DEVONSHIRE RAPS BALFOUR.
Says Premier Has Abandoned the Party
Leaderahip TO Cha mberlain.

Special Gable Despatch to TIE SrN.
LONDON, Nov. 24.-The Duke Of Devon
shire made his first public appearance
tonight as Presiden) Of the Free Food
League, which he joined after he resigned
as president of the Council because he
disagreed with Prime Minister Balfour on
the protection question. The Duke spoke
at a great meeting of anti-protectionists
Among his supporters on the platform
were Viscount Goschen. the Marquis OF
Hamilton, Mr. Charles Richie, formerly
Chancellor of the Exchequer; Sir John
Gorst, Sir Michael Hicks-Bea0l,, also an
ex-Chancellor Of the E1chequer. and sew
eral Unionis Members Of Parliament.
The Duke declared his determination to
oppose Mr.. Chamberlain's fiscal proposals
with all his might. He complained Of the
obscurity Of Mr.. Balfour's policy. He
admitted that within certain limits great
deal could be said in favor Of retaliation,
but he trusted that no Government would
enter upon such policy with it's eyes shut
or under the delusion that retaliation was
good thing in itself.
But it was not the Governments policy
that was before the country. The driver
of the party locomotive had abandoned
the machine to another, who was running
it full speed down hill against all signals.
He recognized the great and worthy mo-
tives which prompted Mr.. Chamberlain,
but he was compelled to oppose his scheme.
Food taxation was the keystone Of the
whole. and the lessons OF the past and the
dictates Of common sense were alike against
it.
The meeting adopted resolution de-
clarins willingness to consider in friendly
manner any Government measure to miti-
gate the effects Of hostile tariffs in special
cases. but strenuously opposing the proteo-
tive taxation Of food and the establishment
of any general preferential protective
system.

ginning of the vice crusade. At Eldridge

ADVICE TO LABOR EMPLOYERS
HOW TO AVOID TROUBLE, BY TWO
COINSELLORS AND 4 VICTIM.
Educate Your Work men, says Alfred Mose'y
and COnfer--(onf Says Marcus

ney-Taik to Metal Trades Asst tiatiGn.


Alfred Mosely of England and Marcus
Marks of the National Civic Federation
were The guests of the Metal Trades Asso-
ciat ion at it's annual dinner last night az
the Vendome. Both of them chided the
members of the association for their rule
as employers not to confer with employees
who are on strike. Mr. Mosely said in part i
| believe in trade unionism. but ii doesi
follow that | believe in everything 1t tries
to do. As President Roosevelt has said. 1t
must be Judged by conduct and not by
theories concerning it. The right of labor
TO organize cannot be denied. but the desire
of union labor to close the shops to all other
labor is most unreasonable. and if ] was an
employer in this country would fight to the

Wallace Downey said that no employer,
no matter how strong he may be- can hope
to stand alone in these days and fight his
battles with organized labor without the
support of other employers MIR. Downey
said
He may get along for a time by hrihng
walking delegates. but il won last one OF
the principal causes OF the difficulty Is the
cowardice and avarice OF the employer who.
fearful of the loss OF business. yields to the
exorbitant demands of the union
] believe with Mr.. Morley and Mr. Marks
that there should be patience and tolerance
and talking things over. but when principle
is involved and the rights of the employer
as an American citizen are at stake there
should be no compromise to avoid trouble.
ii. c. Hunter. counsel for the association
stated in his report that an employment
bureau is to be established where menu
bers of the association may find worklnen
without the Interference of walking dele
gates. He said also that beginning with
next mont h there will be monthly meetings
of representatives of all the employers
