Whereas, this can be accompanied only if labor and capital work harmoniusly together under terms and conditions satisfactory to both and consistent with the public interest and welfare;

Whereas, a labor-management conference designed to lay the foundations of industrial peace will be held on July 24, 1950, to last for ten days;
NOW THEREFORE, I, Elpidio Quirino, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby declare the period from July 24 to 29, 1950, as Industrial Peace Week. I call upon all the chambers of commerce, trade bodies and business organizations, all industrial and business executives, and all duly organized labor organizations and trade unions and their leaders to send their representatives to the labor-management conference to be held beginning July 24, 1950, and to give their full support and cooperation thereto. I also call upon the government offices and public officials concerned to lend all the assistance necessary to insure the success of the conference.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippines to be affixed.
Done in the City of Manila, this 6th day of June, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty, and of the Independence of the Philippines, the third.
