to add to the difficulties Of the print
ers and defeat the success Of their
righteous claims by refusing to recog-
nlze the union and employ union slabor
In it's issues. He asked the members
of the convention to urge their unions
and the members Of those unions to
say to the Webb Publishing company
that 1t must place the union label on
us publications or they would no
longer have any dealings with it, At
the conclusion Of Mr.. Templeman's
able, forcible and captivating address,
Delegate T. w. Malcolm of Rush CITY
offered resolutions on this subject

A. E. Kellington, Of Minneapolis,
secretary-treasurer of the Interna-
tional Union of Flour and Cereal Mill
employees, yielding reluctantly to an
enthusiastic call, told the convention
that there were two mills In Minne-
sofa and one in North Dakota whose
output bore the union label, and that
large number In other parts of the
country had been unionized through
the efforts Of the American Society of
Equity. He said, in addition, that the
craft to which he belonged had long
had trouble with the washburn Cros-
by Milling company Of his city, but it
was beyond question that II the farm
ers would take the matter in hand and
deal with the offending company as
they showed disposition to deal with
the Webb Publishing company, all
trouble and cause Of complaint would
soon be removed.

The last address of the day was
made by Rev. John T. Tuohy, LII. D.,
pastor Of st. Patrick's church at
Jonesburg, Mo-, about 80 miles from
st. Louis, and an alumnus Of the Ca
tholic University Of America at Wash
ington, D. c. DR.. Tuohy has long been
student Of economics and is a mas
ter of the subject. He is editor OF
THE Multitude" a magazine devoted
to this science, and also general sec
rotary of the Producers and Consnm-
ers' International Exchange. He
treated his subject from the founda-
ton, going over the ground in detail
and showing conclusively that the only
true basis OF adjustment for the con-
tentions between labor Of all classes
and capital is living wage for labor
and living price for its products
based on the average cost cf produc.
t1on-that Is, on Justice and equity
and that If by any monopoly or spe-
cial advantage the price of products
is got up without reference to the
cost OF production, thtat price is un-
just and inequitable. Thus he led up
to plan Of procedure which he Dur
posed to lay before the convention in
! subsequent address. His speech was
exhaustive in comprehensiveness.
