There Is no reason for dissensions
between capital and labor; and if the
men will recognize that there are two

any industry is started--the one to

cations as well as privileges. | think
labor and capital will reach an under
standing that win settle the questions
of organization of labor unions and all
similar fundamental questions for all
time.
Perhaps the wage-worker may say,
"But that will not settle the question
OF wages-the mere recognition of the
union" say it will. If the union will
present to capital strong, upright, hon

Here are our representatives; do
business with them we have elected

What Governs Wages

Wages are not matter of indivld-
ual caprice or arbitrary dictum, but
are governed by natural law. 1t is
not within the. power of capital or of
the government or of organization
arbitrarily to increase wages. Wages
can be permanently influenced only
through the operation OF the social
and economic forces which govern
all other economic movements.
For centuries it was believed that
wages were a matter entirely within
the power of the masters decision.
This was so thoroughly accepted that.
for hundreds Of years. in England,
wages were fixed by law. In the four.
teenth and fifteenth centuries 1t was
penal offense for 1aborers to ask
for more wages than the statute pro-
vided Under the Tudors the wages
were fixed twice year by proclama.
tion of the magistrates In the differ
ent counties. Despite the power of
authority. which was well.nigh abb
solute, backed by the influence of the
masters, the church and the throne, it
was found absolutely impossible to
compel wages TO obey the authorized
standard From Edward III. to Will
liam w the statute books of England

but all in vain,
