1 to say shortly before his death: j
‘I am wondering what would j
have happened to me by now if;
' 50 years ago some fluent talker i
had convinced me to the theory
that it was not fair to mv fellow
workers to put my best efforts
[into my work. I am glad that I
the eight-hour day had not been!
1 invented when 1 was a young j
i man. If my life had been made
j up of eijht-hour days, I do not
1 believe I could have accomplish-
! ed a great deal. This country
| would not amount to as much j
j as it does if young men 50 years
! age had been afraid that they
| might earn more than they were
technological advances
made in industry through mven-
as the all- tK’n first of machines and then
of Povcrn- better i:‘ncJ better machines,

, tnat trie to produce mole while toiling

t mint roller ‘'reaving real wages. Machines
_ have taken away much of the
wernment back-breaking effort and thus
e projects have made the lot of the work-!
back and tr and more pleasant.
Most of u.s are agreed that this i
lis'' ruT *s as ** should be and most of j
Mr. Aar- us hope that further inventions!
