An Islander ni Ito Prulltl or

l" lulwl". business and industrial magazines all over the United States and Canada last week "PPeored the genial features of a Prince Edward Islander whose success us mediator in industrial di5Putes has become almost a tradition in the "elglllwllllfl RePllblic. He. is Mr. Cyrus S. Ching, who was born a few miles from Souris seventy- one years ago, and today heads the vitally im- portant new agency, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service which was set up by Con- gress to go into effect on August 22. Next to the Presidential office itself, it is one of the big- gest jobs in the United States today.

For thirty-two years the U. S.' Government has tried to exercise a moderating influence in union-management embroglias. In i915 the Labor Department inaugurated a mediation ser-- vice, but this has not worked satisfactorily; "too much bureaucracy," it was claimed. In the view of Congress, the pro-laborism of the De- partment was not the proper environment for such a service. To be worth much it had to maintain an equal distance between both parties in any labor dispute. Legislation was accord- ingly passed, creating an independent agency under a chief to be appointed by the President. lt is to this post that Mr. Ching has been named. Says Business Week, which features the appointment in its current issue:

"No sour notes were audible from either labor or management quarters at the appoint- merit. This rare state oi affairs is only a little rarer than the Ching perscnolity...Those who take the extremely jaundiced view of everything Truman does hint that Cliiiig was picked be- cause he is too elderly to work many changes in an old-line agency. Such critics are apt to be fooled. Ching is vigorous, hale and alert. He'll make whatever changes he sees fit, and he has no enfeeblement to impede him."

Under the law, the new department must "profer its services" whenever it thinks that there is a dispute which may "cause a substan- tinl interruption of commerce." lf the director is not able to bring the parties together, he is under a mandate to urge them to submit the employer's last offer to the employees in a secret ballot. These approaches are about all the law specifically directs; but behind the language of the statute is the clear congressiqal intent that the new service be made into an important force for labor peace. "Doing that, even for_the byg 6-ft. 7-in Ching," says Business Week, "is a big lobMr. Ching's career is familiar in outline to most of his fellow islanders. Leaving this Province for Boston at the age of 24, he enrolled. for a night course in law at Northeastern University, and went to work as a motorman on the Boston Elevated Railway. "Those who remember CY from those days," according to one biographer, "recall that he gave the impression of overpow- ering rather than drivingan El motor." Rising job by iob he became assistant to the president of the Boston El. ln l9l9‘he left the company to join the U. S. Rubber Company. of which he became the director of industrial and public relations. _

To quote further from Business Week: "Ching was a pioneer of labor-relations work. For years, he was so far ahead of'most management think- ing on labor problems thatcertuln Business quarters entertained the__suspicion that he was a radical. He has lived to see the doctrines he preached become standard business thinking. ln 1942 conservative Dartmouth conferred upon him the honorary degree of doctor of law. _A partial list of other POSIlZOHS he has held iri- dicote his wide acceptance by business:_pr_esi- dent of the American Management ‘ASSOCIOLIOH, chairman of the Immigration Committee of the National Association of Manufacturers :_ msmbel’ of the advisory committee of the National In- dustrial Conference Board; industry member of the National War Labor Boaid._Th_rough all tlie period of his ascending Astatusan industrial cir- cles, Ching never saciiiicca {lllS laboncontaal. nor~forfeited the respect of hi: union friends. e held them by a quality of rugged honesty, do forthright manner of speaking all of his min", and on earthly humanity which could equo y evident in the Union League Club or in Union Square.

Iiogcnerato Democracy

The meaning of wards and phrases is apr ro undergo change, with the result current concep- tions are quite different from that originally in- tended. Democracy, for instance was applied to that farm of government bv which the‘poople directly governed themselves without interven- tion of middle men. ln large communities this became impractical, and so the people, in os- sembly gathered, chose representatives to meet with other representatives to discuss ond dirct their affairs. The lost of such assemblies here was in pro-ballot days, when we had open vot-

dependent, was expected tii attend and openly declare the liind of administration lie favored. The substitution of secret bafiotting was suppos- ed_ to benefit the average employee or tenant, llebllng him to record his choice without risk.

able, and in this respect there has been realiz- ed the condition envisaged by the Whig Henry Hcllam, historian, who on tlie eve of the passing of the Great Reform uiil of Britain, I832, wrote: "lf once the principle of this Bill be admitted, its consequences will extend; change will suc- ceed to change, and the reform of one day will necessitate another one the next. The govern- ment will gradually be transferred to the hust- ings. The representatives, elected by the democ- racy will look to the quarter from which the wind of popular favour blows, in order to follow its direction; and English politics, abandoned to popular caprice, will dcvial’: from their proper course, whilst the English constitution will be shaken to its foundation."

We now know that this is really true, in so far as popular elections are concerned in differ- ent parts of Europe; democratic representative government is actually non-existent, being aban- doned to popular caprice.

X s i. a A serious, although uiiofhcial, effort is now being made in France to introduce the French language into the liturgy. Recently, Vespers have not been well attended and it is felt that t.ie use of French in the ccaiiplines and evening prayers will make it easier for church-members to participate in evening services. Abbe Bouvier is the leading exponent of tliis movement. ln translating the evening grayers and night songs into French, he has adapted them to the plain chant with remarkable skill. 1' i‘ 1' i

It is reported from Washington that the U. S. ore prepared to deal more favourably with Brit- ain than she has done up till now. One reason is the long sequence of rebuffs U. S. has received from Russia and r satellites and the final proof, presented by their refusal to co-operate on the Marshall Plan of aiil for Europe, that Britain is the only major power in Europe that can be depended upon for friendship and part- nership in efforts to bring economic order. Per- haps the implied threat of Canada to shut off newsprint supply may also have had something to do with the modifications of policy. "I V I I

Tragedy upon tragedy follows this otherwise happy season when all are bent on making the most of the shortening clays. The drowning acci- dent yesterday on the peaceful waters of Brigh- ton Shore, in which the weli-known and highly popular Mr. Fred Pickard of the Bike Shop lost his life, brings forcibly liome to us the short hold we have on life. Mr. Pickaid will be greatly missed wherever youth gathers together, for he was a man's man, ever ready to give a helping hand in the furtherance of sports and pastimes. He loved the open, and encouraged boys to make the most of the out-of-doors, both summer and w-nter. His busy store was tlie centre of young
