OF CAPITAL AND LABOR

We hear great deal these days about the cir
lrepressibe conflict between capital labor. as
il there strict line of demarcation between
them. There is no such thing. Each is essential
to the other and neither function without the
other. Instead of discord there should be the
greatest harmony between them. If capital should
be destroyed labor would be reduced to harsh con-
.ditions: il labor should cease to work capital
would lie idle in it's strong boxes and avail its
owner nothing. These truths evident they
are automatic. 1t should not be tc state
them to any intelligent mind. Why then should
there be any conflict between them? Working
together in harmony they can move the world; ;
working against each other with doubt and sus-
picion and jealousy between them, progress is
possible.
The Tampa Times says: Nor is there any
strict line Of demarcation between them The la
borer OF today may be the capitalist of tomorrow.
II he is worth anything laborer, he has a
laudable ambition to better his condition Such
laborers few years ago were Henry Ford, Charles
F. Schwab, Thomas A. Edison. and Andrew Car
negie. and hundreds of others who might be men
toned The moment a laborer begins to his
wages and invest them in a home. he becomes
capitalist to the extent Of his savings. If he
hires a tramp to clean up his dooryard while he
draws his big wages at the mill factory, to
that tramp he is a capitalist. Nine-tenths of the
capitalists of today recruited from the ranks
of labor. Very few Americans are born with sill
in their mouths. and it is an axiom that
there but three generations from shirtsleeves
to shirtsleeves. which that the of
capitalist may yet be glad to enroll in the ranks
of labor.
Another fallacy is that capital consists of cash
in hand The who has buildings and land.
and tools and equipment and credit is capi-
talist, although he may have very little ready
cash at his command. He has the means, to con-
vert the labor of his hands, and that of other
hands. into the coin of the realm. He is a capi-
talist. but necessarily enemy of labor. 1t is
worth while for both capital and labor to be mu-
tually conciiatory instead OF antagonistc In that
way alone prosperity for both lies Capital must
be just and generous to labor. and labor must
be square and honest with capital.
