CAPITAL AND LABOR

r HE CALL for conference by President
1 Wilson with the leaders of capital and
labor will bring about a clearer understanding
of what ought to be done to save civilization
from anarchy.
1t is the aim of the president to have labor
and capital cooperate in the solution of our
economic questions.
The union has called upon labor and capital
to get together and draw up some plan by
which industrial peace may be made secure, and
we are glad to note that step has been made
by the president toward carrying out program
which has been advocated by The Unionist since
its inception.
The Unionist realized that if there was
hearty cooperation in Industry between en-
ployer and employee it would result in greater
efficiency and greater efficiency would mean
increased production, which means greater
prosperity for all concerned.
In the past the workers had nothing to gain
by increased production, in fact, it worked out
to their disadvantage, often resulting in thou
sands of men being laid off when the ware
houses were filled to capacity, and no market
Z could be secured.
With labor receiving just share of the
profits of industry, the workers interest in his
Job will assume a new Importance and his atti-
employer will undergo great change. The
identity of interests will stand out so plain that
no red" or other color or brand of fanatic will
be able to convince them to the contrary.
Secretary of Labor Wilson, in his address to
the delegates attending the American Fedora
ton of Labor convention, said:
employers and the employees have mutual
interest in securing the largest possible produc-
ton with given amount Of labor, having due
regard to the health safety, rest recreation and
improvement of the workers.
"These being safeguarded the larger the
amount produced the larger the amount to d-
vide If there is nothing produced, there will
te nothing to divide"
The secretary goes to the bottom Of things
in his quest for the cause of unrest among the
workers, and points to the solution.
Heretofore many employers have taken ad-
vantage of the unorganized workers through
bonus and pecework and speeding-up systems,
which frequently resulted in physical break
downs or premature death to thousands of
workers.
n The slave-driving systems of such factories
Was the breeding ground of |. w. w ism and
anarchy.
Organized labor has to large extent elm
mated such conditions in America and the mod
ern manufacturer has ceased to look for speed
manacs to drive his employees to physical de-
structon and anrchy.
The worker is an asset to the community
His death or physical ruin is a great loss, not
only to the community but to industry as we'll
AS worker, he can produce far more wealth

Washington, ID. C.-Ekaterinoslav,
where the Bolsheviki evacuation was
accompanied by wholesale executions of
more than a thousand citizens, accord
ing to reports which have just reached
the United States, is the subject of the
following bulletin from the Washington
headquarters of the National Geograph-
ic Society:
"Once there stood on the banks of the
Dnieper, some 65 miles southwest of
Moscow, and just above the deep fis-
sures and whirling rapids of the region
where that river struggles through
granite barriers, a Polish castle. The
Cossacks destroyed it.
"a hundred years later toward the
end of the eighteenth century, another
castle stood there, which had much to
do with the history of Ekaterinoslav and
with Russia itself. Until the beginning
of the World War that castle still was
standing and was used as palatial club
