Study those below you.
Glance over your own little collection of "wage slaves" in your
kitchen and wherever your money is spent.
There is a problem there for you when you shall have finished
hurrahing for your own eight hours.
AGAIN THE LIMITED DAY'S WORK
WISELY HANDLED, IT MEANS EMANCIPATION FROM INDUSTRIAL SLAVERY.
We refer again to the much discussed rule in labor unions
limiting the amount of work that a man shall do in a day. As a
matter of fact, in many unions no such rule exists. In some it
does exist, and MUST exist.
There is nothing in the notion that limiting the day's work will
diminish the excellence of American workmen. On the contrary,
the BEST work is done slowly and carefully. The WORST work is
done at high speed.
That very aristocratic financier who denounces the regulations as
to a day's output will say to the man who is doing something
FOR HIM, "Take your time; I want this done very carefully."
Why should not EVERYBODY'S work be done carefully?
But it is not merely careful work that is involved in the
regulating of the day's work. The welfare of the nation and of
the nation's future is involved.
Go with the man who denounces labor unions for limiting the
amount of work that a good American mechanic should do in one
day, to the stable in which that man keeps his fine horses.
