A SERMONET FOR WORKERS
cror tho nNewso BY II. j. napeoodl


(For the News" by H. j. Hapgood)
There is no limit to the salary the
captain OF industry is willing to pay
when he sees the man he wants. one
of the largest industrial combinations
sent representatives 5000 miles across
the sea to offer a salary of S25,000 q
year to n man who had the quallhca-
tions necessary TO establish and take
charge OF its most important depart
ments. This factoring offer was re-
fused, although the company WAS will

Is still unified one might go on

SO well qualified Judge MS Ebert
II. Gray, chairman Of the board of direc-
tors OF the United States Steel Cor
poratlon, which pays out In salaries
and wages about si2b,O00,000 year
sums up the matter when he says, THE
real question is not the sizo of the sal
aries but whether the right men are
drawing them. ono man may be cheap
at $4,000 a year. while another man
In the same position might be dear at
$1,000 a year.
The tendency of the business world
just now is not to search for men who
will take low salaries, but FOR men who
deserve high salaries.
The difficulty does not lie in lack OF
ability any more than it does in the
niggardliness of employers 1t is true

creased enormously, and the man who
was considered above the average
twenty years ago, would not be up to
present standards. Human ability, how
ever, has kept pace with the advance
in business methods, and the average
salesman, executive, clerical or tech
meal man of today is even more capable
years ago.
What employers need today is not
more ability. There is enough of that
in fact. as well known business man
recently remarked. perhaps there is too
much! What is needed are more men
with the power and inclination TO use
the ability they have.
Employers want men who combine
with their ambition, education and nat
ural talents, honesty and the capacity
for hard work This sums up the re-
quIrements, and the scarcity of men
who meet them explains the worldwide
search that is now going on. There is
no lack of ability. but there is lack of
the integrity, the energy and the inf
mite capacity for taking pains, without
which even great ability can accom-
pllsh little.

BURBIDGE REMOVED.

The removal OF Captain Burbldge
from the position on the police force.
which he has filled with ability for a
number of years, is important; first be-
cause 1t dispells any Illusion that may
have been entertained as to the in
dependence of the city authorities OF
the lash of what Mr.. Fernstrom calls
the "hierarchs" OF the party. 1t is one
more evidence Of the incompetence Of
the officials and the unalterable inten-
ton OF said "hierarchs" to run things
in the interest of the party, and not Of
the city
i is important, secondly. because
the somewhat unusual mode of proce-
dure must be construed as a reprmand
TO the Chief of Police. who is on record
as having said that he appreciates the
value OF the deposed Captain, to the
department. Next, we presume, the
Chief win be notified to resign.
1t was stated that Captain Burbidge
was removed for the good of the ser
vice" But that was not accepted as
true by American" councilmen who
gave as a reason for their vote that
they believed in giving the spoils' to
the vlctors." When a man believes
that a municipal election is battle"
and that municipal offices are loot"
he does not have to remove an officer
for the good of the service He does
not need that subterfuge.
The logical sequence of last night $
action is the removal of Chief Pitt ana
the Reinstatement of ex-Chef Sheets
