CAPITAL AND LABOR

@NE of those who heard Magnus
Alexander address the Harris
~ burg Chamber of Commerce the
other day on workmen's COM
pensation leaned over to q friend dur
ing the course of Mr.. Alexander's
speech and said: "He talks like q
labor union leader" Yet nothing could
be farther from Mr.. Alexander's call
ing-he being Il representative of one
of the biggest of very big businesses;
in short, social welfare manager for
the General Electric Company. It
was not that the speaker was intent
on voicing the sentiments of labor that
gave rise TO the remark quoted, but
that labor leaders and industrial lead
ers have come to think as one on many
subjects affecting both employer and
employe.
Something like a quarter of CEN
tury ago a number of manufacturing
concerns in Germany, subsidized by a
paternal government, introduced i'm
proved methods of lighting, heating
and keeping clean their work rooms,
and installed. lunch rooms, rest rooms
and emergency hospitals Houses at
low rental, parks, Fairgrounds, lee
lures and industrial insurance were
subsequently added. These were call
ed Wohlfahrts- -Einrichtungen, or "wel-
fare stations"
Since then America, as well as Ger
many. has learned that the promo
ton of the physical, the moral and the
mental welfare of employees and their
families is actually matter of profit
to the employer.
If the workman is regarded and
treated as an automaton, poor quality
work, ill-will. disagreements and
strikes will follow, all of them entail
ing far more expense than the main
tanning of effective welfare depart
ments. 1t has been found If the work
man is treated as fellow worker by
the employer he will be. apt to con-
duct himself as such, and by interest
in his occupation there results inn
provement in workmanship, greater
celebrity and a consequent increase of
production.
This is the theory upon which Mr..
Alexander and others of his craft base
their work and mayhaps at times he

passing" says a dispatch
- from Washington.
By all means, let it pass.
Far be it from us to put anything in
its way. Fact of the matter is, we
believe most people would be willing
10 give er push. If it were necessary.
The Democratic administration is
out to-day with a column article re-
lating the accomplishments of the ses-
sion. Actually one might infer there
from that those who have been re-
sponsible for the long drawn agony
that has passed for continuous con-
gressional session for the last two
years are actually proud Of the things
they have perpetrated upon a suffer-
ing public.
However, there is a noticeable alb
sence of anything referring to the
frightful condition into which the
Democrats have plunged the indus
tries, the business people and the
working people of the country. They
are still blaming those terrible Repub-
licans who preceded them in Office and
the European war. Likewise there is a
deep silence with relation to the pork
barrel extravaganza that has turned
a big surplus into a deficit in the ma
tional treasury and the necessity of
raising revenues by war tax to
meet the heaviest expenditures in the
history of the United States, imposed
by an administration pledged to econ
omy one looks in vain, also, for some
fulfillment of the principal plank in
the platform upon which Woodrow
Wilson and his colleague were elected,
that which solemnly promised re-
duction in the high cost of living.
And so. in bidding good-by to Con-
gress to-day, we do so in the words of
Joseph Addison, who makes one of his
characters say under somewhat similar
sad circumstances:
"Once more farewell.
If e'er we meet hereafter, we shall
meet
In happier climes and on safer
shore"

BE GLAD

Has refused to jump the fee.
All those folks who have ice boxes
On the back porch to save dough
VIII be glad to have this cold spell
I No need to buy ice, you know.
Countries now at war in Europe
Will be glad when it shall cease.
And Wen all be glad if they will
Hasten to a state of peace.

But to cut it short, look round you
There's something to make you glad.

The Dollars We Get
andGiive

Some one has said that the
dollars we get are small but the
dollars we spend are always
large.
And the lesson seems to be
"Get your moneys WORTH"
This means buying with
knowledge OF goods, markets and
prices.
And the great business edu-
Gator is the advertising in daily
newspapers.
And the further lesson Is to
"Get what you ask fOr,S
When you call for a definite
article by name. remember 1t
is your money you are spending.
Don't take a substitute, and
shun the storekeeper who ha-
bitual1y offers things Just as
good"

PEOPLE WITH THE GOVERNOR

IT was not necessary for Governor
Brumbaugh to remark late yester-
day that he was satisfied that the
people of Pennsylvania are with
him in his local option fight. The ac-
ton of mass meetings, of churches, of
organizations for social advancement
land civic betterment, the numerous
kilograms and letters being received
at the Capitol endorsing the Cover
nor's stand indicate the way public
opinion is going.
AS the Telegraph has pointed out,
local option is bound to come, and
Pennsylvania, the leader In so many
things ought to be found in the front
rank of all movements for temperance.
1t would mean so much for her pro-
ductive capacity, to say nothing of
improvement of moral conditions.
People are commencing to realize this.
They see that Governor Brumbaugh
has taken the right stand.
The Governor considers that he was
elected to do things. and as he is given
strength he proposes to do them.
The people of Pennsylvania are vitality
concerned in the outcome of the local
option fight and they are lining up be-
hind the Governor.

CITY Ouie
Sword Given TO Command,

At the card party of the Woman's
of one of the ladies caught fire from a
wax candle on one of the tables and
was totally destroyed. 1t was fortn-
nately removed from her head before
any injury was done to the owner.
There was no damage except TO the
hat. The loss Is estimated at $25 by
the owner. Her friends say the estf-
mate is terribly exaggerated.
The Columbia Daily News says that
one thing the bakers can do for the
people If the price of wheat goes up is
to enlarge the size of the hole in the
doughnut.
Uncle Ben Barnstraw, aged gentle
man of color, Coatesville, is noted for
the hardness of his skull having been
kicked six or eight times in the head
by irate and malicious mules without
any really distressing effects The
other day Uncle Ben was riding on the
train from his home town to Philadel-
phia. and he persisted in keeping his
head out of the window. The brake
man touched him on the shoulder and
said:
Better keep your head inside, Uncle
Ben"
"Ah guess ah kin look outa the win
der If ah wants tuh" grunted Ben.
II know you can" warned the brake
man. "but If you knock a piece of iron
work off the bridges, by jimminy, you'll
pay for it."

ELIMINATING FROM HARRasBURG

few people not in very close touch
with local industrial conditions
= appreciate the influences that
radiate to all points of the COM
pass from Harrisburg. The Practical
Magazine of Efficient Management, a
much studied authority on that sub
ject, gives credit to the Elliott-Fisher
Company for exercising a tremendous
influence upon the mercantile ac-
counting of the entire world. Dis
cussing the subject of bookkeeping by
machinery, the magazine mentioned
says:
1t is probably true that Elliot
Fisher is entitled to more credit for
the missionary work of developing
machine methods for bookkeeping
than any other influence. OF
course. adding. machines were in
use, but not for the purpose of
keeping a complete set of books
and office records. The addition
of registers. to the Ellitt-Fisher,
skill of the company in devising
systems and forms, marks an epoch
in the business world which will
be recognized more fully in the fu-
ture.
Right here at our doors has been de-
veloped an industry that is fast dis
placing the bent back bookkeeper on
his three-legged stool for the alert
operator of a machine that does in
half day what half dozen or more
men required formely whole day to
do. And, what is more, the machine
kept ledger comes down to the end OF
the month with all of its items and its
balances mathematically correct and
readily proved. The effect of this has
not been to throw out of work a large
number of bcokkeepers and their as
sistants, as might appear, but to en-
able their employers to turn the salar-
les of this force from a mere over
head charge into payment for really
productive work. The bookkeeper is
never n producer save in q relative
sense and in exceptional instances, and
in most cases his work is regarded as
necessary evil. Reducing the num-
ber of the accounting force and add
ing this number of employees to The
producing part of the business, not
only cuts down overhead expenses, but
adds materially to the profits. So it
may be readily seen what a great
work is being done at the Elliott
Fisher plant for the promotion of eco
nomical principles throughout the
whole business world; for the product
of this factory is sold not only in
but wherever up-to-date busi-
ness principles have weight with
manufacturers and managers of mer-
camille establishments the world
around.
