LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
A Working Man on the Labor Ques.
fiOn.

Editor Star:-In these days there is so
much said aboat capital and labor l. as
labOring man of s. years experience, Will ven.
ture to say that most or all the trouble might
be settled in this way: Let every man that can
get work at auy price go to work, and work
honestly and faithfully, SD as to make himself
necessary to his employer; and after he has
done that there will be no trouble about wages,
for the man who earns his wages is very apt
to get it. The trouble is with some WORKING
men that they are trying to get the highest
wages for the least amount Of work. Now, no
man can afford to carry on business for the
fun of it. He must make something for him
self, and if the laborer or mechanic does n vt
earn his wages and something more he can't
reasonably expect to retain his position.
Now, suppose L am contractor. l agree to
execute piece of work for stipulated sum.
pay my labOrerS 81. 50per diem. and when the
wOik is done find have lost money on 1t.
and have other work Of the same kind and at
the same price. i must either reduce the
wages, get other hands that will do more
work, or give up the work. Now, it strikes
me, that ii kearney, Cohen, and others who
are making SO much fuss would urge the work
ing men to be honest and faithful in the dis
charge of their work, when they have it, they
would find more of it and get better paid for
it. Let them make friends of caUital for CAPT.
tai is their friend and capital viii employ its
friends sooner than its enemies. was at work
once for fifteen dollars per week and my boss
raised my wages to eighteen without being
asked to do SO, all because / worked for him
as would work for myself.
