Labor Saving Machines and Work
lngmsag1 90
There was large nieetins of wprkang-
men at the Labor LyseuTa in Froofsyn
AscSunday, at which sthsns Wsrf sptee

With respect to the bekYway to solve the
labsf problem. Two 4 the speakers de-
clared that over-prOduetEeA was the
cause Of low wages and lack OF WORK
ettszefs-s;- "a lei iaa-peePIe, and that over
production was the result of the employ
ment of labor-saving machinery. They
return to hand labor and
the abandonment of machinery.
These speakers evidently have not
studied the labor problem. A little in
yestigation would convince them that
machinery has widened and diversified
the field of labor, and has benefited the
poor as well as the rich.
There are very many things that the
world would have to do without if 1t were
not for machinery, and the demand for
labor would be much more limited than II
is. The cost of production would be
greater and the cost of living would be
proportIOnally increased.
Farmers can remember the time when
farm laborers declared that the introduce
ton of moving and reaping machines
would deprive them of bread. The Ia
borers were mistaken. They are just as
well of now as they We're before farm ma
chinery was invented. But what would
the famers do without reaping, moving
and threshing machines? They could not
gather their crops in time to save them
from damage by rain or frost. Indeed it
is doubtful if they could gather them at
all in quantities to meet the demand.
The great wheat farmers Of the North
west. for instance, would have to limit
the area of cultivation if they had to de-
pend upon the cradle and the fail to har-
vest and thresh their wheat. What is
4 true with respect to the agricul-
/ tural industry is true with re-
/ spect to other industries. If a CON-
/ mittee Of wOrkingmen were appointed to
| decide what kinds Of machinery could be
| dispersed with TO the advantage Of the
/ laboring classes it would be at a
! loss to make a decision.
The truth is, labor saving machines are
invented only in obedience to imperative
/ demands for them, and their benefits are
/ shared by all classes Of society.

place in the Senate just at the-end Of the
session, but it seems that there was
another reason. That reason, 1t is al
legged, was desire to escape the impor-

had read in the newspaper reports that
ne had devised a scheme for securing res
feuations in advance OF the expiration Of
