Coal has become mans chief worker
and horse labor and human manual
labor are slowly being pushed aside.
In the great transformation 1t has
been brain power that has triumphed
over brute strength. Man first sought
to shift his burden to the backs Of
the beasts of the field, and the horse
became his patient friend and assist
ant, but now he seeks to harness the
elemental forces OF nature to do his
bidding. The burden Is thus lightened
without cruelty to any living creature.
Neither man nor beast has had his Ia
bors increased. but steadily decreased.
