sion Of the first national convention OF
employers and employees was opened this
evening at the Exposition building in this
city before an audience Of 1000 people.
This conference OF employers and employees,
economists and others interested In the
labor problem was arranged for by the
citizens of Minneapolis for the purpose Of
establishing better relations between en-
ployer and employe and was called to or
der by David P. Jones, acting mayor OF
this city.
A short address Of welcome was made
by Governor Van SAINT, after which the

The address Of the evening was made by
President Northrup, who spoke in part as
follows:
Capital and labor are both in demand.

both in no condition of distress. No doubt
capital has a right to combine and no
doubt also, labor has a right to combine
But might never yet made right and II

exclusively for himself and no aggregation
of men has any right to live exclusively
for themselves. Capital owes a duty tc
labor and labor owes duty to capital.

Suspected Causes.

'T cannot put my finger on the absolute
cause OF contention. suspect that the
watering OF stocks, the multiplication OF
the millions OF capital by arbitrary arith-
metic, without adding a dollar to the
value, has something to do with the
trouble, and that the unrest Of labor is In
a large degree occasioned by the necessity
Of earning a reasonable profit. not on ac-
tual capital, but on inflated and watered
capital.
Another cause OF unrest among labor
ers, as II seems to me, is this: The intro
duction of machinery, while IL has dimin-
ished the demand for labor, has in no way
tended to throw workmen out of employ
ment, as was at hrst feared, but has re-
suited in such a tremendous increase in
the amount OF production from a given
amount OF labor that the revenue derived
is immensely in excess Of what was for
merly derived from the application Of the
same amount Of labor.

watchword of the age is or should be broth
