very truly yours,
SAMUEL GoMPERs, President,
American Federation of Labor.

From w. E. Kimsey, Secretary,
Labor.
In reply to yours of November 24th
desire to say in answer to your ques-
tions that an answer of yes" or no
without qualifications is impossible.
There is no man who can arrive at the
exact composite of the thoughts or the
aims of several million people. The
ideas, aims and methods of officials of
Organized Labor, sometimes miscalled
labor leaders, have the same divergence
as the ideas, aims and methods of the
so-called rank and file. However, prac-
tically every activity of Organized La
Dor is tending, and rightly SO, toward
the control of industry. Perhaps large
percentage of Labor is not aware of
this fact, but consciously or uncon-
sciously we are travelling in that direc-
ton.
That the ultimate aim of Labor is
ito absorb all industry" and that such
is the view of the American Federation
of Labor Ct refer to the of1cials), is
proved by the obligation which the Fed
Grafton requires an applicant to take on
becoming a member of a Federal labor
union chartered direct from the Amer
lean Federation of Labor A part of
this obligation is as follows: You
agree to defend to the best of your
ability the trades-union principle which
regards capital as the product of
the past labor of all toilers of the hu-
man race and that wages can never be
regarded as the full equivalent for labor
performed" There can, in my mind,
be but one Interpretation of this declar-
alton, and that is, that the ultimate aim
of Labor is to secure the full value of
its product. This can be obtained only
by ''absorbing industry" either by ma
tionalization or by having each industry
placed in the hands of those who work
therein.
Wages cannot be increased and hours
shortened indefinitely. The practice
could be kept up until all profit is elm
mated, but when that point is approach
ed the owners will close down the in
dustries. We know what happened in
Italy when this occurred. The princi-
pie which should govern Labor's de
mands relative to Labor's wages and
hours, in my mind, should be based on
Labor's demands for a reduction of the
hours of labor which would give due
share of work and wages to the reserve
army of Labor and eliminate many of
the worst abuses of the industrial sys-
tenn now filling our poor houses and
iails
The movement for the reduction of
the hours of labor is contemporaneous

The Connecticut labor press., 1921-01-08

From W. c. Carten, President,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fremen
and Enginemen.
(a) In my opinion, Organized Labor
that is American trade-unions, by their
requests for advances in wages and
shortening of hours, from time to time,
are not endeavoring to absorb indus
try"
(b) In my opinion, a continuance of
the practice of seeking to advance
wages and shorten hours, by members
of tradeunions, will have an effect in
the future similar to that in the past.
Co In my opinion, the principle that
should govern Labors demands relative
to wages and hours is one that recog-
nizes the fact that the working people
should receive their proportionate ben
e6ts of civilization. AS the institutions
and industries of any nation progress
and prosper, the working people of such

PARROT FISH CHEWs CUD.

The parrot fish. found in the east
ern Mediterranean, chews its cud like
a COW. In other words. it cuts OF its
food in relatively large bits, stores 1t
away until it has time for the bust
8 of thorough chewing, and then
reduces it to a fine pulp. Curiously
enough, the ancients called this fish a
ruminant, but their tales of it had
been taken with many grains of salt,
until recently by modern n~aturalists.
A writer in the Scientific American
Monthly notes that as far back a the
fourth century B. c., Aristotle assert
ed hat the parrot fish is to be classed
among ruminant animals. This story
was repeated by the Roman writer on
natural history. Pliny. 1t passed as a
fable. like 50 many other ancient
statements Of tact since verified.
