St Paul, Mimi, May 14.-All danger

Railway system has passed and an
amicable agreement between the COM

new men are to be given increased
wages after one years service, instead
of five, as proposed by the company,
and upon the double-header question,

CAPITAL AND LABOR
WERE DISCUSSED
Charged That Socialism, If 1t Comes. Will Be Due
to CapitaIIstic Organizations

Boston, May 14.-The general meet
ings of 1903 of the American Social
Science Association began here to-
day.
George H. Anderson, a member of
the Suffolk county, Massachusetts,,
bar. spoke on Some Responsibilities
of Capitalistic Organization" He said
that the labor organizations have no
moral standing to denounce trusts, for
their movement is as distinctly a COM
bination or trust as is the capitalistic
movement. The two movements, he
said. are like in motive and object.
I'm the contest as it is now carried
on between these two opposing forces,
it is obvious that there are at least
two main desiderata: first, that the
parties to the contest should become
so nearly equal in real and apparent
power that each may come to respect
the other, to the end that an eoui-
librium approximating justice may re-
suit The organization of labor is an
absolute condition precedent under
present conditions to any sound social
and industrial progress. To oppose that
organization, to attempt to prevent it
by legislation, or to denounce it in
terms recently used at the manufac
turers' association at New Orleans. is
both futile and foolish.
THE second desiderata is that there
should be an increased respect for law
and for justice on the part of both la
Dor and capital The final appeal must
be to Justice
