Again, business does this for no humanitarian reasons; it takes this attitude because its employees produce better where there is harmony at home. The capable, intelligent, and progressive worker is almost invariably married to a capable, intelligent, and progressive woman. Each acts and reacts upon the other.

Nine tenths of our industrial troubles are due to the fact that employers and employees alike fail to recognize their real enemies and so fight their friends as often as they fight their foes. "The people must learn to call an industrial slacker a slacker, whether he loafs on a park bench or loafs on the veranda of the country club house.

People of San Diego, long live the King! Long live Spain! Long live the friars! Long live the Catholic Religion!" Many voices were raised in answer, adding, "Long live the Señor Alcalde!"

Special constables, as in the case of our own firm, were being sworn in all over the town, and the larger firms were putting pressure upon their employees to be enrolled. Indeed, some 500 dock labourers were discharged because they would not be sworn in.

The immediate surroundings form a well-arranged and fragrant flower garden, ornamented with fountains and statuary, with fruit trees, where the employees are all welcome, and the sweet fragrance of which they can enjoy even during the working hours.
