recognition OF a minimum wage prin-
cipIe.
Labor asked for an eight-hour day.
The employers do not approve, or
deny, the request, they state that
hours should be fixed at the point
consistent with the health OF the
worker and his right to an adequate
period Of leisure for rest, recreation,
homelife and acknowledgment" The
failure even to mention the eight
hour day surprised the labor group.
As to collective bargaining, the at
titude pf the employers seems 70 be
that they will deal collectively only
where they are forced TO do 50. Il IS
a point Of view in n-line with American
labor history. Labor knows that its
only salvation Is power, there is no
other route to the confirmation Of rs
rights. That is the underlying reason
for skepticism regarding the confer
enCe. 1t Is the reason. why with
drawal is talked OF by the more radi-
cal members Of the labor delegation.
BY remaining when they know there
is no honest hope Of getting together
on fundamentals, they believe them
selves to be subjected to a species Of
rhetorical attritiOn that damages
their cause before the country.
Difficult For Outsider
II is difficult for the outsider TO un-
derstood this attitude. Organized la
Dor is used to the hostility, or the
indifference Of the public, and has
learned to fight its own battle.
Labor feels that IL has endured the
subordinatiOn Of wOril-that is. de-
nial Of its proper Importance in the
general fabric Of life-altogether too
long. It believes that nobody appre- |
ciates the manual worker at his true
worth, highly paid in many cases. as /
he Is. Only when he ceases work. or /
goes on strike, is his true Importance /
brought home TO the average Ameri- /
can who manages TO extract a living /
In nonprOduCtive and semiparasitica [
occupations. It is the assumption OF 1
the latter type Of American that as /
q matter of course. all the good /
things Of life belong to him. and that
anything is good enough for the mil /
lions who do the real work Of the
world that has brought labor to the /
point Of revolt and defiance.
