Government Must Recognize
Man with Nothing but
Wages as Opposed to
Man Fighting for Larger
Profits.

the wage-workers faIr treatment. There should
be an increased wage for the worker of in
. creased productiveness. Everything possible
should be done against the capitalist who strives
not to reward special efficiency, but to use it as
an excuse for reducing the reward of moderate
efficiency. The capitalist is an unworthy citi-
zen who pays the efficient man no more than he
has been content to pay the average man, and
nevertheless reduces the wages of the average
man; and effort should be made by the govern
ment to check and punish him. When labor
saving machinery is introduced, special care
should be taken-by the government if neces-
sary-to see that the wage-worker gets his share
of the benefit, and that it is not all absorbed by
the employer or capitalist
A Case in Point
The following case, which has come to nv
knowledge, illustrates what | mean A number
of new machines were installed in certain shoe
factory, and result there was heavy in
crease in production even though there was no
increase in the labor force. Some OF the work
men were instructed in the use of these ma
chimes BY special demonstrators sent out BY the
makers of the machines. These men, by reason
of their special aptitudes and the fact that they
were not called upon to operate the machines
continuously nine hours every day week in and
week out, but only for an hour or so at special
times, were naturally able to run the machines
at their maximum capacity. When these DEM
onStrators had left the factory, and the conf
pany's own employees had become used to oper-
ating the machines at fair rate of speed, the
foreman of the establishment gradually speed
ed the machines and demanded a larger and
still larger output, constantly endeavoring to
drive the men on to greater exertions. Even
with a slightly less than maximum capacity, the
introduction of this machinery resulted in a
great increase over former production with the
same amount of labor; and so great were the
profits from the business in the following two
years as to equal the total capitalized stock of
the company. But not a cent got into the pay
envelopes of the workmen beyond what they had
formerly been receiving before the introduction
OF this new machinery, notwithstanding that it
had meant added strain, physical and mental,
upon their energies and that they were forced
to work harder than ever before. The whole OF
the increased profits remained with the company.
Now this represented an increase of eff
cheney, with a positive decrease OF social and
industrial justice. The increase of prosperity
which came from increase OF production in no
way benefited the wage workers. | hold that
they were treated with gross injustice; and that
society, acting If necessary through the govern
ment, in such a case should bend its energies to
remedy such injustice; and will support any
proper legislation that will aid in securing the
desired end.
