and steel products average a small frac-

because private concessions which are
now refused were by various authorities
complacently concealed two weeks ago.

There is encouraging increase in the

BELIEVES IN LABOR UNIONS.
Presidents Declaration Made to Of
ficers of Federation.

Presidents Declaration Made to Of
fcers of Federation.
Washington, June 25.-''I regard the
organization of labor as the natural
and legitimate effort to secure it's
rights said President Mckinley. This
strong declaration in favor of organized
labor was made in the course of a con-
versation at the white house Wednes-
day with Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor, and
Frank Morrison, secretary of the or
ganization. For an hour labor's in
terests and labor legislation were dis
cussed in all their varied phases. The
anti-pooling bill to restrain the opera
ton of pools and trusts caused the la
Dor people some anxiety. President
Gompers explained that the labor
unions were afraid that they themselves
would be classed as trusts and the pen
alties of the act applied to them rather
than to the large combinations usually
known as trusts. He thought an amend
ment should be made specifically ex-
empting labor unions.
President Mckinley agreed that the
labor unions should be protected and
spoke of measures in which he had
taken an interest in former years. He
did not, however, seem to think there
was much danger of their being classed
as trusts or subjected to penalties.
UNLESS you believe as some people
do" said Mr.. Gompers, shat labor
unions are an evil, | think you will
agree with me that their existence
should not be endangered by this bill"
81 do not desire to be classed with
those who consider trade unions an
evil" replied the president, and he fin
ished the sentence with the words
quoted at the beginning of this dis
patch.
