Frank Discussion Aids Shop Harmony
Newark, N. J., June 9.—Frank discussion and the right of workers to select their own representatives was urged by Maj. Frank J. Miller, speaking to the industrial group of the New Jersey state chamber of commerce, at its meeting in this city.
Major Miller was formerly president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. In his talk to New Jersey business men he said these principles were essential to successful industrial relations:
"Free discussion of terms, such as obtain between buyer and purchaser. Business men would not think of forbidding another business man to discuss terms with him, and there is no reason why the same should not obtain in his relation toward the workmen.
"The right of each side to select their own representative, just as is done in the business world. It would be absurd for one business man to say who should represent the other. Why, then, should it be otherwise between employers and workmen?"
