Is the public concerned in the way a
company treats its men? Not at all.
It is the public's business simply to

talist does with these laborers after

business.
is the workman on a different basts

Not essentially. Tbe only difference is
that the car company has to buy Its

ufacturers, whereas it buys its labor
at its own price. This is. of course, be­
cause the steel manufacturers ure or­
ganized. while these laborers are not.
Is tbe workman to be treated other
wise than as a tool or a piece of ma­
chinery? Certainly with no more care,
probably with less. If a piece of ma­
chinery breaks down the company bus
to stand tbe loss, so it is careful of its
machinery. But if a workman is killed
some slight damages are paid out of
the workmen's fund, so the company
does not have to be careful of men.
