Although a dominating figure In the oil Industry for some years, lie was not so well known here as the Rockefellers and others, and ills rise Mon that the people Should he educat ed to a proper appreciation of the 'ital relationship between Industrial prosperity and general, national pros perity, and his realization that with out public confidence built on int< 111 gent public opinion, industry must submit to state and federal regula tion which might prove harmful, if not destructive. 1 "I «>n not an alarmist.’’ Colonel Stewart declared. "but I believe that American industry is on trial today before the people and at this moment the people are not disposed to render a favorable verdict. There are two things which industry must do, and l he time to begin is now. First, pur sue a definite economic policy which will have the respect and support of the American people; and second, ed ucate the public to the fact that any thing that harms industry, harms the people ns a whole.

When I say ‘living.’ T mean the kind of liv ing that permits a thrifty man to build his own home and properly to clQthe, feed and educate his chil djenv" J‘*,*'''ith respect to labor Colonel Stew art says that his experience with democracy and industry in his plants has Justified his faith that the work ingman wants only justice and equity and an opportunity to be heard; that in return he is willing to grant justice and equity to the employer. If a point of contact were estab lished and maintained between nil employers and their employes; if the “human element’’ could bo a living thing In Industry, Colonel Stewart has been convinred. In the light of his own experience, that labor unrest would end. Native of Iowa. Colonel Stewart was born on an j Iowa farm.
