By DAVID LAWRENCE. Washington Corerspondent of The Argus, Copyright, 1020, Washington, March 22-Capital- meaning thereby | employers generally has won a victory in principle in the re- port just issued 'by President Wilson's second industrial commission, But the viclory is not one of class against class but a recognition of the unwisdom of the policy advocated by Samuel Gompers at the first industrial conference, a policy of Unionization of industry to the exclu- sion of shop organization unless union feed. f __ This was the rock on which the first conference was: wreeked. 'The decision of the Second commission is supported not only by Wm. B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor and formerly an official in the Americau Federation of Labor. but by Herbert Hoover, vice chairman, as .well. as Democrats like Martin H. Glyon, for- mer Governor of New York; former At- torney General Gregory, former Governor I‘lenry C. Stuart of Virginia, and Repub- licans like George W. Wickersham, Os- car Strauss, former sterctary of com- merce and labor in the Roosevelt, cabi« net; former | Governor | Samuel W. Me- Call, (at Massachusetts, Tulins: Rosouwald of Chicago, and Independents like Rich? ard Hooker, editor of the Springfield Re- publican, and others in a unanimous re- port. > Leaders of the two political partics who have been wondering what planks they would write into. their respective Platforms at Sen Francisco, and Chicago will be able to take their stand squarely on the industrial commissions report. It 1g 'by no. means too friendly to labor and therefore cannot be logically condemned by the Republicans who usually have to reckon on the support of business mon generally, mor is it likely to be disap- pilgvpd by the Democrats when men llike William; B, Wilson and President Wil son support the decision. In campaign year when most candi? dates are straddling and trying hard not to offend cither capital or Jabor.ythe in- dustrial veport furnishes the idgnl way Elsi; It is mot partisan jn origin or pur- so. Lacul d* i \ - Perhaps the most significant paragraph in the whole report which telfl..whnt a group of disinterested men. thouglit about the -principle> which wrought so/ much Ravoo 'with the first: industrial confer- erieo is the. following: > \The guiding thought of the confer- relationship, 'That organiza- tion: 'should begin 'within the min? xix:- self, Its object should be to organize diminish ized cooperation between employers and employes the advantages of that humaw relationship that 'existed .between them when industries were smaller. | Such or- ganization should provide for the joint getion of managers and einployes in deal- Ing with their common interests, It should emphasize the responsibility of managers to know men at least as in- timately as they knew materials, and the right and duty of employes to bave, a knowled e of the industry, its procedses and policies, Employes need to under- stand their relations to the joint en- deavor so that they may once more have a creative interest in their work.\ Who foregoing together with the de- trils of the plan proposed not only per- mits shop committees and company unions, but leaves open the question of an open or closed shop to be settled in each factory or plant as circumstances develop. Small wonder that Samuel Gompers denounces the whole thing for the American Federation of Labor is on record in a resolution adopted at its Atlantic City convention condemning whop unfons and all other organizations not nffiliated with or a part of the American Federation of Labor. But while Mr. Gom ally take such an attitude jdo order to hold together the American Federation of Labor and to-keep his own hold on it, the truth is that the plan proposed by the Second Industrial conference does\ not prevent every shop committes or or- gnnizaion in any plant from becoming nfilinted with every other plant organ- ization and thus maintain an industrial or crafts organization. All the advan- tages of union labor are retained though the operations ond power of the walking delegate are .to some extent limited , by the insistence that the troubles be set- tled at the bottom-in the individual plant itself-before outside assistance or counsel is brought in.. But there is .a recognition of the principle that work- men can be represented b ersons of their own choosing-a principle which the employer group was unwilling in the first conference to recognize. But unfortunately there is nowhere in the report any moral punishment out- lined or practical means of compelling employers to recognize the spokesmen of the men even though elaborate methods of choosing these kesmen are indeed provided for in the secret bailot and im- partial election machinery, 'There is nothing to prevent another Judge Gary from saying be will not deal with the spokésmen of the workmen. There is only of course the force of public opin- ion when once the facts are published. The dificalty is partly met by the estab- lishment of regional boards of inquiry which can of their own volition call in representatives of the workmen and em- ployers just as the Senate committee did but even the report of a Senate committee bad relatively little efect in the Steel strike. 'The hope of course is that as the plan is worked ont, the country will get behind it and the regional boards as well as the national industrial board will ac- quire as much prestize as the federal reserve board or perhaps the Subreme Court itself. There is the distinct ad- vantage incidentally of leaving a good desl to the voluntary action of employers and employes but with the mew and vital.provision for full publicity and in- vestigaton by impartial triborals 'The consensus of opinion in m quarters bere is that labor will kare much to gain and very little to lose by accepting the Industria! plan as a start u the right direction.

The bill board came in for its usual amount of Pscussion. An at- tempt will be made to free the West End of its \gaudy\ posters, said to lessen the value of property, and if not sucessaful in' that respect, the association will de- mand that they be placed back in a line with houses. Several of the bill boards extend several feet beyond the building line, and these, regardless of the success of the project, to entirely (“muse of them, will be placed back where they be- long.

SHOULD ACCEPT IRISH REPUBLIC, SAYS SPEAKER Declaring the Trish Republic should be recognized by the United States govern- ment, as It fought during the World War for the principle of freeing small coun- tries, the Rev, William R, Charles, pastor of St. Vincent de Paul's Church, spoke before a large audience in Vincentian In- atitute.

If the Republic is not to be recognized .by the United Staiés,\ sald the Rev, Charles, \then our boys who fought and bled on the other side have done their work In vain. It was for the principle of freeing small countries from tyrannical rule that this country fought, and now It will have failed to recognize the freedom of Ireland.
