Every employer has right to look into
the question as to what he can afford 70
give for services rendered to him, the
matter to be determined and decided by
the revenues derived from the business In
which It Is engaged. No employe can de-
termlne that, for the employer alone Is
possessed Of all the facts upon which nc
must base his decision and action.
whenever there is not sufficient re-
muneratlon upon the part Of the employer
for the service of the employe, let the EN-
ploye leave the service of the employer
and seek other employment.
II understand from the public press that
this community is in sympathy with whai

say now that this is a mistaken sympathy
upon their part. No community can de-
eide as SUCH between the rights of the

violent and dangerous form than ever. not
only in France, but throughout the civiliz-
