was called TO order today.
At the conclusion of the welcoming
speeches President ID. N. Parry of
Indianapolis delivered his annual ad-
dress President Parry briefly dis
cussed the labor problem. which he de
clared WAS at present the paramount
question before the association. In re-
viewing the labor events of the past
year he said.
There are many indications which
go to show that organized labor is
learning a very valuable lesson i'm eco
Monies and law observance, and hopes
can be reasonably entertained that the
strikes which have characterized the
last year viii be less strenuous in the
future.
'In regard 90 the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers ] am positive
that any crusade having for it's object
the grinding down of labor would meet
with the determined opposition Of prae-
tically the entire membership. The pol
icy of this association is primarily one
of peace. If we stand for anything
