EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYED.
A Plea for Commonsense in Industry.
You want to kill industrial discontent? Well, then, fret uproot the Spirit of distrust between master and man, and give them a chance to build up s batter understanding.
I can tell you the way I should. do this. I should put social means frst and foremost. It was the way we got results in, the Army, so why should it not do the same job in civilian life? aske Capt. Gee, V.C, M.P.
If employers meet their work- men regularly at smoking con- certs and other social entertain- ments, and get the chance to see that neither lot is so bad as the enemies of both had given each other to understand, they begin the killing of the dragon at
once,
Many a bitter conflict between the beads and the hands has been avoided in this way, and its |dangar replaced by a foundation of good understanding and co- operation.
When the employer and the employee once Ket together when they learn to know each other botter, the employer will begin to realise that his work- men are entitled to something more than a bare living wage, that they have the right to a sur- plus which will allow them to take their share in the beauties of life.
THE MODEL WORKING MAN. And the employer will see further than this; he will see that the must arouse the interest and
intelligence of his workwen if he wants to get paying results, and not keep them endlessly under the bad old conditions and in the soulless dons of iniquity which still exist as working places in our midst.
As for the workman, he too, will begin to see things in a new light.

80 many hours a day of his life to anyone who will buy them, but as a resp n- sible citizen of a great Empire, responsible by reason of his skill and his energy not to his employer alone, but to the state whose good name shines in the credit of his good deeds.
For remember this a point which the working man who has served as a soldier in distant lands сап never forget the British working man is looked up to abroad with profound respect by all classes of sociot, European and Asiatic alike I know this as a hard fact from my own experience.
What the British workman says and does is taken as a pattern: and model all the world over, and it speaks little for the power of the mischief-monger and ex- tremist, now happily in the dec- line of whatever popularity they ever possessed, that the name of the British working man is ster- ling currency, value which passes everywhere amongst those who know the worth of loyal efficiency
and steady commonsense in the daily work of B powerful
nation.
No land but ours is given the the credit for that temperate wisdom which is the birthright of no special class, but runs right down the social scale from the most gifted and fortunate in the goods of the earth to those whose inalienable treasure is laid up in their own stout hearts and will ing arms, those who are poor while they retain the riches of the spirit.

They not only please your taste, but they do something else besides.
You know what a big, juicy beefsteak does for your hunger.
Chesterfields do exactly the same thing for your smoking. They let you know you're smoking. They SATISFY!
The blend does it. And the blend can't be copied.
