In a special report to th. president, the secretary of the Why Docs Labor Want to Look at the Dooks? A FANTASTIC scheme Is presented to the pie ," ssys Harley L.

Compared with the nation's? capacity to provide capital, there la every reason to anticipate that in the future, labor service, rather than capital, will become the scarce factor in production. Under such circumstances, the danger to be guarded against is the exploitation of capital and management by labor, rather than the reverse. . Professor Lutx dld - not-- say-sthe trend toward exploitation of capital and management is the trend toward socialism. If ths day ever comes when capital and management are completely dominated by .labor, then the free enterprise system will have gone out and state socialism come in. And, of course, under a Socialistic- state men are pawns of the state, mere . peons without rights. The attempts to allow labor managerial authority without investment of capital la a serious immediate threat to industrial expansion, as well as a future threat to free enterprise as such. Under our systemi-labo- r, capital, management as a team, can produce. the backlog of goods the world .s demanding.

When labor under the guise of fact finding In the company books seeks to divide profits without assuming the risk, and to Influence the decisions from which profit or loss arise, it is treading down forbidden path forbidden at least free enterprise system. under j( lie finance, Princeton University, in the proposal that workers shall set their own wages after an examination of the employers books of account." n what do the labor groups expect to find in these books that will be of benefit in determining wages? Ostensibly the books will reveal the profits of the company. Then ncting on the the- -' ory of ability to pay, unions will Insist that wages be Increased commensurate with that ability. Actually no Information relative to ability I to pay is found in the books which is not already generally known and available. Statements of earnings are regularly published in reports to , , ed to other official agencies. But as a matter of fact, profits have no bear Ing on the wage bargain.- - If profits were divided among laborers then with equal logic labor ahould " return their wages to compensate for capital loss- e Under a free enterprise system profit or loss goc to the one who assumes the riskr Wages can properly be determined only by - reference to the value of the service rendered.

And the element . of managerial judgment will determine whether there will be a profit or not.- Thus, as pointed out by Mr. Lutz and other tr leading economists, the purpose Him demanding a - look at the books is both to claim a share in .. the profits and to lay a foundation for exercising control over the management of the business. Professor Lutz explains that in the early days of the factory system there was more labor available than could be used by those who had i- - accumulated capital resources. This fostered the t "squeezing of wages toward the subsistence level," ' j ' ,..n we got to thinking about the many adults do to members of the younger generation through setting wrong examples in their everyday lives. They may not do anything particularly bad. In fact, they may be looked upon as leaders in their communities, , men and women of honor and integrity, and they are. If those individuals should ba told that some of the things they are doing, ot are placing In the way of tye youth, might lead to the rulna- tlon of their young associates in later life, they For they have only the would be horror-strickewelfare of the young at heart. But despite that fact they are continually doing things which may start those youthful individuals on the downward path. Perhaps one of the chief ways In which they are guilty in this respect is the manner in which they conduct events to raise funds for charity and other purposes. Chances are (old on blankets, scarves, quilts and other articles at fairs and bazaars, or those things are won at other games of chance. Lotteries and raffles are common at events conducted by the most circumspect and respectable organizations organizations which would look with horror upon gambling with cards or dice. Yet the manner in which money is won through the sale of chances ia just as much gambling as is shaking dice or playing cards for the same amounts or articles. Young persons buying chances, or playing some game of chance at some fair or bazaar con-- . n. - ? ducted by - the most. respectable and honorable organization in the world, are just as apt to become inoculated with the deadly gambling virus as they would be in the great gambling games. In fact, they are more apt to become contaminated with this vice in the former than in the latter, for it would be unlikely that they would find their way into the gambling dens, at the same tender age they attend the socials and bazaars in their own communities. But the gambling fever can be contracted at these respectable places, if raffles, lotteries and other games of chance are permitted there, as quickly and easily as elsewhere. Therefore, men and women having positions of responsibility in a group or community should see that any affair they conduct to raise money lor any purpose whatsoever shall not have raffles, lotteries or other games of chance. Only by following this rule strictly can they be sure that they will not do irreparable damage to the youth of their communities the ones whom they would protect. And those familiar with the evils of gambling realize the importance of protecting youth from-itbad influence. Horse racing, slot machines, card and dice games have brought worry and unhappiness to many homes in Utah In the past Let us not lay the foundation for more of that in the future by training our young people now to gamble In our seemingly Innocent raffles and lotteries to raise money for charitable purposes. o, t cut waxed Nor tho Bill of Bight Nor lh ,awI f the states of Con- Bec0cut r New York, or tho municipal ordinances of the cities nor the regulations of the OPA or tho ICC or tho as th oldtimera said excited, also enthused, about making themaelvea the FCC. site of the UNO, they obviously To enter ' this territory, an had no idea what they were let - American might ba required to - i mse!le ,n or -- Stanu produce a visaed paasporti should u lhl-b irreited for expectorating tr w,nt ho projert; in the hope, perhaps, on the sldewslks of this enclave, that the visiting foreigners wiU the State Department might make of their city something have to enter upon prolonged P or Casino or some negotiations for the Americans . other European word, for a place extradition.
