have, as a rule, been useful, not only |
to the laborer, but to the employer as
well and to the whole citizenship OF |
the republic. II / were engaged in
such occupation, have no doubt that |
I would be member OF the organiza-
ton. But 1t is absolutely necessary,
before there can be a contest about
a division of profits, that there should
be profits to divide. There was but
little profit to divide under the last
administration of Grover Cleveland.
There was much profit to divide I'M
der the administration OF William
Mckinley and there is much profit to
divide under the administration OF
Theodore Roosevelt. and labor on
the average has been receiving
larger share Of the profits in increas-
ing wages every year since the cleo
ton of Mckinley.
The first thing for each citizen to
do is to see to 1t that the economic
and financial policies which enable
the people to create a profit shall be
continued. The conferences and con-
tests touching the division of the pro-
fits from time to time will be regu-
lated by the contending parties. Cap
ital must get its fair share, or 1t will
not continue in business; labor must
get its fair share, or 1t will suffer.
Neither can permanently prosper at
the expense of the other. The very
life of the republic depends upon the
integrity, the wisdom, the patriotism,
and the vigilance of the people who
make the republic. Life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness are inalien-
able rights guaranteed by the consti-
tuition to each citizen, whether he be
rich or poor, great or small. THE
liberty Of one man ceases where the
liberty OF another man begins"
In the contest between employer
and employee from time to time, where
| differences could not be adjusted, the
| employer. on the one hand. has re-
| sorted to the lockout, and the en-
ploye on the other hand, to the
| strike. While both are to be deplor-
| ed, considering the volume of pro-
| duction and the increase of popula-
ton. they are becoming less frequent.
In my judgment, the time will come
| when all such differences will be set
tied amicably between the contendlng
forces; but In all contests employer
ana employe alike must oDey the law
