instructive episode in economic history.
The firm, when it decided to shut down. issued
a frank statement of its reason which based
wholly on the progressive ineffectveness of the
labor it employed Before the war, the employers
explained, they producing Iianos at the rate
of week for every six men employed. That
ratio had been reduced, in 1918, to piano for
every L and at the beginning of the present
year to one for every IS men. In other words, the
employees doing only one-third much work
they did before the war. though their wages
far higher
The closing of that factory and the reasons given
for it, evidently had effect the employees
who thus automatically lost their places. They got
together and talked things over. and then sent
representatives to talk with the firm. As a result

Awake the Boch and keep him to

And polish bar and rail and Gus

Get out the towels and the white

Set forth the steaming oxtail and
the clam;
The sizzling liver and the juicy ham
And pry the cover off the pretzel
laval.
The vote has set mans ancient
sanction free
From Iethergy, and has his spine
revived:
Reformers artful have for naught

Restore the swinging portals!
