Bennett led TO a remarkable discovery,
In his room packed away ready for
shipment to confederate were the
missing goods and everything pointed
to the belief that the unfaithful man

them and possibly other assets of the

Al once Florence telephoned for the
firms lawyer. There was no sleep for
these active workers the rest of that
night. A detective was sent after
Bennett ana he was forced to disgorse
the rest of his plunder.
1t was a strange situation-Florence
giving her hand to Gordon in Il warm,
good-by clasp in the garish light of
the new day. A reflection of the far
off reddening hues of dawn was upon
her fair check, her glance expressed
something more vivid than interest,
and. as their eyes met, their depths
showed mutual love light that time
would giorify into full radiance.

MORE WORK VS.. MORE PAY.

The present disposition of labor or
CARNATIONS to seek relief from the
high cost OF living thru wage increases
leads the national foreign trade coun-
Gil to view with concern the future of
our foreign trade in all parts of the
world. The experience of Great Brit
ain during the last fifty years, it is
pointed out. offers an example % a
similar unsound economic policy, the
fruits of which are now becoming APP
parent. 1t has been the belief of Eng
lish labor that the greater the restric-
ton of output. the greater the number
Of men to be employed. and therefore
the greater prosperity for all. But, re-
stricted production has resulted in
profits so small as to leave no room
for wage increases. The net result has
been underpaid labor and poor work
ing conditions.
In the main, this course has been
unopposed by the British government.
Instead of hitting at the root of the
evil and eliminating restrictions on
output. the policy has been to palliate
social unrest with unemployment and
old-age pensions. The government has
thereby countenanced an economic sit
uation in which increased wages, IL
granted. would lead to no greater pro-
duction and would render the British
manufacturer unable to compete with
other nations in foreign trade
Exceptional war conditions upset all
customs, resulted in huge wage in
creases, but affected only slightly the
old ideas about restriction of output.
So England now finds herself in the
difficult position Of trying to sell goods
abroad in competition with foreign ma
lions. when the labor costs of pro-
duction have been enormously in
creased with but little compensatine
increase in output. To add to her diff
ficulties, the payment of recent "un-
employment doles" has served only to
make the state of unemployment at
tractive rather than otherwise, and
has seriously weakened the will to
work" of the Industrial population.
II the foreign markets OF the world
in many lines of goods are not to be
lost to the United States in the future,
says the Trade Council. two things are
obvious: Increased production is a
condition precedent to all increases OF
pay and decreases of working time;
the policy OF our government must be
modelled more along lines which keep
maximum production in view than on
any system OF benefits tending to make
labor less self-dependent. or on any
theory OF decreased hours OF work de-
signed fallaciously to provide work foI
more people. but in reality resulting
in more pay for the same number OF
workers.
Workers should ponder these things
lest they themselves kill the goose
that lays he golden esq.
