The Sentinel believe» that the tendon ey o f labor la to want aa high a wage a* it caa get and that thia tcudenry I» not changed When a former employer become» an employe, but that the cm ploye as a rule grants that capital is en titled to a very fair profit, that H may be encouraged to invest in industry and produce employment. • • • Associations Of employers have done much to prov ide for a fair profit for capital. Likewise associations o f employe* have done much to provide for a fair wage for labor. The Sentinel it o f the opinion that both a fair profit for capital and a fair wage for laljor can only be secured through such association*, and the eo operation o f such nworiations. That is why The Sentinel believes the Loynl Legion o f ldiggers and I.um bermrn, in which both employe and «an ployer are admitted to motnla-nhip. Is the greatest thing that ha* ever hap pened for the lumber industry o f this section. __________ ’ _____ I But when sueh organisations are eom plet«*d we can not rest under the nssump tion that all troubles are forever set tlid. A* an example, read what Mayor Ole Hanson says about the great strike in Seattle: •‘ Green and his henchman had expect e«l the business men to turn over thel business to them piece by pi«>ce— aetu ally had expected this to happen. But Green and his anarrhists had to flee. ‘ ‘ Now I didnt’ br«*ak that strike Tom Murphine didn’t brenk that strike Chief Warren didn’t br«»ak that strike It was the elenn. loyal union men whose internationals had never snnetioned the strike that did the most to end it .” This shows that we can not hope that organisation is going to bring to labor all its rights, nor hope that with organir ation labor will respect the rights of others as religiously as it hop«>a to have its own rights respected, but it doe* show that the hope o f the country and the successful development of the phil osophy promulgated by Mr. Miller de pends upon intelligent organixation di reeted by men who can not be led astray by passion and prejudice— men who can s«*c the rights of other* as well as their own— men who will stand firm for the right ns they see it, no matter what the temptations may be to do otherwise- men who realize that justice fu r them selves is dependent upon their being just to others. “ Induatry no louger belong» cxclu aively to thoae who have their money mveeted therein.” This ia a statement made by « Miller, superintendent o f the Pallett Lumber aompany, at the rally o f Loyal Legion o f Loggers and Lumbermen Sat unlay night. I f this statement were quoted alone and unsupplemented by further state ments by Mr. Miller, many might cry, •Why, that fello w ’» a bolshevik or an anarehmtl ’ ’ But Mr. Mille* is neither one. Undoubtedly he believes that capita has certain rights that must be respect ed just as labor has certain rights that must be respected. Prom his talk we gathered that he believes that the em ployer ia under obligations to the em ploye to conduct the business iu the most economical and business like man ner, to the end that labor may be P«o' a fair wage, in return for which the employe is obligated to do his work in such a manner that capital mny make a reasonable profit upon its investment That is neither socialism or aa*rch_ That is merely putting the golden rule into practice.
