the effort of having outside radicals attempting to adjust home affairs the conservative workingmen of our camp are absolutely competent of conducting their own labor affairs and it if they will but

not own ck stock in ill these ese industries or have any direct dealings with theta them but as these two industries employ hundreds of thousands of laborers a large part of your business and bread

this has now been largely accod blishel but to maintain operation during the past few trying months has in most instances been a losing proposition the one great way to help maintain prop prosperity erity at this time is to proceed with construction enterprises six months wait has proved that prices will not be materially I 1 lower ower for some years to come while many are actually advancing construction work Is needed everywhere and it if begun now will make busi business ess tor for these great employing industries which will enable them to maintain their payroll during this uncertain

reputed to have been one ot of the best and wisest of rulers divided his day into three parts ile he devoted eight hours to work e ight eight to recreation and eight to sleep that friendly organization which devotes part ot of its day to mailing bombs has been advocating the sll six hour day although many of 0 its ita I 1 me members abers would bo be horrified it if compelled to work that long the six hour day lies has become a permanent llo iio in the platforms of the radicals and even respectable respectable reformers aro are ponti rg out what they believe to be its won econ cinc advantages the ideal should be a fair days boic fo a fair days wage in paris the eight hour day has bee med cm as suitable tor for labor throughout the tha world but hardly y li it va V a arbitrary standard been approved proved by the nations than the radicals raise their voices to proclaim tile the intrinsic value of 0 tho the six bix hour lay day the time may conle in the course ot of our industrial affairs at fairs when even tile the six hour day will be deemed to long by those who look upon labor as slavery neither the tour four hour lay day nor the two hour day will delight the confirmed devotees of leisure not long ago workmen of our own community acting in harmony with the business men agreed that six hours should constitute a days work until such time as all the returning soldiers were employed it was a temporary expedient justified lot let us ua concede by the circumstances circumstance 9 neither side wished to set up a standard from which they should be no departure but we find the advocates of tho the six hour day arguing as a sound economic principle that the six hour day should be established everywhere because there are always men out of work enforce the six hour day and there will be no unemployed they declare when ten hours was the accepted period of work the same argument might have been used and with not a bit more validity the error lies in imputing plating im to an arbitrary unchanging work period a quality it does not possess today there are unemployed in most communities although the number is decreasing steadily in some communities everybody capable of being employed Is employed let us suppose that in tile the communities muni ties where everybody is employed a six hour day Is established as the standard work day the result will be that the laborers must toil overtime to do the work of the community A few months later economic conditions may render idle a big percentage of the workers in that community perhaps a tour four hour day would not result in being re employed when an eight hour day is established as a standard it is not because that period has divinity anit rather it is accepted as the nearest possible approach to a standard warranted by present economic and human conditions the men who are constantly consta atly sir striving IV to reduce working hours below a reasonable standard are those who do not wish to perform a fair days service tor for a fair air days pay should a six hour day be established the radicals would begin immediately to agitate the tour four hour day dar with pay and a halt half or double pay for or overtime and could they have their way they would establish a one hour day with no overtime the world must live by the sweat ot of its brow it must produce enough food and clothing tor for one and three quarters billion human beings logically men should work harder now low than before the war tor for the worlds stock ot of wealth has been depleted by wealth ot of

for lost time it not by hard work it Is s true that there to Is unemployment because we are going through a period of readjustment soon there should be more than enough work for all soon all nations will be busy replacing the waste of the war if workmen insist on a six hour day or a five hour day the work of the world will not be done and they will suffer buffer there will be an insufficient stock of wealth for distribution and human life will begin to pinch as it has not pinched since the days when our pioneer forefathers battled with nature tor for a bare living the empire they built w
