WEALTH AND WORKING HOURS.

There seems to be curious superstition among many
people that work is limited thing that there is only so
much work in the world and it must be divided up so that
every man will have fair share That idea and not the
desired leisure and comfort is at the root of many de-
mands for shorter working days.
Occasionally in some industry, for a limited time,
this may be true But in general the work dOne the
there is to do Production feeds upon production
If all the builders busy full time and full wages they
make full work for all grocers and hoemakers and furn
ture workers and everyone else who helps make life
Portable for the builders family And the shoemakers
prosper they make work in turn for the builders and
the world moves on.
Where the working doy is so long as to produce ex-
cessive fatigue, that the does not have time to
eOme back" properly before the next days work. the eff
fort to produce largely defeats its own end Men who
have time for proper rest and recreation after toll so that
they face each day fresh and hopeful are the only work
worth having in any trade But to reduce hours for
the sake of having enough work to 90 around is sure
way to make hard times
Just now the whole world is "in hole" because of
the waste of What is needed everywhere in order
to put the world its feet is hard work and more of it.
If every man and woman in America would deliberately
determine to increase his output five per cent for six
months the tide Of business could be turned in the drec
ton of sound prosperity.
1t need not be the same output. Making garden is
one way-maldng over clothes is another But Just as
the saving of food up to each person. and the fng
personal savings when added ran into millions of tons
just the little extra work of kind by every citizen
would start all the wheels to whzzing
Produce little more today!
