SHOW GOMPERS AND VAIL.


D for the economic salvation of Great Britain More pro- ducGon is his idea. Make everybody work.
 Samuel Gompers seeks salvation through hour week which will mean job at higher for everybody No job pay envelope and pay way to live
 Theodore N Vail has objections high prices which all right he says, salaries capitalized meet hem People get along better when prices high is the view of this distinguished business
 Each of these speaks truly his standpoint Every body should work There should be production Every body should have good job at high and enough to meet prices Prices would make difference whatever wages simultaneously maintained ata parity without inequality between man and another.
 Only of these gentlemen suggests anything that immediately possible. Everybody ought to work just in times, but what gut there would be if everybody did work what production; what uanties of commodities for which the would not find market
 Mir Shaw will have practical program, until he formu ates the system under which the goods would be dstributed that would be made every worked who could work
 for Vais proposition nobody has yet seriously attempted to euaze and prices by simultaneous ment.
 Prof. Fisher has proposed rational method for making wage dollar follow price dollar He would increase the gold value the dollar fast the price of given number standard commodities Nobody really pays any at tenton to his plan
 Other have proposed variable wage by which base would be increased decreased according to the increase of decrease the prices of list of base commodities consisting of the fundamental things which people mostly sub sist upon
 Nobody pays much attention to this plan Mr. Vail order High prices bad because wages and other compensaions euazed maintain the parity only slowly so that the transition accompanied with veaon and suffering.
 Mr Gompers alone has a method which His fl hour week cuts down productive and makes to people to do the amount of work This prevents labor gu and has the effect of bringing people work To wages keep pace prices the strike Raise the pay of people, Mr Gompers, "or wont work.
 The strike is wasteul but it is better than the poverty to which the market would be forced if employers could cut will and distributors could sell in the highest market Such condition would indeed paralyze industry.
 Mr. Vail believes in high because purchasing is based upon the ability to purchase
 The ideal economic society would be the society in which everybody who physically able does useful and sary work receiving therefor reward which would enable the worker to do his share toward what had made being understood that in should the the worker be beyond his physical powers, ncOn sistent with the preservation of health.
 Mr. Shaw knows what's the matter So does Mir. Vail and Mr. Gomper The world knows how to make goods but does not know how 10 distribute them
 total of the worlds knowledge of distribution may be summed these words: Buy in the lowest and sell in inc highest
 This will 10 be changed. must tc make all inc goods they need and learn how distribute wha they make, without dumping hoarding keeping market the things that needed
