Undoubtedly the war is working great changes in all of us. {t has exploded us out of our rut. We are not thinking as we used to think, We see old things in a new light. We find flaws in old opinions that not long ago we strenuously de- fended. Men we thought we knew show traits of character we never suspected. Doubtless they see a change in us. The world itself seems smaller. The map of Europe takes on a new and lively interest. It is humanized. It is now more than mountains and valleys and rivers and cities and lakes. It is men and women and children. National boundaries move back and forth with the armies. School geographies show us only what was. The daily newspaper map tells us what is. It’s all very wonderful, thrillingly interesting. None of us fully understands it all. And it's no easy trick to keep one’s reason on straight. But those _who want to understand must not jump too quickly to conclusions. Let’s take one example of hair-trigger reason- ing.

PAGE 4 which is taking advantage of the exigency and exacting its pound of flesh, While capital is co-operating with the government to keep prices down, labor is demanding and receiving repeated advances in wages. The hopefainess of the situation lies in the fact that laber is only following the example of predatory capital, and sooner or later will profit by the better ex- ample now being set.” It is true, many capitalists and employers have shown a splendid spirit in giving gladly their serv- ices to the government without compensation. But they could afford it. Labor might have done the same, but couldn't afford it. And we know of no America will come out of the most stupen- dous war of history still rich in material pos. sessions, but with a new soul. It is true that this is a rich man’s war, but net in the seanc intended by the ceiners of the phraw, Men of wealth, preminence and position are sending their sons to the front, subscribing millions to the Liberty Loans, paying unheard-of taxes, and in thousands of instances are working long hours each day for the government without pay.” Now if we stop there, most of us can agree with that statement, including many of us who in the past have pictured many of those very men of wealth and prominence as selfish, sordid dollar- instance where the demands of organized labor— chasers and exploiters of labor. But we see now or even the repeated demands—for increased something new in them—at least new to some of wages, has kept pace with the increased cost of us. And we admire it. living. It was inevitable that wages should go up. They had to go. But even when they did go up the purchasing power of labor was no greater than it was before. When they got more dollars they didn’t get more bread, meat, potatoes, shoes, cloth- ing or coal. editor who wrote that editorial didn’t stop there. He attempted to show us the other side of the shield, and followed up with this criti- cism of labor: “In glaring contrast to the action of the business men is the attitude of organized labor, But the eee Labor, Capital and Patriotism In trying to hold food prices ernment to get them down what they were before the fixed they were fixed hig before the war.

When prices were her than they had been If prices wages go up faster than prices do, labor won’t be as well off as it was before. So it hasn’t been any part. Labor demanded no selfish grab on labor's ound of flesh. Its spirit has been quite as fine as that of the men of wealth who give freely their time hitherto unheard-of taxes. This is especially true officials and pay willingly their of organized labor. The of the American Federation of Labor, under the leadership of Samuel Gompers, have gone the limit in backing up the government in its con- duct of the war. And all who seek the t ruth will find that there is glory for both sides of the industrial shield, and that no class enjoys a monopoly of patriotism.
