If a stool has three legs and one is removed the stool can- not stand up. Our present industrial system is composed of three parts: Capital, Labor and the Consumer If you remove the one it igAfmpossible to keep the other two up. For many generations past there has been strife between Capital and Labor. Labor demanding more and Capital willing to give less. Suppose Labor should demand 650% increase in pay for the same amount of work; then Capital would be com- pelled to charge the consumer at least 650% more or resort to employing machinery that would replace labor 'more cheaply in order to meet com- petition either domestic or foreign or both, There are things to. be said on both sides of the question. It is fine to have so much more money in your pocket, it is a grand and glorious feel- ing. But-if your more dollars' will not buy any more goods than your less number of dollars used to buy it would be better to have less. If you are 'i spend-thrift you will find your- self so much more in 'debt; but if you are a saver you will have 60% more money, but your dollar will be worth 650% less than it used to be. Then too, one would be apt to deceive him- self in hinking that he is better off than he' xéally is and: be inclined to be careless' along : financial 'lines for in reality his present dollar is worth less than his original one. Then Who Gains and who Loses? - If Labor gains and Capital does not lose, who does lose? It is the ulti- mate corisumer--you and I. If we are laborers it does not affect us much for we get increased pay, if we are capitalists and are able to charge more it does not do us any harm. Then it must be the consumer, especially {if his income is fixed or he is on a salary basis his dollar has less pur- chasing value than it used to have. Then what is to be done about it? It is right that labor should get all that it is entitled to get; it is also right that capital which supplies the! wherewithal should be re-imbursed, not only for the capital invested, but also for the risk it runs in investing that capital. Not all businesses pay the same profits and some are run at greater hazards than others. One method that is being employed by some Golden Rule firms; and that is for capital to charge after all over- head expenses have been met, a cer- tain percentage for its undertaking, and then to divide the surplus profits up annually with the employees. If this ideal could be generally car- ried out we should have reached that "Utopia" that better state of existence about which Sir Thomas Moore wrote centuries ago. Still it should be noticed that for several years back many, many firms 'were in the red and had great diffi- culty to keep out of the Bankruptcy Court; but in loyalty. to their em- ployees they kept going in order that the workers should not suffer. What should be done about that? This could be arranged if firms were to charge so much every year to over- head for an insurance so that if earn- ings fell below a certain amount then a policy taken out with some Insur- ance Company would cover the de- ficiency and thus keep the business on an even keel in bad times as well as good. If some such system could be adopt- ed there would be more satisfaction all round. Labor would be more content, it would feel itself to be partners in a business concern and would not al- ways be watching the clock; and the dread future, with all its poverty, would be greatly eliminated, Capital too would benefit, for in- stead of having to watch labor so closely it would be surrounded by groups of loyal workers who were making their employers' interest their own.and knowing full well that what- ever profits came to the firm would be shared by all and any loss that befell the undertaking "would be sustained by all.
