So long.aa employers resort to the

bt no .confidence:,. between employers

lor the laborer and: at the same /.time

kind of'hypocracy, which will.* breed
nothing better than crops, of disean-"

,An eavesdropper or a spy  is     only

it a business and does it for pay.
Many corporations employing large,

system and put it; in practice among,
