Sober business men are saying that
I'VE have come round again to the day
of small profits . AS matter of fact.
that day has always been here and al
ways must be. For the vast majority
of mankind nothing beyond a moder-
ate competence is ever possible, and
this only on the condition of industry
and frugality. AS heaped-up riches
can only be gained by one in hundred.
what pity it is that the other ninety
nine should miss the enjoyment of
what is within reach through a fever
ish eagerness to lay hands on the pot of
gold at the foot of the rainbow -

The money cost of labor strike is
always an important item in proper.
tion to the interests involved and the
number of workmen thrown out of en-
ployment. To the small concern oper.
ating on limited capital the enforced
idleness Of plant or stoppage of bust
ness means as much in proportion as
to the concern, and so, too, with respect
to the small wage-earner as with the
high-salaried official when the wage is
temporarily stopped. No matter what
may be the outcome OF labor strike,
the result rarely, if ever, justifies the
cost, and it is well-recognized fact
that the great strikes in which thous-
ands OF workmen are involved are near
ly always unsuccessful in the accom-
plishment of the end sought to be
obtained by the striker. Even when
successful, it generally happens that
the same results could have been ac-
complished sooner and more effectively
without resort to drastic measures.
