BRYAN PLEADS
LABOR'S CAUSE

and More Intimate ACquain-
tanCe Between Factors
MAKE REFERENCETO TRUSTS

CHICAGO. Sept. 7-wnliam Jcn-
nings Bryan, Democratic candidate for
President, is the guest Of the Chicago
Federation of Labor to-day. On his
arrival this morning. He was met
at the train by a committee of fifty
members Of the central body and es-
corted to his hotel.
Bryan is especially jubilant over the
announcement by Judge Taft that he
will make a speaking tour. To-day
he commented sarcastically on the
change of heart" Of the Republican
managers, and intimated that, in his
opinion "the damage has already been
DONE"
At noon Bryan reviewed the Zig
Labor Day parade from the balcony
Of the hotel.
This afternoon BRYAN is addressing
a big Labor Day picnic and tonight
as the guest of the International As
sociation of Electrical Workers, he viii
speak again to labor at Brands Hall.
At the labor picnic this afternoon
Bryan said
''The world is growing toward
brotherhood. and our nation is leading
the way. There is more altruism in
this country than anywhere else in
the world, and more to-day than there
ever has been before. There is more
recognition of the kinship that exists
between us. more thought about the
questions which concern a common
humanity than at any preceding time.
The labor organization is a part Of this
great movement of the masses toward
closer fellowship. 1t mas worked Won
ders in the past and its work is only
commenced.
"The labor organization helps those
outside of it as its members becaL7e
the increased wages and the improved
conditions are shared by son-union
men as well as by union men.
"Do not understand me to say that
a labor organization is perfect; 'tha
