he tossed his face back and laughed and laughed with
great violence and enjoyment. Then he handed me
bucket of water, cake of salt water SOAP and
paint swab. Chucking the cutaway suit that had

into slop suit of dungarees tossed at me by the

breezy letter, in which he said: i am
pretty hard worked, but were just as
happy as two bugs in a rug Our hearts
are broken now"
The funeral was limited to the i'm

Fully a thousand messages Of con-
dolence from all parts of the country
have reached Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Wat
terson. These came not only from rela-
tives and friends. but from many SYM
pathizers who were personally unknown.
Not a few of these messages came from
party adversaries. including members of
republican campaign and most of the
leading republicans of Kentucky. To these
especially Mr. and Mrs Watterson wish
to return their grateful acknowledgment.

GREAT PROBLEMS FOR' GREAT MEN Able Addresses Are Delivered
 In Philadelphia GOMPERS TALKS ON LABOR Labor Leader Declares That Working Men Neither Support Nor De-
 nounce Strikes, As Fear of
 Latter Brings Good.
GOMPERS TALKS ON LABOR

Philadelphia, Pa., April 10.-Industrial social and political problems were dis cussed at length here today at the an- nual session of the American Academy of Political Science, by men prominent in various walks of life. "The Present Business Situation and Antitrust Leg islation'' was the topic for discussion at the afternoon meeting. The speakers were Sampel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor; Charles P. Niell commissioner of labor, Wash ington; William J. schiefflin, vice pres ident of the National Association of Wholesale Druggists, New York; Isador Straus and George L. Duval, New York, and Theodore Marburg of Baltimore.
 All of the speakers were optimistic as to the financial and business outlook.
 Mr Gompers said that if 50 business men were to go before just judge and give their opinions as to the cause of the recent financial and industrial dis turbance he was of the opinion that they would not agree, but he desired to make it plain that whatever the cause, the working people were not to blame. The fact that such conditions existed, he de- clared, should be taken as a lamentable commentary on the methods of the princes of finance and captains of indus try The workers, MT. Gompers said, were not in favor of a species of gov- ernmental action that denies the right to business man to conduct modern business within the law.
 MT. Gompers said of organized labor that it had raised the standard of life. and speaking for the body of working men whom he represented, he declared that they neither supported nor de- nounced strikes, as they realized that fear of strikes produced good results.
 MT, Neill said that if the Sherman law was trying to secure absolute free and unconstrained competition, but that the government could never bring back such a condition While we are led to believe the consumer is the only honest person, MT. Neill said he was just as selfish as the trust magnate or the labor leader When it comes down to the effects of competition the speaker pointed out that every sweatshop was the legitimate prod uct of competition, and the reduction or wages was also the result of competition The association or commission, he held, was the only means of preventing dlssa.- isfaction by competition
 The annual address to the academy by Judge Peter s. Grosscup of the circuit court of appeals, Chicago, on "The Scope, the Limit and the Duty of the Govern ment in Relation to Corporate Construc- tion and Management" and the discussion of, the paper by Herbert Knox smith, commissioner of corporations, Washing ton, and James B. Dill of the New Jersey court of errors and appeals, ended the programme for the session tonight
 The academy will continue in session tomorrow.
