The Evening Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1917-1920, 1918-12-17
BROTHERHOOD IN INDUSTRY

The spirit of brotherhood is a sore
need in the field of industry, and out
of this war is already coming new
phase of mems relations to one anoth-
er that is hoped will make itself felt
in the industrial world.
In the early days of industry, the
owner of a plant or business also
discharged the functions of the board
of directors and the officers. There
were but few employees and it often
happened that they had been brought
up from childhood with the owner, had
perhaps attended the same school and
had called him by his first name.
In modern industry instead of a
few employees the workmen are num-
bered by the thousands. They work
under foremen and never come in con-
tact with the real heads of the con-
Germ. Instead of brotherhood there
is developed distrust. bitterness and
strife.
Often the conclusion is reached that
labor and capital are enemies, but
they are in truth partners. Their in
terests are common interests and nei-
ther can get along without the other.
Capital must supply the machinery,
the tools and the working capital, but
these are powerless without labor.
In this war instead of any bullying,
overbearing attitude of officers toward
the men, there has been a spirit of
comradeship. The love of a captain
of some other officer has been the
cause of many a soldier risking and
perhaps losing his life on the battle
field. They have shared equal dan
gers and equal discomfOrts and so
a mutual bond has been established
that will have a marked effect upon
the method of conducting business
and social relations in the days to
come.
In the Red Cross work that has
been done during the war one sees
the society woman, the cook, the shop
girl, the stenographer sitting side by
side at the same table dressed in
the same uniform, and the question
comes up Which does the best and
most work?" That person who does
the most is the most highly regard
ed, whether from the top or bottom
of the social ladder.
Man can no longer live to himself
nor can a nation. There was a time
when even neighboring countries
were remote from each other but that
day has passed. Lines of communica-
tion have been established, trade re-
lations have been established and the
world has become unit.
There are questions that arise con-
stantly which involve the life of sew
eral countries, that can only be dealt
with in accordance with the golden
rule of do as you would be done by"
The vital questions of the day call
for patience, lenience and human
kindness, and all of these summed up
are the spirit of brotherhood.

FIGHTS ALCHOLOL WITH SUGAR
Y.M.C.A. Pushes Sale of Candy to
Soldiers In France.

One of the most important things
the YMC.A. expects to do during the
mobilization period is to enter into
active competition with the French
wine shops. No, the Red Triangle is
not going into the Saloon business.
1t is planning to fight alcohol with
sugar. According to medical experts.
this is the best kind of medicine to
to use.
Heavy drinkers don't care for su-
gar and heavy consumers of sweets
usually pass up the booze" So by
plying. the soldiers with candy, choco-
late and cookies, the YM.C.A expects
to reduce the consumption of alchOlol
very materially.

position; Denver Postoffice EN-
ployes Are Much Pleased.

Denver postoffice employees, clerks,
carriers and railway clerks are highly
elated over the news coming from
Washington this week. A pay increase
of Is per cent for all employees in the
postal service was approved by the
Senate committee. Action was taken
on report by subcommittee ap-
pointed to revise the postoffice appro-
priation bill.
The increase does not apply to post
masters of the first, second or third
classes, but obtains in the case of
fourth class postmasters deprived of
credit for stamp cancellations.
The increases were declared to be
necessary to meet the increased cost
of living due to the war.
'Postoffice employees have not had a
wage increase for ten years. Recently
a systematic campaign has been waged
thruout the country by the carriers,
clerks and railway postoffice employees

tho this movement will prove success
ful. Little opposition is expected to
