gin viii the so called mss,ers-the con
trollers and representatives OF capital.
NOBLE EXAMPLE
on their part will not b. without its inHu'
ence. They should begin by considerir
whether they are absolute masters or mere
ly ste yards, With responsi1i 1iliries proper
tont d 10 the power that the temporary poa'
session aud management Of wealth gives
them. They should convert their talents,
it ia true, but with due regard to the prin.
cipIe of eternal justice. They should not
forgot that labor is the source of all wealth
and entitled to fair proportion of thai
which il creates, and give this proportion
freely and ungrudgingly, not waiting for
demands 10 DO made on them in prosper
Gus times.
ONE or THE STRONG POINTS
labor makes against capital is that advsn'
ces are seldom or never offered voluntarily
when times are good, They should con
slider that merely paying the minimum rate
for which they can hire the least skilltHl OF
careful workmen is not filling the measure
of duty. Labor is defrauded Of wages
when denied full participation In the pros
perity OF employers. When it is possible,
The system Of piece work should be EN-
ployed so that the most expert and indus
trious may receive the greatest reward,
When this is not practicable, reasonable
hours and fair wages should be accorded.
No sweeping reductions without fair warn
ing, and an end to these inhumsn lock,
outs that fool the country with tramps
and endanger all so,ial order
LET THE MASTERS Bg MASTERS
in fact as well as ia name, and deserve
that honorabe title By so mastering their
business that we may gradually get quit Of
the great extremes Of depression gud
activity that have been such unhappy feat
ures OF our industrial system. 1t them
abandon this mad desire for supremacy or
monopoly that leads 10 reckless increase OF
product TO the extent of so, 25 and 100
