VIEWS OF A CAPITALIST.

For ten years I made as desper-
ate fight against organized labor
as was ever made by mortal man.
1t cost me considerably over a
million dollars to learn that there is
no labor SO skilled, SO intelligent, SO
faithful, as that which is governed
by an organization whose officials
are well-balanced, level-headed
men. | now employ none but or
ganized labor, and never have the
least trouble, each believing that
the one has no right to Cypress
the other.-Potter Palmer.

The action of a number o. the wealth.
icst and best known citizens in this
city in contributing a generous fund
for the support of the Russian troupe
of actors now in this country gives the
lie TO the prevalent assertion that there
is nothing but commercialism in the
practice of the drama. These artists,
CHIEF of whom are NJ. Orleneff and
Nine. Nasimoff were driven from Rus
sia for their temerity in playing The
Chosen People" a drama dealing with
the Kiskineff massacres. They came
to New York unheralded, with little
money and in debt, and began giving
in a hall on the east side the finest
theatrical performances in the city.

cause these remarkable players will
have chance TO be heard in many of
the large cities of the country.
