A modern industrial negotiation are far too offen legal discussion, experiments in barraging or controversies intended to prove one’s case and disprove the opposite party what is needed is an attempts to find the terms and conditions upon which all may be induced to collaborate. This may be an exercise in persuasion as well as argument. It should be conducted with due regard to human states and dignity and to the psychological conditions under which persuasion of the imply face to face take “on the level “a” balanced and complete statement of facts in which nothing that is important is hidden, a willingness on both sides to meet legitiment doubt and difficulties readiness to admit the strength and point of argument and power to act honestly and justly upon views or claims this have been sustained.
