in the interests of his organization which
he says doubled during the year. He was
required to go to Europe twice i'm the line
of duty during the year and has met the
labor leaders of the world Talking to-
day of ID. NJ. Parrys labor attitude, he
said:
'Parry's movement is gaining much fast

1t will overwhelm us. What is Parry do
ing? He is organizing the unorganized.
The organized workingmen are as drop In
the bucket 10 the unorganized and by the
time Parry gets through he is likely to
have the long end of it. He has the press
with him for one thing and every one
knows what that means, and he has the
manufacturers and the EMPLOYERS with him
TOO. Gompers talks about going into In
dianapohs and organizing the Parry shops
He can't do IL because Parry's working
men do not want To be organized There
is only one way for the unions To act They
must organize perfectly and they must
learn to respect all classes and To arbitrate

i'm this country. Canada, Mexico and Eu-

A strike should be the last resort when
all other means have failed. The trouble
with the unions Is that there Is too much
jealousy among the members and too little
regard for the rights of others They co
too far in their demands at times and then
become too stiffnecked about meeting the
other fellow half way. But they will have
TO do il or eventually get the worst of IN .

the cotton growing industry by the specu-
lative movement in cotton. THE specula-
tors have cornered the market" said the
secretary, land put up the price so high
that manufacturers cannot use raw cotton.
At existing prices there is no profit to
them. The price of manufactured goods
cannot be manipulated as the price of raw
cotton can.

able to sell his cotton to the gamblers
Mills we're closed because there was no raw
material LETT, and in some instances cotton
which was sold to European manufacture
ers. has been brought back TO this country
and used in the gambling operations.
Secretary Wilson said that most Euro
pean nations, which manufactured cotton
and also owned lands in outlying provinces
where cotton might be grown. were anxious
to become independent of our spectators.
and were organizing and holding out IN
ducements for the development OF the cot
French, the Germans. the Belgians and
others owned lands In Africa, and they
had been for some time organizing to pro-
duce cotton.
