WHAT is LABOR?
In comparing railroad development
from George Stephenson's Rocket"
in 1929 to the present time, the Wall
Street Journal says:
"What part does labor really play
in this astonishing increase in the
production Of transportation?
"Of course, the answer is that while
labor is indispensable, it's part is rela-
lively small Without the other things
which have entered into modern pro-
duction, the labor in the world would
be like coal buried in an undiscovered
mine.
"As it is, labor, certainly in Amer
ica, is receiving royal share Of the
profits of production. Brains sells
itself far more cheaply than labor
does.
cit is machinery that has made the
change to larger extent
WHAT is LABOR? Does not the
| architect, the director, the manager
the technician, the planner and scien-
tist labor as we'll as those who wear
overalls during working hours?
And which group is specifically re-
sponsible for the machinery that
wrought these wonderful changes
The man who can answer can solve
the riddle, (Which came first, the
chicken or the egg?"
The editors distinction between
''labor" and "brains" has a familia,
sound. 1t is the favorite amusement
of those who believe that timbering
gaseous mine, for instance, or ever
building straight fence is an auto.
matte process-that merely calls fol
brute strength.
This separation Of labor and brains
with the commodity concept thai
they are "sold"-is a hangover from
the time when labor was considered
disgraceful, and was performed by
slaves.
This snobbery has been replaced
in America, at least-by the belle!
that every man, from the manager Of
the corporation down to the lowest,
paid mucker, is an important part o1
our intricate industrial and trans
portation mechanism.

PRESIDENT ASKS MUCH

President Coolidge's appeal to the
press to support Americas foreign
policies is one of the most extraordi-
nary moves ever made by an Amer
lean president.
What the president said to the
press was, in effect: 81 expect you
to back my foreign policies regard
less of what you think about them.
You must not criticize them in any
way. They are the expression OF
supreme wisdom and don't you forget
it."
This sort of thing would Justify the
most extreme resentment from the
press. but with few honorable ex-
ceptions the newspapers are not
showing any particular indignation
over it. 1t is hard to imagine the
more independent press of an earlier
day permitting an American presi-
dent to "get away" with any such
appeal. Will it do so now?
