Odgen Armour has been looked up- | on as a great capitalist incapable of | seeing the side of either the Wage | Worker or the Public. Today, how- ever, he has outwitted his criticism | by coming out frankly for both the | | organizing of wage workers and the, protection of the public. Mr. Armour | begins his discussion by saying that the problem of the employer and the wake worker {s not primarily to di- vide profits but to assure them, “For certainty they must be made before they can be divided. Dividing them,” says Mr. Armour, “is a mighty easy | job alongside of making them.” In discussing the recent strikes, Mr. Ar- mour says, “‘Strikes or lockouts mere- ly show which factor for the moment | is most powerful, and not in any| sense determines what is right. It is the strongest side which wins and this is not necessarily the side which should.” His complete statement as just issued at the recent Conference on Public Relations at the Babson In- stitute is as follows: “Efforts to take Labor or Capital out of the list of commodities sub- ject to the law of supply and demand are responsible for what is generally called the struggle between Capital and Labor, or more properly speak- | ing, the struggle between employers and wage workers. Always in the URGES ARMOUR the first place. It {s astounding how much fgnorance there is relative to the profits of business. The lay mind assumes that the margin between the original cost and the ultimate selling price {8 profit. The part that oper- ating costs and overhead expenses play in wiping out this margin gets | scant consideration ““When a busness pays a dollar for raw material and sells the finished product for $2.00, the layman says there is a dollar profit, but as often as not such a margin between cost| and price means a loss. It may cost| considerable to turn the raw product | into the finished article since the la- bor involved and the equipment used may be a very big expense On top of that there will be storage charges and freight bills and sales costs. There are a dozen charges that enter in and conspire to wipe out the mar-! gin, and not the least of these is rep- | resented by the tax that the business | pays. “The sum tottal of all its opera- ting and overhead charges may| casily wipe out what appears to be a wide margin between raw product costs and finished article prices. Men work for a livelilhood and capital| works for interest, and there always will be room for difference of opinion as to what constitutes a good liveli- hood and a good interest, but there| need be no question about this fact— neither men nor money will work First Baptist without a return, This problem of Morning worship at 10:45 a. m. wage earner and employer then, s not | \with sermon by Protessor W.

Those with Labor to| sell have said that Capital was crack- | ing the whip, while employers point- ed to increased competition and low-| er selling prices as both justifying and compelling lower operating costs. | “On the other hand, when work- | ers are scarce, wages go up. Then those with capital invested have maintained that the wage workers take advantage of the situation. The | wage workers’ reply is that higher living costs justify higher wages. Thus it will be seen that while there isn't any question but that wages go up and down in accordance with the law of supply and demand, there are two different. explanations for the | phenomenon. Either is reasonable or| unreasonable, according to one's own| viewpoint. Readjustment Brings Strife, “There are at this writing more! than the usual evidences of the strug- | gle between employers and wage workers. This is due to the fact that| after a long period of increasing wages there came a turn in the tide which had been carrying wages and| prices to higher and higher levels.| With the end of the period of war| inflation ecame an insistent demand for readjustment. Just what read- | justment means depends largely upon | who defines {t. To employers it means a return to normal operating costs, etc., while to wage workers it means lower prices on the essentials of life “Inasmuch as about 90 per cent of the ultimate price of commodities in general represents the labor costs in- cident to production, manufacture, distribution, etc, it ought to be ob-| vious that wages and prices are in the | same boat and must float or sink to-| gether. Thus when markets slumped wages were started on the down trend and thereupon workers in many industries fell back upon the strike as a weapon against wage reduction. Economic Laws Inexorable. “The law of supply and demand calls for a return to normalcy, and| wage workers, while aiming blows at| employers, are really bucking up against inexorable natural laws. These laws permitted high wages for | workers and high interest rates for capital during the war period. Since| then these laws have forced the in-| terest rate down, and they will not| permit the retention of war-time! wages “It may be a hard pill for both| Capital and Labor to swallow, but the fact remains that they are subject to the law of supply and demand and they cannot escape it. Regardless of outside interference, ‘‘wage earner- employer"” cifficulties will always be settled in accordance with the re-| quirements of natural laws and all the ills and hardships of the struggle | between the two factions result from | resistance of these laws. “It seems to me that the time has| come when we, as a nation, should take steps which will enable the natural laws to operate without the painful and damaging struggles which are now the rule, and which are not productive of permanent good to either employer or employe, Panaceas Disregard Laws. “Panaceas for employer-wage worker ills have always been on the market but in practically all cases they have been designed to produce some effect other than that which would come from the normal work- ing out of the law of supply and de- mand. They have sought to keep| wages up while cutting prices, or to| force wages down while maintaining | garded the normal and natural rela- between wages and prices. these panaceas have not will work.
