The most discussed subject at the conference was how the coali tion plan will work.

Mr. Campbell, as one of the chief designers Doll up that big Thanksgiving Table with of the plan, explained the procedure as follows; The executive committee of 70 will meet at least Oshkosh persons at the meeting were impressed with the unanimity of feeling shown at the gathering, practically all of those who spoke expressing fervid desire to stamp out what they described as "the menace of dictatorship," in Wisconsin. Somewhat surprising was the strong anti-La Follette feeling shown at the meeting by a substantial group claiming to be the originators of the Progressive party in this state. Insisting they have a membership of 48,000 voters in Milwaukee and nearby lake shore cities, this group demanded 90 days before the state primary THRILLNC. election of 1938 and select a sin gle coalition candidate for the of a oart in the coalition movement, fice of governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer and attorney general.

After the votes have been counted, thfe coalition candidates will become standard bearers of the party which gave them, the most votes in the primary.

Sponsors of the plan conceded there may be some hitches that will have to be ironed out, but insisted that the determination of a substantial group of citizens to "rid the state of dictatorship," will be sufficient to find a satisfactory solution to technical problems that may arise. MINISTERS ARE YOUR eluding Dr. Robert Miller, vice nresident of Progressives, The Kimberly-Clark management takes this space to talk industrial peace, not industrial warfare.

We believe it is time that someone should "speak out in meeting," to tell the secret of peace and understanding between employer and employee. For there can be mutual understanding under any factory roof, provided, management and employees will pay the price. WHAT, THEN, IS THE PRICE OF 1NMTSTKIAL PEACE? FirstThe management must recognize tint human relations in industry arc a major issue, not a sideline. We may say, without any sentimentality, that these questions of industrial relations demand both brain and heart. They call for the best brains and hearts there are in the management of the company, the supervisory staff, and the employees themselves.

Second Wages and hours are vitally important, but we must recognize that there is much more to good industrial relations than good wages and hours. Mr. J. David Houser expressed it when he said: "What the employee wants in the situation where he spends half of his waking hours, and most of his energy, is exactly what every human being asks of life: Respect for his personality, his human dignity, an environment that he comprehends, and a sense that he is progressing." Third Enduring human relationships in faclory or mill call for open-minded, fearless but friendly talk between employees themselves, their direct representatives, and members of the management and lots of it. In my remarks of November 8, I referred to the thousands of hours (this is not overstated) that have been devoted to management-employee discussions in this Kimberly-Clark organization.

Many features of indus-trial life arc controversial; they always have been, and always will be controversial. It is only through repeated regular meetings and much informal conversation that men and women in the working force and management may get to know each other, may come to understand each other, and finally, to respect and trust each other. Such conversations produce the raw material out of which mutually satisfactory decisions are made. This program costs heavily in time, in patience, and in money. It is much the same in any other worthwhile accomplishment.

For years employees and management of Kimberly-Clark have done it this way. "Simple" you say? Yes, simple, but important! In these days when our national life is so beset with cross currents, it is well for us to think more about some of the simple fundamentals. In closing this talk I am going to make two statements on behalf of our Kimberly-Clark management. 1. We have gotten a lot of sound education out of the countless hours of debate and discussion with representatives of employees these past four years.

There arc doubtless many employees of the company who can also say as much 2. As a result of this relationship, we believe the Kimberly-Clark organization Is now governed by fairer, more liberal company policies (we call them standard instructions) than this or any other management could work out by themselves. As has been stated in previous talks, employees and management now find themselves without a collective bargaining agency, certified as such tinder existing law. Hut let us be clear On this point: It is our purpose in these talks' to emphasize normal, friendly, constructive relations in industry. It is not our purpose to encourage or to discredit any form of employee organization.

That choice, as every Kimberly-Clark man or woman knows, is entirely in their hands. They arc free to join anv organization or no organization. With changing conditions, it will become necessary for our management, on its own initiative, to modify standard instructions, or add new ones. These changes or additions cannot, under existing conditions, be made through formal collective bargaining. Such changes will be made, however, only after advice and counsel with the men and women ho arc to live under the new or altered instructions.

Caught unawares by this unexpected blast against the administration from people calling themselves Progressives, the conference hastily revised its organization to include this element in the coalition movement. Progressives were included on the resolutions committee and place was provided for Progressive representation on the executive committee, which will select the coalition slate. Another surprise attack on tlje 'La Follette dictatorship" came at the conference from Joseph F.

Walsh, Lemke-UrJon party candidate for governor in 1936. Mr. Walsh scathingly rapped the La Follette "machine" in a talk before the meeting.
