USE THE GOLDEN RULE-HANNA.
The Senator Says That IL the Way to Settle
Labor DlsDutes.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE Golden Rule is
the panacea for settling labor disputes,
according to Senator Mark Hanna, who
made spirited address for peace in the
industrial world before the Civic Fedora
tion convention to-day. As the Senator
poured out honeyed phrases in praise of
labor organizations the face of Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American Feder-
alton Of Labor, beamed.
The bitter experience which Senator
Hanna went through during the strike in
the Ohio ccal regions in 1874, he declar ed
had taught him there is better way than
fighting, and that is conciliation. He
made an eloquent appeal to both sides for
business methods and fair dealing
The convention was opened to-day by
former Judge A. n. Waterman. Senator
Hanna was the first speaker, and he was
followed by W. l.. Mckenzie King. Labor
Commissioner Of Canada, who told Of the
operations Of the Voluntary Arbitration
act in that country.
Marcus M. Marks, president Of the
National Arbitration of Clothing Manu-
facturers, spoke on the high minimum
wage and Samuel Gonpers made general
talk
Mr.. Hanna said:
1T was my good or i'll fortune, thirty
years ago, to have been connected with
one Of the most serious strikes that ever
occurred in the Ohio mine region. not al
an owner, but simply an employee repre-
senting tho operators side. In looking
backward on the occurrence and all that
went with that terrible strife, made up
my mind there was better way OF settling
such affairs. believe the future in our
industrial world will be governed by this
conoilation movement of the federation
that nterted in Chicago four years ago.
Il think the duty on the part Of the en-
ployer is even greater than that Of the en-
ployee We know that all great measures,
political or social, are the result of COM
promise, and this is true of the industrial
world. believe the only rational way
to achieve success is to have the repre-
sent atives Of the two great factors-labor
and capital-meet with spirit OF deter
mination to accomplish something for the
best interest of ALL"
