My sincerest appreciation must be expressed to the people who provided support and encouragement while this paper was being prepared. J. A. W. (Warner) Woodley, Industrial Relations Manager of Allan Potash Mines was more than generous with his time and intellectual capacity. Doctors, N. A. Hall and V. F. Mitchell of the faculty of Commerce and Business Administration at the University of British Columbia, gave up much of their valuable time for consultations. To these people as well as the participating owners of Allan Potash Mines, my sincerest thanks.
