lege as a whole; she sees only her own small section. To the whole, the Alumnae contribute as much as any other group. | “It was not until I attended the Alumnae Council in Richmond two weeks ago that I began to grasp this fact. The Alumnae are intefested in all minor details; they talk about every- thing to do with college, and are deeply concerned that everything should be as good as possible.” ‘ Goodhart Hall Discussed The first day of the conference was taken up by business and discussion of Goodhart Hall, in which the Alumnae are intensely interested, as it is virtually their gift. On the second day reports were made by the District Councillors, on the work that was being done by Bryn Mawr Clubs in all parts of the country. Then came reports from the various committees, Academic, Scholarship, etc. The interest in these reports, and the heat with which they were. discussed, was remarkable. Besides the conference itself, __there were any number of teas, dinners, and lectures planned by the Richmond mem- bers. The conference gave to all a won- derful sense of college as a whole, and of its importance in the country. A Canadian Point of View While bandits are playfilly testing the police force of Chicago with machine- guns, and the carpenters are busily en- gaged in erecting new buildings on the sites were polls were blown up in the recent Chicago elections, Little Willie, the Wonder-Mayor, is hastily supervis- ing the washing of the mouths of Chi- cago school children lest they be filled with words of praise for John Bull and his bulldog. * Meanwhile the rest 6f the world looks on and smiles at the childish antics of Peter Pan, -who refuses to grow up. Life’s comedies céntinue and a new jester never fails to appear on the scene. This time the stage has been set in Chicago. The McGill Debating Society, how- ever, seeing danger where others are but amused, hastily convened the other night and decided to cook Mayor Wiillie’s goose, so that he might have it for Christmas. A special invitation was hur- riedly sent to one of the professors, who never fails to appreciate a good joke, to come and help with the cooking. Before one of the largest gatherings ever present at a meeting of this kind, various prominent personages proceeded to discuss poor, defenseless, Willie. One even went so far as to claitn that Mayor Willie was attempting to usurp the hon- ored position of a great humorist, which was held by the aforementioned profes- sor. _Many and. varied, too, were the arguments brought. forward by the speakers and the discussion waxed warm indeed. One went on to say that Ameri- can bathhouses when first introduced into England aroused much antagonism. ‘While this state of affairs was exist- ing at this far-famed institution of learning, namely, McGill University, nations of the world with his comedy.

Helen’ Lovell Million, vin fellow here at that time, sends this acgount of her memory of him. : a Wilson at, Bryn Mawr The account of Wilson's experiences at Bryn Mawr, as recorded th his letters, | ‘has, of course, interested all who knew him there. , eile some things should be pointed out to the general reader to give a better understantling of the situation. He came “there at the close of a long period of schooling without teaching ex- Papa having never met with women | willy, gree g and in a new institution to start out with only freshmen, set his Fellow and a possible grad- uate student or two. *It was therefore natural that he should ©! find the girls, though’ a brilliant bunch, very immature. But the Fellow? The first year it was Lucy Maynard Salmon, A. B. and A. M. of Michigan, writer of a book and teacher of years of experience. The Fellow the third year, Cora Agnes Ben- neson,*of whom.he complains as diffi- cult to “Dominate,” had A. B., A. M. and LL. B. also from Michigan, and had just returned from two years spent ‘in going around the world and studying the laws and governments of. the coun- tries visited. No wonder she seemed to compare what he said with what she had heard and to weigh it in her mind as she was taught to do. _ The attitude: of Wilson toward the women there was not peculiar to him. |. Most of the professors were having the same experience. They were fresh from years of graduate study and had forgot- ten what freshmen were like, and were assigning to those young girls lessons which no college class of men would have tried to learn, with the result that many of the girls, afraid to disgrace their sex, worked until they broke down. I did not recite to Dr. Wilson as my fellowship was in one of the other de- partments, but I found him very delight- ful to chat with and had no idea he had such a feeling toward the girls in his classes. They probably did not take everything so meekly as he supposed. We were trained not to dispute our teachers and kept some of our thoughts to ourselves. I remember one day he said to me (we were not talking of suffrage, a subject tabooed at that time): “The vote is not a right;- but a privilege.’ I made no reply, but thought, “You say, Dr. ‘Wilson, that the vote is not a right. I suppose you mean it is not a natural right. But, if it be a privilege, there is a moral right and wrong in the bestowal of a privilege and, since the vote is the means whereby we take part in our government, is it right to give this privilege to one class and not to another without clear and sufficient reason?” Afterward I remarked to Miss Benne- son: “What do you think he would have thought Tf I had said this:” She re- plied: “He would probably have thought you a crank.” HELEN LOVELI, MILLION, Fellow in Greek at Bryn Mawr, 1887-88. Radicalism in Virginia West Virginia has earned a place in the hall of fame with Tennessee and Chicago as a third great defender of American ideals. Only now the complete story of Kirby Page exclusion incident has filtes#@d through, and in its entirety it reads like an advertisement offering for sale or trade the University of West Virginia. In Ottober it was suggested that Page, editor of the Wopld Tomor- row, be invited to speak on the Mor- gantown campus. The Religious Work Council, consisting of the studept pastors and Y. M. C. A, and Y. W. C. A. repre- sentatives, decided that. it would be unwise and unsafe to have Mr. Page at the university. The Y. W. C. A., acting: for itself, made arrangements to have the forbidden speaker come anyhow, and he was scheduled for two ‘addresses. At once the military department got into action. From the Reserve Officers’ Association they. had received materials purporting to prove Kirby. Page a dan- gerous radical, and if not an out-and-out Red, at least a very pink-pink.. Besides, Page is a conscientious objector. So the R, O. T. C. took it upon itself to Jegis- late for the university. It had no difficulty in enlisting the: aid Of the D. A: R. and the American Legion. With such prominent citizenry applying the} thumbscrews, President ‘Trotter: suc- ‘cumbed, and. announced to. the Y.. W.|. €;.A.° that the campus was closed to] Mr: Page. + “That wasn't the end. A few faculty | mated tind. pe loud if a.

Two of them invited Mr. Page to come and Speak off the campus. He did, before a fairly- large and interested crowd. “The next day President ‘Trotter de- clared..hims ~ boldly: and frankly, He would bar the ca any speaker toward whom there éxisted organized |, opposition. He was not going ta have any fights on his presidential hands, And that ended the case so far as Mr. Trot- ter is concerned.

The art of living with other people means more than just being fond of them; it is a science that must be carefully developed. » Besides the home there is‘ the “career. Every woman should have a job outside her home. It keeps her interested in outside things, prevents her from. be- coming atrophied. The question of what the career shall be is generally settled after a girl is though college. More and more jobs are opening to her, and professional women are becoming aware of the valué of part-time jobs, which give splendid opportunity to the mar- ried woman. “Tt is important that training—at least | undergraduate training—should be com- pleted before marriage. But I’ would never advise anyone to. miss a chance for a happy marriage in. order to finish college. a ; ‘Don't think, however, when you get married that you must give up every- thing to your husband and your home. Every girl feels the urge to make a doormat of herself, and horrible as that is for her, it is much worse for the man. A doormat is not good for man, woman, or child—particularly child!” Mrs. Gilbreth went ‘on to illustrate from her own life. “I was fortunate in marrying the right. sort of man,” she said. “His mother had brought him’ to think that a woman should be more than a housekeeper. Although I was willing r : }¢ ‘ and help:-him with jt? -As I knew noghing ‘about the subject, he kindly ‘offered to teach? me. Eventually a branch labora-. tory .was established. in the house, and my career did not keep me from having six boys and six girls.” — ae Two kinds of: work can somehow be, related by a common interest.

Dr. Leiserson, not between rich and poor* capitalist aud employee, but between order-givers -and| order-takers. “Tt makes .no difference who owns the plant, the private capitalist,J the® Government, or a soviet, as long as, there are two psychologies, that of man- ager and that of workman—you: have culties. There is no ‘common sense’ of what is right or what wrong. You find most men want to be fair and honest— _ their ideas of what is fai?’ and honest do * not coincide.” Dr. Leisergon illustrates his point by quoting an industrial code ‘which “defiries a fair wage as whatever labor can get in the market, and it is fair for the workman to get the highest the market affords. It is equally fair for the em- ployer to get the ‘lowest.” It seems ob- vious to the latter that he should not pay more ‘than jhis competitors are pay- ing. “But the idéa to the wage-earner who usually has a“family to support—of letting his income vary with the market doesn’t seem fair. Measure that vari- epce in terms of more or less milk for the babies and -you hae the ultimate ef- fect of this system. ‘The older, quieter men with families don’t kick so much and consequently get lower ,wages than the younger men’ who are in a positidA to go on°strike. What Constitutes Fairness? “What is fair in a case like this? Dan- iel is a Ukrainian who was discharged be- cause of incompetency. He was a pocket- ‘maker .and for that you need flexible fingers. : His seemed. as big as my wrist. There was no doubt of the inferior qual- ity of his. work. But he had been on that job two and a half years and at this trade for five in all. He had been brought, into the industry when labor was scarce and for five years his work had :been foisted on the consumer. Now, when. they could get rid of him, they did. His work was inferior, true, but he had filled a place for which the industry itself had trained him in time of stress, and now they were turning him out, “Or in this case? John who had work- ed as a cutter for 20 years was doing poorer and poorer work. He was warn- ed, then fired. He took his lunch fail and went.to unien headquarters all day because ‘it would kill my wife to know I’d lost my job.’ Easy enough to say it isn’t fair to the industry to keep idle and poor workers on.” Arbitration is a device for achieving a combined sense of justice so both par- ties will say “This is right and this is We have our personal ethics about stealing and cheating toward our neighbors, but when the relationship is that of seer and customer, they are often discarded. Trade associations fostered by the De- partment of Commerce, with their codes to which competitors in the same field adhere, do away with unethical prac- tices. These codes provide for an arbitra- tion commission which decides issues on the basis of this code. As the body of decisions is built up, all disputants have to do is to “call up the secretary of the association and say, ‘what is the rule on this case?’ The Stock Exchange is an organization of this type. Last year 50 billion dollars’ Worth of business was transacted there, yet not a sing‘e law suit arose out of all this though there must have been innumerable honest mis- takes. The New York Clearing House, which handled 320 billions. of dollars. or the total wealth of the country, also had none. Labor disputes, are about wage: sca'es, mistakes in pay, dischatges and disci- line. A similar code of ethics should worked out for these. “But this can’t. happen until managers who deal with la- bor recognize the right of labor to have some say in making this code. If you through collec otive bargaining you can in- terpret it in a sensible way. The open shop,.with its many separate and differ- ent contracts, makes the development of a proper code imposs’ble. The open shop is encouraged by those who want to live by their wits and sharp ‘practices and don’t like standardization. By applyihg the standard contract to particular cases you build up a body of decisions, definite |}. ‘principles and rules.” ' Dr. Leiserson discussed ciel open” shop further by saying that the old argument that “everyone has a right to quit and a right to fire,” that these rights are equal | (as the Courts have ruled) “justifies the | line in Tbsen’s Ehemy, of the People “a pet is wren abowt 50.7 Res iteccpuas ~ ra--lie.” er of 50,000 § fire one, man equal: the right of that man to’quit? The proportion, is a 50,000 Q one. To equalize matters the whole ,50,000 would haye to quit. We must realize that wage-earners are a part of the industry—that they have the same right to their. idea of what is fair and. just as the empioyer. dustry. can be attained oifty, through’ co- operative’ arbitration. Dr, Leiserson closed with an illustra- tion of the clash of manager-employee psychology. A. man had been discharged for bad language and disrespect. When asked the facts ofthe case the manager said that he had seen ‘that the man did not appear to be working and he had walked over to him and said, “What the hell are you doing?” The man replied, “What the hell do youthink I am?” “And,” said the manager, “I can’t let any ‘man who works for mg use language like that.” *] Peace in in- THE SOVIET CONTINUED FROM PAGB 1 expelled from the party.
