jlHearst In Conservative Role.
William r. Hearst, the millionaire
newspaper editor, and Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, were the principal
speakers at the jamestown exposition
on Labor day, and vast thrGng Of
people was there assembled from ali
parts of the country. Mr.. Hearst,
whose papers and utterances hereto
fore have been associated with various
forms of radicallsm, though never go
ing beyond the assumed position of
fundamental democracy, appeared In
somewhat new role as the defender
of capital and the opponent OF class
distinctions. Said Mr.. Hearst: VI
have no patience with the prejudices
which exist between alleged classes
when the classes themselves do not
really exist There is no reason for
hostility between employer and en-
ployee, between capitalist and wage
Garner. Capital is but the accumnia-
ton Of wealth which employer and en-
ployee create together" He went on
to argue that the great financial pro

worthy Of their reward, that they wefk

work is necessary to the full produc-
ton of riches out of which are paid the
