It should be realized that there is nothing really surprising about these and lnf'\ are only what the public had a right to expect. Public opinion, on flw whole, has made up its | mind that in the future workmen | ought to get a larger share than they have had in the past of the prefit of industry without hindering that in- ry, and employers themselves are to take that view much more readily than at any time in MHving memory But this is quite impossible unless production is kept up, and one of he great evils of these disturbances lies in this direction. The theory has been represented by nearly all responsible leaders of trade unions that labor is to be relieved by limiting output. That is fatal. At the end of a war like this, when so much of the apparent prosperity has been due to the spending of bor- rowed money, there must be a very difficult eituation. The one hope of relieving it is by keeping up produc- tion and making it greater than ever before. Employers are naturally afraid, with the present high prices, to spend cap- ital in enlarging their works, and, in- deed, in making large contfacts. That aith 11 v of is inevitable, but in view of the cessa- tion of industry fer the last four years, 'CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the ing of time and hay.
