The Seattle Lesson. The wholo country draws a lgh of rafllaf over the ending ot tlio Seattlo Htrlko. Union labor has boon found to bo only slightly talntod with bol shovlsm, thoreforo the general repud iation of the attempt to start a social resolution. Tho wholo movomont to ostabllsh a new order by force will fail In UiIh country becauso of the powor of the middle class population. Organized labor here belongs to the bourgeoisie, which Is anthemu to the European reds. Tho great majority of all union men 'be United Stato. have a stake in the country. Thoy have families and homes and recog nized plncos In the social structure Thuy are not to be deluded Into throw ing away their start and their solf rospoct because boiuo theorist tolls them that the only way for labor to get Us propor roward Is to Junk all existing Institutions and make a fresh start under an ontlroly now systom. When tho real teat comos it will bo found that tho Amorlcan fannor will stand llko a rock against all the lures nnd wllos ot tho bolshovlsts. With tho mlddlo classes in tho cities and towns ho will always keop this coun try on nn even keel. It Is a mattor of profound encouragement to know that theso sane and conservative ele ments can, depend upon tho support of tho responsible eloment In organ Izod lahor. Tho Soattlo oxporionco shows that this elemont Is apparently tho controlling force among tho soa tionod union worklngmcn. It is a sign , of hopo for tho entire nation. Lin coln Journal.

In other words, if we had paid ,$13. 13, we would have made no profit. Or, if we had received a quarter of a cent per pound less for dressed beef we would have made no profit. It is doubtful whether any other business is run on so close a margin of profit. This is bringing the producer and the consumer pretty close togetherwhich should be the object of any industry turning raw material into a useful form. This remarkable showing is due to enormous volume, perfected facilities (packing plants strategically located, branch houses, refrigerator cars, etc.), and an army of men and women chosen and trained to do their special work. This, and many other points of interest, are found in the Swift & Company Year Book for 1919, just published which is brought out for the public as well as for the 25,000 Swift & Company shareholders. The Year Book also represents the packer's side of the Federal Trade Commission investigation, upon which Congress is asked to base action against the industry. Many who have never heard the packer's side are sending for the Year Book. Would you like one ? Merely mail your name and address to the Chicago office and the book will come to you.
