being beneficial to both. In other
words, the only healthy industrial con

has the best men obtainable for his
work and the workman feels that his
labor is being sold at the highest
market price. The important thing
for the average workman Is not that
he shall have exceptionally high
wages during times of great prosper
ity, but that he shall have continuous
employment at fair wages at all
times. ' The interests of both great
forces of production are mutual and
identical. There should, therefore, be
the most friendly and unprejudiced
attitude possible toward such capital
as is fair and reasonable in its actions
toward labor in order that as much
harmony as possible may prevail to
bring the greatest prosperity to both.
