on his weakling brother-workman to his det- 

 riment; that all wages must be alike for 

 the willing, strong, healthy and tem- 

 perate workman as for the weak, drunken 

 and dissipated workman. This is tan- 

 tamount to putting a premium on drunk- 

 enness and physical infirmities. That 

 the weakling workman's hours, that he 

 is able to stand up and work, shall be 

 the limit of the number of hours that 

 his stronger brother-in-labor shall be 

 allowed to work ; and the amount of work 

 the weakling- is able to perform, shall be 

 the limit of work the strong, healthy, robust 

 and temperate workman shall be allowed 

 to work. That is to say, it shall be no bene- 

 fit to a man to have the physique, the health 

 and the inclination to work and to raise 

 himself above his fellow- workmen, but that 

 this good man shall be kept down to the 

 level of his degenerate, weakling co-worker. 

 The labor unions have declared that no man 

 shall be paid on the scale of value his 

 labors or his ability to accomplish import- 

 ant matters should entitle him to receive, 

 as it would reflect and expose to the world
