SAUCE FOR The CANDER.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

SAUCE FOR THE CANDER.
This tale Of two contractors Of Des
Moines, Ia, serves to point a moral:
One took the contract to build the
new government building on the river
front. The other contracted to erect
a Milan arch bridge across the river
at the same point.
The federal building contractor be-
lieved in paying the highest wages.
He gave the men who did the com.
mon, rough labor $225 per day, winter
and summer.
The bridge contractor proceeded on
the theory that q dollar saved in Ia
Dor is dollar made by the contractor
Because he could not get them fol
less he paid common laborers SITE pei
day during the summer.
When winter came, however, taking
advantage Of the labor market and
the laborers' necessities. he forced the
common workmen to take 80 cents to
81 per day. The postomce contractor
continued to pay his men $2.25 pei
day.
Now
The postoh3ce contractor was given
three years In which to complete his
contract. He says he will finish the
big building a year ahead Of time.
On the other hand
The bridge contractor has had al
kinds Of trouble. Owing to the care
lessness of his workmen his false
work was swept out by the foods
He has been sued for personal inju
ries sustained by his employees.
1t is said the postoffice contractor
will make a fine profit on his job
The bridge contractor has lost money.
Asked why he paid higher than the
market price for labor, the postofi1c<
contractor said: when you pay a mar
top wages for his labor you get thu
best that In in him.
That's it.
When you pay for the best you gel
the best.
What about paying employees JUS
little bit more than they earn?
do not watch the clock" say thu
monitors. "work zealously for the in
terests Of your employer
Which is all right.
But it should also be said to thu
employer: "Give the best wages t.
your employees. Treat them fairly
