Once upon a time there was a man
who said, II will work no more, and
God will take care of me-" And so he
gave away all he had and sat down to
wait for God to take care Of him.
After awhile he became hungry and
nothing came his way. But in the dis
tance he saw some horses laden with
packs which he knew contained food
to eat. And so he grew so hungry that
he followed them.
Up the hill he toiled, while still in
the distance were the food-laden
horses. They led him a fine march,
and he grew weaker with the hunger.
At last he came near to where the
horses had stopped earlier in the day,
and there he found food that had been
left over.
"This is harder than work." he said.
"and now 1 realize that God will take
care Of the man who is up and doing.

l@NE trouble of those who talk
about the partnership between
~ capital and labor is their lack
of knowledge of how the partnership
is conducted BY those who control
capital. It may be a partnership OF a
certain kind, but where capital makes
all of the rules and insists that this
capital, and labor is forced to accept
these rules without question. the
quality of the partnership established
is not calculated to give satisfactory
