FOURTH EDITION
seuna Views ON LABOR and Capital.

@-0A14 NhJWs VD h<4WWN AM0 &GRAt8As
Discussing the timely subject Of
an I'D iustment OF the relations etween
labor and capital, Mr.. Andrew Carne.
gle says, In the current number OF the
Forum; al would lay IL down - .
maxim that there II NO excuse for n
strike or lockout until Arbitration OF
differences has been offered BY one
party and refused by the other. No
doubt serious trouble attends even arbi
tratlon ut present, from the difhculty
OF procuring suitable men 70 judge In
diligently between the disputants.
There 10 , natural disinciipation among
business men 70 expose their business
70 men In whom they have not entire
confidence. We lack 80 far In America
. retired class Of men Of shairs. Our
vile practice 10 70 keep on accommodating
more dollars until We die.
II Il were the custom here, a. IL 10 In
England, for men to withdraw from &C.
tive business after acquiring fortune,
this class would furnish the proper Or.
bitraters. One great source Of the trou-
Die between employers and employed
arises from the fact that the immen Dc
establishments of to-day, in which
alone We mud serious conflicts between
capital and labor, are not managed by
their owners, but by salaried officers,
who cannot possibly have any perma-
nent interest in the welfare Of the
, workipkmen.
Among other suggestions Of practica
BILE measures that would lead 70 . Der
maucnt and peaceful solution Of the
present labor problem, Mr.. Carnegie
makes the following:
That compensation be paid men based
upon q sliding scale In proportion g.
the prices received for produce; peace.
| full arbitration to be in all cases re
sorted TO for the settlement Of differ.

Committee can no! themselves adjust In

ever to occur TO the operations of the
establishment, since the decision OF The
arbitrators shall be made 70 tax effect
from the date OF reference.
IL these measures were adopted by or
establishment, several important ad-
vantages would be gained.
First. The employer and the enc
ployed would simultaneously shar,
their prosperity or adversity with eaoi
other. The scale once settled, the feel
ing Of antagonism would be gone and q
feeling OF mutually wodld ensue. Cap
ital and labor would DO shoulder 4

Second. There could be neither strik,
