Unrest" Explained at Last
By Wce-President Marshall

Vice President MarshalPs address at
Webash College and Maine University
explains very simply the industrial un-
rest which has puzzled many;
''In 1850 the proportion OF the annual
wealth created in the country by the
Joint Efforts of labor and capital was
one-fourth TO labor and three-tourths
to capital. Sixty years later the pro-
portion had changed to less than one
fifth to labor and more than four-htths
TO capital. This disproporticn, to my
mind, has much TO do with our present
discomfort"
As this discovery was rewarded with
a degree it is bold to challenge It.
But It might be asked whether the re
spective contributions of labor and
capital to the service Of society have
not also altered in similar proportion
TO their rewards II is known that
the rate Of interest has fallen, and It
is obvious how much harder capital
works to get its lesser pay. Before
capitaPs profit became "usurious," as DR..
Marshall calls it, the investment OF cap
ital to unit of output was much smaller,
and while the total of profit has risen
TIE rate Of profit has fallen The enor-
nous profits of capital are due to ag-
greeation Of minute profits. not to
large ratio of profits on scarcity prices.
On the other hand. labor has not IN
creased its efforts. It's hours are shorter
BY the day and more by the year, the
numbers employed we're never larger
wages were never higher and mechanical
forces have supplanted both human and

today labor under incomparably easier
conditions than when Dr. Marshall saws
they we're rcverent and satisfied
Labor's share OF the output of the
Joint efforts OF labor and capital is
greater than the better wages indi-
cate Labor is able 70 buy and enjoy
modern convenicnces which would be
impossible without such contributions
as capital has made. without any cor
responding contribution BY labor. u
labor's hours were longer, or pay worse,

be envious Of "usurious profits" But
how can Dr. Marshall Justify unrest re-
sultine from irrelgion and covetousne--,
and combination 70 secure by conspir-
acv and duress what douhtfullv If at

The doctor is right in saving that the
