The Hopeful Outlook for Labor on This Labor Day of 1913 MERICAN labor dtesses ranks today not only proudly but hopefully, for things at last are coming its way. True, the cost of living is high and it has been a big struggle to force laggard wages to keep somewhere near step But the hopeful factor in the equation is that today, for almost the first time, labor does not have to do all its fighting alone Why, it seems only yesterday that the law was being swung to bat labor over the head every time it voiced dis content with unfair conditions ; What a difference now! State after state adopting work- ingmen's compensation, decreasing working hours, stiffening the requirements of health and safety in the work places, dis- cussing a minimum wage, adopting mothers’ pensions, in] short, throwing emphasis at last upon HUMAN values. It doesn’t seem likely that, in our day at least, society can be fixed so that the worker will get the full product of toil, though each approach toward that end is a step in t right direction But it should be comforting to older men in the ranks of | 1 his } he} Theyve turned th’ corner right round towara th’ SCHOOL the workers that no longer is the discussion of this great | ideal confined within one group of the ocmmunity and | laughed at by the rest of the people as visionary It has | become, among all, THE BIG AND SERIOUS PROBLEM | OF THE TIME, to which is being addressed the keenest study. : The dignity, the nobility of honest work, is better under stood today than formerly, as society swings away from its mad worship of wealth and toward a fairer arrangement of its distribution : Many who once looked down on the ranks of industry as from a superior level, now begin, for the first time in use- less lives, to see the pettiness, the shame, of riding on others $. ; nex is a good sign that increasingly the children of the rich | are refusing to be sacrificed on the altar of inherited ease but are seeking for light and work and duties. | It is a move ment directly connected with the better appreciation ot labor ; with the new perception that it is fundamentally dishonest to let others pay your way But perhaps the greatest reason why hope should be the commanding note this day lies in the change which is coming over our conception of education. Until lately most of our schooling has been planned on | a basis which assumed that to do good and useful work with the hands was perhaps necessary and tolerable but not pre- eminently honorable. . Thus we have had public schools aiming almost exclu sively to turn out “smart” pupils—pupils with wits so well sharpened that they would not need to do hand work for a| living but might hope i ¢ tune through the trick of appropriating the fruits of the toil of others. : Say what we will, upon the school depends the trend of a nation’s growth. And here we were fearing children to despise the underlying value in our national ife—straight- Happily we have begun to see the folly of this course.

You have found work for the most part a hard, exacting, cruel thing, because its beauties haven't been unfolded and because, under the conditions set around you by greed, you weren't allowed the chance to find the joy in it 4 But your children, when this revolution in school ideals s further along, will go to work blithely because it will not slaving to enrich some one else—it will be the joyful ex- ercise of their own immortal souls, expressed in conscious creative effort, the greatest happiness there is And as they find out the possibilities of pleasure in doing work that appeals to and stimulates their spirit, they will very likely tire of the present sordid, selfish scheme of indus try which limits its rewards to a privileged few, and establish in its stead the ideal of brotherhood—co-operation.

APITAL'S ablest organ, the New York Times, fighting the proposal of government owned railways in Alaska,| denies that it is Uncle Sam’s duty to prevent private capital from making a dollar up there. Piffle! Nobody says it is. To state the case that way is to beg the true question. Of course private capital should make all the dollars it can in Alaska provided: IT MAKES THEM FAIRLY, BY HONE T PUBLIC SERVICE; AND NOT BY TYRANNIZING OVER LABOR, MONOPOLIZING PUBLIC TREASURE AND OVERCHARGING CONSUMERS. But it isn’t to the advantage of anybody save a few exploiters that the natural riches of our northern possession should be coined into fortunes for private adventurers when Uncle Sam himself is fully able to develop them as a public service. The challenge of the Poindexter plan remains unan- swered. It invites private capital and private enterprise to a fair and square test under even conditions; to go in along- side ‘Uncle Sam and beat him if they can. Not a word in the New York Times about that. No eager backing of the boastedly superior genius of private initiative; no enthusiastic show of confidence in its ability to demonstrate on this visible testing ground that ernment ownership is the mistake we have His page been told that it is Now, if you, Mr. Ordinary Citizen, were sure that you could knock the spots out of a public undertaking in a fair competition, would you expend your energy complaining against the public fer daring to consider the eitartaking, or would you throw up your hat in joy and say: “Come on; let’s have the try-out’? Honestly, doesn’t it begia to look very much as if the boasts about the superiority of private capital were like the small boy’s furious whistling in the darkened Woods? JOY TO Mr. E.
