Labor, in addressing 1900 persons who had
gathered to attend mass meeting at Mad
ison-square Garden tonight in behalf OF
the striking coal miners, announced that

In brief address Mr.. Gompers said:
LET me say TO you that the striking
miners are putting up fight which the
American people should respect. And let
me add that believe that as time goes on
we will come TO admire the fight of the
miners IN the anthracite region of Penn
sylvania. The miners can win, but we
must make IL possible for them 10 win. In
order to do so they must have bread. and
il Is the duty OF organized labor 10 see
that they are not defeated for lack OF that.
If they were forced TO yield II would mean
a serious calamity TO organized labor in
every part Of the country. In this fight

But the code of manners has altered considerably since the period

presents is quite a COMMON occurrence.
Otherwise how would you account for the frequency with which
you see presentation volumes in the catalogues of secondhand book
sellers? This, too when the donors and the donees are still living, and
the latter, to all appearance, in fourishing circumstances. If the
latter have no feeling on the matter you would think they might at
least have the decency to remove the presentation inscription.
But why should they?
They are well aware that the aforesaid inscription adds to the
value OF the book, and to make an extra two or three shilGngs out
of your friends, when you can, is quite in harmony with the manners
of to-day.
This kind Of thing is, however, not entirely confined to books
