Easy Economics.
Why do tho bosses pay the workers wages at all? Because the worker works. No; not exactly. Becausa it is a just debt ? Not exactly. Because the worker has a family to support ? Not exactly. Because the law compels him ? Not exactly; not always. Well, then, why does the boss pay wages ? Well, the boss pays wages this week because the worker has worked and made the boss a profit. Therefore the bovss wants him to work next week and make, more profits next week. As a matter of fact, it would be still more profitable to hang the worker or not pay him at all; but in that case no more workers would work at all, and no profits would be forthcoming. So, for tho sake of profit, the boss pays. •— "Solidarity."
