TIE PEACE CONFERENCE" which

met Ia New York this week has au'
ourped. 1t was held under the aus
pices OF the National Civic Federation
and was called for the purpose OF bring
ing the prominent representatives OF
labor and capital face to face, 30 TO
speak, and bsrmoDize, If possible
divergent interests. Nothing has hap
pened 10 the past that gives much, II
anv encouragement to base the hope
that capital aud labor will la the near
future reconcile all differences. How
ever. it is not 10 pessimistic spirit that
the efforts of the participants OF this
peace conference aud the addresses
made should be considered, yet, with
MIR. G. M. sshwab. president OF the
steel trust, drawing his one million dol
lar salary, and Mr.. John Mitchell,
president Of the united mine workers,
perhaps enjoying salary of two thou
sand dollars per annum, "strongly ad-
voeatiDg peace" one wonders how oil
this is to be brought about, and after
all, the question will be asked, as
Il was centuries ago. why 90
you cry peace, peace when there Is
no peaceP" Some sensible things may
have been done, and some remarks
pertinent to the occasion made. Sena
tor Hanna who was delegate to the
conference is quoted as follows;
would rather have the credit OF making
successful the movement to bTlng laoor sn1
capital into close relation OF confidence Ano
reliance than to be President OF the united
States. II by IesiRDing my seat IN the United
States Senate sould bring to fruition the
nlans sbat we are now fostering to make
strikes, loekouts and great labor disputes I'M
possible, | would glacly do 90. l think Il IS
ihe Rrandest thing that could be accomplished
In this country. / would want no greater
monument than to have the world remember
that l did something to end wars between
American capital and labor.
Whatever may be mans politics,
be he rich or poor, or one who in days
of political turmoil and strife made Mr..
Hanna one oftbe targets OF his criticism
and witicism yet, he will be slow 10
questioning Mr.. Hanna's sincerity.
Mr.. Hanna ia not a poor man; he is 9
rich man, and as manufactures has
seen, and been thrown much among
the laboriDg men. Few are now LOOK
ing for the millennium but II anything
Is possible Ia bringing about better
understanding between labor and capt.
tai, through this "pesce conference"
aud the committees appointed to bring
1t about, then like Mr.. Hanna would
any reasonable man cheerfully give up
his life's work and make any other
sacrifice 10 order to be the agent by
which capital and labor could say "all
the clouds that lowered upon our
house In the deep bosom OF the ocean
buried" Hope springs eternal In the
human breast, and it is to be hoped
that the "pesoe conference" will, like
the Bible, some day describe the lion
and the lamb lying down together.
