the danger lies in resort to extreme
measures as possible panaceas for
our economic ills. We must guard
against ultra-radicalism and ultra

strife and breed Bolsheyism. Both
are enemies of the public welfare.

The reactionary element among
employers should remember that
curtailment Of production in order
to force wages down and sustain
prices will inevitably react as a
boomerang. Their eventual loss will
more than offset their immediate
gain. General prosperity is the best
antidote for industrial unrest and
dangerous radical tendencies.
Labor, too, must bear in mind
that It has far more to lose by cur

that decreased production per mar
creates more jobs. 1t should realize
that the best way to sustain wage

in addition to commercial credits
estimated at about three billion
dollars.
Then. content that we had twice
made the world safe for democracy
and democracy safe for the world,
we promptly forgot the dangers
that had so recently threatened us.
That was as grave an error as
some of US committed in 1914,
when we fatuously took refuge in
the thought that our splendid iso-
lation" would protect us from the
conhagration raging in Europe.
All that we and our Allies accom-
plished in the World War was TO
protect democracy from one form,
and only one form, of autocracy-
the autocracy of the mailed fist and
the Junker class.
Today we are again facing the
dangers of autocracy-the autocra-
cy Of the proletariat, which also
comes from overseas, where 1t is
applying the torch TO the incendiary
spots of Europe and which is seek
ing here to undermine the very
foundations of our system of gov
eminent and free institutions. We
are confronted. In fact, with a third
world challenge, and we must meet
it as courageously and energetical-
~ and unitedly as we met the other
two.
Only very recently the country
was shocked by a dastardly out
rage committed in the financial
center of the country, which cost
t~hirty-six lives and injured three
hundred persons. And it is worthy
of comment that nearly all Of those
innocent victims of that cowardly
assault upon law and order were
members of the working class,
which is the very backbone Of this
nation.

W HEN Autocracy threw
NM down the gauntlet to
NM world Democracy in
1914, America began
AZ once to convert its industrial
plant into the war machine that 1t
subsequently became. We sent bill
lions of dollars worth of food, fuel,
and munitions to Europe. We lent
nearly two and three-quarters BILL
lions Of dollars to the Allies through
subscriptions to their bond issues
and by extension Of banking and
commercial credits, and we supplied
them with two and a half billion
dollars more by re-purchasing
American securities held abroad.
We contributed literally to war
charities.
Then we entered the conflict and
forthwith placed ten billion dollars
on credit, of which more than nine
and a half billions were used, at the
disposal of our Allies. W. raised,
trained and sent overseas the larg-
est Ind most efficient army that
was ever transported from one con-
tinent to another. We continued to
supply the Allies with munitions
and goods of every description, in
still greater quantities and with
greater speed. We fought with all
our vast resources of finance, field,
factory and mine, of Drawn and
brain. We helped to win the great
victory of democracy, and then we
laid down our arms and tegan to
beat the sword into the plowshare.
But Immediately there followed
another challenge challenge
from all the world, for the shelves
of the universe were bare, and only
America could fill them again. Our
productive capacity and credit re-
sources alone stood between eco
nomic world rehabilitation and eco

pioyees In the construction Indus
try sat down together and pledged
themselves to make up the deficit
of one million homes in America and
named a committee to appoint sub
committees in every city In Ameri-
ca to study the building troubles In
each locality In order that a COM
prehensive plan Of action may be
worked out.
The proper kind Of cooperation
on the part Of merchants will pre-.
vent them from trying TO borrow
money or arrange for credits to car
~ large stocks Of goods in a falling
market or to stimulate the produc.
ton of n~on-essentisl commodities.
Manufacturers and dealers endeav-
oring to sustain prices by artificial
means are not cooperating. They
are trying to suspend the operation
OF economic laws. 1t Is as fool
hardy as defying the law Of gravi-
tation.
Furthermore, they do not COM
prehend that every materiaf de-
ciease in commodity prices pro-
yides more capital for business pur-
poses by the fact that thus fewer
dollars are required to conduct the
country's business. The decline In
the prices Of cotton, corn and oats.
for instance, will relieve the credit
strain, it has been estimated, to the
extent Of more than one and a
quarter billion dollars. When the
purchasing power Of the dollar Is
restored to par we will need only
about half as many dollars as are
required today to transact busl-
ness, and there will be no credit
stringency.
Politicians and legislators who.
for selfish or short-sighted reasons,
refuse to tighten u tax burdens
are not cooperating. These bur-
dens are bearing down too heavily

tial enterprises. There is no longer
any question about the imperative
need for repeating the Excess Prof.
It's tax or about the practically uni
yersal demand from all substantial
business interests for such action.
Even more vital than the REFORM
inc of our tax laws, however, Is the
transportation situation. The rail-
roads have rightfully been returned
TO their owners, under provisions
fol- ample Government supervision
and fair treatment to the carriers
as regards rates. But these favor
able factors cannot Immediately re-
store the credit of the railroads,
and they cannot supply at once the
freight cars, engines and terminal
facilities so imperatively needed to-
day. There Is only n way, In
feet. to overcome the serious handi-
caps. confronting the carriers, and
that is by the full cooperation OF
railway managers, railway employ
ees, shippers and the pubic. Only
thus can we obtain greater trans
pcrtation service-and We must
have such service.
With bumper crops now being
harvested and the universe still de-
handing our products in quantities
such as no country has ever before
been asked to supply, we face a
prosperous period during the next
few years at least. But let us be
careful not to destroy that splendid
prospect by industrial or class
strife.

be brought to realize that all indus
try, upon which is based IL very
existence as a nation, is in effect a
partnership Of Labor, Capital and
Brains, each absolutely dependent
on the other two and none capable
of separate conduct of the business.
They constitute the Trinity of In
dustry.
The attacks upon capital seem
based on the belief that capital con-
sists merely of money and that
| those who are possessed of money
can utilize it to take the place of
manual labor on their part, where
as the simple fact is that capital in
reality consists of such things as
tools, credit, money, supplies for
consumption and production mate
rial. And consequently the history
of civilization has largely been the
history of capitalization. Radical
argument objects to the growth of
wealth, and yet every individual
who possesses strength in excess of
the actual needs of the moment is
possessed of wealth which can be
turned to actual use to increase
comfort, the standard of living, or
reserve against lean periods.
Irresponsible agitators who pre-
tend that labor receives no consid-
Grafton from the lawmakers of
America not only misrepresent the
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-01-07

facts, but tell a downright untruth.
In the short space Of eight years
workmen's compensation provisions
have been written into the statutes
of forty-fve states and territories,
in addition to the model act Of the
Federal Government for its million
civilian employees. More than
thirty states have amended their
compensation laws, generally to
provide workers shorter waiting
periods before payments begin, and
wider scope. Ten states raised
their scale of compensation. so
that there are now twenty-five
states which provide compensation
for injured workers of at least six
ty to s~ixty-six per cent Of their
wages. Women's working hours
have been reduced. and minimum
wage laws for women and children
have now been enacted in fourteen
states, in addition to the District Of
Columbia.
1t has been estimated recently,
after an exhaustive study of the
subject, that the purely c~apitalistic
return-namely, profits, interest and
rent-upon the wealth of the coun-
try is not in excess of five per cent
of the fixed wealth. And it is inter-
esting to note persons with incomes
of $1,000 or less receive about forty
five per cent of the dividends paid
by corporations and a much larger
proportion, perhaps seventy-ive per
cent, of the Government, state, mu-
nicipal and corporate interest pay
ments. One large corporation
alone has more than ninety thou
sand common stockholders.
There Is encouragement in the
fact that appreciation of some of
these fundamental truths on the
part of the more intelligent labor
leaders is manifest today. They
are beginning to understand that
cooperation with capital is impera-
tive, as was evidenced recently by
the announcement that the repre-
