Mexico, Canada and South America
know the price of labor has gone
up, but with modern equipment and
efficient methods the cost of labor is
less. Many do not know the differ.
ence between price and cost of labor
Many a boss thies to deceive himself
and his board of directors into think
ing he is an efficient boss by taking
it out of the pay Of his workers in
stead of saving 1t out of his eficien-
cities. It's an old saying that . poor
workman finds fault with his tools,
and its just as true that a poor boss
lays the blame on his workmen. II
one boss supplies a man with a
shovel and another supplies a man
with a teaspoon, and each was re-
1uired to dig a ditch ten feet long
the two men might be equally eff
ficient and strong-personally-but
the man with the more efficient
shovel would do the most eficien.
work. Why damn the man with n
teaspoon when it's the boss fault?
Twenty-Five and one-half men with

things you can do for 9 cents?
Efficiency does not come IN at the
bottom. 1t filters down from the top,
and workmen are no more efficient
than the boss and no more efficient
thar they have 4 chance to be with

The Pittman bill was a charity to
owners Of big mines who didn't need
it, who would resent it as a slam
upon their ability to live without
aims. II Was a charity denied 70 the
coming mines that needed it TO put
them in shape and to furnish metal
when the cutting depleted the al
