At 3:30 o'Clock
The Public la Cordially Invited To Attend.
Good Result Of
Reforms Is Open
Shop' Discussion
Conditions Make Laws,
Not Laws Conditions,
Statistician Says
BABSON PARK, Mass., Nov.
28—Every cloud has a silver
lining. World War II will bring
about many much-needed re-
forms. Its cost will not all be in
vain. One of the good results
has been bringing nefore the
public a frand discussion of the
"open shop."
Free enterprise and the sanc-
tity of contracts are largely re-
sponsible for America's growth.
A study of your community
shows that its birth and growth
has been due chiefly to a few
men of character, energy, and
imagination. These started, eith-
er in cellars or garrets, and
created successful businesses.
They and their families knew
all parts of the work; they
could fill any job from running
the machines to selling the pro-
duct and keeping the books.
Through the succeeding one
or two generations the owners
of the companies become scat-
tered and the policy was deter-
mined by bankers and lawyers.
There was a constantly widen-
ing gulf between the wage earn-
ers and the stockholders. As a
result of this absentee owner-
ship, labor unions got started.
Hence, collective bargaining has
become universal in the larger
industries.
What About Labor Unions?
Certainly, the wage workers
of a factory ha\'e as much right
to combine, and negotiate
through their own leader, as
Have the stockholders. Although
many wage workers today
would be receiving more money
if they were not tied into their
labor union, yet the total group
in Jhese unionized industries
are perhaps getting more than
they would if they were not
unionized. I say "perhaps" as
it 1s debatable whether work-
ers' labor unions or compan-
ies' research laboratories are
really responsible for the higher
standards of living which labor
is enjoying today.
Unfortunately, labor unions •—
like many other good movements
which start with unselfish in-
tentions — gradually become
"businesses." In many cases
their leaders are receiving huge
salaries and living like feudal
lords. The jobs of these offi-
cials are so attractive that oth-
ers are constantly trying to
seize them. As a result, there
is keen competition. Labor lea-
ders think they must constant-
ly be getting something for their
group or at least must be gett-
ing publicity for themselves.
They first secured collective
bargaining; then better wages
and working conditions. The
only thing left for them to fight
for now is the "closed shop."
Closed Shop Dangerous
The closed shop is not a ser-
ious matter in some industries.
It often removes friction. Of
the 6,000,000 workers in Ameri-
ca's ten leading industries. i-3
are under closed shop practice.
It has been favored by the
Wagner bill, the national labor
board, and even the new defense
mediation board. The danger
comes when it is applied to an
industry which is vital to all in-
dustries. This is the case with
coal upon which all industries,
including the railroads and
public utilities, are dependent.
John L. Lewis would even be
able to say whether or not our
homes are to be heated. Hence,
President Roosevelt's promise
not to yield to the united coal
miners.
On the other hand — and this
is what I especially desire to
emphasize — worse things will
happen unless we stockho'ders
fight for our rights. Conditions
make laws; laws do not make
conditions. Congress must ulti-
mately be swayetl by the group
which puts the greatest pres-
sure upon it. The on'y people
who can save "free enterprise''
Ure the stockholders of our
corporations, — not dummy
boards of directors or their
paid officials.
The stockhoiders# of America
must develop the same ability,
energy, and fighting qualities

as have these labor leaders. La-
bor, of course, needs a SEC
and certain congressional leg-
islation as have the railroads,
public utilities, and other corp-
orations. Such legislation alone,
however, will not be .sufficient.
Congress cannot supply stock-
holders with guts. In the mean-
time, instead of complaining
about "picketing" why do not
we stockholders do some pick-
eting ourselves?
Suggested Cures
The trouble goes back to the
time when the founders' des-
cendants were too lazy to run
the business and sold it out to
Wall street. Labor troubles can
be eliminated only by eliminat-
ing absentee ownership. In-
dustrial peace will come either
through the workers becoming
owners or by the stockholders
becoming workers. The latter
method offers the best solution.
A person is justified in buy-
ing the bonds of a company
without paying much attention
to its operation, but those who
buy stock buy a responsibility
with it. This especially applies
to young people who are inher-
iting these stocks. They should
realize that unless they are
willing to learn and diligently
work in the business from which
they derive the most of their
income they will some day be
wiped out entirely. Instead of
becoming lawyers or entering
some other profession, the sons
of employers should immediate-
ly—train- to-enteF t-lvwr-father's
business or else get Dad to well
out the business and put the
money into Defense bonds.
The ideal situation, even for
an investor, is to have half of
his money in the stock of two
or three diversified corpora-
tions of wheih he is a director
and for which he Is training his
children; then to have the oth-
er half of his money broadly
diversified in a miscellaneous
list of well-selected bonds and
stocks,
er relatives during the holidays.
