You know what the hsUaT
standard OF the enploye is in our
day. II is TO give as little as he may
for his wages.
Labor is standardized by the
trade unions and this is the
standard to which 1t is made to con-
form. No one is suffered to do more
than the average workman can do. In
some trades and handicrafts no one
is suffered to do more than the least
skillful OF hts Fellows can do within
the hours allotted to days labor
and no one may work out OF hours at
all or volunteer anything beyond the
minimum
Now, your reported remarks
strike me as being so extraordinary
SO different from what !, as a member
the facts-that l feel impelled to ask
you II the foregoing paragraph is q
correct report OF what you said.
IF you are correctly quoted, I
should like to have you give me your
authority for your statement that. in
labor unions no one is suffered to
do more than the average workman
can do Also give the names OF few
trades or handicrafts where mo one
is suffered to do more than the least
skIllful of his fellows can do within
the hours allotted to a days labor
and no one may work out OF hours al
all or volunteer anything beyond the
minimum.
GAS matter of course a president
of a university of the reputed stand
ing or Princeton would not make
statements In his baccalaureate adj
dress unless he knows, or at least full
ly believes that HIS statements are
true. Therefore 1t ought not be a
difficult matter for you to oblige me
with the names OF these labor unions
whose laws or even policies bring
about the results you specify. Await
ing your reply with lively interest,
am,
