The world chaos that gains impetus with every

country and government that have been held up as

floundering in a sea of unrest, crime and misery. In
this hour, when problems of supreme importance con­
front us, it is interesting to observe the censorious
spirit that dominates the mind of man. Every fel­

UNIONS AND ( APITAL
in the old days capital ruled with an iron hand
and had little in common with labor. Unions, were of
necessity, organized to protect the laborer. For
years they grew slowly, until now they have a stran­
gle hold on capital.
We believe in a capitalistic country, for without
capital we would not progress as we have. We be­
lieve in unions, for they must protect their ranks
from intolerant capital.
We also believe capital is getting what it deserves,
for their attitude toward labor for years was dis­
tressing. Capital is now receiving what they
gave to labor in former years—little consideration.
Now, however, labor has passed all bounds of
reason. They succeeded in getting capital where they
wanted them, but were not satisfied. They developed
many lucrative positions that drew nifty salaries, and
these salaries must be continued and handed out as
plums to the faithful. Two factions of labor began a
war among themselves to see where the plums would
fall, and the consequences are disastrous to the whole
nation.
Capital is on its knees, so to speak, and the great
mass of common people are patiently waiting for the
internal strife between the two factions to see who
will rule, and it is becoming intolerable. Another six
months of this sort of thing will place the country in
another civil war and when it is cleared up, labor will
have lost all it has been fighting for. The average
American workman is just as dumb as the average
American voter. A spell binder can sway them this
way or that, to suit the situation at hand.
The honest laborer is in the same position as the
honest citizen who refuses to allow his name to go be­
fore the public for office. Neither desires the pub­
licity of running the gauntlet of criticism that will
be heaped ujMin them for taking the lead and trying
to put forth honest effort.
