Capital still has the long suit. Cap ital has too much advantage. Some men are , easily, growing, too rich. Capital in general is not giving a fair share to labor. The division of the fruits of industry are not just. - But rashness can never gain friends for the couse of labor. I like Presi lent Wilson's idea of driving out evil by turning on the light of publicity. in securing reforms calculated to be beneficial to the commonwealth. JAMES T. WILLIAMS. Tbmks Labor Umons Will Hang ' Themselves A MAN should hardly be expected to continue striving to push a mule out of a mudhole when every time he makes a friendly push the mule kicks him in the face with both feet. The man will eventually learn that the muTe is destitute of : - a cooperative Let labor unions get the facts and sP"t ana wm i mm pensn m uc hold them up to the public for judg- udhoIe J' - ment.

This applies to organizations of individuals as well as to single in dividuals. Farmers are giving organ ized labor r6pe in the form of food and " clothing and settling their strike, riot and labor disturbance bills.. The day of hanging, determined solely by organized labor, is dead sure to come. The farmer, innocent of guilt in reel ing off the rope, will live to see the execution and prosper thereafter as he has never prospered before. - , - C. C. CONGER, Jr. : Upon it, ' ; v -" " ";, 7 .. . :. Furthermore, I consider this an in opportune time for labor to demand more pay and shorter hours. We have reached the limit in that direc tion. "Labor needs the cost of living reduced. This can be done by a re duction in the price of. manufactured articles, and still give capital a fair share. Let the labor - unions begin to clamor for lower prices and strike against high prices of manufactured articles and excess profits by middle-" men on farm products and jhey will : get the support they deserve from the farmer.

Organized labor aims to raise the standards of living for workers in town industries by raising wages, es tablishing a uniform eight-hour working day in factories and mines, creating better working conditions and more healthful living conditions. In short, the town worker is trying to secure a comfortable living for himself and family arid provision for old age as reward for his labor, to which he is justly entitled, and the farmer should' be wilMng for him to have it. .
