FORBES WRITES
On CAPITAL
AND LABOR
Employers Seem to Be Getting
More Reasonable Toward
the ProIetariat.
BY 3. G. FORBES.


"AFe your sympathies with the
rich or with the poor, with capital
or with Iabor?" is the question put
me by reader.
My a. :hies" are not governed
by the a mans bank account
or by ,ation.

Of their riches, and long ago
learned that a poor man of the right
stamp can be happier than a king or
q plutocrat.
My questIonsr really wanted to
know Whistler ! hsbItuaIIy supported
capital or labor. To that ! must
replyi Neither" Ny experience
Is that capital sometimes is in the
right and that labor is sometimes in
the wrong.
Il Is human nature to sympathize
with the under dog" Labor used

Variably favored labor. But latterly
organized labor, and more especially
professional labor leaders, have oeea-
slonally resirted to arbitrary acts,
to brute force, to unfair methods.
They have sought to take undue ad-
vantage of their newly won power.
They have not always had regard for
Justice. They have not always eonsd-
cred tho interests, the comfort, the
safety Of the public. Having become
the upper dog" in certain cases they
have abused their position.
Let labor keep ever in mind that
public sympathy goes out to the
"under dog" OF late the public has
TOO often been the "under dog" A
revuIsion against autoeratie labor ag-
itators is inevitable If unfair tactics
are pursued.
In this column humble efforts have
been made to bring about a better
understanding between capital and la
Dor, a clearer appreciation of the fact
that enormous riches are not to be
snvied, and a realization on the part
of employers that they must treat
their employees humaneIy, consider
stely and generously. Too much class
hatred is being stirred up. Men hold
ing the very highest offices in the Re-
public are as guilty in this oonnee-
ton as the most rabd Industrial
Worker leader. Nothing is to be
gained by fostering insensate class
amnesty. Much may be lost If il is
carried much farther.
Ny own experience and obserVa-
ton are that capitalists and en-
ployers are becoming reasonable in
their attitude toward labor and to-
ward the public. They are realizing
that we are all human beings, that
we are all in the same boat, that we
are all made Of the same orumbIing
clay, that life is short and the grave
never far of. that happiness is not
the product of seIfishnsss, that SER
vice is nobler than mere gain-that,
IN short, the only life worth while is
that founded on justice, sympathy,
moderation and brotherliness. To be
worth playing, the game has to be
played fair.
