 Dr. Friedrich Adler. editor of Der Kampf, said. Economically it is our death sentence. We are relegates to the role of a colony and forced to de- clare our bankruptcy immediately"

Vice President Marshall is much
given to touching lightly and humor-
ously on the affairs of life, but he is
not speaking jokingly when he says
that the real evil which we are con-
fronting today is the high cost of leos-
ure. He admits smilingly that he Is
himself one of the LATEST of men, but
ne "begs the thoughtful consideration
OF younger men who have the good of
the republic at heart seriously to con-
slider the problem as to whether the
only way in which to meet the in
creasing difficulties of American life
is not by additional striving to pro-
duce more, to earn more, to econom-
ize more, and to save more. IL
Is the Vice President not right in
his theory? 1t looks sometimes as IL
the whole laboring world were strug-
Cling for shorter hours of work, with
equal or greater pay for the reduced
time; and the laboring world includes
not only those who toll heavily at ex-
hausting manual pursuits, but those
who are in innumerable lighter oc-
cupation that make little drain on
mind or body. All wish to work less
and play more. Many take the at
titude that work is an evil to be evad-
ed as much as possible-a necessary
evil, perhaps, but one from which it
lis desirable to escape.
Once the customary days work"
was twelve hours. That was said to
be too long and was reduced to ten,
then to nine, then to eight. Eight
hours is the official day of labor now
in majority of trades and in many
other occupations. In addition, in
many cases is Saturday half holi-
day. Already the radicals are prepar-
ing to shorten the working days still
more and talk grandly of six and even
four hours as a sufficient time for
men to labor.
No reasonable person desires to see
men toll too laboriously. Twelve
hours a day steadily may be too
much; ten hours may be too much;
there may be occupations in which
eight hours cause too great "a strain.
1t depends on the character Of the
WORT. The need of every man for
The Lakeland evening telegram., 1919-09-25
THE COST of LEISURE.


healthful amount of leisure and rest
must be considered That need has
been put forward with every reduc-
tion of time, but has any one ever
shown to what extent the average
man has profited by his increased
leisure? Assuming that this average
man who works eight hours also
sleeps eight hours, what does he do
with the free third of his time that
has benefited him more than the
shorter freedom that went with his
twelve-hour day?
II he has profited by that addition
al time of his own, then he has proved
the value of his argument. But has
he done so? Sometimes it seems as
if the greater the leisure and the
higher the wages, the greater the
restlessness and discomfort The old
time interest and pride of the artisan
in his trade seems largely to have
vanished. Once the stone cutter, the
carpenter, the brick layer fingered
over his task, anxious to see a nice
bit of it develop under his hand He
did not count his minutes even though
he was working for another man. The
old cathedrals of Europe, with their
wonderful carvings, were built by
common workmen" Today no ordi-
nary stone cutters do such work.
They have not cared enough for their
craft to learn.
The real work of the world must be
done by men who do not count their
minutes lest they labor one too long.
Successful men in every line of lie
have an interest beyond their wages
in the work they are doing. They
have right to an honest and suffi-
cient wage, but they are not doing
justice to themselves, to their en-
ployers or to the world they live in
when they do as little as they can
and not as much. What is true of
men who work for others is true of
those who are in independent occu-
pations. 1t is for them also, as the
Vice President says, to strive to
produce more, to earn more, to save
more. In a sense the cost of living
is problem for every man to work
out for himself The cost Of leisure
may be too heavy.
