REAPING THE REWARD
(By Donald Williams).• .
Edmonton, Sept, 12th, 1919.
Some weeks ago the leading Edmon-
ton picking plant, which is an off-
shoot Of one of the big 'Chicago con-
cerns, advertised eluite widely that
they had made a large shipment of
Meat to Italy. We presume the trans-
action was financied out of the ninety
odd millions of credit our paternal,
"Union" Government extend to foteign
countries that manufacture/ s might
export rather than sell at reasonable
prices to the home' consumer. Elabor-
ate and expensive precautions were
taketeto insure delivery in goo cl condi-
tion. The carcasses were sew& up in
burlap, were specially packed, in re-
frigerator cars, and two men accomp-
anied the shipment from Edmonton to
Montreal. It was then hurried from
the cars to the boat at extra precau-
tions, which means extra expense.
The cattle were raised and pur-
chased in Alberta. • They were of the
same quality and bought on a par with
those sold for meat in the city of
Edmonton. The meat in the city is
delivered in trucks to the retailer.
There is no extra cost for enclosing
in burlap*, no expense for iced cars,
and we pay 28 cents to 30 cents for

The public s ms inclined to dis-

erent classes* I of peo-
S OW11 angle and pe-
iew, are likely to re- h
and complicated mat- a
unions, but it seems more and xnere
inclined to follow Sarabo's adviee a-
bout the -yellow jackets -"Let 'em
Ione, they's organized."
If the parties of the first and Sec-
ond part to the labor ' controversy
would confine their scrap to their own
• back yards or even to the street it
would not so much concern the farmer,
but latterly labor is attempting to
organize farm help, and this, too, at
• the very time when both the laborer
and the employer are charging the
farmer with profiteering. Ile -is there-
fore becoming, without any act of his
own, party of the third paft to one
of the greatest contests in all history,
presumably between capital.and labor,
actually between work and the pro-
ceeds of work. -
• The farmer knows *what labor
really raeans. With him labor is not
a commodity nor yet a lassof people;
it is human exertion -real man power
intelligently and faithfully directed
to specific ends and in such a wa3T as
• to operate with and not against the
forces and the agencies of Nature.
Knowing this he believes that the
general public is brutally wrong in its
attitude toward those people of the
city who work' only as employees, and
he believes equally that organized
labor is wrong in that up to date it
seeks to gain its ends at the expense
of efficiency and of that loyalty to the
job which alone can insure such re-
sults in quantity and quality as shall
push the world ahead.
The farmer is amazed, for example,
at the flat union wage with no differ-
ential as a reward to skill. and he
wonders how much longer th really
skilled workmanewill continue to "tail
up" the poor and indifferent worker
just because he carries a union card.
The farmer aseumes, however, that
this condition is temporary. He be-
lieves that union labor will succeed in
proportion as it ettablishes and exacts
high standards of industrial efficiency.
He believes that in proportion as it
does this the local unions will free
themselves from the frequent rule of
their own turbulent minorities, and
they will prosper thereby just as the
general federation has prospered and
commended itself by its. success in
overcoming the alien agitator who
*would make a political party out of
the labor elass. For all this the fafm-
er believes he has abundant evidence in
his own. experience.
Particularly is the farmer in a
position. to know that continued in-
creases in wages without. regard to
the true value of the work accom-
plished constitutes a vieious circle'
which not only gets nowhere in in-
elustry but .is eertain to react in the
end upon the laborer. himself through
the food he feeds his family. This
is shown by the very labor situation
that now confronts the. farmer.
The, author has repeatedly pointed
out that organized labor ,has succeed-
ed in exacting a wage that in many
eases is more thaa. twice what the
farmer has,ever received for his labor.
For example the Chicago Milk Com-
mission denied a price for milk which.
would haVe netted the farmer only
wenty-five cents an hour for his labor
dually bestowed in its production.
What the farmers received, by their
eport, was a little less than half the
wage of a hodcarrier or -a mechanie's
elper, and lees than it quarter of the
mount which the Chicago reasons are th
eceiving at e present time. -
e And this is not an isolated case.
It has been repeatedly shown. that a
farmer, after , providing land, tearns
and tools, cannot work land enough
with his own hands to produce a net
labor income equal to that of the soft -
coal miner who, furnishes nothing.
Cost -accounting methods indicate
hat the net labor income from the
ne-man farm is always to be express -
d in three figures, and generally
mmd six hundred •dollars. Over a-
ainst this is to be counted the fact
hat masons and plumbers get a dol-
ar an hour, Carpenters ace on strike
or the same wage, and the press
arries the item that cbal miners are
ow demanding eight dollars for a
ix -hour day. In one way or another
hese discrepancies must be lessened,
ither by a modified union wage or
by increased cost of food„
Under present conditions farm
wages are "sky high" and still going
up. Three, four and five dollars a
day and board! And why not when
masons are getting eight dollars, and
the only qualifieation is the possession
of a union card! But if these prices
are to prevail on the land. what about -
the cost of food? If the 'farmer pays
these wages, then food will of neces-
sity go .up because of the increased
cost of production. If he refuses to
hire and "gets along" with *hat he
can do himself, then will he Ifroduce
less, and food will go up in price ,from
sheer scarcity. In this connection it
must not be forgotten that of the en- .
tire cost of food abdut two-thirds is
labor.
If the higher -priced. labor -were cor-
respondingly more efficient, the matter
would not be so bad, but in general
the contrary is true, and this, too,
will inerease the east of food, Whether
or not the farmer is correct in his
general notions about labor, in one
respect he is dead right: namely, that
entirely independent of the wage ques-
tion the world will get what it honest-
ly earns and no more, and that real
income from human labor will be ex-
pressed not in dollars and\wages but
in food and other gods and in pro-
portion to the energy tliat is intelli-
gently and skillfully expended. What-
ever the wages, the final rewards of
labor -will be realized only in stith
concrete commodities as food, cloth-
ing, and shelter, actually produced.
Por all this the farmer has good
grounds in Ids everyday experience.-
"Make hay'while the sun ihines" is
a homely old adage but it expresses
not only the 'farmer's experienee with
work but the very heart of the labor
question as well. -
