The same God who laid upon the children of Israel the
injunction to observe the sanctity of the Sabbath proclaim
ed also the holiness of toil and declared that labor is the
law of salvation. In this crucial period of human his
tory it behooves us all to give heed not to one-seventh of
this commandment only, but to the six-sevenths with
which the Almighty glorified toil and translated work in
to a form of worship.
There is nothing in this commondment that we of the
present day are warranted in interpreting as Divine Sane
tion for shorter hours or artificial restriction of produc
tion. "Six days shalt thou labor" not six hours a day,
not even eight hours a day, but so many hours as may be
required to do all thy work. , So long as production lags
behind the needs of a hungry world, all our work is not
done, and every hour wrested from the working schedule
of the week is an hour of violence to humanity and of
blasphemy to God.
If the executives, the sales managers, the bookkeepers,
the stenographers and the clerks, the advertising men aild
those of the sales force do not work with a keener sense
of the obligations that rest upon them if those in the
high places do not make their brains more productive,
small license -shall they have for pasting the stone of opp
robrium at the ignorant, the brutal and the reactionary
in the ranks -of organized or unorganized physical labor.
