Nor is this confined to the family.
Every step in civilization has been
made possible by those who have been
willing to sacrifice for posterity. Free
dom of conscience and free government
have all been won for the world by
those who were. willing to labor un-
selfishly for their fellows. So we'll es-
tablished is this doctrine that we do
not regard any one as great unless he
recognizes how unimportant his life is
in comparison. with the problems with
which he deals.
I find proof that man was made in
the image of his Creator in the fact
that, throughout the centuries. man has
been willing to die. if necessary. that
blessings denied to him might be en-
joyed by his children. his children's

REGULATION OF
WORKERS WAGES
Senator Works Deplores the Growth
Of the Classes-RIch and
Poor.

| UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON, May 6.-National
and state regulation of the wages to
be paid and the prices to be charged
by business men was the remedy for
greed, poverty and vice prescribed by
Senator Works, of California, in a
speech on the trust problem. He de-
plored the growth of classes-the rich
and the poor-and said that the re-
sponsibility for popular unrest lay up
on the lawmakers who allowed the
masses to remain in misery.
"The ruling class in this country is
the moneyed class" he declared.
Wealth and power and position are
arrayed against the men and women
who labor for livelihood. They look
upon themselves as superior to what
they call the lower classes.
The effective way to overcome
this evil is to eieyate the station of
the wage earners and curb the power
Of the employer class. No better way
occurs in my mind to accomplish this
result, SO far as the making of law is
concerned, than regulation of prices.
wages and hours OF labor
Abiding to the Sherman antitrust
law as having failed to maintain
competition in trade" and giving as
the reason for such failure the fact Of
greed and heartlessness in indus
trial life Senator Works scored the
methods by which great fortunes are
made.
The accumulation of the millions OF
dollars which is now resting in the
hands OF comparatively few people
in this country he said, ''has in the
main been accomplished through the
toll OF the many employees who are
still struggling for mere existence.
The evidence tends to show that in
this country the average wages of wo-
men and children employees in the
large cities does not exceed FIVE dol
lars week. This applies to the de-
partment stores"
In support of his statement that the
charities Of the day have become
"commercialized" and doing perhaps
more than any other thing to make
this nation a country of mendicants
and beggars."
