English workmen used to set great store by a doctrine called “ca canny,” a@ doctrine of decreased production. The idea wes that if a man couldn't get his wages rained, at least he could punish his employer by putting limit on what he gave for them. But it didn't work for the very simple reason that the only result Was inereased prices on everything the English workman had to buy—increased prices that be had created himself. It was like the child's saying, “Cut off your nowe to mpite your face.” ‘The American worker easily understands it is the goods he and other workers produce that he lives by. His only quarrel is with the distribu tion of the: er they are produced, It is @ reasonable quarrel, too, in most cases, Only it would be a very silly one tf it resulted in the production of no goods at all, and hence nothing to distribute, The right program for American labor is to inxiat on and do thetr share towards ax much production as possible while the argument about distribution is going on.
