on How to Improve the Business of Losing Money

begin with discussing such large
scale operations as theirs. It might
give the beginner q sense Of de-
spair. Some Of these men are
known to lose a million dollars a
day. The business beginner asks.
Can I do that?" answer, Not
yet, but you can learn"
One has to realize that these are
selected men, winnowed out, as it
were, from the crowd; they are men
who probably had even at the be-
ginning a flair for business and
kept on getting more and more
flair. The word fair is French. 1t
is pronounced flair and means in a
general way more or less what we
call in English flair.

they do as by what they can't do

transcontnental bus, though neither
the open-m -mouthed visitors nor the
astute and sincere men that conducted
the New Zealand government sus
pected the fact
For years the decisions of the Arbi-
tration Court in disputes concerning
wages. hours or conditions were on the
side of the workers. This was in ac-
cordance with the general New Zea-
land idea of giving the worker every
consideration and Just advantage. II
the employers thought some of the de-
cisions unfair, they had no recourse
but to submit--and grumble. If they
found grumbling an emollient. Be-
cause the law was a, cinch. The only
result OF refusal to obey would be a
heavy fine and. as they had substance,
the fines could easily be exacted from
them
But the advance in the wage level,
after some years, reached point
where it could not ascend farther
without endangering the country's
trade In the meat industry, for ex-
ample-for the exporting Of meat is
great business in New Zealand
the cost of production had begun to
hobble the necessary competition with
Argentina. Soon after this became
apparent, the workers in the meat
industry demanded another increase
in wages. The court ruled against
them and in favor of the employers.
Refused to Accept.
Then for the first time the workers
refused to accept the award, and the
country without strikes had strike
of the most exuberant pattern.
In accordance with the law, the
recalcitrant workers We're fined They
declined to walk up and pay the fines,
and when the government attempted
to make collection of the penalty it
found nothing 1t could levy upon ex-
cept cooking ranges and carving
knives.
Before this unpleasant dilemma
had been satisfactorily met, the
miners in South Island demanded an
increase of wages. Their demand was
rejected by the Arbitration Court and
they. likewise went on strike.
This was a grave situation The
law of the land was being defied. New
zealanders are e-eminently law re-
specters. Something had to be done
to vindicate authority on these rebels.

Heavy fines were provided for the side
that failed to accept the award OF
the court.
This worked beautifully. OF course,
it was in practice one-man adJudl-
cation, for the judge from the court of
record must hold the scales, in the
final analysis, between the represent
ative of the employers and the repre-
sentative of the workers; but that
proved to be no hitch in the smooth
working of the machinery. For years
New Zealand was the one free and
civilized country in the world that had
no industrial upheavals.
Curious and sometimes incredulous
observers, including the writer of these
lines, went down there to look at the
achievement and could find no flaw in
its reality. Henry Demarest Lloyd
wrote a book about it, "A Country
