Judge Gary, chairman of the
United States Steel Corporation,
predicts that the working people in
general win not support La Toilette
whereat the anti-La Toilette news
papers herald his words abroad as if
the judge were a second Moses, de-
livering words of wisdom from a
modern Mt. Sinai.
Judge Gary hasn't made a reputa-
ton as a prophet, a fact that the anti
La Toilette organs conveniently for
get. For instance, there were immi-
grafton and the 12-hour workday, on
both of which Judge Gary essayed
the role of soothsayer.
On immigration, the Judge saw
ruin for the nation unless a flood of
cheap labor was permitted to enter
the country, and, incidentally, the
steel mills. But the flood has been
barred and the nation still survives.
On the 12-hour day, the Judge
came an even worse "cropper." He
declared, only few months ago that
the 8-hour day wouldn't work in the
steel industry. Now he and his asso-
ciates are admitting that the 8-hour
day, where it has been established in
the steel mills, is working, despite
their predictions of disaster.
So, gentle reader, there is no need
to get excited over what the judge
has to say about how the working
people will. He has failed as
prophet before and there is no reason
now why he should be listened to in
breathless awe, as if he were some
infallible god proclaiming the law
from the mountain tops.
Organized labor has found the
years since the slump of 1920 highly
profitable. The farmer, since the
same slump, has found agriculture
Improbable, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture reports. Why
has one group of producers been
making progress, while another has
not?
The answer lies in organization.
The workers have been organized
and have successfully resisted efforts
to beat down their wages and stand
ards of living.
The farmers have not been organ
lied and so have not been able to set
the price of their labor, which in their
occupation is represented by the price
of farm products. So they have been
forced to work for compensation that
has not yielded commercial return
on their invested capital or a fair
wage for themselves and their fam
lilies.
In organization lies the hope of the
farmer. When he organizes he will
