Problem Rights OF Cap

N NE Of the serious problems con-
hfrOnting the whole world today
Wis the proper solution Of the
" relations existing between cap
ital and labor. Il must be admitted
by all that it is not one-sided ques-
ton and that each party has certain
rights which should be recognized by
the other.
There can be no advance in the af-
fairs Of the world unless there IS in
creased production, and this means
that labor will furnish the Increase.
In no other way can wealth be Great
ed. and labor must recognize that
high wages can be permanently
maintained only by greater and more
efficient production. This involves a
days work that yields some sub
stantial addition to the worlds good.
for short day with also a dimin-
ished production can never solve the
labor trouble. What constitutes an
honest days work may be a debat-
able question as to the amount pro-
duced. but labor must be satisfied
TO give five dollars in value for FIVE
dollars in pay, for If It gives only
three dollars It runs up the cost OF
production and there can never be
any reduction in the high cost Of liy-
ing.
Agitation and unrest are destruct-
i've and not constructive, and some
remedy must be found TO reduce
them 10 a minimum.
In the pre-war times-the fat days
Of peace-we gave little heed TO the
vast problem Of assimilating the
hordes Of laborers from all over the
world. The foreigners had always
done the work which Americans re-
fused 10 do, such as mining, work
ing in tunnels. subways. etc. Many
were Italians and Slavs. and now
that that they are going home or
striking we fear much Of our i'm
portant work must stop. How to meet
this situation has become a serious
problem.
