Fair Pay For Unfair Work

Fair Pay For Unfair Work
Here's an amusing story, but it
also has an undercurrent indicat-
ing the direction in which this
land of 'The Brave and the Free"
is drifting.
A farmer was in great need for
extra hands to harvest one of his
crops. In desperation, he propo-
sitioned the half-Wit Tom Tootles
of the town nearest his farm.
tom, how'd you like to work
for me for a few days?" he asked.
What will you pay me?'
asked Tom.
'I'll pay you what you're
WORTH" promised the farmer.
The half-wit (?) scratched his
head, pondered the matter for a
minute Or so, and then emphati-
cally declared:
'Pll be doggoned if I'll work
for that"
America seems to be over sup
piled with men like Tom Tootles,
not half-wits but fellows who are
willing, in fact, eager to draw
wages or salaries far in excess OF
the value of services performed
AS a case in point, if one were
to single out the worst feature o1
present day labor unionism, il
would undoubtedly be that union
leaders in their so-called "collec-
tive bargaining" have only one
ambition--to obtain for theil
members the highest possible
monetary rewards for the least
possible effort.
A sad situation, but unfortu'
nately true, reversing the time
honored slogan: "A fair days pay
for fair days work" to "A fail
days pay for an unfair day:
work."
