QUESTION OF UNIONS
Bishop Potter's Views of the
Situation Confronting the
American People.

Orange. y. J., May 21.-Speaking on
labor unions at a dinner Of the Civic
club of Orange last night, Bishop
Henry Z. Potter said the conditions
which confront the people of America
are largely of their own making he
declared that one person had more 20
DO with the situation than anyone
else. and that was the manager of a
shop or factory. not because he tried
to understand the interests Of the
nottingham. but because he wanted TO
get all he possibly could out Of the
workingman for mis- employer, nothing
more.
4 believe said Bishop Potter. the
folly of the Ia Dor organizations in seF-
eraI instances has aHenated great
deal of the sympathy that would 9TH
erwise have gone to them one INNS
we must realize is that the community
is not made up of either labOrers or
capitalists but rather of those between,
who are very largely affected by tAes4
differences.
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. and that has
got to be corrected.
