Are Men Things?

Vice President Wickes of the Pullman
Company deserves credit at all events for
being perfectly frank in his testimony
before the National Labor Commission.
When Chairman Wright asked him if it
would not be good plan to increase the
wages of men in prosperous years, he de-
INJURED, and said: 1--WE go into market
for men just as we do for materials. 1t
is all regulated by the law of supply and
demand. We don't recognize the men
as members of unions, but as individuals.
If they are not able to plead their own
case it is their own misfortune" The
antique British myth that employers
only are men, and employees only things,
has seldom been better put Even the
old English economists never uttered it
with such naive brutality. 1t implies,
of course, that Mr.. Wickes and those
who think like him buy their men just
as they do their iron, their coal. their
lumber, or the other things that they
buy according to the law of supply and
demand. There is no trace whatever of
the fundamental truth Ofhuman brother
hood and its obligations. Mr.. Wickes is
a century behind the sociological times.
Men are not things; they are brothers,
with the same capacities and aspirations,
aud rights to have those capacities exer-
cised and those aspirations gratified.

gained to keep the works moving, and
thus it is hoped all orders can be filled in
