I began to see that political effort was largely valuable as it found expression and resulted in such social and industrial betterment.

I was gradually puzzling out, or trying to puzzle out, the answers to various questions--some as yet unsolvable to any of us, but for the solution of which it is the bounden duty of all of us to work.

I had grown to realize very keenly that the duty of the Government to protect women and children must be extended to include the protection of all the crushable elements of labor.

I saw that it was the affair of all our people to see that justice obtained between the big corporation and its employees, and between the big corporation and its smaller rivals, as well as its customers and the general public.

I saw that it was the affair of all of us, and not only of the employer, if dividends went up and wages went down; that it was to the interest of all of us that a full share of the benefit of improved machinery should go to the workman who used the machinery; and also that it was to the interest of all of us that each man, whether brain worker or hand worker, should do the best work of which he was capable, and that there should be some correspondence between the value of the work and the value of the reward.
