 called upon as a guest of the evening to say a few words, Prof Farnam had not prepared a speech, but he spoke briefly on the closed ship and traced it's history to the medieval closed trade guilds.
 Isaac H. Blanchard of New Jersey followed Prof. Farnam, In substance he said: There is a deep principle in back of what I want to say to you to- night Determine upon the right, stick to the right, do the right and you will prevail against all heaven and all hell. God has put a sense of right in the heart of every man. That it was I think that resulted in the election of Jerome as district attorney of New York with odds of 20 to 1 against him. What was the reason that the head of a great New York life insurance com pany resigned from a position paying $1OO,OO0 and paid back $295 ,0O0 which he thought he ought to pay back? There was no law to compel him to do so. I think it was the sense of right.
 l think we of the typothetae have stood by that principle.
 After reference to the strike of the typographical union, in which he spoke of the defeat of the union as the worst it had ever met and the worst he hoped any union would ever meet, he declar- ed that the union in this strike deserved to meet defeat and was getting it in good sized chunks.
 In closing MT. Blanchard referred to the question of the education of the children, referring especially to those of printers. You send them to the pub- lie schools, said he What does the grammar school do for them?- What? It teaches them the details of how Han nibal crossed the Alps and such like Things that he may be able to use in after life, but not of the utmost import ance.
 What shall we do with the boy or the girl? l want to offer one suggestion. l propose that a printing press should be added to-a high school just for the printing of school news A certain per centage of the boys who worked on this would turn out first class master prin- ters, printers worth talking about.
 l hope something may be done soon to render our education more practical.
 George A. Denison, secretary of the Employers association of Springfield, was then introduced. He said in part: Two principles prominent in the life of Benjamin Franklin were honestly and straightforward Suppose we apply these principles to our troubles. Suppose we could apply these principles to our troubles. Sup pose we could apply common sense to the labor questions of this country. I think common sense is the greatest of all human acquisitions and the greatest of all gifts.
 The present policy of the trades unions is to restrict production. This would result in bringing to an end the commercial supremacy of America. We all are proud of our supremacy Yet it cannot be maintained if the present policy of the trades unions is followed.
 l tell you, employees, your wages are as sure to go down as I stand here unless you keep up the product. There is only one way to increase your wages. That is to decrease the cost and keep up the production,
 There is no word so hated to all labor leaders to-day as monopoly. Yet what is the closed shop but a monop- oly? I have only to ask you this ques- tion. Your own consciences answer it. Is it American? Is 1t square deal?
 We cannot afford to compromise from our firm stand on this point. There is a definite line drawn here. There can be no compromise on this point.
 What think is needed by the work ing people of this country to-day is to
