1t always seems hard for the workers
that their needs which they so keenly rea-
lie. should not be- exclusively considered.
So il seems To manufacturers that the com
petition which cuts down or destroys their
profits should not be the controlling consid-
erati"n. But in the long run it is better for
both that the interests of both should be
fairly taken into account. Neither can
prosper long without the other. Hence il
Is that arbitration will always be found bet
ter fer the wurkmen and better for the en-
