coincdent with civilization. SaYages
have little power Ia combine. because
combination depends on trust in our
fellow man, and in primitive life II is
fear that rules.
one of the first steps in Industrial
evolution was To suhdivile production
into trades. Each did what he could
do best, settling accounts by an cX-
change of products. Later those ell
gagged in the same trade formed part
nerships, then corporations and finally
consultations of corporations
Against this march of industrial
progress there has always been opposi-
ton. There have always been those
who, appealing To special interests, To

the mismformed. have endcaNored TO
obtain political favor by opposing prog
ress, by endeavoring to prevent the
natural and mutually beneficial co OPP
Grafton between capital and labor.
