SCOTCH AGRICULTURAL LABORERS
 ORGANIZE LAST WORD IN UNIONS
 AND ESTABLISH EIGHT HOUR DAY

This feature of the so-called Scot tish Regulation is one of the most important movements of progress that has transpired for the benefit of the worker, the employer and the public, since the labor movement was first born To Regulate Business to Suit Labor was the master stroke.
 The inhuman method being tried out in this country right now IS to Regulate Labor to Suit Business. In other words, large employers are striving to place American working men into a serflike condition where one million dollars will regls CT more importance than one million human beings. This is an artificial stunt that cannot endure. We are taught in our universities that Only That Which Is Natural and in Accordance with Nat ural Laws and Natural Causes, Will Endure It is not natural that men should be the servants of dollars; 1t is natural that dollars should be the servants of men; therefore the nat ural idea will prevail and will endure for all time once that it's correctness is established.
 The Scotch have demonstrated the law of Human Rights Above Selfish Rights and at last there is industrial peace in that land and every indica- ton of prosperity.
 It did not require much time for the Scottish business men to accus- tom themselves and their business to the modern method and now there is good will where once there was hos tility.
 The process by which the Scottish labor chiefs showed the right to the capitalistic class and the employers Is too long 10 explain here, but briefly written it may be summed up in this condensed form: Business was re- quired to change itself to fit in with i the interests of the wage earners, in stead of forcing the wage earners to change their condition m life to suit business conditions
 The sound and practical argument was advanced all through the cam paign that is now so happily closed, That Men create Capital and there ] fore Men will be Masters of Capital, | rather than allow Capital to be Mas ter of men. And this is not Socialist doctrine, either.
 The Cc1+cL |. | they are too hardheaded to be fooled or beguiled by romantic political dogmas, and once they got that idea of Money being the Servant, not the ! Master of Men, they stuck to it until l they won.
 There are two reasons why they | won: I, They were right. ?, They are Scotch. The combination is invinci- ble. Scotland faces the New Year with the finest labor program of any nation i'll the world. Note-Now watch the Labor Exp1ainers of the 1 Kept Press in the U. s. fill our papers and magazines for the next | few months with bull about how the Scotch didn't do it." Keep your eyes open for lying propaganda.
 l The best part of this successful
 movement in the Scottish labor cam paign for industrial recognition by wage earners is this: It was Andrew Carnegie, Master Exploiter of Work men. who first started the ball roll l ing. Andrew was the recognized | Steel Master of the world when he bought Skibo Castle and he gave ou, l some first class views while he was begging along over his vast estate l His favorite maxim was that it re-
 quireS the efforts of many men to
 make one dollar and manly more mer
 are needed to make many more dollars. "A brainy man can exploit
 other men and make many dollars,
 he said, Also, a brainy man car
 exploit dollars for the benefit oi
 other men, and for himself The way
 the world is established at this time
 it is easier to exploit men than dol
 lars. Men are plentiful and cheap
 dollars are scarce and are careful, !! guarded. But if the time ever comes when men will change this rule and
 instead of exploiting Men will exploi
 their Dollars instead, It will be (
 revolution in the industrial world
 and will mean much happiness fo1
 everybody.
 But it must be a world condition
 not local. 1 am too old a man to try
 to start the change I am a produc
 of the prevailing rule; exploitation
 of men. The employer who exploit:
 10 men will never become as wealthy
 as the man who exploits 1000 men
 But in time, educators will see th'
 good that will devolve on mankind
 through this change and the Rule O | Dollars will be succeeded by the Rule
