BRYAN AT ST. LOUIE.
He Speaks to Large Crowd on Labor
Topics,

rae hpcAkA 70 y large NFuNu oh ASahot
Topic.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6.-The feature of
Labor Day celebration in this city to-
day was an address by the Hon. W, J..
Bryan at ConeordIa Park. The biggest
crowd ever seen in the park greeted the
speaker. His speech throughout was
enthusiastically applauded. Previous
to the meeting, Mr.. Bryan reviewed q
parade of 5000 laboring men.
Mr.. Bryan spoke In part as follows:
while / find pleasure In participating
in the exercises OF this day. / am also
actuated by sense OF duty, because the
observance of Labor Day affords me an
opportunity for the discussion of those
institutions which especially concern
the producers of wealth. In pamphlet
written by q distinguished New York
banker, i find the assertion that the
property of farmers and laborers de-
pends upon the prosperity Of the busi-
ness man. So long as one entertalns
such an idea he Is certain TO entertain
erroneous views upon social and politi-
cal questions. All of the literary, pro-
fessfonal and commercial classes will
find upon invetigation that they rest
upon those whose brain and muscle con-
vert the natural resources Of the coun-
try into material wealth. Not only
must any real prosperity begin with
those who toll, but the nations progress
toward higher civilization must be
measured by the progress made by the
producing classes. Under every form OF
government II has been possible TO point
to few persons possessed OF means
and refinement. but 1t is the average
progress, not the progress of the few
that must be considered. The improve
ment TO be hoped for must come from
efforts outside Of politics.
"The labor organization has been one
OF the most potent influences In improv-
ing the condition OF the wage earners.
Labor organizations are almost entire
ly responsible for the fact that skilled
labor wages have not fallen us much as
prices. although they have not always
succeeded In keeping employment up t6
full time.
While giving to these organizations
credit for what they have done, 1t Is
only fair TO suggest that neither labor
organizations nor any other form OF
protection can secure to labor perma-
nent immunity II the general level OF
prices continues TO fail. The Idle man
is the menace to the man who has en-
ployment and the number OF idle men
must necessarily increase II we have a
money system which constantly raises
the value OF the dollar and constantly
lowers the market value OF the pro-
ducts of labor. Arbitration of differ
ences between large corporate employ
ers and their employees is one of the
political reforms most needed by wage
earners. Until arbitration is secured the
strike il the only weapon within the
reach OF labor. Society at large Is in
terested In the application OF the prln-
ciple of arbitration to the differences
which arise from time to time between
corporations and the employees.

SHARON. Pa, Sept. 6.-Four hundred
coal miners, their wives and children,
marched from Grove City to Filler, Sut-
hiff & Co.'S mines at Chestnut Ridge,
headed by the knights OF the Golden
Eagle band, where they Induced the
Italians who had been imported, to Join
them. William Mckay was arrested by
one Of the deputies for tntimidating the
men at work, and when he was being
led away the women set upon the depu-
ty and dubbed him so badly that he had
to release the prisoner and flee for safe
ty. Two other miners were arrested
for trespassing on the company's pro-
perty and were fined rs cents. The
miners have succeeded In closing near
~ every mine in the county.

threatened to send them to Jail II they
refused. Since that almost everything
that corporation lawyer could think
of has been covered by these injunc-
tlons,
Recently judge in West Virginia is
sued an injunction forbidding the exer-
else OF free speech and actually forbid
ding men from marching on the high
way, no matter how peaceable they
might be. There are few noble men
on the federal bench who have refused
to prostitute their courts at the bidding
OF corrupt greed, but they viii in time
have to follow precedents set by others
II will be noticed that these injunc-
tions are simply whip with which to
lash the back OF labor. II is also appa-
rent that II they succeed they must ulti-
mately destroy the interests in whose
behalf they are now issued, and that
they are therefore short-slghted, For II
the laborers of this country are ever re-
duced to the helpless condition OF the
laborlng classes In some European
countries-a condition in which they
will have no purchasing power-then
the great American market must dis
appear, and our railroads and Industrial
properties viii not be worth fifty cents
on the dollar.
