You
can easily bring about this dialogue:
"That mare in the box stall is a beautiful horse. Is she fast?"
Rich Owner--"Yes, very fast. I value her more highly than any
horse I have. "
"How many miles do you drive her every day?"
"Oh, I don't drive her EVERY day. I drive her one day, and
have her jogged quietly the next. When I do drive her, I jog her
for two or three miles to warm her up, then speed her a mile or
two, and then take her home. She covers perhaps six or seven
miles in an entire day's work."
"But you COULD drive her twenty-five miles, couldn't you, and
drive her as far as that EVERY day?"
"Oh, yes, I COULD, of course, if I was only thinking of using
her up and getting all I could out of her now. But, you see, I
mean to use her for a brood-mare; I expect to get some splendid
colts from her, and I don't want to wear out her vitality. I
might get a little more fun or a little more work out of her just
now, BUT I WOULD LOSE IN THE LONG RUN." ----
Now, gentlemen, the labor union rule limiting a day's work simply
considers the workingman as that imaginary rich person considers
his beautiful horse.
And the feeling of the labor unions should be shared by the
entire country.
The highly skilled American mechanic is one of the chief assets
of this country; the intelligent, scientific, up-to-date American
farmer is another highly important asset.
