LABOR FAMINE HAS A VALUE

SAN FRANCISCO-The Bulletin of
this city is not Mortified at the pros
poets of labor famine, which some
good people are fearful of because Of
the European war The editor pre-
sents his views thusly:
"A shortage in unskilled labor will
be one of the most fortunate things
that can possibly happen to this cOun.
try. In late years our gravest troubles,
and our most glazing injustices, have
arisen from an oversupply Of labor.
The federal labor law is no longer a
commodity, but in practice it has been
frankly regarded as such. The go
ing wage and not the living stand
ard has been the test of what a la
borer should receive. In the great
eastern industries races whose stand
ards of living were rising have been
successfully replaced by newer, more
ignorant immigrants, who would be
content with less. Some great indus
tries are literally parasites upon the
incoming immigrants.
THE statistics of unemployment are
as yet very incomplete, but those in
existence indicate that there is a con
slant labor surplus, which is not en-
tirely absorbed, even in the most pros
porous times In slack times the sur
plus increases. When it becomes too
great to be ignored there is a brief
furry of public interest, with spor-
adic public and private charity, and
other symptoms. The point to remem-
Der is that most employers of un.
skilled, unorganized labor pay each
wOrkingman a wage determined by
the presence of unemployed working
men who would be glad to take his
job. BY this system wages are con.
tinually kept down, and as wages are
low the standard of living also is
low. And low standards are a menace
to the nation, counterbalanCed only
by the limited convenience and profit
derived by employers of cheap labor
Cheap labor makes a cheap and un-
free nation, inasmuch as the great
bulk of the people are included under
the head of labor, and must gain or
lose as working people gain or lose.
The existence Of labor surplus,
with its accompanying symptom of
low wages, has another result which
should appeal even to the money
minded Cheap labor is a brake on
mechanical progress. Muscles take
the place of skill and brains. But as
soon as mems time and strength are
valued at something approaching their
real worth there is a tendency to eX-
|pand their power by inventions. And
in almost every respect a nation
which has developed a privileged EN-
'ploying class, and an abundant I'M
privileged laboring class-as we are
on the way to do the moment we be
gin to tolerate a chronic labor surplus
lis bound to stagnate and to harden
into something like a caste system.
american Iaborers may hope for as
great a gain if the artificial scarcity
caused by the war is prolonged, as it
should be, by wise immigration laws.
If immigration is intelligently re
stricted some of the economic evils of
the day will cure themselves without
