speak by the union His address was
well received, and at its. close he was
accorded standing vote of thanks
one of the sentiments which most
pleased his hearers was:

In the course of his address Profess
or Ryan said:

tration would, in conjunction with a
universal living wage, bring about as
near an approach TO complete wage

Ihc principle that capital is entitled
to merely fair interest would, if en-
forced, put an end to the eyactions of
monopoly, to stock watering and the
various other devices of fraudulent
finance and to the accumulation OF
predatory fortunes. Surely the church
whose chief province is the world Of
the spirit. is not neGlectful of her So

bcneficent ana farrcachins PRINCIPLES
of social Justice as these
The Socialists do, indeed. condemn

With Having knowledge Of Slavery
In the islands.


Washington. --Greatly 10 the sur.
prise ri every one, the subject OF
slavery was introduced in the senate
on Monday. Secretary TAFT was d.
rectly charged with having a knowl-
edge OF slavery In the islands. The
debate was made pertinently on the
sections OF the bill revising the cIfmi-
nal code OF the United States which
provide penalties for dealing In slaves
Mr., Hale asserted that such provis-
Ions should be stricken out, as he re-
garded slavery as obsolete in the
United States and he could see no
reason for referring to II. Senator
Hepburn, In charge OF the bill, de-
ciared that not only Is there immoral
traffic In white slaves, but that coolie
labor In the form OF practical iayery
does exist. and added that actual hui
man slavery is still maintained In the
Philippine islands.
Mr.. Lodge made statement to dis
prove the charges of slavery in the
Philippines.
