To Put a Lighted Match
to a Haystack
and not expect it to burn is the extreme of folly.
Inflammatory words printed in the newspapers,
said to be spoken in secret meetings of labor
organizations, at this .particular time arc making
it harder for employers to maintain full forces and
full present wages, while the buying public is in a
waiting mood for lowering of prices.
The interests of work-givers and work-doers
arc indissolubly bound together.
