JUSTICE TO LABOR

Henry Ford has been lauded by
some as a great benefactor to the
laboring men because he recently
raised their wages, all of which is
an illusion. If Mr.. Ford can con-
tinue to make millions, and he un-
doubtedly can, he deserves no great
credit for paying decent living
wage to those who daily bend their
backs in his sweat-shops to grind
out more millions for him. If ito
the victor belongs the spoils," then
to labor belongs a part of the pro-
fits-at least to the extent OF a wage
that will provide him with more
than bare living.
Secretary of Commerce Redfield
said in speech at Atlantic City:
Beware of the temptation to lay
rash hands upon wages. Concentrate
thought, purpose and effort on out
put. Find and seize hold of all that
science has said or can say concern
ing industry. 1t was largely because
Germany made her industries the
operating end of her science that her
commerce grew so fast and powerful
in the years before the great war
It was more German science than
German wages that made her compe-
tition dangerous. The responsive
power Of we'll paid and contentet
labor to far-sighted leadership in In
dustry is the greatest force in pro
duction, and happy are they VIII,
have 1t behind them"
Reference is meant only to thos,
great mining and manufacturing in
dustries in the United States, wher
It has heretofore been the custom
and rule to pay the men who dali
stripped themselves to the waist an
toiled like mules to pile up fortune
for their employers, including sue
men as were John D. Rockefelle
.| s4
and Andrew Carnegie. 1t was nc
Carnegie's money, but the none
produced by his thousands OF en-
ployes that made It possible to e,
tablish so many Carnegie libaries
tablish so many Carnegie libraries
deserves credit for such work, b,
had It not been for that army OF toi
ers, many of whom lived in mel
novels, he never would have bee
able to make his spread-eagle di
play of philanthropy.
But again coming back to Hem
Ford: There is no humane reaso
why wages should be rigidly held
a level that will make one ms
worth hundred millions dolla
within few short years while ii
multitude toll for an existence. L

manner in which Cuthbert w. Court

Rev. Melville T. Wire,
Grants Pass, Oregon.
Ny Dear Brother Wire:
I had the pleasure, this morning
of meeting one OF your loyal friends
and parishoners, Cuthbert W. Court
ney, who is fighting his way back to
health and strength. though 1t has
been a fierce conflict. He was sew
erely wounded as you know, In one
of the engagements. His was a
thrilling and heroic experience for
which he has recently been cited
and his name placed on the honor
roll. It seems that he was in the
signal service and was in company
with the captain and five others
when the shell struck the place
where they were temporarily locat-
ed. with headquarters. Cuthbert
was at the time at the telephone,
and while the captain and all in
this place were wounded, he was the
most severely hurt, but refusing to
leave his post, he managed to call
up the telephone for the captain, al
though he was wounded in both legs
badly, and in his left shoulder
When the ambulance came he want
ed the captain to be taken first but
the captain insisted that as Cuth
bert was wounded more than tn'
Irest, he should be moved first. III
does not know what became OF th'
captain. | think it has been l.
weeks now since the engagement
and it may be months before he, vii
: be recovered. His spirit is fines ant
. brave. He speaks so cheerfully o
the future and of the Homecoming
Your letter was a comfort to him
/ read it and enjoyed with him you
experience with the trout fishing
: His face lighted as he told me JUS
. where you we're on the river. l ar
sure such letters cheer him and tax
his thought from his present sui
roundings.
He is an earnest Christian and er
joyed talking with me of his churc
relations and his love for Christ.
I am myself a Methodist preache
n and know something Of how yo
must feel to have such fine loy'
lad as this away from the churc
= home.
Very sincerely and fraternally,
