ON THE LEVEL The way to reach the man who toili Am.'d the dingy workings; Is not by tratcgem and spoils, Or oily smiles and smirkings. You give him model homes and sucht Or clubs in which to revel; It isn't coddling that he likes, Or loraly condescension. Such methods will not stop his strikes Or banish all contention, You must be fa r and square and just, A man among your brothers, Before old doubtings turn to trust Cr ancient hatred smothers. Whatever motive yours may be. In time he's sure to find it; He locks through every deed to see The spirit that's behind it. And though he may misunderstand, Repel, at firs,t, and doubt you, Ke'll warmly grasp the prcficred hand V'hn he is sure about you. The boys within the breaker shed, The miners, deep t dow thm, Are slow of faith ana hrd of head, You've simply got to show them; And prove your varied aims and ends Are not these of th.3 devil For man and master can be friends If both are on the level.
