pie. This whole difficulty comes as a
result Of the unsciendfc manner in
which labor is distributed. Excess Of
employment hours and pay, and then
no labor at all works poorly for both
worker and public. Human nature
IS a factor that must be counted on
When a workman gets fifty dollars
a week for ten weeks and then moth
ing for ten weeks, he never is as well
on as when he gets twenty-five dol
lars for twenty weeks. His standard
ot living is automatically raised dur
ing the period of unusual prosperity
and in the period Of depression it is
doubly hard for him to get back to
normalcy," when, as a fact, he finds
he must get back more nearly to star
vation. Government investigations,
OF course, are usually more or less
farcical, costly to the people and nom
resultful, but it would be highly ben
ehcial If the government could work
out some specific plan and back it
up by commandatory legislation that
would bring about a steadier labor
condition. In many cases the unions
have the country by the throat and
they do not seem averse to squeez-
ing the public windpipe. At the same
time the worlds happenings point
with a warning finger to the folly of
oppressive warfare on the men who
do the manual labor of the hour.
Certainly the man willing to work
should be reasonably assured of
steady labor.
