Dcachman Labour is making lufe difficult for agriculture. Think not for a moment thet this cornes irom deliberate intention. It bas no desire to injure the men wba pra- vide it with milk, park chaps, car- rots and potatoes. Labour et times feuls ta reelize the conse- quences of its awn ects, rarely does ut dreem ai the existence ai otbex-s. Slip back, in imagination ai course, 120 years. Consîder the conditions which then existed. No ane hed the sligbtest conception ai modern mechinery. The fer- mer wes using the sickle, the scythe and the flail. There were no combines, no binders, no seed drills, no Canadien Federation ai Agriculture. The fermer, from the standpoint of today was fer, fer bebind-soalaso was industry. The position wes desperate. There are those wba reke up the cruelties ai the past, curse capital- ism and cepitelists fan conditions then existing. The trouble, in those days, was thet capital, mod- ern style, bad nat yet came into existence. It wauld be difficult ta con.demn cepitelism for tbîngs which happened before it was born. Labour like the- farmer,' lacked the tools «f the trade. The trouble with the world then was that we had made littie progress, industrially 1 mean. The cap- italists af that day were, without capital. There were great- men in the distant past but they had nat the sllghtest idea of thc application af power ta industry. They did not even dream ai a day when ma- chines would da the work af men. Slowly at first, man began ta see that power could be increased, that machines could be developed, that these machines would take same af the bitterness, the bard- ness out of lufe, get more done witb less effort. What did ail this mean? It nieant an increase in capacitý ta produce. Even with shorter hours, the average man produced more. Humanity was faced witb a new problem: how was the excess production ta be distributed? There are thase who dlaim that capital took toa large a share- leit little for others. The answer is that capital bad ta take more because it provided the machines. In modemn industry it takes eight or ten thausand dollars ta put a man ta, work-even more in the higbly industrialized countries. Men will nat build new plants and install new machines unless there is an incentive. The in- dustrialization af a nation is a costiy performance-but. it lifts the standard ai living. There are few bighly industrialized nations, the process is only beginning. Labour is a powerful factor in the pracess of production. Ail men are labourers in one sense of the Word, they bave to work for a living. We wisb them well. Labour holds a strategie position. It can hold up the process of pro- 'duction and restrict production even tbough volume ai production is the real determining factor in the progress af labour.1 Here is a case in point. Quite recently General Motors and or- ganized labour went into a buddle ta determine the amaunt labour should receive for its contribu- tion ta the building af mator cars. The agreement had its interest- iz¶g points. It was assumed by labour that the improvement iri the r»eans ai production entitled the workers ta a tbree cent an hour increase in earnings cacb ycar for the next five years-a rather substantial increase, an in- crease in bourly earnings wbich is increased from year ta year asnounting to fifteen cents per hour the last year of the agrce- ment. Industrial progress means higher production. The gains may be distributed ta capital, ta labor or ta the consumer in a low- ering af prices. The latter bene- fits ail. It increases the national income, raises the standard ai living. There are times when the cost of living goes up. there are times when it declines. Prices of farm products are very sènsitive ta aitered conditions. Wage rates have much greater stability. In this instance labor took good care af itseif, the new agreement calîs for an increase in wages of le per bour with eacb increase in the cost af living index ai 1.3. The index now stands at 164 on the basis ai 1935-39 equals 100. Wben the' index falîs beloxv the pres- ent level labor xviii gain, its cost of living will be lower. Its money wages do not fail below tbe pres- ent level, its real wages rise with everv decline in the cost ai liv- ing. The farmer? Recall what hep- pened after Worid War I. On the basis of 1935-39 equals 100 the index of farm products stood in 1926 et l44.4-in 1933 tbe in- dex wes 69.3-the price of iarm product.% lied been more than eut in two. If that happens in the COMPETITIVE PRI6CES PLUS PERSONAL SERVICE ~mdape*4.ntSPECIAL VALUES AND REMINDERS FOR THURSDAY - Alliances FRIDAY AND SATURDAY General Motars will be in an ex- cellent position, wages rising, cost of living falling, the farmers foot- ing the bill! But there is a fine integrity In the capitalist system. Inevitably there wauld be a re- duction in total cmpioyment. Somcbody in the end must pay. Tbc workers, whcther thev ki ow- it or flot are planning for unem- ployment. 0VER ONE-THIRD 0F ALL ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY 4 PER CENT. 0F DRIVERS The warst kiliers on aur bigb- ways are the accident repeaters- the reiativeiy fcw drivers xvho get into accidents aver and aver again. Clarence Woadbury re- ports that accident repeaters, about 4 per cent, ai ail drivers, accaunt for 36 per cent ai all ac- cidents. These figures emerge from an anaiysis af the records ai thousands ai drivers, made by Yale University over a six-year pcriod. The same studies dis- closed that 81 per cent neyer bad been involved in serious accidents, an another 15 per cent had had only one accident each. Woodbury's article gives fur- THE COMMON MAN What fortune waits the common man wha sees This century as niarked to be his own?
