ST. JOSEPH. La, FRIDAY. APRIL 2s. 1905.

The cost Of labor is one of the prin.
cipal items that enter into competition
between business men. No one can
deny this, declares the Chicago Inter-
Ocean. Then is it not decided ad-
vantage I, deal with an organization
of labor that guarantees to the busi-
ness man that his competitor is pay
ing the same wages that he does?
And, besides, there is not a union in
existence which places minimum
wages above what a man can afford
to support a man upon comfortably.
Union wages are always reasonable
wages. Employers of labor who OBJ
ject to the strictly union shops do so
simply because union regulations re-
quire a standard of justice to the
workmen that most employers want
to violate in the interests of profit.

During the session we we're in the

there appeared suddenly in our midst
tall, ungainly man. homely OF visage
and rather shabbily dressed. He did
not intrude himself, but sat on the
outskirts OF the company, neither prof.
iering opinions nor taking sides in the
controversies that occasionally became
pretty warm. No one seemed to know
anything about him. and when I asked
friend who he was he replied care

where in Illinois, One evening, how
ever after he had been there some

something moved him to speak, and
then he began to talk. We all sat
spellbound.

said, "heard anything that approached

anecdote, that poured out in an un-
ceasing stream. He talked thus fer
three solid hours. Some one said,

he said, "and the prophecy that We
should hear from him again, 1t must
