PLEA FOR PEACE.

Beglns Its Annual Session.

mr. GOmpers Sees Trouble Ahead I'm
less Trade Unionists Cease Quarrel
ing-American Federation of Labor
BegIns Its Annual Session.
New Orleans, Nov. 14.-President
Gompers, at the opening of the Amer
lean Federation of LABOR convention
Thursday delivered an impassioned
warning to the members of the or
ganization that the immediate future
of trade and labor assemblies was SER
iously endangered by the conflicting
claims of jurisdiction, made by diff
ferent bodies. Unless such things
were approached in calmness and
handled with moderation, he declared,
the labor organizations of the coun-
try would soon be involved in a con-
flict which would dwarf all the strug-
giles in which labor organizations
have been engaged.
The matter, unless changed, he as
serted, would come to a point where
laboring men would fight with labor
ing men from behind barricades, the
manner which men deal with their
mortal foes. His warning of danger
and his counsels of peace and moder-
alton met with a hearty response
from the assembled delegates, and
wild applause greeted the speaker aG
he closed that portion of his annual
address in which he had pointed out
the perils which, in his opinion, Will
surely come unless methods are al
tered.
The report of National Secretary
Frank Morrison covered the II
months ended with September 30 last.
The federation's aggregate income
for this time was $144,49S and the eX-
penditures S119,0s6. OF the receipts
$20,423 consisted of contributions to
the defense fund. Mr.. Morrison also
stated that for the II months 1924
unions were chartered, larger num-
ber than for any entire year. These
additions increased the total number
of unions to 1868. The average mem
bership is shown by the per capita
tax to be 1,025,300, a gain of fourfold
in the past six years. Mr.. Morrison
says that the increase of the defense
fund tax has resulted beneficially and
he advocates still further increase
of the per capita tax.
Reports from local unions show
that there were 1858 strikes in which
412,S71 persons were involved. Out
of that number 352,967 were benefited
and 14.016 were not. The total cost
of the strikes was So, 729,6 Goa. In the
federation there were 217 strikes, of
which 131 were won, As compromised
and 81 lost. Ten were still pending
,,,ha
number of persons involved in the
strikes was 34,3S0; number benefited
20,654; number worsted 2.635. The cost
of the strikes in the way of money ex-
pended by the unions was S90,053.
Two hundred and siXty-four trade and
federal unions reported gains in
wages, one union reporting a gain of
one dollar per day and all the others
less. One hundred and fifty unions
report a reduction of hours.

THE STANDARD RAISED.
pcnnsyIvania's Supreme Court Makes
New Rules to Govern Admissions to
the Rnr.

Philadelphia. Nov. 13.-The supreme
court of Pennsylvania has promul-
gated new rules to govern admissions
to the bar, completely revolutionizing
the system in force for more than a
century. A state board of law exam
iners composed of five members is
established. Admissions on law
'chool diplomas are abolished. Reg
'tration is required at the COM
lencement of the course of three
years study, but a preliminary exam
inatiOn must first be passed in Eng
lish literature, universal history, his
tory of England and the United
States, arithmetic, algebra, geometry,
geography and Latin, Caesar, Virgil
and Cicero. The three years oI prep
aration after registration must be
passed either in an approved law
school or by the service of bona
fide clerkship in a law Office.
This action of the court was taken
as the result of a memorial present.
ed on behalf of the Pennsylvania Bar
association by committee represents
ing various sections of the state, and
Is the elimination of an aggressive
fight waged for eight years oy the
best element to raise the standard
for admission to the legal profess
sion.

The issuance of Accident Bulletins"
E.to,p.,,uo., sion in Washing
ton is a notable
Neeiueh's' step, not only in
railroading, but in the history of gov
ernment supervision. So vast is the
network of railway tracks in this coun-
try, and so great is the volume of busi-
ness, that the accidents, although per-
haps not large in proportion, are nu-
merous in the aggregate. In 1901 more
than 5000 persons, passengers and EN-
ployes, were killed on the railway, and
$4,000 were injured. The number ex-
ceeds the casualties in a battle of the
first magnitude. Yet this was after a
law requiring automatic couplers had
considerably decreased the accidents
ling of freight cars. Experience is the
greatest teacher, but, as the Youths
Companion observes, her school is an
expensive one. From the experience
of the railways, carefully collated
and analyzed in these bulletins,
it will doubtless be possible to
do much to lessen this volume
of misfortune. Almost numberless are
the causes of accident. Some admit Of
ready remedy, but the danger from
others can be guarded against but
slightly if at all. In certain cases the
remedy may be found in new laws; in
others it may be a question of mechan-
les; in too many cases human careless
ness is the cause, not always the care
lessness of railway servants, for man
ayers and passengers are frequently
blamable. Whatever the cause may be,
the chance of accident is diminished
by the gradual improvement Of rail-
ways themselves. The road-beds are
made more solid, grade crossings are
abolished, the tracks are protected
from trespassers, the machinery of To-
comotives is made stronger, and in
every way possible the chance of acci.
dent by thoughtlessness of anyone en-
gagged in the operation or the use of
the railway is lessened. The accident
bulletins ought to grow smaller and
less interesting year by year.

President Roosevelt. in his Thanks

tion that for 1925 years the American
people "have had on the whole more
to be thankful for than has fallen to
the lot of any other people" says the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Each generation, he admits, has had
to bear its peculiar burdens and to
face its special crises, but decade by
decade the people have struggled on
ward and upward" until now in a
year of peace and overfowing plenty
1--WE are striving earnestly to achieve
moral and spiritual uplifting"
The president asks the American
people to render thanks for the great
prosperity they are now enjoying.
This viii, Of course. excite the wrath
of Mr. Bryan, Mr.. Stevenson, Mr. Hill
and other democratic leaders who con-
tend that We are not enjoying any
great degree of perity, and that
business men, manufacturers, and
farmers, employers and employees, are
permitting themselves 10 he deceived
when they are led 20 believe that there
Is any perity in the land.
The democratic leaders would have
the people believe that the country is
in q very bad way, indeed, and that
there Is nothing to be thankful for.
