ZURICH FMER'S
WIFE ,t1IKES
Mrs. Wm. Schag Writes In-
teresting Letter to Can-
adian Countryman.
International
Plowing Match
"It seems that all we hefty about
these days is.Strikes! Strikes! and
more Strikes! "More pay for less
work!" I often wonder what all
these strikers think (i doubt if they
think much, or deeply) when they
vote to strike for their demands. Do
they honestly believe their action
justified? Do they really -think they
are getting less than their share of
the income of the nation as a whole?
Do they foresee the result of their
demands, if met, upon the economic
life of the country? Or are they de-
termined to get all they can at the
present moment, regardless?
-"Apparently the only large group in,
the country not in a striking mood is
the farm population. The farmer
seems to be satisfied. He is enjoying
a position of economic parity - a
position in which his returns for a
12 -hour day (plus the hours contri-
buted by his wife and children) are
equal to the returns of the industrial
laborer for his 8 -hour day.
"Let us assume that all these
groups have a moral right to "a 30
per cent wage increase and a 40 -hour
week." Do they not concede to all
the non -striking grotri the same
right? Let us be fair said square and
increase the income of every person
in the country_ by 30 per cent and cut
their working hours to 40 per week.
Are we any better off? Even a
moron could see that we would be
in a worse position. Our export trade
would suffer if all prices were in-
creased by 30 per cent. The non -
farming population woiald most cer-
tainly he half-starVed if the farmer
worked 40 hours per week instead of
the 100 hours which he (and his
family) spend on the farm work at
present.
"If industry were able, by more
efficient management -up-to-date ma-
chitiery-increased output, etc., to
offer a pay increase, it would be
much better and fairer to reduce 'the
price of all manufactured articles,
benefitting the consumer. That
would be helping every man, woman
and child in the country. If a pro-
duct is lowered in price, the demand
for it is increased, exports are in-
creased, and the entire' industry stim-
ulated.
