But the revolutionary change has

A WISER LABOR POLICY

The most significant development of the work, ac-
cording to the Henry Clews weekly review, was the set
back to the radical labor element and the resumption Of
more conservative Leadership. 1t is not to be supposed
that labor has surrendered its ambitions or is disposed to
reltnquish any of the adlysssptsses # now possesses: but is
WILLINGNESS at President Wilson's request to refrain from
strikes At this time. and to aid rather than hinder a re-
fduction in the cost Of nvipe, i Of itself an important
change for the better. It marks q new and hopeful trend
in the labor movement; an inclination to estabMsh the
rule Of reason instead Of the rule OF force. Labor has
already made very large gains in the direction Of higher
wages and ehorter hours, which it is now commonplace
to say have been an important factor in raising the cost
Of living. Recognition Of these facts had doubtless much
to do With labor's action; and, having gone thus far, the
policy Of reducing output must ALSO give place to a new
policy. that Of incresk1ng the output. Both Prssdeut
Wilson ana Premier Lloyd George, at the risk Of psrsonal
popularity. plainly told their people that the salvation
OF ths world today was work, that the only cure for high
prices was to produce, and that the best antidote for
Worldwide distenper ana unrest was industry and thrift
The United States suffered less and gained more through
the war than any other nation. We can, therefore, well
AFFORD to set other nations q good example. Great Brit
ain. France, Belgium and even Germany are making
, rapid return to the normal; = result that may be gained
sooner than expected. II capital ana labor will simply
pull evenly together, the United States can easily lead
the world in the great work Of uniyersal restoration.
