But YOU are not only to be kind to those
who are under you-C hristianly kind
but you are also to see that your boss
workman and your head clerks and your
agents and your oversecrs in stores are
kind to those under them. Sometimes a
man will get IL little brief authority in a
store or in factory, and, while they are
very courteous to you, the capitalist, or
TO you. the head man of the firm, they
are most brutal in their treatment Of
those under them. God only knows what
some of the lads suffer in the cellars and
in the lofts of some of our great estab-
liShments They have no one TO appeal
to- The time will come when their arm
will be strong and they can defend them
selves, but not now. Alas for some Of
the cashboys and the messenger boys and
the boys that sweep the store, Alas for
some of them, Now. you capitalist, you,
the head man of the firm, must look, sll-
pervisc. see those all around you, invcsti-
gate all beneath you.
