...board. Each man has a certain thing to do, a certain part of the board to adjust. If he does the work of anyone else he has committed an unpardonable blunder. And, above all, no deviation from the orders given by Mr. Belliveau is tolerated, no matter how obviously wrong they may be. It is only by strict observance of these rules, experience has shown, that the progress and accuracy of the game can be shown on the board.

But instead of concentrating its forces on this one great fight, we see capital make still more remote any possibility of amicable compromise by quibbling over the rights of recognition and unionization, neither of which are intrinsically wrong or of relatively great importance. Mr. Gary refuses to treat on questions of labor conditions in his factories with anyone not directly concerned with them. He says he will talk with his own laborers but with no one else. But the laborers but with no one else. But the laboring...
