To M.--, i1 Oakland:
"DEAR S1R:-The Employers RsSOoia-
tion Of California is engaged in the diff
cult task Of fighting the labor oEganizs-
tions Of this state.
"Our aim is to eXterminRtO these
organizations, root and branch, and We
feel sure that, owing to the fact that our
association has declared war against
unions, separately and collectively, it
will have wholly destroyed their inAu-
ence and power to maintain the exoeS-
sive standard Of wages that are paid on
the Pacific coast. We believe that wages
Of mechanics, clerks or common labOrerS
are at least so per cent. higher than they
should be.
"That the endeavorS Of this assOciR-
tion have, on the whole, been successful
will appear by simply referring to the
unions that formerly composed the fed
Grated trades. Out Of all Of them, only
the Typographical, Brewers and Sailors
unicns are still on their feet, and even
their power for evil has been greatly re-
duced. AS to the Sailors union, we
have to such an extent driven them to
the wall, with the aid Of the political
authorities, that the former wages Of $4O
per month have come down to $25.
"Our object in addressing you now is
to draw your attention upon the great in
terest we all have at stake in the mu-
nicipal elections Of the 18th Of this
month. It is Of the greatest Importance
to our association that j. L. DRvie be
beaten under all circumstances.

tion whose delegates consist mostly ol
members of labor organizations, and il
unfortunately he should be elected, they
would feel greatly encouraged and fol.

although the people Of this class are
undoubtedly in the majority, there is nc
fear Of danger from them so long as they
do not resort to independent political
action.

HOW to Learn a Language.

The new way and the true way to
learn language is undoubtedly that
devised by NJ. Gouin, a Frenchman.
Briefly, it is by sound, just as a child
learns its mother tongue. No printed
words, books, or writing are allowed.
A sound or word is repeated over and
again in the pupils hearing till he
masters it and can recognize and
speak 1t himself at any time Ges-
lures representing actions are made,
and the names and description of the
act given in conversation, very sim
pie at first, then more complicated.
Each sound, each word describing
the action, is imprinted lastingly on
the pupils memory by the sound;
always by the sound. The moment
he hears 1t be knows what it means
and can make it. After he has mss
tered all the language necessary to
enable him to use the common speech
of a country he is allowed to learn to
read it, The claim of NJ. GOuin that
by this sound method a language can
be learned so as to be spoken with
ease in six months has been fully
sustained by experiment.
