"Unc1e Joe" Cannon PHILOSOPHERS
On Problem of Capital and Labor

$50. we have machines able to do
as much work as twenty-five times
our entire population and seventy
times as much as our industrlal
population. and still have work for
all who will work. This industrial
development in this country repre-
sents cooperation. willing co-opera-
ton and good d-will-co-operatio OF
men and machinery, t"o-the man
learning to manage the machine
and the machine responding to the
intelligent direction of the man.
The men who invented the machines
and developed them have their cap
ital there and many of these men
also operate the machines, for many
industrial concerns have the en-
ployes as stockholders and part
owners to make the cooperation
complete. They make the products.
sell them and apportion the sales
money to wages, upkeep of the plant
and interest on the investment.
X X X X
II think Mr.. Gompers' co-opera-
tion and goodwill suggestions SO
pertinent shat l wonder why he or
any other man should think that this
cooperation can be transferred by
both sides to an outsider or out
siders, however wise they may be,
or however altruistic.
Cooperation that includes all
the world, the Christian and the
infidel, the pagan and the savage,
is all very we'll for the idealism of
the brotherhood of man, but it is
too idealistic for the settlement of
strikes or the practical handling of
the manufacture of necessities by
one group of workers and the use
of them by another group. I prefer
to leave that kind of cooperation to
the preachers and utopians. Real
cooperation to be practical must be
more or less localized to the men
who must cooperate in one indus
trial unit to produce something. We
do not expect the preacher, the law
yer, the doctor or the undertaken
to step in and tell the managers and
workers how they mus. cooperate
in a steel mill. cotton mill, coal
mine, railroad, or on cotton

But what rights have the consumers in
these controversies"
"Oh, we are all consumers the coal miner
consuming the products of the farm and fac
tory just the farmers and factories con-
sumo the production Of the coal miner There
is separate class of consumers. We are
all producers and consumers alike, and are
all in the same boat, SO that 1t would be
difficult to separate producers and consumers
as for Little Buttercup to unmix the babies.
This dual activity of people makes more
necessary a broad cooperation on the prin-
cple of live and let live. and by such
operation of supplying each others wants
this country has become the most prosperous
part of the globe.
But while we cooperate we have all to
remember that each group is but cog
in the wheel. and not more necessary than
every other cog. 1t is said that fve- -ninths
of our people produce all the necessaries and
the other four-nnths produce only desirables
or luxuries; but 1 suspect that the average
man woman thinks more of tie desirables
than of the necessities, especially in our
periods of great prosperity, and they all con-
tribute to the civilization.
so it won't do for group Of workers
to set themselves apart as more important
than the others and entitled to dictate the
whole scheme of life: and it is not good
time for any the outside to butt in
and tell the workers in any particular plant
how, they should cooperate. 1t is a good
time for miners and operators to meet face
to face in each group of mines and settle
their differences by collective bargaining
among themselves, and tell the professional
co-operators to go to the place where they
make a business of stirring up strife and
raising hell

But how about capital?"
Another misused word" commented Uncle
Joe.
Capital is the savings of labor. Every man
who works and saves a dollar is capitalist.
He may have his capital invested in a hoe,
saw whole tool chest, a horse or, COW. an
automobile a truck. suit of Sunday clothes.
a silk hat, a fine gown for his wife. house
or diamond ring When two men work side
by side and have the same earnings, and one
saves his extra dollar in the bank old
SOCK and the other invests his extra dollar in
a new suit Of clothes, an automobile or house.
they are capitalists alike. The man who saves
his dollar in old sock may lose it or the bank
in which he deposits it may fail, and he ceases
to be capitalist. just does the other man
who runs his auto into stone wall,
mortgages his house and spends the proceeds on
drink.

Why should there be any classes in labor in
