its rights strikes are sometimes necessary.

JONATHAN EDWARDS SPEAKS.
The Rev. Jonathan Edwards was next
presented as the SPEAKER for the Knights
Of Labor.
Mr.. Edwards is a very pleasant and con-
servative speaker, who deals in apt illus.
trations and intersperses bis remarks with
frequent quotations from the sayings and
writings of the best labor leaders and hu.
manitarians of the age. His speech was
devoted to the proposition that labor was
able to protect itself, as had been illus.
trated in many countries of Europe and
| America. The great need, he said,
throughout the world, Is sympathy be-
tween class and class.
| One essential element OF success for
labor movements Is thrift and activity.
Another is economy. He pronounced
most of our American laborers as inclined
to extravaganza, especially In the direc-
tion of conviviality. He declared ITEM
perance a necessity to labor.
Another element of success, Is not a col
lege but practical education. He re-
ferred to the success of the labor schools
and colleges in England, and urged the
necessity Of industrial education in our
public school system.
He then touched On the relation of labor
to politics, and declared that while labor
organizations should not be political clubs,
yet t..y should scrutinize political orRani-
cations carefully, and should have repre-
sentatives in all legislative bodies. This
is the case new in the British parliament
to some extent, and had proven beneficial,
and should be the case everywhere and
especially in this country.
He closed by warmly commencing the
purposes for which the meeting was called
and warmly eulogizlng cooperative insti.
tutions.

speak on this occasion for the typographi-

MIR. Winston spoke about a half an
hour, and said in substance: That he felt
honored to represent body of intelligent
men who had united for the purpose of ele-
waiting labor and securing it the just re-
gard of oil people and of protecting it's in
terests in legitimate and conservative
manner. He said that the day had zone
by when other professions were re-
garded with greater consideration than
is given to the man who tolls by the hour
for wages, and that this result had been
brought about not by labor pulling down
Others, but by labor elevating itself
through intelligent cooperation. He pre-
dicted that as result Of labor co., pera-
tion such thing as strike in this coun-

get the consent Of his mind
to carry his children back to q
place where distinctions in social and po-

certain OF the absolute equality Of man; /;
here he was certain that his ofspring,

He closed with tribute to labor as the
best part of life, declaring that If man had
not been compelled to work q Morse
would never have converted electricity into
intelligence, nor an Edison illuminated q
world. All the discoveries Of this or any
age, are due to labor, and the happy man
is the man who forgets himself and hii
truobles in his love for his daily toll and
who finds himself at night IN o condition
to sleep the sleep of the blest, and Il
awake refreshed and eager for another
days work.
