Government Conciliation Head
Outlines Work of Depart

Council Table Held to Be Log
ical End of Misunderstand

By Hugh L. Kertin,
(Director United States Conciliation
Service, Department of Labor.)
Editor's Note: Hugh L. Kerwin
is the director of the United States
Conciliation Service, a phase of the
work of the Department of Labor.
His division has officiated in nearly
5,000 industrial disputes brought to
the government for settlement. He
holds that man and manager can be
friends and in complete sympathy if
they will take the trouble to consider
the problems of one another around
the council board.
The question of the relationship
between the employer and employee
is nothing more or less than the
PIUS XI
From Bishop to Pope in about
two years' time is the rise of his
Holiness Pius XI, who was Cardinal
Achille Ratti, Archbishop of Milan.
He was born in Italy, October 12,
1858. He received the Red Hat ai
Cardiral only last year.
question of man's relationship to
man, and as far back as history re
cords the worker and the man for
whom he works have been troubled
in arriving at a solution of this great
est of all economic problems.
In the early days of our Republic,
when industry was in a formative
stage and the population for the
most part located within confines of
what is now but a small portion of
our present domain, labor troubles
were few and far between, the rea
son being that our industrial enter
prises in those days consisted all to
gether of small shops or factories un
der the personal supervision and
management of the owner. On the
other hand mechanics employed at
these establishments were generally
workers skilled in their trade or call
ing and able to perform all or any
part of the work in the building or
whatsoever the plant turned out.
From the tree in the woods on
through the various stages until the
wood in the tree came out through
the doors of the little shop or factory
in the form of a wagon, every man
who had to do with its manufacture
had contributed his part in the mak
ing of every part of the wagon, and
the essential thing the fine spirit
that existed between the employer
and the employee grew out of the
fact that the owner of the plant work
ed side by side with his workers,
knew all of his people, and thereby
contributed that personal touch which
in later years has been lost to Ameri
can industry. As our population in
creased with its increasing demand
for the output from mill and factory,
both for the use of our own people
and for export trade, these industries
grew slowly at first, it is true but
in later years with a rapidity which
made necessary a complete revolu
tion in their conduct and manage
ment. With the American inventive
sjenius continuously at work perfect
ing machines to simplify and increase
the output in all branches of indus
try, there came the specialist the
worker who is now forced, for rea
sons of increased production, to con
fine his labor to making a particular
part of the wagon or other product
of the plant until the finished article
in later years is the combined effort
of scores of workers, each making
the small parts, perhaps in plants sit
uated many miles apart, these units
being brought together and assem
bled into the completed product.
The Personal Touch.
The personal touch which contri
buted towards a fine feeling between
no objections to their workers affil
iating with such unions. All sorts
of conditions are met with in the con
duct, from a managerial standpoint,
of our great business enterprises
many and complex are the agree
ments in existence between the work
ers and the employers. Agreements
in modern industry in America arc
generally for a stated period. Con
tractual relations between employer
and employee are for the most part
religiously lived up to by both the
worker and his employer. The Am
erican working man has developed
into the most efficient worker in the
world, and his daily output on the av
erage exceeds that of the worker of
any other country. The American
manufacturer has developed into the
most wonderful genius in world in
dustry, and surely with this combin
ation it would seem that a commun
ity of interest should obtain that
would make for unbroken and profit
able employment and for peace in
American business.
The Big Problem.
The great problem comes after
production a division of that which
has been produced. There arise dif
ferences of opinion between employ
er and employee; contention as to
wages, hours of employment, griev
ance committees, conditions of labor,
bargaining, and many others. Now
instead of precipitating strikes or
lockouts why not sit down like sensi
ble business men around a council
table and in a spirit of understanding
and good will settle the wage and
other differences on as nearly an
equitable a basis as the industry will
permit. This is the conciliation way
this is the common sense way.
It is conceded that independent ar
bitration commissions, shop commit
tees, adjustment boards and joint
bodies representative of the workers
and management have been valuable
aids in making for peace and indus
try. This can also be said of scores
of plans proposed for bringing closer
together the manager and workers.
But after all is said and done, the
best method so far devised is that of
conciliation. Conciliation in the ad
justment of industrial disputes lays
down no hard and fast rules for the
guidance of the parties to the dis
pute. It meets the situation face to
face, and by advice and suggestions
garnered by the conciliators from
previous experiences and situations
he proves his competency by being
able delicately to meet and handle
esch delicate situation as it arises
during the process of negotiations.

party feels aggrieved. They have
been brough together and have been
advised by an impartial third party
who has no power other than one
suggestive and advisory. They have
taken up one by one the matters in
dispute, they have come to an under
standing and reached an agreement,
and every one connected with this
council table procedure feels that he
has had a part in the agreement be
cause it is based on understanding
and good faith.
Some Statistics.
To prove conclusively that concili
ation is effective, the United States
Department of Labor has since March
1913, through its division of concilia
tion, utilized the good offices of its
commissioners of conciliation in
nearly 4,800 industrial disputes in
volving directly and indircetly over
7,400,000 workers. During that per
iod they have been unable to adjust
but a few more than 400 of the cases
presented. As an outstanding exam
ple of what can be and has fceen ac
complished along the lines of concil
iation in industry by an impartial gov
ernment agency, the copper industry
may be cited:
In 1917 the President's Mediation
Commission and the Deparment of
Labor set up in Arizona machinery to
adjust any dispute that might arise.
A commissioner of conciliation of the
Department of Labor was selected
and named "Administrator" with an
agreement between the owners and
workers to accept his decisions as fin
al in a dispute, and further that
strikes or lockouts were prohibited
during the life of the agreement.
After 4 years we find that since
the creation of this plan only 2 or 3
strikes of minor importance have
been reported, and those were settled
in a very few hours. An unusual
feature of this solution developed af
ter the Armistice, or in February
IS19, when in the face of a tremen
dous surplus of copper on hand and
a restricted market, the employes
without question accepted a decision
which meant a reduction of $1 per
day in "wags and prevented a general
suspension of the industry.
Another Example.
Another case in point is the oil in
dustry of California, which has been
since late in 1917 a brilliant example
of what conciliation can accomplish
for permanent industrial peace,
where nearly 20,000 contented work
ers and many satisfied operators have
had no troubles that were not speed
ily and fairly settled by a "Commis
sioner of Conciliation" accepted by
both interests as the final referee in
all grievances submitted. This official
designated "Federal Oil Adjuster"
has handed down over 300 decisions
some affecting a few and some
many workers and companies, every
decision being cheerfully accepted.
Production was thus augmented
wages for various gradations were
specified, and the classification of la
bor defined, working conditions were
vastly improved and all interests
benefitted in consequence.
In the great packing house indus
try of Chicago and at many outlying
places throughout the United States,
since 1917 no strikes of any grave
concern have been recorded. It is
true a few incipient or sporadic
strikes of little consequence have
occurred which were of short dura
tion. Through the agency created by
the Department of Labor, Judge Al
schuler was selected as the adminis
trator, and he not only has stabilized
the industry, but has maintained
peace and continuous operation and
made it plain to all that there is a
better way of settling disputes and
grievances than striking the plant or
plants involved.
To accomplish this great achieve
ment has entailed upon Judge Al
schuler a tremendous amount of
work on minor grievances, extensive
hearings on general issues but the
net result, steady employment, sta
bilized production and general satis
faction is certainly worth while.
The solution of the industrial pro
blem lies not in carrying on the age
old battle between employer and em
ploye as though they were hostile fac
tions with irreconcilable interests, but
in recognizing the fact that capital
and labor have common interests,
each depending upon the welfare of
the other.
Clean-Up Spray Due.
The clan-up spray of lime-sulphur
should be applied this month or ear
ly in March, choosing days when the
weather is good. This spray will rid
the trees of scale, spider mites, and
aphids, and is especially necessary
for blister mites. On prune, peach,
and apricot trees it is also needed
for the twig miner. Oil sprays may
be substituted for the lime-sulphur
application as a scale spray, but
lime-sulphur 1-8 is to be preferred
for control of blister mite and twig
miner. 0. A. C Experiment station.
