they seek to impose on employers.
When they 60 on the market to buy
commodities and services, they pay
only the market price for everything
they buy. Who ever heard of a re-
former. college professor, or even
a minister. paying more than the
market price for any commodity or
service that he buys on the open
market! Who ever heard of any Of
these individuals who are denouncers
of exploitation by employers, supple
menting the market prices with do
nations in order to afford the seller
decent living?
Every citizen has legal, economic
and moral right to buy an. commod-
ity or service placed on the open
market at the market price, and no
one is under any sort of obligation
to pay more than the market price.
All wealth is social trust, and every
citizen is under a moral obligation to
use his wealth in the interest of So
ciety. Citizens are under a moral
obligation to contribute to charity
to the support of the helpless. and
help to care for those who are incapa-
BILE of taking care of themselves. But
charity has no proper place in bust
ness. Business is preeminently field
of justice. It is the function of gov
eminent to see to it that everyone en-
gagged in business receives justice.
No worker nor any one else has any
sort of right to demand on the mar
ket more than the market price for
that which he has to sell, nor to de-
mand that he be permitted to buy
anything at less than the market
price. Such demands are antagonis-
tic to social justice, and have no
proper place in any industrial syS-
tenn based on social justice.
Every individual or corporation
that establishes business in COM
munity, and pays the market price
for raw material and equipment, and
pays the market price for services
and produces useful commodities is
a public benefactor. The fact that the
workers seek employment in the in
dustries that give them employment
is positive proof that these industries
offer them better opportunities than
they can get anywhere else. To call
such employers exploiteTs because
they give employment to inefficient
workers rather than to the highly
skilled workers, is a gross, ground
less SANDER brought against them by
people who neither believe in nor
practice what they preach.

EXAMPLES

While it will do little good and few
men of wealth will follow the example of
the late James Reuel Smith, of Yonkers,
N Y, we call attention to the fact that
when he died in 1885 he left about one.
fourth of his estate to the United States
government for the redemption of its
bonds
There is no reason, so far as we have
ever been able to think the matter out,
why a good citizen should not desire to
help his government. The fact that most
of us take government for granted and the
favors that we get as our "due" large ex-
plains the attitude of the average man
and woman.
Stanley Baldwin, the former Premier
of Great Britain, shortly after the World
War, and before becoming head of the
government, made a substantial anony-
nous contribution to the British govern
ment expressing the hope at the time that
other citizens of means would do likewise.
Few of them initiated him, however.

pay low wages. If one textile mill
pays minimum wage of $14 a week,
while other textile mill: pay mini
mum wages of $40. 9, or So a week,
tn employers who pay the lower
minimumS are denounced as ex-
ploiters of labor.
AS matter of fact, differences in
wages in the open competitive mar
ket simply indicate differences in
the types and qualities of labor efn-
ployed. Under industrial freedom, the
labor market in every community is
very accurately understood. both by
employers and employees. Different
types and Qualities of labor. like DIFF
ferent types and qualities of every
thing else sold on the market, bring
different prices. +h 81!
In southern communities cooks are
paid from 81 to SIS week. All pay
the market price for what they get.
The woman who pays S4 a week for
a cook gets a four-dollar cook, and
the woman who pays $40 week gets
a ten-dollar cook. Both pay the same
price for what they get. The differ
ence in compensation is due to the
difference in the quality of the serv-
ices. To denounce women as exploit
ers who employ inefficient, unrelia-
bic cooks at the market price for
such cooks is, of course, stupid. They
should be commended for giving en-
ployment to group who finL it diff
ficult to get employment at any price
on account of their inefficiency.
Those who denounce employers for
employing the inefficient at the mar
ket price of their labor, neither be-
lieve in nor practice the policy that
address questions to the al

Death in the Afternoon" book all
about bulls. bullfights and bullfighters,
written by Ernest Hemingway, caused
Max Eastman to write something about
Bulls in the Afternoon, with some as
pensions on the author of the former and
resented by him. The results was a per-
sonal encounter with the usual claims of
the contestants. Then wofds exploded
concerning hairs on the chest, both
litigants exposing their chests, and Hem
iHgway. whom we in Key West know as
"un hombre de pecho'. chided Eastman
for his paueity of hair. To determine
the physical proves of the two writers,
Hemingway suggested both to be locked

further developments and the author of
