Do not be a clock watcher to the ranks of Industry. Thoae who wait for hours to strike or whistle* to blow and "soldier" at the bench, machine or to the office seldom or never get very far ahead to the ranks. They never get any more pay because they are not worth more and often ere worth leas than they get Remember the old adage that a man who never does cny e or as much as he gets paid for never gets very much pay.

Our Future Prosperity Dapwida on • Better Under*tending and More Practical Application of Oet-Topether Spirit In Industry—Must Eliminota Trcublo-Breeder* and Agitator*. A letter poblic understanding and appm-totion of the needs and problem* of our American Industries la conceded on every aide to be one of the Important national re'” rements for the development of our future Industrial prosl'crity. Few people seem to under-! and that the majority of our business men are fair minded, reasonable beings, legitimately engaged In the development of our economic resource*. In the opinion of our btutoesa leaders this misunderstanding leads the public, through -the legislator*. Into thought leas and Unnecessary acta of reprisal against all branches of Industry, which are often Inimical to the best Interest* of their own community. To cure this lamentable condition It is first essential that a closer degree of co-o]>omtlT* action for the common goo-1 be established between employee* and emplojere. The first step to this direction Is to eliminate tb* eelfi'h, destructive agitator. This hap. py event would greatly facilitate a general get together spirit among ~ ployers and worker*. Th# Work That Man Do. The nation is confronted with inora work than ever before—ship* to build, fan 'ties to enlarge, railways to complete. new foreign business to be attracted and I“lp to be extended to tbs unfortunates on the other side. There areaboutSO.OOO.OOOmon at work;lf they work ten hour* a day that Is 300.000.000 hour* a day or 06.000.000.000 hours a year. If they work eight hours It Is 74,‘''•O.000.000. or a dlffervm-e of 18.720.(■ 0,000 hours a year. At eight hours a day this-means that about 7,400000 more men most be employed to do the work that could be dune by the ::o.000,0oo. and where are they to

come from?

During the |>est year there has oeeu a unltied and standardlxed banking currency system tried and not found wanting. But itxre nre yet other step* to be taken before the Ideal of economic unit is worked out. There are 012.000 stockholders of railroads In the United States. A large proportion of them depend ou the earnings of the carrier* for a meager Income. Many of these atockbotdera have lore than $1,000 a year Income, and they ate unable to earn wore, being elderly |icr*ous or women. Thonaands of them are former employees of the r-.ilroads wuo deiwnd upon their atock dividends to pay their rent and their grocery bills. Labor and Capital Are Partners The manufactured output of the United States amounts to f2S.000.000,000 In value per annum. This l* three times the amount of the yearly output of the ranches, farms, orchards and gardens; it Is a doacn times th* output of the mines; It is larger than the combined manufactures of any two foreign nation.. Labor received, a* Ita share of the fruits of Industry, wtgea amounting almost to aeven billion dollar* In the single year of 1914. Doe* not this prove that the Intercut* of employees ure Joint with thoae who employ them uud that a real partner-
