STRIKES and their attendant disorders are largely engaging public attention, and it must be apparent that the relations of employer and employee need readjustment upon a satisfactory and permanent basis.
In theory neither employer nor employee desires to wrong the other. The one wishes to give a fair day's wages for a fair day's work, and to receive a reasonable profit on his investment. The other wishes to give full value in labor for every dollar of wages, and concedes the right to a reasonable profit in the successful conduct of any business enterprise. Neither desires to impose on the other unmanly and degrading conditions, nor do they wish to act in defiance of the right and well-being of the general public.
Unfortunately, in practice these conditions do not generally prevail.
