The influential newspapers OF Penn

tribute 10 the new postmaster general.
who has for some years been editor Of
the Philadelphia Press. Charles En-
DRY Smith was selected by the president
TO oil the office as soon az Mr.. Gary

intended TO tender his resignation. Mr..
Smith was unwilling 10 sever his con-
neetion with his paper and Mr.. Mckir-

select one member OF the cabinet from

United States only 2s per cent goes 70
capital, S per cent to government and
y per cent. to labor. It thus appears
that while the profits of capital are
about the same In all three OF these
countries, labor receives 16 per cent.
more In America than 1t does in Eng
land. and 81 per cent. more than 1t does
in France.
Nobody familiar with the conditions
Of labor in these several countries has
had any doubt about the facts. but it
10 interesting to find those conclusions
so thoroughly well established by fig-
ures which cannot be questioned. When
an English newspaper like the London
Times finds itself compelled to admit
the superiority Of American labor. 1t
may be safely assumed that the figures
are not far wrong. One reason for
this condition is the greater concentra-
ton Of capital By the use OF i'm
proved machinery q smaller compare
tive investment in plant is needed, and
greater proportion Of labor is en-
pioyed to the amount Of capital.
For instance. II a certain set OF ma
chimes is kept employed during the en-
tire twenty-four hours with three shifts
OF men. it is manifest that a much
smaller amount OF capital and q much
greater amount Of labor is employed
than If the same number Of machines
is only used during one shift and the
capital invested in the machinery al
lowed to lie idle during sixteen of the
twensy-four hours. The same reason
ing applies to the more thorough and
more highly skilled labor OF the Ameri-
can workingman. With $1,000 worth of
an American workingman
can turn out more work In eight hours
than working man OF any other coun-
try. 1t is manifest, therefore. that the
Of iabor's share to the result
must be greater. That is one reason
why capital can pay a higher price in
America than In any other country,
and 1t explains by a very simple pro.
cess OF reasoning why the percentage
allotted to labor is so much greater in
this country.
