NJ. Schwab the statement that labor is
going to rule the industrial world and
that labor will insist upon and will
have a greater share Of what 1t works
for and earns.
III it is true that labor is going to
control. and | can believe It IS true. we
cannot begin to trust each other too
soon we cannot too soon be prepared
Tor this coming test which is Fastening
upon US.
WHAT is the remedy The capitalist
must have confidence in labor, and here
is where you come in; the laboring man
must have confidence in capital. This
may appear 70 some Of you as a big
proposition, but ] do not think Il Is as
bis as il might appear TO you.
This war has demonstrated the value
OF labor. The strut and pose Of the
harbarous mlltarlst appear like the
height Of absurdity when you remember
that he is dependent entirely iorevery-
thing, even his courage. on the humble
worker in the mine in the forge, in the
mill, in the furrow, or at the case.
II labor Is coming 10 control or to
largely direct, remember the response
hilitv which is going to rest upon you.
We cannot use the word classes in this
country: the word IS obnoxious TO us.
n the laboring man is going to control
and direct he will have TO bear the re-
sponsibility for failure
III there is going to be a changed
social order. with labor having the last
word. or nearly the last word, remem-
Der that 70 will have to be as good or
better than what It supersedes. ] am
an optimist who could not believe that
anything but good can come to us
out Of any possible change, but do
think we need to set rid Of some old
delusions and superstitions. The way
10 do this is to insist on knowing w.
man who will be insistent on his neigh
bor's rights cannot be deprived Of his
own rights.
'There can be no irreconcilable con-
fict between capital and labor There
cannot be a line Of cleavage between
them which cannot be brldged.
in the coming social order which
VIII emerge from the war | see capi-
talists regarding their employees as men,
not as machinery, and I see the capi-
talists having faith and confidence In
their men because they are men as well
IS themselves. And in this new social
order / see the worker having conf
dence In his employer: in fact. see all
men working for the mass as II 10 was
one man"
David snellenburg spoke Of the ne
cessily Of capital and labor standing
together. not only ot this time, but al
ways He believed the success OF one
depended upon the success Of the other
and pleaded for broader bond Of
sympathy between the two.

child OF the nation TO Join In the thrift
compaign He held up the French peO-
pie as most frugal. He asked the full
cooperation Of the local typographical
union in helping with the savings
