have reached the topmost point of our

least, there will be need for the great

The chief danger to the great inter-

of organized labor. Strikes have been

Another menace is to our export

risk of increasing the cost of produc-

to hazard a guess as to what the pro-

We hear all sorts of reports, but 1 am

cred. No doubt much damage has been
done by flood and crops are backward

I hope and believe we will escape
misfortune and be able to continue as

come for the exercise of the greatest
conservatism. Labor leaders should
recognize this, as well as business men,
and call halt on indiscriminate disturb
ances. If they do this they will be act
ing not only in their own best interests,
but for those of the general public as
well.
Still another peril is in the lack OF
confidence in some of the new industrial
combinations. When a great corpora
tion like the shipbuilding trust is forced
into the courts it causes investors to
fight ship of others, and the result is
bound to be a disturbance of financial
conditions. This probably will right
itself, and in the end may bring about
healthier condition of affairs by weed

firm basis. But in the meantime some
one is bound to suffer and the public
