Important Question Is
What Labor Plans to Do

To the Editor Of The Star:
Mr.. Sullivan seems puzzled over the
new aims OF labor and seeks for the An
Swer in the opinions OF present-dav
labor leaders. What they think now is
OF no importance. The important thing
Is what they are likely to do If and when
the goal Of the C. I. o. is reached; the
organization Of all working people. even
the unemployed.
The situation In Sweden today u al
most that. The result Is that the iron
law OF wages, instead OF applying to
labor, is applied to capital.
When working people are forced to
bid against each other for . chance to
live, the tendency is to force down
wages to a point where working people
are barely able to raise enough children
to take their places.
The iron law of wages is out Of date,
that starvelings do not make good SOL
Grafton of labor unions, gave labor some
relief from free competition.
But when organized labor Il In the
saddle, the tendency will be TO permit
capitalists to stay in business, to furnish
JOpS dIQ lIlCOIIlC WOTkCtS, Out on
terms laid down by the workers them
selves.
The terms are obvious and inevitable:
the lowest profit that capitalists will
take and still continue to take the risks
of business, and the lowest salaries that
executives will take to manage the busi-
ness.
If capitalists should strike against this
rule labor has the alternative of forming
cooperative societies to build up their
own capital and do business almost with
out risk, since the members are their
own customers.
Government ownership of natural mo-
nopolies follows as . matter of course,
the government being the committee Of
the whole body Of consumers.
That Is how things are going In
Sweden. The alternative is the oorpo-

lar spot. In former years there were cer- tain sections where free parking could be enjoyed. Personally we don't begrudge the State Park and Forest Commission the small amount of money it will raise by this means.
 For years the department has been endeavoring to secure the necessary fi- nancial aid from the Legislature which it's tremendous holdings necessitate Un- fortunately there have been lawmakers who concluded that so long as the state was willing to set aside large sums, like that appropriated for complete purchase of the Sherwood Island State Park, noth- ing else was needed Maintenance of the vast areas included in our state park and forest system is large item Only the timely assistance of the eco in the last three or four years has lifted the depart ment out of bad situation.
 Such timely aid enabled areas to be properly developed and made available to the public Roads were built to hither- to inaccessible spots. Fire hazards were removed; underbrush was cleared. Tn general program of improvement was carried on which state funds would never nave allowed the department to have financed. But even this assistance wasn't sufficient to care for the constantly expanding program in our state parks and forests. We want seaside resorts and we have obtained them We must expect to pay little bit extra now and then. If the state fathers won't set up the means, then the department is forced to adopt stricter policy, this which meets today with criticism but which is making available daily means of recre- atlon TOT which others gladly pay many time the small parking fee demanded.

News that the Merritt Parkway will be extended as far as Nichols by the fall of 1889 is good news to Waterburians who want nearer avenue of access to the new scenic Fairfield County route than that afforded down at South Norwalk. We had thought that probably the entire road would be ready by that time but that's too much to expect evidently With the parkway available down at Nichols we can see increasing demands being made for better route up the Naugatuck Valley than that now afforded by the Waterbury-Derby road. While the road itself is perfectly ok, opposition, if it can be termed that, is to the winding contours of the roadway. A straighter and wider road is the aim of the valley communities interested in a continual tion of the parkway idea The parkway will be opened as far as Westport this fail and prior to that we presume access to it from the Danbury- -Norwalk road will be provided. That's the best approach for Waterbury and points north right now.
