T am sure that you as a Rotarian will be very
much interested in the inclosed reprint from"Editor and Publisher"
on how the Press can aid Management-Labor teamwork.

vs

All ofv know that one of the bottlenecks of our
War effort has been Labor-Management difficulties on the product-
ion line.What is needed is an unselfish philosophy of team work
that will work together until the war is won-and then on into
the Peace period in planning an adequate"Work Pile" of employ-
ment for returning soldiers. If selfish subversive forces gain
control of labor. resentment of the returning soldiers may flare
into open strife.

The force of Moral ReArmament is seeking to build
that needed spirit of unselfish team work in the nation.Senator
George Wharton Pepper says of the work of MRA: "The most pressing
problem in every industrial’ plant is how to convert the half-
heartedness which ends in defeat into the enthusiasm which carries
. on. to Victory. ae Now =
Every normal human being,whether worker or manager
has in him the spark thet can be fanned into a flaming determin-
ation to win the war;but how shall the fanning be done? Rough talk
by one set off men to another morely blows out the apark.Soft talk
by mealy-mouthed managers is apt to leave strong men cold.Why not
stop both kinds.of talk and substitute an approach to every man's
better self,whether ho be menage or worker,by forcing upon his
attention a striking picture of the actual. consequences of the
half-heartedness of the weak and the enthusiasm of the strong?
Why not in this way suggest to every man that it is up to him to
fan his own spark. :

7 Birchard Taylor,Vice-president of Cramp Ship yards
upon the authority of practical experience,says that this approach
is the right way to create in each man a permanent inner incentive,
He also testifies,on the basis of experience,thet the men and
women of Moral Re-/rmarient are the people who have developed this
essential art.They know how to kindle the flame.Their industrial
program mekes cold hearts warms and weak wills strong..."

After reading the inclosed leaflet,will you please
hand it over to your Clubts "Press" representative. 7
