Orange. n. j.. May 22.-Speaking on
labor unions at a dinner of the civic
club at Orange Wednesday night,
Bishop Henry {. Potter said the con-
aitions which confront the people of
America to-day ere largely of their
own making. He declared that one
person had more to do with the situa-
ton than any one else and that was
the manager Of a shop or factory. not
because he tried to understand the in
terests of the workingman. but because
he wanted to get out of the working
man all he possibly could for the ben
eft Of his employer nothing more.
IT believe" said Bishop Potter, 1.-THE
folly of labor organizations in several
Instances has alienated a great deal
of the sympathy that would otherwise
have gone to them. One thing we
must realizze is that the community is
not made up Of either laborers or
capitalists, but rather Of those be-
tween who are very largely affected by
these differences.
1.-THE time may come when organized
labor may make itself so unpleasant
that it may not be able to stay in New
York. The great stumbling block in
organized labor is that the freedom Of
the individual is invaded audit has
got to be corrected"

they were still from ten to tweiy
points below expectations. In addition
to this. the weather map again reflect
ed favorable conditions, and early es-
Inmates indicated that port receipts for
the day would more greatly exceed
last year. These factors anturally ex-
erted a bearish Influence on the gen.
eral sentiment. but on the other hand,
strong aggressive tactics of the latest
bull leader have rendered the average
operator fearful of further sensational
shows of strength, SO that at the open
ing there seemed a disposition to let
the big men of either side set the pace
and establish initial range Of prices.
Still there was enough business to make
the opening an active one, while tbs
speculative atmosphere was still full
Of excitement and uncertainty. At the
