Labor and Capital Two Stories ‘APITAL and labor are in constant discussion and frequently in col- lision, as we all know, and we know there would not be so much discussion and such frequent collision if ‘things were right at the bottom. Of course, they are not right at the bottom. Herman Moneypenny told _ this story: “About fifteen years ago I had to have a butler’s pantry built on my house. The brick work of it was to cost $1,500. It was done in the sum- mer when I was living in the house, and I watched the work. Two men came to lay the bricks, one a Scandinavian, the other an Irishman. They both appeared promptly, and took their coats off at 8 o'clock. Then the Scandinavian pro- | eceded to lay bricks and laid them for two hours. Then he put his coat on and went away. The Irishman read the newspaper, smoked his pipe and laid a brick occasionally, and stayed on the job all day. I watched that going on for three days, then I asked the Scandi- navian why he went away so early. He said: ‘My union does not allow me to lay more than 150 bricks—that’s a day’s work. I can do it easily in two hours, then I go off and work on another job | as a carpenter. I can do in a half-day | all that the carpenters’ union will allow to be done in one day by one man. They do not know I am laying brick or I would be fired from the union.’ That is one side.” Then Herman told another story about a man who built a factory that cost $20,000 and manufactured a spe- cialty that he understood and made $35,000 a year. His banker was im- pressed with his profits and said, “You must finance your business.” The man | said, “I am satisfied. I am doing well; why finance it?” Presently the banker bought the business from him for half and with that for a | sold a million dollars of securities for $20,000 of invested has which stood After a while the management got bad and the business went to smash, and there was doubtless a cry raised as usual for government protection of American industry and especially of American labor. Those stories illustrate both sides— the tendency of capital is to exploit the public, including labor, and the disposi- tion of labor is to get back by doing the least possible amount of work for the money that it exacts. Of course, that is all rotten. Material prosperity of mankind depends upon production. The limitation of efficiency by trade union rules rots character and debases manhood. So does the exploitation of labor and the public generally by greedy and dishonest financiering, of which inchurst | NORTH CAROLINA ‘The world center of golf.
