Bill Vines Writes on
Labor and Capital

am free to say that working has newer oc-
Cured to me. | am, however, for the work
ing man first, last and all the time; that is
the reesun it annoys me to see all the reel
good things that seem to cum frum labor
unions go to a lot of high-muckity Mueks
like Gompurs and few uthers who don't
care a hoot whether labor has a meel ticket
or not so long as it continews to kick in
with the annuel deWs. Capital is organized
and far moor effectively than labor can ev-
yer be becawse there air less conflicting
Interests and fewer persuns to consult.
Then the hope of labor must be in organiza-
tion--and thorough and eompetint organ
lzation with offisials to represent them who
will not hand them ovver to the Fillisteens
or emmy boldly else for mess of pottage
Instead Of being at daggurs point labor
and capital ought to be as thick as Senator
Penrose and the Cultured Delegason frum
Georgia at Republican conversion. Both
air organized, but that is not for war
but for profession. Without labor capital
is helpless without capital labor is in the
soup. sNeether can get along without the
uther, and insteed Of making fases at and
trying to bite each uther all the time they
reely ought to be members of the same
lodge.
II there air emmy set Of men in the world
that desurve a fair deel frum the world at
large it is the men who work for there daily
bred. So far as eggislasion is conserned il
Is the intenson of Congress that they shall
have It, but it is impossibull to adjust ev-
very thing by leggislasion-for veers folks
have been trying to leggislate uther folks
mt Heaven, with but indifferrint success.
The reely gratest thing that has hap.
pened for labor in resent yeers is the
creeason of a Departmint of Labor at the
Nasional Capitol. This Departmint is capa-
bull OF being CRATE benefit to labor if they
will see to it that the Department is not cap
tured BY bunch of Ginks who exploit la
bor for there own persunnel aggrandize.
mint
There is no dangur Of such thing UNI
der the present adminnstrasion-b it is
a cinch that the labor people of the country
will have to keep there eyes open if they
expect to get the full BENNETT to which
they air entitled in the yeers to cum frum
the Departmint of Labor.
If the new Departniint of Labor sue
ceeds in bringing about closer and moor
friendly relasions between the labborring
man and his employer it will confur a CRATE
boon upon sosiety. Under such condisions
strikes will becum less freequint and the
occupasion Of the aggitatur will be gone
and he will have to go to work himself
thus adding to the ranks of those who work.
In spite of all reports to the contrary capi.
tai is for the most part in the hands of hui
man beings. Menny Of them have cold feet
and rusty cast irun casing round there
harts-but they air the minority and can
be forsed into line. The creating of the
new departmint was a step toward slim
part of all that peese and tranquility in tha
home of the laborring man-if the depart
mint Gums up to expectasions We hope il
will Yours trooly.

R0ISTUR FDDITUR: There has al
80. ways been and always will be- [
~ guess, moor or less conflict in this
country between labor and capital. Labor
and capital have a lasting and perminint
crouch against each uther that Arbitrasion
boards and walking delegates and varius
and sundry uther kinds Of aggitaturs and
passifyers cannot reconcile. Labor veews
capital with rocked ribbed suspission; la
Dor is conwnsed that capital is constantly
skeeming and planning to grind down the
wurxing man that they may keep him per-
spring away forever ringing divvidinds
out of the sweat of his brow-also uther
parts of his anatomy. When capital holds
out its hand to labor-labor looks for the
club and a cut in wages. Labor has a stand
ing prejudice against believing emmy thing
capital seys-unless it is proven in court,
in which event they air in favor of recalling
the court.
Capital on the uther hand looks upon
labor as a nessessary but irrepairrabully
, peevish adjunct to bizness. Capital can't
understand why labor ism t willing to work
for living, insteed of joining the Union
in order that prosperity and peese may
rain throughout the country, and thus the
conflict rages-on the one hand is a large
army of horny handed suns of toil-not in
cluding the offisers Of the labor Unions

tween capital and labor. They have tryed
in there feebul way to show the capitalist
that the laborring man, according to the
Constitusion, is free-born American cit
izen whose votes counts at least onse and
sum times three or four times, where they
have censibull electsion managers-in
every electsion. And that sed laborring
man was in the large and palpitating ma
jorrity, and that if he took nosion to stand
togethur and vote togethur, that 1t was pos
sibull for him to have sed capitalist and
polytisian on the rong end of the string
making noise like the goat. All this is
trew, and no one knows it bettur than the
sed capitalist, but the sed capitalist also
knows the laborring man, having maid
spesial study of him and his habits for
yeers, and he knows that it is just about as
reesunabull to suppose that labor will stand
togethur as it is to suppose that Teddy
Roosefelt will kiss Bill Taft next time he
sees him.
