BRYAN LAUDS UNIONS.
Says Work Of Oganized Labor Can Not
Be Overestimated.

Be CvereStimated.
William Jennings Bryan, at the clos
ing conference in Chicago in connec-
ton with the recent industrial exhibit
ton, expressed the opinion that trades
unions have done more good for So
ciety than any other force in this coun-
try.
THE unions have made some mis-.
takes. but they have accomplished
more good" was the keynote of his
speech. He paid a tribute especially
to the organization of women in this
connection.
When we consider that through
trades unions wages have been in
creased, hours shortened and comfort
afforded the workingmen in greater
measure" he said, 81 think we have a
right to say the benefits resulting from
these unions can not be overestimated.
Perhaps no other force in the country
ever has been so effective for improve
ment in the citizenship and general
moral qualities of our people.
But il we omit this phase of the
union energies entirely and consider
two other channels through which the
labor organizations have worked sue
cessfully, l believe we will find enough
to support my assertion. l mean the
activities of the unions in respect to
politics and the restriction of child la
Dor.
THE Australian ballot system, for
one thing, is largely due in this coun-
try to the agitation of the trades I'M
ions. almost feel safe in saying
that had it not been for the interest
taken in this reform by these organ
izations we might still be employing
the old system of voting
IF the labor union had never done
anything else than raise the age limit
of employment of children in the
mines and factories of this nation,
l believe that accomplishment alone

Bryan said he believed women might

In general Professor Commons finds

Sullivan points out that In many cases
