here they must go "on their own"
and they have no unions to uphdld
them. In time the incompetent phy-
sicians fades out and the lawyer who
does not know his business has to In-
content with a small practice.
A contractor in an eastern city knew
that In former limes he could make a
sewer connection in one day with two
men who wore pa.d $2 each for their
work. He is still making sewer con-
nections in the course of his business
but the men require two days for the
same work and they are paid $5 a
day each. Instead of the cost being
$4 as formerly its is now $20 and the
work is precisely the same.
The labor un ons are making a mis-
take by not ridding themselves of the
incompetents. They cannot afford to i
carry them, for the eyes of the world
are now turned on the labor unions. -
They are under the closest scrutiny.
They should realize that they cannot
hold on equality the man who is In-
competent and the competent man
who can do twice as much work and
do it well.
Employers as a rule are willing to
pay fair wages, but there are many
who object to carrying the incompe-
tents. They ifiject to having tho
standard of production, lowered to
meet the requirements of the poorest
and most incompetent men in the
