array on our borders of fhe afniies
of the entire world combined
II Mr.. Thompson declared that he made
this statement after years iof close
study, embracing the principal Indus
trial centres both of the North sdlad
the South: In support Of his statA
ment he said that ION every hand
and for the slightest .provocation, all
classes Of organized labor stand ready
! to inaugurate strike, with all its at
tendant evils
He maintained that organizations
teaching such theories should be helt
as reasonable in their character, ant
their leaders worse than traitors tt
their country"
Mr.. Thompson said that many Labor
leaders are open and avowed Social
lists; that their organizations are weak
ening the ties Of citizenship among
thousands of our people in that the5
have no other standard Of communlt!
obligations than what these organiza
tioR inculcate; that they are bringing
reproach upon the judicial tribunals
of our country by public abuse of these
tribunals and often open defiance oi
their judgments and DEGREES. thus
seeking to break down the only safe
guards of q free people"
The remedy for these evils lies. he
said, principally, in a. correct public
sentiment touching the relations that
should exist between labor and cap
ital. A uniform law tn ht would take
the individual workman out from un
der any ban of reproach. such at
*'scab" or "black list.p he thought
would aid in re-establishing correct re
lations between labor and capital.
"a further law" he added. "shoulc
be enacted that would make it justt
fable homicide for any killing that oc
cured in defense of any lawful occu
patton"
In view of the close relationship
existing among all classes Of oar clti'
zens and the interdependence of al
interests, strikes and boycotts, he
thought, should be made felony bttf
by national and State legislation.

by G. w. Morse, president OF the Ice
company, who took his cash and notes
and obtained for him 100000 from
the Garfield National Bank. AS. to
his purchase Of the stock, the Mayor
stated that he made 1t because he
7 deemed It O good paying investment.

mated stock he had made.
