The industrial conference in session 0
In Washington lias formulated a tentative
agreement on "collective bar- vv
Saining." This is a comparative new
issue that has arisen between employ- t]
er and employe in recent months, and (>
is perhaps little understood by the
general public. As The News under-'
i''
Stands it. it is the right of a union to j ^
make demands upon the employerI
through a 'representative,*' and perhaps
this last word is the bone of con
tention. A union, or any body ofi
employes, whether union or not, in all
fairness, should have the unbridled
right to negotiate with the employer <
in regard to wages, working condi .
tlons and other matters, in which the ^
employer and employe are interested. <
But the "representative." who i- t > appear
before the employer should be i
one it tlie employes, delegated bv a
!
vote of the other employee for the! <
purpose of representing them in a .
proposed meeting with the employer.I a
Recent trouble with workmen in sev- <
oral widely separated sections of the'J
country has been traced to the intiu-ja
ence of "representatives" from thoi^
outside who come in and tell the men 4
<
how badly they are being treated by 4
their employers, niist them In a 4
"union" at so much per head, and 4
then tell them to strike. 4
The tentative agreement reached i ^
toy the conference is a compromise be-j 44
tween the groups representing labor, ?
capital and the public, and substitutes <
for the sentence of the original declaration
of the public and labor;
group:- iis ;i basis and adding t<> the a
sen tenc recognizing tho right of wage
eano rs to organize "in trade and labor
unions'" the words "shop and other
industrial associations." The proposed
compromise also substitutes for
the sentence of the original declaration
recognizing the right of organized
labor to lie represented "by representatives
of their own choosing," lite
words being, "by representatives chosen
by a majority of their members."
The committee worked over this teni
tative agreement for eight hours and
the discussion hinged almost entirely
on the right of "outsiders" to represent
employes in 11 gotiations with employers.
i
Ktnj loyer doubtless would prefer
negotiation with representatives of
the r employes to meeting the wh >lc
l?ody of workmen, particularly where
thorn .. I 1
.i i.11 iiii r 111 i lie imier.
i'.ut the average employer would i?e
slow to negotiate with a "representative"
who came from some other part'
of the country and whose chief aim
is not the advancement of the interests
of the workmen hut liis own personal
advancement.
There would seem to The News no
good reason why collective bargain
"
1 n9r should not be permitted, provided
the employes selert from among tlioir
own number the representatives to
confer w ith the employer. Such rep-1
resentative eould speak for himself
and his fellow-workmen in a way to
gain not only a hearing with the employer
but to gain the respect of the'
employer. This is no more to the in
terest of the employer than to the employe.

"The demand for raw cotton, al- M

Rehabilitation of industries, increased B
