an honest days work for an honest
days pay" he declared. Stacking
does not go in this country and the pin
ciple of business men also should be an
honest profit for an honest article and
no more.
Much of the trouble is due to such
poisonous doctrine as that enunciated In
talks by Samuel Gompers, who said !:
The fight of labor In the United States
Is to keep what 1t won during the war,
and James Larl<in, radical labor leader,
who said to his followers in New York :
DO as little as you can for as much as
you can get"
Larkin's advice was accepted In the
garment industry in New York. Gov.
Allen said, and the result was that "the
public quit buying garments and to-day
more garment workers are out Of en-
ployment in the industrial centers than
at any other time in the United States
