ANOTHER LETTER ON THE LABOR
QUESTION.
((‘oniiriued from first panel
of human society in foundation. hon.
est and right in object arid intention.
seeking to promote the Welfare and
aiming to secure the prosperity of all.
how comes it that the labor urilou fails
in irrrrrrcdlutc accmrrplislrmcnt of its
purpose? Generations of men have
passed over the world. each witnessing
the ready sinned play between capital
and labor, and all going hence before
the conclusion of the titanic pcri‘ormI
once. is this struggle to endure for-
ever. or is there It way to finish. a
direct path to final security and peace
in the industrial world“?
We take it. that a simple analysis
of the case between capital arid labor
shows that labor is in possession and
can exercise exclusive control over the
factors which would lit-speak for its
cause Ii speedy. triumphant. and Irbitl
big issue.
The wise “it‘ll. all long: and sirorrr.‘
on economics and sociology. with tr
dash of poetry in their intellectual
coiiipositlou, tell us much about labor

and rent, middleman and profit, and
about. a host of divisions. distinctions.

The first step iii the solution of the
labor problem is to Ilisrrriss and forget
all which the smart men with pr'ofes
sorial antecedents. the soft tried with
lnIiIevolent instincts. lllt‘ kindly nrcrr
with axes to grind. have had to say.
The question should be examined by
plain, comiriou sense. viewed in tin
clen" light of everyday business priri
cipic. and settled upon ‘lllt‘ uuurovnblc
basis of ordinary. simple fact.
To win, IbcI'II ill‘l‘ certain lliiurzs

It can and should so exert its
own strength as to make its object

outside interference. Labor should
never (I‘Ollllil‘tilllil-ii}.il matter: it should
never arbitrate a matter. it should
risk for nothing saw its own. and that
it. should secure and hold. And it
should and can do it. and that. too.

Labor can and should shape its own
affairs. and \vliIiIsocvcr pertains there

agcmcnt. with an ere sing iv to its
own Ivcll'arc. Labor can Iommaud and
control whatsoever is essential.[\vlrat.»
socver is necessary. to enable itself
to accomplish and to secure the object
of labor.
Occupying this position. with its ell
fort well aird wisely directed, labor has
the‘power to achieve the entire. pur-
pose of its exertion. and there is on
earth uo might which can guiusay.
Labor alone. of all this world, is in
possession of LllPISt‘t‘l‘t‘l of capital.
lludcr the busy fingers of labor is
capital ever“ found; and elsewhere nev-
cr found. Where labor works. capital
dances in attendance. indeed. Capital
follows the working man as the shad-
ow follows the substurrcc. Why then
may not labor assume and discharge
all functions which do in fact pertain
and imrrrediately depend. upon its
oliicc'.’ ‘
With the courteous perursisiuu of the
editor. in another letter. we shall eu-
tieavor to present a simple plan of
solution of this much vexed question.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.~—1{eou lir-
ter'est is manifest as to what will be
the program of subjects'of the North
American (.‘oirscrvntion Conference bc-
IweI-rr representatives of Canada. Mexp
co and the United States. in this city.
February 18. in his letter to President
Diaz. of Mexico. and Lord .Grey. of
Canada. President Roosevelt outlined .
as the purpose of the Conference the
consideration of "mutual interests iii‘
voived in theeconscrvatiou of natural
rut-sources" and the preparation or ‘fa
general plan adapted to promote the
welfare of the nations (.Iorrcerued."
There is a pr‘crtywell defined feeling.
however. that definite topics, Will have
to be discussed. That the Canadians
take this view is indicated by the fact
that they have sent to the National
Conservation Commission compilations
of specific regulations governing the
disposal of their mutual resources.
Last summer's forest tires on both
sides of the line between the United
States are so receutin the minds of
both countries that' undoubtedly the
possibility of some (Io-operative scheme
of fire protection is likely to be touch
ed on. There are other important in
ternnrional questions concerning nat-
ural resources which ran hardlI fall
of consideration.
The Canadian and Mexican dele-
gates to the Conference are couriiI
prepared to contribute suggestions II.
well as to receive thorn. Their repi .
reseirtativcs at the international meet--
lug will be prominent. specialists on
the various phases of the subject to be
discussed. Conservation has not been ,
limited to the United States. Early last. , '
year. for instance. every acre of the
