Baltimore. Nd. Oct. 1.-Taking the
ground that the prospects are bright for
the legitimate business OF the country. the
Manufacturers Record says this week:
Outside OF Wall street and the opera
tions which center there. no reason can
be found for any serious halt in the real
legitimate business activities OF the coun-
try. Wall street IS engaging for the mo-
ment the interest OF business men. as
well as spectators. and the country is
somewhat puzzled TO fathom the extent
OF the Generalization there
The West has harvested a good wheat
crop and II has the assurance OF a corn
crop, which. II not quite equal to the
largest ever produced, will not fall short
Of an average yield. The South viii re-
ceiye for Its cotton crop at least S1Oo.-
OooOo0 more than in any former year. and
its corn crop will be worth 5000. ODo more
in excess Of last years crop. thus
giving the farmers OF the South a phe-
nomenal outcome OF the years work.
These facts should be taken into con-
in Wan street.
BLAAiES LABOR ELEMENT.
Some Of the pessimism and some OF the
LE1A AGN 1s7aIA Is AAE ~ AAAe AhIoE GAt-
ment. which went wild in its attempt to
control the country. The arbitrary and un-
just demands OF labor halted the business
development. delayed building operations
and made 1t impossible for vast building
plans 10 be carried out. This has had a
marked effect upon the iron and steel in
terests. and until this IS righted, the
building activity OF the country will not
return to normal conditions.
These general conditions in the stock
market, in iron and steel. and in labor.
must not however. be regarded altogether
from the pessimistic side. The country IS
Tighting itself. and will soon resume its
normal condition OF business.
'It must be remembered that this cOun-
try now has a population OF about So
000.O00 people. the most active. yirile,
vigorous on the face OF the earth; that
this population will increase at the rate
OF about 100000 in the next ten years.
and that the solid advancement OF the
country goes forward despite the fact that
Wall street may have a sudden and severe
chill.
These 100000 people. TO be 100000
people ten years hence. by virtue OF pro-
ductive power OF machinery, are capable
OF producing and consuming per capita
probably twice as much as in 1850. In
other words, the 100.00O.009 people, ten
years hence. in productive power will be
equal 10 30O00.0oe in 1850"

President Regrets Federation's
Unauthorized Statement of
His Views.
PLACED IN FALSE POSITION.
Gompers's Address "to Organized
Labor Conveys Impression
That Roosevelt Is Playing
for Support of Both Sides.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL


washington. oct. president Gompers
and other leaders Of the American Fed
Grafton OF labor have only added 20 the
complications Of the case between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the unions by their
address. made public to-day. in which they
announce their own Interpretation of the
Presidents attitude. made not from his
public announcement. but from his con-
versation with them at the conference
Of Tuesday nisht.
Friends OF President RoOsevelt's admin
istration said tonight that Mr.. Com
pers and his colleagues had no direct au-
thority from the President to make this
statement. They did not deny. however.
that the labor leaders had the right TO
tell their followers that they believed this
to be the Presidents attitude. II they drew
such a conclusion from the conversation
OF the conference.
II Is known that the President woulG
have preferred that his statement stand
for itself. His friends say that the Com
pers address puts him in the attitude of
announcing TO the public that the open
shop" policy must be maintained In the
Government service while. at the same
time. telling the labor leaders that he is
compelled 20 follow IL BY law. but against
his own inclinations-
IN a FALSE POSITION.
Therefore. they say. II has put him in a
false position and, as one member OF the
administration put il to-day, Mr.. Com
pers conveys the impression that the Pres
ident is playing for support from both sides
OF what now appears TO be an endless
controversy.
Mr.. Gompers. Mr.. Morrison and other
members OF the Executive Council. stin
in the city. when told tonight that the
Presidents friends said that. so far as
they knew. there was no authority from
she President for making this sup
Elementary Interpretation. had no reply
20 make. except that their ground
appeared 10 be justly taken and that the
President led them TO believe thai his
views were as announced ir the Fedora
ticn statement
Il seems 10 be taken for granted that
the address To Organized Labor In
America" issued by President Gompers
was put out solely fO- the purpose OF en-
phasizing what they considered 10 be the
Presidents views, that except In the Gov
erument service. which Is circumscubed
union labor Is preferable 10 nonunion
labor.
SURE TO BE NATIONAL ISSUE
To add TO the general confusion sur
rounding the case. many labor unionlsts
take the ground that the President Is not
compelled by the law 10 maintain a policy
Of no discrimination.
A member OF a local union said tonight
that a move was already about 10 take
the matter 10 Congress and get some eL-
preston from the legislative branch OF
the Government on this point. but Just
how this can be obtained Is not explained.
