| which organized labor has been Just
as much in the wrong, just as arbi-
trary, domineering and exasperating
toward a third interest as capital
has ever been toward labor. This
third interest is agriculture, which is
equally, with capital and labor, en-
titled to just wage, fair return on
investment and share in the nickel,
which it never has and, apparently.
never will receive-at least not un-
til radical change in our economic
system occurs. Organized labor
seems to be unable to realize that the
farmer is at once an investor and
employer, and worker. That his
present condition is, to all intents and
purposes, the same as that referred
to by Mr.. Gompers as the condition
of labor prior to application Of pow
er to industry.
Nor does there seem to be any pros-
pect of any agricultural development
corresponding to that of manufactur-
ing, transportation and the like.
There have been developments in
methods, wonderful improvements in
farm tools and conditions since the
days of the ox-drawn plow, the sic
kle, fail and threshing floor; but the
farm must still be the unit and it's
| owner remain investor, employer and
| laborer, so far as can now be fore
told. The only alternative seems to
be an extension of the tenant system
| which no one advocates.
The farmer knows that in the end
the cost of all war between capital
and labor falls upon him just as we'll
| as labor knows that the cost of the
disguised bonds called profit sharing,
etc., falls upon him. Let the average
farmer figure interest on his invest,
ment-deterioration, taxes, insurance
and reasonable profit on his pro-
ducts, etc., as is the rule of factory
output, and then reasonable, or, as
labor usually expresses it, a living
wage for himself, and his balance
will almost invariably be on the
wrong side of the ledger, i. e., while
he is entitled to have the nickel split
three ways, he not only gets nothing
in the split but does not receive eth
! er living wage or adequate return
: on his investment as figured by cap
! ital and by labor unions.
Much is being said lately about a
combination of farmers and laborers
to wrest what is due each from cap
ital. Such a combination is vision
airy unless and until labor orRariza-
tions better visualize the farmers

whole of the nation and labor finds

dividual selected by the management.
These proxies are usually executed
without much thought on the part of
the small stOckhOlder, and used by
the management to perpetuate its
control. If, instead of giving proxies
in this way, they were given to some
one who more especially represented

of acquiring stock and so causing it
to be voted as would be to their in
terest, it would not be many years be-
fore many of the important industries
in the United States could be owned
and managed by labor. Then labor
could take the nickel.
So long as the workman was not
only an artisan but an investor, he
figured not only on living wage but
a profit upon his investment in shop
tools and raw materials and so pric-
ed his product as to bring adequate
returns upon his investment: return

forded. In the small factory, condi-
tiOns were much the same. While
the workman had little, if anything
invested, he was familiar with the
sonal relationship with the owner
who was often, also. one of the work
men. While the workman was no
an investor, he was we'll advised as
to what his employer was justly en-
titled in that respect. The employ
er, being also workman, was equal
ly we'll advised as to the wages his
employees should rightfully receive
There was mutual interest, min
imum of cause of contention, and &
reasonably fair split on the nickel.

and labor dropped toward the plane
of a commodity. This naturally anf
inevitably developed conflict between
labor and capital as the latter tool
over the investment feature and con
sidered only profitable returns upon
investment. Capitals only object was
to secure from labor the largest pos
sible product for the lowest possible
wage, in order that the maximum OF
return might be realized on invest
ment. This meant all the nickel for
capital.
This attitude on the part of capita
drove labor to form .nions to protect
their members against wage reduc-
tions, undue exactions as to hours OF

back some part of the nickel. There
are, of course, other factors which

While It may be true that prophet
is not without honor save in his own
country, It is also true that many
American are not without patriotism
save when they are out OF their own
country. ~
Recently the manager Of an i'm
portant hotel in New York gave us
Ia striking example.
Talking to the Paris hotel men he
told them in effect. that they should
learn more of the gentle art Of loot
ing Americans. Their prices were
ridiculously low.
If Americans could get the best
food and service for normal price
in the great hotels Of the French cap
ital how could they be expected to
put up with the extortionate prices
they have been trained to pay in New
York?
The message to France was as
plain as the message to Garcia-if
you don't rob the American traveller
you are missing a bet and grabbing
the game.
Perhaps this friendly tip was to re-
pay in part the great debt the New
York hotels owe to the French. Were
is not for the French language, Hea-
ven knows what would happen to
the New York hotel industry.
In one great American hostelry
for example a dab of cold leftover
mashed potatoes is put into pat-a-
cake form, warmed over in frying
pan, and when Drowned it becomes
"pomme de terre Marquisette," price
IS cents. The poor fish of guest
pays the piper without whimper
and then tips the waiter fifty cents
for serving it with coffee and 35 cents
cup.
Evidently, whether it be through
taxation, the Juggling Of a tariff sche-
dule in the interest Of some select set
of industrial robbers or what not the
American must pay through the nose
for whatever he gets.

are the most pertinent in bringing
about the present labor and capital
situation. The inevitable result has
been to drive each further from the
other. One particular factor that
may be mentioned in passing has
been what is known as efficiency"
This idea developed class of So
called experts who looked upon la
borers as mere machines and endeav-
ored to regulate their work along
the same lines as machine produc-
tion, leaving entirely out of the eQua-
tion, any consideration of humanitar-
ian principles. Naturally, and prop
erly, the unions resisted this, with
effect. Capital was hogging the nick
ell, and then some.
AS flank movement against this
resistance, certain profit sharing
schemes were evolved and put into
effect by some corporations. They
took various forms but were So hedg-
ed around by conditions and SO char
ged with possibilities of the share
being lost to the employe-participan
that the intent was obviously to tie
the laborer to his job through fear
of losing his share. Now, labor, and
especially American labor is strong
ly repelled by any effort to bind or
shackle it to a job. Appeal to his
sense of loyalty and fair play, and
the American workngman will stick
with a tenacity unequalled-even by
the staying power of the proverbial
poor relation. But he will stubborn
ly resist anything savoring of bond
age or duress. These characteristics
are ingrained Americanisms which ii
! is to be hoped will never be abated
or eradicated. Every real American
forgets the nickel when his rights
are threatened.
There also developed certain So
called welfare or uplift features, as
libraries, hospitals, schools, ETC., all
of which were SO planned as to pro-
tect the returns of capital on invest
ment and not even to subtract from
that nickel.
Being gifted with reasonable
amount of intelligence, the laborer
easily saw that these schemes added
nothing to his bank balance nor sub
tracted from capitals dividends. Ma
turally, then. all these schemes have
failed to produce the results the or
ganizers hoped and labor has kept on
| in its fight for what it feels is fair
wage reasonable working hours and
the nickel. Capital has just as ar
bitrarily persisted. The prospect
seems to be that the struggle which
began nobody knows how many years
before the strike led by Moses, will
progress until such time as organized
capital can. and will. meet organized
labor frankly and fairly as the indi-
vidual American owner of the pre-
power days met the individual labor
er. and amicably arranged an equit-
able division of the proceeds of out
put including the nickel.
