LABOR.[lVIOVS
UNDER FIRE
Manufacturer Association Will Try
to Put Them Out Of
Business.
Hearst News Service.

New York, May ia determined
warfare on all labor unions, which will
have the support of the 5000 members
of the National Associations of Manu-
facturers, representing an aggregate
capital of fifteen billion dollars, viii
soon be commenced. This action was
determined apon at today's session of
the association, which is holding its
annual convention at the Waldorf AS
toria. Political methods will be used
by the manufacturers in the fight,
which will infect new and vital is
sue into the presidential campaign.
According to President James w.
Van Cleve, the membership of the as
sociation is practically unanimous In
the matter of fighting the unions. 1t
is alleged that of the 100000 labor
ers in the country, less than 1900, 900
are affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. and that any deter
mined stand against what is termed
the tyranny of organized labor VIII
receive the support of the great ma
jority of these unorganized workmen.
1t is stated that the association will
net attempt to disrupt the unions, but
will make its fight against some of the
principles which the unions stand for
and which are obnoxious to capital.
Among these are the closed shop, the
boycott, sympathetic strikes, appren-
ticeship restrictions and compulsory
uses of the union label.
New York labor leaders are appar-
emily not alarmed by the proposed
warfare of the association and declare
that it is but another outburst of the
spirit of vain antagonism to unions
which has heretofore found feeble ex-
preston in citizens alliances and simi-
lar bodies.

BY r. L. BENNETT.

When | was a boy l remember to
have often seen in the newspapers of
the day this expression:
"The latch string hangs outside"
This metaphor was then not only ex-
pressive, but to me quite comprehen-
sive. In my own home | had often
seen the primitive latch string, and
readily understood the current phrase
to men, "you are welcome" In every
language there are certain phrases
which convey in unmistakabIe terms
the meaning of the user, and their
talismanic character is marked We
come to value most highly those words
to which we may readily turn when
desirous of expressing some thought
or feeling which indexes our character
or the character of our relations to
those to whom we wish to reveal
those relations. For instance, we ap-
preciate the richness of our own
tongue when we wish ito say God
our Father" Man our Brother, Moth
err Wife," Son." Daughter, =
Friend" "Neighbor," Home" "Heav-
en-" Robert E. Lee said the sublim-
est work in our language is DUTY"
The word Peace" naturally calms the
soul. All these suggest some privilege
of man, some treasured possession,

There is no use talking any more about William Howard Taft leaving the cabinet. Why should he leave 1t? He is not going to leave 1t, anyhow.
 A little while ago we were disposed to question the propriety of his re- taining his important portfolio while so actively engaged in pursuing the nomination for president, but that was a little while ago. We know him better now. A fuller appraisement of him at short and long range-mostly long has taught us the infinite capacity of the man. He may need young Hitch cocks help, but we doubt it.
