GENESIS OF THE SENATOR
Says With All His wiles He Can

mas rushing to the rescue of organised labor Is when you come to think of 1t. a somewhat astonishing spectacle" said D. M.. Parry today, when asked for his opinion as to the attack made upon his labor position by Senator Hanna at the banquet of the Amalgamated Association of Steel Workers at Columbus.
 If every one has enjoyed the speech of the Senator as much as have" con- tinued Mir. Parry. it certainly cannot be claimed that he has not done his share In contributing to the era of general good feeling. Of course I have no personal feeling whatever against Mir. Hanna, and I am glad to note that he has none against me. although must confess that it is with some surprise that I read his declaration that display ignorance in my report.
 Copying From Tom Johnson.
 But then a good deal can be forgiven a man who Is in the midst of trying campaign. especially when he has recently been defeated by a candidate like Tom Johnson. Now, if 1t had been the latter who had taken up the cudgels for labor, there would not have been nearly as much humor In the situation. Can 1t be that MT. Hanna is beginning. at this late day,
  of Cleveland. the man whom he has so long tried to tefeat. Let's see.
 ''In the campaign of 1896 the very men that Mir. Hanna now extols as the able leaders of organised labor issued a circu- lar demanding in. the name of "All the wealth producers of the country the re- monetixation of silver and because he as Chairman of the National Republican Committee did all he could in support of the gold standard he was lampooned and abused worse perhaps than any man be- fore or stnee by these very men whose friendship he now 90 assiduouEiy seeixs.
 s'The genesis of Mr. Hanna from an en- .erxatic business man. Nith . iaher. record not particularly distinguished for leni- ency Into political leader and finally a United States Senator. who is the Isad- ilng spirit if not the founder of the Civic FederatIon, is a remarkable instance of what the political bee will make man do when 1t gets to buxzing in his bonnet.
 The Buxzing and Its Effects.
 ''who knows where the metamorphosis of Mr. Hanna will end? Is 1t possible that he has become a convert to all the leading tenets of trades unionism7 It ap- pears that he actually joined the Amal- gamated Union or whatever 1t was which he addressed. and his speech would cer- tainly pass as an excellent one to mark an initiation into the order. As good union man. he may yet think 1t incumb- ent upon him to look with an indulgent eye upon Bryanism, and am almost in- clined to believe 1t an opportune time to make the suggestion that he be made the next running mate for MT. Bryan. Bryan and Hanna-how is that for a ticket7..
 "Of course am aware that all this is not argument. but then there was very little argument in Mir. Hanna's speech. He takes up a paper which has met the endorsement of 9s per cent of the manu- lecturers of the country as being a fair exposition of the socialistic tendency and what Carroll D. Wright calls the dam nable practices of trades unionism.' and makes what think the country will hold as a poor attempt to answer 1t. He reads a section from this paper. and then denies it is true, and turns around after sneering at the writer and says in the manner of the ordinary stump speaker, boys, isn't that so?' Of course the boys send up an uproarious shout of approval
 Then he patted this man on the back and then that one. called MT. Shaffer Brother and otherwise conducted himself as the presiding genius cf a veritable love feast. This method of disposing of one of the most serious questions of the day probably takes with the kind of men that he was addressing, but I cannot help feeling that the rest of the country would have been better satisfied with a more dignifed treatment of the labor problem.
 Like Pettifogging Lawyer.
 After the manner of a pettifogging lawyer he picked out a couple of para graphs of my report, held them up to ridicule and then passed on to his own ideas as to joint agreement and the legal responsibilities of labor unions. evading all the main points brought out In my address. If there is anything more In MT. Hanna's speech fall to find it.
 What has Mir. Hanna to say about fixing the wages by artificial methodist There is the root of the whole matter. If 1t is right that one class of workn1en should have their wages fixed arbitrarily then 1t Is only just that the wages cf all classes should be fixed in the same man. ner I have heard 1t said that had 1t not been for Mir. Hanna and his Civic Federation the anthracite coal strike would have been settled without the crushing losses that fell upon the con sumers of the country.
 If Mir. Hanna is not encouraging chaos in wage relations. what Is he doing? I maintain that free industrial conditions are essential to the highest progress and that only under such conditions can the laboring classes hope to receive the high est reward for their toll On account of the false economic ideas preached by the socialistic leaders of the laboring masses, am well aware that the idea here ad- vance is not popular, but nevertheless It is true and believe in standing for the right-come what may.
 A Misst9tement.
 "Mr. Hanna went out of his road in apologiztng for the National Association of Manufacturers in Its bad judgment in electang me unanimously as president for a second term. He stated that I managed to slip in because 1t was the custom of the Association to honor each president with two terms. This was a gross misstatement of facts for the former president filled the office six years The manufacturers of this country are supposed to have full possession of their
