Labor day should rank next to the

obtained our Independence as d nation
and Labor Gay commentaries the
means by which we have made our MAJ
ton the most powerful. the most pro,

in the world.
4 Some nations have grown great by
conquering their weaker neighbors.
Others have grown rich by despoiling
dependent colonies, but this nation has
grown to be the greatest ANA the rich
est of all through the peaceful develop-
ilent of its OWL resources by the honest
labor of its citizens.
I'm this country labor is universal
and is universally IGNORED and appre-
ciateG. In this country there is no
working class, but every man worthy
of the name is q W~orhingman.
In this country there is no class of
mel that work with their hands While
another class work with their brains. In
America all men work with their brains
and when we say that American labor
ers are the most efficient on earth we
do not mean that their hands are diff
ferent than those of other men, but
that their minds are clearer. quicker
and more effective han those of other
men.
In this country the mechanics work..
the farmers work, the clerks work. tbs
business men work. the professional
men work and ever the millionaires
work. We have no aristocracy save
that of intellect and industry, and the
proudest title of our most successful
millionaire is captain of industry
In a country where all men are
working men there should be greater;
community of interest, better mutual
understanding and sympathy. 1t Is Inv
behalf of this better understanding that
l speak today. have no patience With
the prejudice which exists between al
legged classes when the classes them+
selves do not really exist.
There is no reason for hostility be,
tween employer and employe. between
capitalist and wage Garner.
Capital is but the accumulation OF
wealth which employer and employee
create together.
Wages are but the division of profits.
Both employer and employe are en-
titled to their share of the profits. and
as long rs the division is just and
equable there is no occasion for on
fict. If the division is not just ii can
always be made SO by arbitration, and
there is still no occasion for conflict.
Let us regard one another as fellow
Morkir and treat one another with
consideration and tolerance. Let us all
labor tremendously to create wealth in
order that there may be the greatest
possible amount to be justly divided.
"A condition of class hatred such as
has developed in Colorado is a curse to
this country, and is valuable only as a.
hideous example of a mistaken course.
TO be hereafter forever avoided.
II hope that such a condition has
been averted in San Francisco-from
which city / have just come-but much
has been said in the east to misrepre-
sent the union w~orkingmen Of San
Francisco. To set them right, to do
them justice. II Is only necessary to
state the exact facts With k~indergarte1.
simplicity.
You hear much today of how a nav
Or of San Francisco has fallen, but YOU
hear little of how powerful public SER
vice corporations tempted a wretched
human being with great wealth and
brought a once respected man to ruin
and disgrace.
You hear much of how a MAYOR
elected on a union labor ticket is in
jail. but little of the fact that 1t was
an honest district attorney, elected on
the same union labor ticket. who mt
,'im there. an honest district attorney
who is doing his best to put aside the
roaNor. the man really responsible for
MI this debauchery and dishonor.
While 1t is the fashion to criticise
assert that the only difference between
san Francisco and some other cities

Iorruptionists.
There is many an official elsewhere
who has stolen office or dealt in public
property who would fare ike Schmitz
i there were more honest and fearless
district attorneys like Union Labor.
