RAPIDITY

In the catalogues issued by the Winchester and Remington
people, there are lists given which show the velocity of cart
ridges. It is really astonishing the speed with which Some
bullets travel. Take for instance the Savage 300. A bullet
per second. Think of that! But consider the Springfield rifle
used by our soldiers. When shot, this rifle will hurl a bullet of
ITO grains of lead $500 feet per second. How would you like
to run chat fasti Well a bullet is an object travelling at a great
rate Of speed. Are there any things in the world faster than
a buleti Yes there are.
Think of the wind. One day a wind storm arose and swept
through the State of Minnesota. It blew at the rate of one
hundred and two miles an hour. The wind is rapid in it's
fight. Then think of our trains. There is a record of a train
that sped along the rails at the rate of one hundred and twenty
miles an hour. Two miles a minutel Not quite as fast as a
rifle bullet however. Is there anything that goes faster than
a bulletf
Bullets, winds, trains are slow compared to this big world
of ours. The world travels around the sun at the rate of 1872
miles a second. That's going some! Yet, how slow this world
of ours is when we think Of the speed of the light. A ray Of
light travels at the rate of 186,320 miles per second. You know,
the sun is 100000 miles away from the earth, and yet it only
takes the light of the sun eight minutes to reach us. That is
some speed. Surely there is nothing in the world faster than
that. But there is. Electricity is faster than the light. 1t
travels at the rate of 288,0O0 miles a second. Electricity is
the fastest thing in the world. Is it,
The Springfield rifle bullet weighing no grains has a speed
Of $500 feet per second. That is slow!
A train has been known to travel two miles per minute.
That also is slow.
The earth moves around the sun at the rate of 18h miles
per second. A little faster.
Light travels at the speed of 5000 miles per second. A
little faster still.
Electricity travels at the rate of 2ss,OOO miles a second.
There We have it! That's the best of all.
Is it! Is there anything swifter! Do you know of any
answer to your prayers. Here is what I read in the Bible.
Before they call I will answer Before we utter our prayers
God knows and answers. Love is fast! Faster than electricity.
Love is back of everything and God is love.

he even reached the point where he
came to the conclusion that any
thing that could hurt the boss or the
organization that employed the boss
must in some way benefit him. I'm
der these conditions 1t was simply
natural that he should lose interest
In his work. 1t was equally natural
that his only interest should center
In the pay envelope and what 1t was
giong to get for him after he got
on the job. II there was no Joy or
interest in the Job itself. the shorter
the hours and the quicker he got to
where he could spend some, Of his
pay for entertainment or other
things that interested him the bet
ter.
Now the relation Of the employe
to industry is practically ap enforced
one. 1t has become impossible for
him as an individual &c discharge
his responsibility Of producing some
thing for society. so he has had to
join with other workers. and they
with people who had capital. For
his work he receives wages In pro-
portion to the value of his services,
but in this enforced relationship he
wants something more. and herein
lies the gist Of the whole question
of industrial relations.
Industry has been ever emphasiz-
ing machines. processes and produc-
ton and has been Understanding
or neglecting too much the prime or
motive factor-the human factor.
We must get back into industry thu

When this Is done and the man in
this ranks finds that the interest OF
his boss Is rot confined solely to
the building up of profits. he will
soon cease to center his own inter-
es, solely on the pay envelope. He
knows just as we'll as anybody in
this oom knows that wages cannot
buy him the thing that he really
wants, above al! else. and that is,
the pride apC Joy OF honest work.

educated. SO well entertained. as he
was In the United States.at that min
ute. After about twenty minutes,
Mr.. Morrison practically answered
that there never had been any such
time. And yet. do you remember
the conditions which prevailed a few
months after the Armistice. AL
though the material welfare of the
man In the ranks had never been so
good as at hat moment, there never
was a time in the history OF the
United States when the unrest was
so acute and SO widespread as II
was at that time.
1t would be naturally expected
that. as a result OF all these material
benefits. we would have found the
industrial wage Garner contented
and perhaps even enthusiastic over
the improvement in his condition
and his opportunities; but on the
contrary there had been developing
for years an increasing unrest and
dissatisfaction on his part with his
relation with industry. II was oh
vious that there was something
wrong with the industrial scheme
which although Il was providing him
with great material benefits was at
the same time changing his attitude
towards his Job and toward industry
M q whole.
Now II we go back one hundred
years In this country we find that In
dustry MAS carried on by individuals
or relatively small groups Of indi-
v!duals. The factories were small.
and employer and employees ail lived
In the same small town and were
generally well acquainted. Then
came the discovery OF the steam en-
CINE. followed later by the discovery
and development OF electricity M
motive power. and then followed the
era OF the rapid introduction OF
labor saving machinery. In these
changes. this rapid growth of bust
meas. the wage Garner felt that some
how he was losing his status In In
dustry. He felt that he was just one
OF many. Just = coz In the machine.
that nobody paid any particular at
tentton to. or took any particular In
tcreat In him. The boss never came
around to the shop where he was
working. In fact he didn't know who
the real boss was. but akttators and
the yellow press kept telling him
that the boss WAS someons that be-
ionged TO another class to which
he could never hope to attain and
assured him that his boss had no In
t.rcst In him other than 10 make OK

These things tended TO make him

Now what q be done to stimu-

the onploye. Well the employer
must come into contact with him.
What do we mean by contact? Let

Thu employe has questions to ask or
he may even have suggestions to

that he is not getting a square deal.
and We must all admit that there Ia
a whole heap Of difference between
