The speaker took a shoe as an Illus

slaughter houses, then to the tanners
and finally to the shoe manufacturing

understood that there are siXty-four
different operations performed in the
making of a shoe and also said that
the miners, timber cutters and others,
who get out the products for the man
ufacture of the shoemaking machin-
cry, must also be considered.

sibility was to the stockholders, to

he added IF the employer and en-
ployes all sat down around the coun-
Gil table and worked out their prob
lems.'
Difference in Men and Machinery.
In speaking of the work done by
men and that of machines, Secretary
Wilson said that when a machine
breaks down it can be repaired at
some cost, but that when a workman
nothing THE working power or
breaking strain of machinery can be
determined he said, but the working
power or breaking strain of the en-
ploye cannot be determined.'
