MILO ZINES WAGES?

sThe system has been and always Will
be- remarks the New York Journal, as
long as the employer makes the laws and
regulates wages, that man or woman
shall be allowed to earn what it Is neces-
sary to keep him or her in good shape
to go on working
Never was a more demagogic speech
penned The New York Journal knows
that the employer does not fly wages of
his employees. The price of labor, like
the price of everything else, is determined
by conditions, and it is as impossible for
a manufactures, for example, TO fix the
wages of those wno work for him as it
is for him to fix the price Of his products.
There is q market price for labor just
as there is a market price for cotton or
tobacco or cotton manufactures or IRON
manufactures or what not and the manu-
facturer must pay the market price, what
ever that be- He cannot afford TO pay
more than the market price for labor ana
ne must pay as much, or good men Wili
not work for tim. The manufacturer may
b., eve,. so 1ind-hearted and magnanimous,
but he cannot pay higher wages than con-
ditiens justify; he may Dc ever 50 penu-
1icus but he must pay as high wages
as conditions demand
Every Thoughtful man knows that this
il tue and 1t is demagosi2 and contemlti-
bic. for any man or newspaper to attempt
TO stir up bad feeling between the chi
pltyer ana his employees by making it
apDear thai the employer fixes the wages
of .hose who work for him without re
gard TO outside conditions over whlch he
has nc cc1.t1ol, and gives to his employees
only enough to keep them in working con-
dition.

ot,eapening Of prices, to the collection of
large quantities of all sorts OF goods
under one roof, and to modern advertising
Speaking of prices, he says that many
men now in active business recall clearly
that 50 per cent. OF actual profit, upon
much larger original cost Of goods, was the
rule in retail business, but that all that
Is changed under the modern development
of retailing, the principle in the big stores
being quick sales and large sales at small
profit rather than slow sales and small
sales at big profits. But in spite OF the
big profits made, by the retailers. Mr..
ogden makes the startling statement that
not per cent. Of the retail merchants
of former days permanently achieved sue
cess!
On behalf of the department store he
also claims that it has not only largely
increased the consumption Of goods. but
the number of persons employed as we'll
1T is an assumption" says he, based
upon some positive knowledge that four
teen persons were Notwithstanding the
employer-for the distribution of 100000
worth OF merchandise under the old con-
ditlons Therefore the handling OF soods

the abilities of 1,40o persons Admitting
the accuracy of the theory already stated.

in single hands, promptly rise to sl500o,Vo
l. is now known to be a fact that 4,2Vo
persons are required to handle retail
business of s15,G1o,O00 a year"
He concludes from this that modern
methods of retailing have increased labor
nearly three-fold. This, to say nothing
OF the extra number Of persons employed
il, lie factories in making the goods han
died nv the department. stores. Mr.. Ogden
also claims that these big stores nave IN
creased the demand for high priced men,
have made a large field for the employment
Of women, and have shortened the hours
of labor.
In conclusion he touches lightly on the
subject of cooperation as applied to the
big stores He says that there have been
tentative and partial efforts towards profit
sharing in this line of business between
employer and en1ploye, but no large con-
tribution to this effort to solve the capital
ana labor question has yet been made. 1t
is true, however, he adds, that the retail
store Of to-day offers unequailed oppor-
tunty for the application Of the golden
rule in business relations
Perhaps This is after all to be The solu-
ton of the corporation problem In

encouraged to purchase stock in the COM

cases the experiment has proven to be
