BROTHER JONATHAN
UNCLE HAM AM)
UNCLE SAM—The general discon
tent—
BROTHER JONATHAN—Bother,
the general discontent. I call it the
general stupidity.
U.S.—You may be right; if people
knew what this capitalism means from
which they expect a living while it
assuredly deals death to them
B. J.—That is not what I mean.
That is all stuff about capitalism deal
ing death. What J mean is if peo
ple were not so stupid they would
know in what way they could im
prove their condition and turn capital
iestn to good use.
U. K.—And what ts your way?
B. J.—I shall state my way if you
have time t' listen to me, because I
shall want to 3tate systematically.
U. S.—“Systematically" is jood! Lot
her rip!
B. J.—We are two here, you and 1.
U. S.—That’s profoundly true
B. J.—Jf there is only one hat pro
duced by us, we could not each have
a hat, could we?
U. S.—That's another chunk of un
questionable wisdom.
B. J.—For each to have a hat we
must produce two hats, not so?
U. S.—We could not each have one
it there were no two hats.
B. J.—Now, that is the A. B. C.
of the whole question.
U. S.-r-That scents very simple, but!
it may be too simple; it is certainly
to simple for me
B. J.—It follows from this A. B.
C. that all is needed is to increase
production. If wo can produce a hun
dred hats we shall each have fifty—
l'. B.—Not so fast.
B. J.—If our people could only in
crease tlie amount of the wealth pro
duced, til would be hunky. He who has
a million would have two million; he
who has $5,000 would have $10,000; he
who has $1,000 would have $2,000; and
the poor workingman, who today hits
nothing, would have
U. S.—Twice as much; twice noth
is nothing
B. J.—How you talk.
L1. S.—Surely not like a booby as
you do Your "system" ol’ reasoning
amounts to this; “The more the work
ers produce the more they wll get”—
H. J.—That’s just it.
U. S.—And that is just nonsence.
The fact and the reason is just the
reverse: “The more the workers prod
duce the less they get.”
B. J.—Absurd!
IT. S.—Which enables the working
man to produce more?
B. J.—The machine
U. S.—Say that in a room 100 men
are at work without the machine and
they earn $2 apiece—
It J.—Very well.
1 . S.—A machine is brought in by
which 50 men can produce more than
100 before. Do not these 50 men now
turn out more goods?
B. J. They do.
U. S.—Are the other 50 kept at
work?
B. J.- No, they are displaced.
I'. S.—As far as these 50 are con
cerned, to begin with, your "system”
falls through; more is produced, and
they get nothing, being thrown out
of work
Ft. J.—Hem.
U. S.—Now, let us return to the 50 I
who are kept at work.
B. J.—Well they get something.
U. S.—That is not enough for your
"system”; they must not only get
something, they must get more than
they did before because they are pro
ducing more. Now, do they get more?
B. J.—W-e-l-l
U. S.—But they don’t get any less.
U. K.—At first not; later on, yes.
The men who are thrown out of work
won’t starve; they’d rather work for
$1 than do nothing and die. So they
apply for work at $1. And the result
is that, whereas before 100 men were
getting $2 a piece, now that the labor
in that shop turns out with the ma
chine more than before 50 of the men
get nothing and go tramping, and the
other 50 get onehalf of what they did
before. That is the cause of the dis
content.
B. J. remains dumb.—Weekly People.
ENGLISH LOH1) ADVOCATES
SIX HOUR DAY
Lord Leverhulme, head of a great
Lngjlt.il soap industry, tile capital of I
which is 200 million dollars, lias very |
pronounced views as to the effect of i
the great war on the future position
of the nation’s workers.
A St Louis paper says:
Lord Leverhulme is himse’f a model
employer, having provided for ills
work people a model town in which
they live under delightful social con
ditons, and having provided also fa
cilities by which they may secure di
rect financial interest in the concern
in which they are wage earners.
“It may, 1 think be taken for grant
ed,” he says, “that when peace is re
stored, workers will not be willing
to return to pre-war conditions of
wage and living. I am convinced they
wil never concent to go back to them.
"The war has altered many things;
it has broadened our horizon; it has
given us new points of view; it has
clarified our thoughts: it has intro
duced radical changes into our social,
industrial and commercial systems.
"Many men have for the first time
tasted and enjoyed the full fruits of
labor; they have grown accustomed to
a higher plane; they will strive to
remain on that level and, if possible
rise above it, and with this aspiration
I am in ful sympathy and accord. And
if, after the war any attempt should
be made to thrust labor back into the
depths from which it has ascended it
would lie, in my opinion, not only a
disastrous economic blunder, but a
policy akin to a crime against civil
ization and humanity.
“The humdrum life led by the vast
majority of the industrial class is
little understood by those whise lines
are cast io pleasant places. 1 doubt if
even those who have been withdrawn
from it to face the dangers, excite
ment and hardships of the trench and
tile battle line wil care to cnduce it
again.
“The only way in which tills dreary,
mind numbing, soul deadening monot
ony can be relieved is by the adoption
of a 6-hour working day. While the
mechanical machine would run for
twelve hour a day instead of eight,
the human machines, if 1 may use the
phrase, would consist <4 two shifts,
each working six hours. I am a great
advocate of this.
"And the extra tours of leisure
could tie devoted to mental or physical
dcvoloptpent, thus fitting the workers
tor higher things. To idea! may not
be attainable at nice, but it is worth
! striving for.”—The People's Press.

First thing we know we're going to have a Bone Dry country
out and out. Already the mighty prohibition wave is engulfing
"demon rum" and the flood gates of righteous antagonism against
John Barleycorn is going to sweep him into everlasting oblivion.
Thousands of men in the country over are going to shortly find it
impossible to get their daily, most of them their hourly "nips”
and those fellows are going to look up the best bottled drink they
can get to wet their whistles with. They are not going to “get.
off" booze, and drink any pink “tea slop" Oh no—they want
something with a delightful relish—a sparkle and a zest and the
AKSALA drink is going to fill the bill to a T-Y-T. Wets every
spot in the internal arid district, soaks it down good. X* dost
left In your throat after a bottle of AKSALA For sale every
