Yet Industry as a whole reflects the wilt of the various representative organisations only In an indirect and haphasard way. Representation has been limited to the stockholder of the cooperation and based upon the amount of property (shares) In vysted. "As a result of the complexity of our present Industrial organisation there has grown a natural tendency on the part of every individual to protect Its own Interests, real I is Its particular ideals and direct the Industrial process to lta own advantage. Organisation has been the method employed. Unfortunately, these have been more or leas exorganisations clusive n character and limited In scope so that on the one hand they represented the employing clase and on the other the employee branch of Industry., They functioned primarily for the benefit of that element and for the achievement of some In the eame Instltu-- .

"Stimulated by the exigencies of the war, which succeeded In breaking down many barrier cooperation of all elements In industry was made essential. Thera was a growth of democratic tendencies among the employers and the in stlnct of among the . workers. "As an outgrowth of this condition careful thought has been devoted to the establishment of a system of represents tlon between employer and his worker which woudl make possible a closer con tact between those two elements and bring about joint discussion and adjust ment of matters .of mutual concern.

On - third week of the Influenza epidemic of ICO In Salt Lake and ed yesterday. Statistics at the city board of health office show that although there are a great many more cases of the disease 'for the first three weeks' visitation this year than at the Inst Visit In 1913, the death rate Is very slight compared to that of mis. There have been 3S97 cases and 34 deaths reported sines the week ending January 23, which was the beginning of the epidemic this year and for the first three weeks la ISIS, beginning with the week ending October 11, there were 1811 canes an 11 death "I am convinced that there are Ure times a many cases In Salt I.ak aa have been reported," said Dr. Willard city health commissioner, yesterday, "but 1 think wt have no reason to become greatly alarmed ever the situThe disease is of a very light ation. form and the ones who are dying of it are the ones who foolishly think they ran defy tha disease and refuse to take the care of themselves which they should.

T Utah Associated Industries , Chris-topherso- n, STo Need of Quarantine. I think there Is no need of quarantining the city or dosing the schools or any of th amusement places and no such action will be taken unless th situation grows very much worse. Everyone in th city has by this time been exposed to th disease and they will take It if their system is In a condition to be attacked, whether th theaters are closed or not. As for tha school very few children are coming down with th disease and there are almost no death comparatively speaking, among them. They are usually sick for about two days and are able to be back In school in a short time. 1 am aure that the epidemic has reached the apex and that from now on w will see a decided decrease. This can take be almost assured. If all will th ordinary precautions to keep themfollow selves well. Good health rules to at this time are: Keep the nostrils and th mouth clean; walk home Instead of riding In the street car; stay away from crowded place especially dances; keep tha digestive system free from congestion by taking castor oil or a good dose of salts. If you feel sick all over, with a terrible tieadach pains In the legs and back and have a fever, with a cold in the the head, go to bed; have thrqgt oforfresh air in th room; take simplenty ple food,' such aa'mllk, milk soups, gruela or porridge, .any kind of broth, not more than two eggs a day; do not take any stimulants unless ordered to do so by a physician.

Cold' Is Not Influenza. "Ther is much hysteria concerning the epldemto and a tendency to call every form of cold Influenza. I waa called to a factory the other day by the manager of the plant, who said that more than half of his force was laid up with Influenza and that tha plant waa crippled, and could I not do something to help him combat the disease. I called a meeting of th employees and talked to them concerning the various means of avoiding1 It and Of care during the sickness. took tit names of th employees who were out and who where alleged to have been suffering from Influenza. Non of the names he gave me had been reported to tha health office as having Influenza and the ones w could find were none of them tick with It, but were ailing from other forma of sickness.

In addition to th deaths reported for this year, there have been a few attributed to lobar pneumonia, which may or may not have been the result of Influenza.

This seems the only way out of the senseless and destructive conflict between employers and employees.
