Fred H. Clausen, president of a 

 Wisconsin farm equipment company, 

 speaking for industry said "that em- 

 ployer and employee relationship is 

 a matter of cooperation, that wages 

 must be paid for work done, the right 

 to work must not be denied, that labor 

 protests must be limited to peaceful 

 picketing, the sitdown strike outlawed 

 and that labor groups must assume 

 responsibility for their acts. 



"Labor's greatest problem," said 

 George Clausen, secretary of the Min- 

 nesota Federation of Labor, "is inse- 

 curity of employment." He recognized 

 that the problems of agriculture must 

 be a factor in the conditions of indus- 

 trial labor. 



Speaking for agriculture, Clifford V. 

 Gregory of Wallace's Farmer, said: 

 "Farmers believe that abundant and 

 steady production is the ground on 

 which farmers, business-men and work- 

 ers can get together to build perman- 

 ent prosperity. They hope the time 

 will soon come when both industry and 

 labor will realize that abundant pro- 

 duction is more important than high 

 prices and high hourly wages; that 

 stability of production is more impor- 

 tant than stability of prices and wages."

 Transportation in Grain Cooperatives."

 St. Louis Bank for Cooperatives.

 grain marketing problems and Talmage 

 De Frees, president, Illinois Fruit 

 Growers Exchange, presided at the ses- 

 sion on fruit and vegetable marketing.

The fact that the time of the Institute
