WORTH ABOUT ‘‘Today’s union member en joys a high standard of living. To protect his high standard of living, it is in his best inter est to maintain a high level of productivity to ensure that the business which employs him remains viable and progress ing. With this common link, a powerful unifying force, labor and management can join in a drive for common goals. If the union movement can structure its objectives to this end, I am confident that the polarization of management and labor can be substantially reduced. I am equally convinced that the re form of our labor laws can ex pedite this transition to this universally beneficial purpose and improve the present per spective that business has of the role of labor in society.” —Daniel Parker, Chairman The Parker Pen Company * * * Only three Presidents have come directly from Congress, reports World Book Encyclope dia.
