government was the supreme author

ing purposes. As II matter of fact the
transfer of the roads back to their
owners has already practically taken
place. The change on March ! will
largely be one of bookkeeping. Dur

1t is conceded on all sides that gov
ermment operation of the roads opened
the way for the doing of things that
were not done under the old private
management simply because the gov
eminent itself prohibited their doing
it. The old idea was that there should
be a minimum Of cooperation and a
maximum Of competition. Thus it was
that the government prohibited pool

time the railroads showed any incli-

World War?
PRIMARY CAUSE OF UNREST
With the Passing of "Small Business"
Went the Feeling of Community
Interest, Which Meant
So Much.
Article VIII.
BY FRANK CoMEREORD.

Not many years ago something hap
bened which changed the relations be-
tween employer and employee. That
happening has had marked effect
upon Industrial discomfort Something
was lost out of the relation between
the owner and the men who worked
for him. The human element, the per-
Sonal touch, between the boss and the
workers stopped. With its passing I'M
rest grew with great vigor. 1t was a
new kind of unrest, too. II was a last
ing, determined, resolute discomfort
This came to pass in the day that
small business entered the twilight
In the day Of the small plant, bust
ness was owned and run by man, or
number of men, doing business as a
partnership. These men lived in the
community in which their men lived.
They worked with their men. In the
front of the plant was the office of the
Boss. He was on the job. He wasn't
q hired boss, ether-he was the real
boss-the owner The sign under
which the business was run bore his
name. 1t identified him with the bust
ness. The Boss had his home in the
city in which the plant was located.
His children went to the public school,
frequently to the same school to which
the children of his workmen went. If
he was a church-going man-and gen
orally he was-he and his family went
to religious services on Sunday to the
same church that many of his men and
their families attended. The men who
worked for him knew him, at least to
the extent OF recognizing him when
they saw him. He knew many of them,
and recognized them with a nod or
Good morning" when he saw them
on the street. Few people realized
how much this meant to harmonious
relations in the industrial world.
When working men had a grievance,
or thought they had, they took 1t di-
rectly to the Boss. He talked 1t over
with them He was reasonable and
fair. If the complaint was well found
ed it was given consideration, a rem
edy was found. The working man was
satisfied. He had had his say, He
was treated as a human being by a
human being He felt he was part of
the business-sO did the Boss.

CapitaIistic DupIicity.

When the cost of living forced men
to ask for an increase in wages they
were often met with the answer, 1--WE
can't afford it," The men could not
afford to work longer for the wages
they were getting, because they were
unable to make both ends meet. The
pay envelope was not large enough.
The men pointed to the fact that the
answer given by capital was not true.
TO show their good faith the capital
lists told the general public, 1--WE are
only making 3 per cent on our capital;
men who loan money get 3 per cent"
They did not tell the people they were
receiving per cent on 100000, 900,
while the real capital invested was
only S100,000,000. The sweat Of men
was being used to pay dividends on
S400,000000. If the dividends earned
were distributed over the capital nctu-
ally invested, $100,000,000, the profits
would have been shown in their true
light The reasonableness of the de-
mand of the men would have been dis
closed. 1t was a case of crooked capt.
taliZation, lying to protect its ill-got-
ten gains. Big Business needs ethics
Captains Of Industry need ideals.
Let me repeat, the law left the men
helpless. They had only one course
Fight, Strike! Strikes cause great
