Show Let me ask, says Mr. Andrew Carnegie in a recent address, under what conditions docs the employer i pf labor make profits and become prosperous? Only when labor is prosperous, is his reply, and in great demand; when wages arc the highest, and when the demand for his products are the greatest. Then and then only, is the employer prosperous. On the other hand, when labor is not fully employed and cannot be obtained for his products, prod-ucts, then the employer can never be prosperous. He must n'ot only make profit, but he must not see his capital impaired month after month or he cannot gain but he must lose. Before the employer can be pros-pcrouss-pfpi throughout the land. He is never prosperous before prosperity comes; and he is prosperous only after it comes. ' |
