Success is based on service rather
than seltishness, DR.. A. Sheldon, noted
economist declared in an lecture at
the GOODWIN institute Friday night, in
which he blamed the present Industrial
unrest upon the selfishness of both
employers and employees. "Tho old law
that the survival of the fittest Is the
survival of the most selfish, is not true"
he said. Those who render the most
service to society are they who sur
yive, he argued.
The two selfish and conflicting max
inns Of employer and employe--"pay
Just as little as you can and get as
much out of him as you cam" for the
former; and, DO as little as you can
