Thinking Job
By MARCUS DROWNE

John Riggs worked for years in a
safe and lock factory. He was a good
workman, bus that was a time when
prices Of skilled labor were not regu-
lated as they are now by means Of
coalition, and the firm that John work
ed for was not oyergenerous Year
after year passed. and children were
rafting their knives and forks al
Johns table, but his wages were just
the same as when he had no children
at all John often applied to Mr. Scalp
4 ton, the president Of the safe and
lock company, for a raise Of salary.
and Mr.. scalpton, o fine looking and
rather benevolent appearing old gen
tleman, would say:
We're paying you Just what we
can at any time get man to do your
work for, and well continue TO pay
you your wages JUST az long as you do
your work well, and when you find
you can do better elsewhere we won't
object to your improving your salary
. by leaving us"
John didn't see ahead SO far as the

make prices what he wanted them or
