time—not in jail—but in an Iron Foundry.Icarried iron at both ends of the bull ladle,first at the front end as alaborer,then at the rear end as a moulder.I know what it is tobreak pig iron over a“V”block,to lug flasks in and out of thefoundry,to help on thejib crane,to give moulders a lift,to help pouroff and a few other odds and ends that a laborer is expected to do ina foundry.I know what itis to work in a damp sand heap on a frostywinter morning,when you have to dance a Highland Fling to keepwarm.I have gone home at night looking like a coal miner after hisday's work,and in clothes soaking wet after pouring off a floor inthe intense heat.I have had my share of foundry burns.I knowwhat it is to get paid for what I made—if it was good—otherwise\"nix.\"I know what it is to stand in line and have handed to me mypay envelope.  \nYes,I know what hard work is,for foundry work is not onesweet song—is it,you“Sand Butchers”who may be reading this?  \nHaving been a part of that great democracy of labor;havingrubbed elbows with the two-fisted,red-blooded,hard headed type ofmen,who by the sweat of their brows earn their\"so much per,\"Ifeel I need to offer no apologies in thus addressing you who are thetoilers of the land.  \nTo be sure,I am now in the councils of managements,but letme tell you one thing—I wouldn't take anything on earth for myexperience on both sides of the fence,for working with each side hasenabled me to see the side of the other all the more clearly.  \nWould that every employer of labor could bea uorker and everyucorker anemployer of labor—there wouldn't be any more industrialelash.We wouldn't have a labor problem.  \nYou say—“all right,you of the sand heap,tell us your story.You will at least have our ears,and our hearts if you put it over.”  \nWell then,Mr.Worker,where do we go from here?The dollarwe spend today buys less than it did a year ago and very much lessthan five years ago.How about next year?Five years from now?What will a dollar buy then?  \nWhy is it that with all our wonderful improvements in shoppractice,in labor saving machinery,in modern methods,in up-to-date management practice,that our common enemy—cost of living—goes up and up with the sky the limit,and with something or some-body trying to remove the sky?  \nThe aeroplane isn't the only thing that goes 20,000 feet in the air,is it?What is the answer?How are we to bring the cost of livingdown off its high horse,and place it where we can all keep fromgetting a nervous chill,every time we note from reports that the  \n100  \n所180ouuL  \ndollar has shrunk to still smaller proportions?In time,if thingsdo not change for the better,the dollar will look as if an elephanthad stepped on it.Then what are we,our children,and their children going to do?  \nLet us get down to“brass tacks.”Hours cannot be decreasedand wages increased and result in lower cost of living.It can't bedone so long as the law that 2 plus 2 equals 4,is our guide,andmathematical law is a thing which will never be changed.  \nLabor has felt that it must get as much as it can and give aslittle as possible,so as to make more jobs for more people.I felt thesame way once,having been a worker,you know.I was wrong,andyou ","cbCaifGPAcuSSAdY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifGPAcuSSAdY","pdf",558356,"English","# RESTRICTIONS ON USE\n## TECHNICAL MICROFORM
