The Foolish Fifty
By Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

If fifty men did al 1.-The work
And gave the price to FIVE,
And let those five make all the rules
You'd say the fifty men were fools,
Unfit to be alive.
And if you heard complaining cries
From fifty brawny men,
Blaming the five for graft and greed,
Injustice, cruelty indeed
What would you call them then!
Not by their own superior force
Do five on fifty live,
But by election and assent
And privilege and government
Powers that the fifty give.
If fifty men are really fools,
And five have all the brains,
The five must rule as now we find;
But if the fifty have the mind
Why don't they take the reins?

for increased wages, it is because the
railroads themselves have made that the
alternative.
About Increased Wages.
1--WE have been told by the railroads
that there have already been considerable
percentages of wage increase to the
train operatives in the past few years.
percentage of wage increase depends on
what you start with. If you start with
suchfa miserable low wage that man
and his wife and children cannot live on
it, even with the practice of the strictest
economy. then it takes but precious little
increase to make good percentage
showing. And not only that, but such
increases as have been granted, have been
absorbed by the lengthening of trains and
the greater amount of work put upon
the men. Let the wages be placed on n
fair and equitable basis to start with and
then it will ,be time enough and fair
enough to talk about percentages of wage
increases"
