8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, —_— MIND, MUSCLE AND MONEY Bishop Newman on the Strife Between Capital and Labor, MUST ENFRANCHSE THE . WORKER Solutlon of the Problem to Be Found in Brotherly Sympathy, Common Hon- esty; to Do as One Would Be Done By, The New York Independent of recent date published a symposium of articles by eminent men on the subject: “The Strife Between Labor and Capital: What Is Its Solution to Be?" Bishop John P. Newman tributed the following paper: Mind, muscle and money gources of this world's wealth, The honor- able employment of these is labor; such labor 1s devotion. These are interdependent. This is God's triple arrangement for our goclal life, and all should recognize the game, Between them there should be neither mastery nor servitude, only honorable fivalry. The third may for a while be in- dependent of the first and the second until it is consumed, but the first and the second are producers of the third, Somfe men have money without ideas; some have ideas with- out money, and a few have both. Were all rich, there would be little or no incentive for the scholar to think or for any man to work. Were all scholars and skilled in the arts and no capitalists, there would be mno means wherewith to produce. There s no prejudice in the common mind against capi- tal; but when capital becomes a tyrant and demands the most work for the least pay, then the wrath of the laborer burns like a mountain on fire. Behind the capitalist stand the thinker and the mechanic, and the capitalist should remember that he 18 powerless without the co-operation of the Dbrains of the one and the arm of the other. It is exasperating even to riot for a man of intellect, whether inventor, man T, agent, salesman, puntant or and for a man of skilled muscular to sce a capitalist live in luxury, educate his children in the best of schools, and leave fortunes his heirs, while the intelligent employe liv from hand to mouth and the laborer con- sumes each day the wage of each day with- out a cent for a rainy day. Herein is the source of the strife between capital and labor. What is the solution? Twofold: The recognition of the mutual and reciprocal rights of the capitalist and the wage-carner, whether of intellect or of mus- cle; secondly, companionship in the profits the business. % know an American firm which, when busi- ness was slack and the profits less than the expenses, called their employes together and said: “Gentlemen, here arc our books, ex- amine them. They indicate that we must discharge a portion of our force or lessen “the wages of all. What shall we do? It you consent to the reduction we shall re- turn to the present prices when our busi- ness will permit.” ‘What the reply? The unanimous answer w “We accept the reduction on ditions.” Within a year the firm called their employes together and said: ““Gentlemen, the profits of our trade warrant not only a return to the former wages paid you, but also to a percentage in the profits.” It {5 sufcient to say there has never been a strike in that large concein, where Larmony prevails. This is only one of many similar firms in this country. Both just and humane, it is the practical recognition of business com- panionship which the dignity of labor mer- Lits and the claims of wealth and intelligence demand. The strife which we seck to allay will not yield to leglelation of trades unions or soclalistic theories, but to common sense, sanctioned by justice and the ordinations of the God of nature, All parties concerned “are to be educated by press and pulpit along these lines. When, because of my physical capacity or_iutellectual qualifications, the capitalist will make me his business partner to share a reasonable percentage of the pro- fits with or without a stipulated wage, then 1 shall feel not only a soclal elevation, but will have a powerful Incentive o increase the profits of the concern. The gulf between the -employer and the employe must be bridged. 'The Income of the capltalist is out of all proportions to that of the wage-earncr. For the latter we must create a promising future; he must be animated by the hope of a better home, larger comforts for wife and children and a higher social scale for them. Under the present system there Is Tneither hope to clieer nor animation to in- gpire, but the sad experience of one who goes Like a quarry slave scourged to his dun- geon, We must enfranchise the worker so-that he can have voice in determining the con- ditions of his labor and an equitable share in the results; not as an act of good will which might be withheld at pleasure as a bonus or a charity, but as a right. Partici- pation in profits is what interest is on capi- t fs Interest on labor. We should stand by the conclusion that labor, whether in- tellcctual or physical, is capital, and is en- titled to Interes as much as money. No other device can allay this strife, but the racognition of the equity of lubor without the loss of pride or profit or control by the employer. This right of equity of labor would give security to capital and increase the profits of the employer. The end of “strikes” is in industrial partnership, which would elevate employer and employe and give to the world a better class of work. Tabor strikes mean bankruptey to the capi- talist and starvation to the laborer. To a limited extent in our country and to a larger extent in England, co-operative trades In stores and workshops have been succezsful. ‘While I was in London last August there was held at the Crystal Palace the National Co-Operative Festival. It was a wonderful demonstration, In the concert hall was held a productive exhibition of the labor associa- tions whose chief end is co-operative work- shops where a knowledge of a trade can be had, where good work can be done during strikes; where goods can be had without being sweated, and where the profits are Justly divided. These organizations have increased in onc year from forty-six to 109, their sales from 3,335,000 to §6,600,000, and the capital and the profits have more than doubled. The capital has advanced from $1,635,000 to §3,- 200,000, and the profits from §$190,000 to 340,000, while the profits to labor were from $30,000 to $11,000. But the broader basis of acticn, brouder han these co-operative workshops und stores, is the larger principle of placing on a com mon level, as common tollers for a common end, the man of means, and he who gets his Mying by the sweat of his brains, and he who earps a liviihood by the sweat of his brow. The present distinetions in the indus- trial world are artificial, unjust, crucl; the effcot of which 15 to crush out manhood. In the great Industrial enterprises of today the man is lost in the operative, and the me- chanlo fs of less value than the machine. Mhero are times when the wage-earner feels the dignity of manhood; his spirit is embit- tered within him, and he retalintes by setrikon” . Hiy cuu?-muu 15 not always that ho is not well paid, but that his maoskood 18 not considered. If we continue to rate money higher than mauhood we intensity the temptation to apply the torch and d stroy the wealth of the world. But iny sympathics are not limited to the working classes, who are bound to remember that great indugtrial and commercial organi- zations require great sums of money to make them eficiert and profitable; that suct In- vestments involve hazards and are subject to the changes in market values; that when the workmun retires to his cottage at the close of the day, cats his evening meal and drops Into sound sleep. the capltallst in his alace muy spend a slcepless night thinking ow he can meet the obligations of the mor- They are in duty bound to aceept a moa senso principles, that wh have the patural right to decide for whom they will work and for what pay, the capi- talist has the undoubted right to'say whom he will ewplay, for what length of time, and what shall be the compensation. Bvery effort to rostrain & fellow workman from excrting Nis natural right by trades unions ar by strikes. and every attempt (o deprive the employer of his natural rights is a crims agalnst proporty and a deathblow to the iu- dustries of the world, There is litte differ- ence between the arrogance of capl'al and the arrogauce of labor; both are as unjust “RE they are unwire. The church is lagely 10 blame for the ‘”m disordered condition Iu the Indus- of Omaha con- are the three o they | trial world. She has cathedrals for the rich and_conventicles for the poor; aristocratic Sunday schools for the oftpring of the mil- lonaire, and ragged schools for the children of the workingman; eloquent, high-salaried clergymen for the affiuent, and cheap city missionaries for the indigent; she s a sycophant at the altars where the prosperous claim to worship, and the patronizer at the altars where the laborer bows in prayer. Were the church to demand the application of the golden rule In all business transac- tions, from simple barter to complicated banking, from the penny huckster to the mil- lionaire manufacturer and powerful copora- tion, peace would take the place of strife and prosperity the place of adversity. If the con- scientlous practice of Christianity cannot solve this vast and vexatious problem, then I de- spalr. The solution is not in trades unions, on the one hand, and business monopolies on the other; not in arbitration by the consent of the immediate parties in contention; not in leglslative enactments, for normal senti- ment is the energy of law; not in bloody riots, to be suppressed by standing armies; not in the unsettling of public confidence in the stability of the industrial conditions of but fn brotherly sympathy, common and to do as one would be done by, ght by Him who gave to the world the deepest and grandest principle of political cconomy: “'Seck ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. JOHN P. —— ARMOUR NOT COMING. Stock Man Explains Why the Great Packer is Holding Off. A local paper has again anncunced that Armour, the great Chicago packer, Is about to locate in South Omaha. The repetition of the story yesterday was doubfess occasioned by the visit of Mr. P. A, Valentine, one of Mr. Armour's managers. ¢ Everyb:dy would be pleased to know that Mr. Armour proposed to locate in South Omaha, but ther is no foundation for such a statement, It s true, however, that the Chicago packer has long had an eye on the Omaha market and may at some future time decide to locate a large packing plant here. N2, you can say there is no truth in the reprt of Armour's location here,” sald a prominent stockman yesterday. ‘“Mr. Ar- mour said to me a year ago that he might find it desirable and profitable to locate here some time in the future, but he has since made no definite plans to that end. The fact is,” continued the stockman, ‘no packer ‘could afford to locate here in the faco of proposed state legislation, that must injure, if not ruin, his business. The atti- tude of the present legislature is one of hos. tility to the stock interest, and it is also a menace to the manufacturing enterprises that can only exist in the viclnity of packing Should members of the legislature wisdom and adopt a policy calculated to foster and protect these enterprises, there will be plenty of capital seeking a place of investment at South Omaha. No, under present conditicns Phil Armour will not locate in South Omaha." ERs g The Modern Invalid, Has tastes medicinally, in keeping with other luxuries.

GOSPEL IS FOR THE INDIAN What Has Be:n Done and What Remainy to Be Done Among the Sioux, ADDRESS BY ONE OF THE TR'BE Takes Pains to Deny that the Only Good Indians Are Dead Indians—Remarks by Rev. C. G. Sterling Urging More Urgent Endeavor, Tho afterncon meting at the Young Men's Christian assoclation yesterday was devoted to the.subject of Christianity among the Indians, and the lecture room was filled with an interested audience. The main address of the afternoon was delivered by Mr. Coe, a Sloux Indian, who is now preparing for the ministry at the theological seminary in this city. Mr. Coe was born and reared among the Sioux, and for several years acted as an interpreter in the United States courts, He was converted through the efforts of the missionaries and Is now preparing to return among his people to add his efforts to the work of spreading the gospel on the various rosorvations, The subject of Mr. “Christianity Among the Red Men of the Plains.”” He recited at length the history of missionary efforts among the Sioux, and dwelt with particular emphasis on the part that the Young Men's Christian association had borne in the work. The first missionary work seemed to be of but littla avail, but as tho ‘Indians became better educated and a hold was gradually acquired by the mission- aries, the work was more effective and a great many of the red men were led to adopt Christianity. The speaker contended that the declaration that the only good Indian ds a dead Indian was far from being the fact and that the red men were fuly capable of being civilized and Christianized. He maintained that the schools that were supported by the missions had been far moro productive of good results than the more pretentious insti- tutions which were carried on by the gov- ernment. The leaven of religion that was infused, together with the educational train- ing, emphasized the civilizing influence of the school and led to much better results, Rev, Charles W. Sterling, who was for- merly a missionary among the Sioux, fol- lowed Mr. Coe, and he also declared that the red men could be saved through well directed missionary effort, Much had already been accomplished, but the fleld was broad and thore was still an urgent need for increased effort in this direction. Tho services were varied by a number of solos by Mr. A. Lansing. Next Sunday. after- noon the program will be devoted to ““India,” and one or two returned missionaries, as well as native Hindoostanese, will speak. Coe's address was “Wang,” that musical potpourl of nursury rhymes, Goodwinesque' humcr, Affenbachian suggestion and picturesque situation, with & comic opera tinge, continues an immense favorite, even in the press of newer operay for public favor. For several years it has steadily Kept its place in the amusement world and last evening a large audience en- joyed the fun and the singing as if it had been its first appearance at Boyd's. It would be useless to review at length the mrtive of the opera, for thousands there are who have laughed over the comicalities of the elongated comedian, who continues to play the regent of Siam, and have fallen in love with the rapid young Andromaniac who plays the crown prince. The bright plctures of Siamese life, the brilliant costumes and tho score cf the opera have all attracted at. tention and yet with a record of years of success the drawing powers of the opara are unimpaired, time seemingly adding a roundea and better’ developed condition to the pro- duction as given last night. Miss Verginia Earl {s a wonderfully bright young woman, who plays the crown prince Mataya with much credit, following as she does one of the dashing comediennes of the stage. Although suffering greatly from a severe sore throat, Miss Barl was brave enough to appear on the opening night, and she had the instant sympathy of the audi- ence, who realized her condition. Miss Earl is pretty, she is less suggestive than was Miss Fox, in some of her scenes, but always intelligent, and thoroughly painstaking in her efforts to give a well concelved interpre- tation of the character. She has a light so- prano voice, which, while by no means at its best, showed to’good advantage, b:th in solo and quartet work. Mr. Hart, the tall young man who plays Wang, is a recent acquisition*to the comis opera stage, having been seen on the local boards last season in farce comedy. He sug- gests DeWolt Hopper in many little tricks cf volce and gesture, while his legs are de. cldedly of the Hopper cut. Even with these suggestions, Mr. Hart makes Wang a de- cidedly funny being. He sings splendidly, having a rich baritone, and altogether is thoroughly acceptable. Miss Marion Singer, who s seemingly good for a decade yet in tho comic opera ranks, plays her old part ct the Frimousse and is quite as Killing as when the opera was first produced. Miss Drake is a petite Marie, with a very good voice. Colonel Fracasse is played acceptably by Charles Burrows, while the small bt, the district messenger boy, Is Rose Kroche, who won two scene calls for her celtic dialect, The others of the cast are worthy and the opera won successful recognition as in past times, “Uncle Tom's® Cabin,” perhaps the most familiar drama_before the American public and the one Which has been played and mis. played by professional, semi-professional and amateur actors in all the large citles, and indeed almst all the villages and hamlets In this country, was on the boards at the Empire theater yesterday afternoon and even. ing and_will continue for the rest of the week, While the present cast Is not excep- tionaily strong, there are some features which are oxcellent, the plantatilon songs and “Little Eva” being the most commendable, The combination of Martinot and Figman, who will be seen in this city at Boyd's the: ater on the last three eyvenings of this week, with matinee Saturday, is of considerablé interest to theater goers Miss Sadie Martinot has been known by her peculiar abilities to portray girlish ro'es and Mr. Max Figman has become highly cele- brated. through his well known powers as a stage manager and versatile actor. The play in which Martinot-Figman will bo seen in this city is entitled “The Pass- port.” It Is an irresistibly humorous com- bination of mixed situations and bright dia- logue. The clever work which Martinot and Figman have been noted for in the past may assure a fine production of this their first vehicle to show them as stars. Miss Martinot, who has just recently re- turned from England, has made purchases of very costly costumes from Felix and Worth and expects to surprise the female por- tion of the audience with thelr beauty and magnificence.

O1d Man Found it @ritical State and Sent to wiHbepital. Harry MaGee, aged wbout 70 years and an old resident of thiscolty, was reported by the police yesterday tokba sick and without as- sistance. He was:found by some of the nelghbors, who had:miissed him for the last few days at his home in the rear of the old Republican building, lying on his bed sick in a semi-unconsclous condition and too weak to help himself. Dr. Town was tele- phoned for and made a visit to MaGee's home. After an examination the patient was ordered sent to the Presbyterian hospital. The son of one of Magee's old time friends, learning of the condition of affaire, ordered a nurse and physiclan to attend him. It is not thought that he can live more than three or four days at the farthest, as his old age and the length of time he lay uncared for has reduced his vitality to a point too low to be regained. i The only way to cure catarrh is to purify the blood.
