APPEALS FOR TRIAL BY JURY

Chicago Sept. 7--organized la. bor today paid tribute to William J Bryan. Although 1t was La DOT day. 1t soon became manifest privilege and made 1t Bryan day. With in an honr after his arrival in the city. the democratic candidate for President, standing on the balcony of the Au- ditorium hotel, received the plaudits of of toilers as they marched hy in the monster labor parade. The air was rent with cheers and the en- thusiasm was unbounded.
 Later in the day, President John Fitzpatrick of the Chicago Federation of Labor introduced Mir. Bryan to a monster crowd al Forest Park, who, because of the cheers he received. stood for several minutes at the front of the pavilion before he began hs epeech on the abuse of the injunction In labor disputes The speech was practically duplicated at Brands Park an hour af- terwards, where the Electrical workers were holding forth
 Mir. Bryan's address to labor is as follows.
 If it were proper to speak from a text. 1 would select passage from Proverb, for I know of no better one than that furnished by the words of Solomon when he declared that as a man "thinketh in his heart. so is he. " This is Bible doctrine. It Is common sense and 1t is human experience. lt is poor head that cannot find a plaus. ible reason for doing what tho heart wants to do l begin my speech with this proposition because want to i'm press 1t upon the minds Of those who listen to me. and upon those who read what I say to you The labor question ls more moral than an intellectual one.
 The world is growing toward broth erhood. and our nation is leading the way. There Is more altruism in this country than anywhere else in the world. and more today than there ever has been before.
 Tho labor organization helps those outside of it as it's members because the increased wages and improved con ditions are shared by non-union mon as well as by union men.
 Do not understand me to say that a labor organization Is perfect, the kins can do no wrong" can no more he spoken of group than of individuals The labor organization is composed of men, it's affairs are controlled by hu- man beings, and human beings arc not perfect. All that man touches is stain cd with mans impcrfections. and h'' frailty can be traced through all his works. But. fortunately for the labor Ing man. the judgment pronounced against his mistakes must be tempered by the fact that those with whom the laboring man comes Into contact are also likely to err. When the employe deals with the employer, he Is dealing with one of like passions with himself Each is likely to bc insistent upon what he believes to be right, and the opinion of each as to what Is right. Is likely to be colored by selfish interests and affected by incomplete lnforma- ton as to the facts If the employe has sometimes resorted to violence t0 enforce his wishes, the employer has sometimes employed his position to SO cure an unfair share of the joint pro duct. If ds the province of the law to place limitations upon both. and the security of our government is found In the fact that both employer and eu- ploye, in their caln1er moments, will join in the enactment of laws which will restrain them in moments of temp tation. Some assume that labor Is law less and that to settle the labor ques- ton permanently we need only enforce the law vigorously I yield to none in insistence upon obedience to the law Law Is necessary in human society, and it's enforcement Is essential to peace and order but We must remedy abuses by law if we would Insure re- spect for. and obedience to. law.
 The important lesson to be learned by the citizen In government like ours is that the ballot Is both shield and svordit protects him from in jury and enforces his rights
 The first thing that Is needed for 3 better understanding of labor ques- tions is the recognition of the equa rights of all and, second more in- innate acquaintance, We have rights that may be called natural rights tbe,, ,re it, herent, We hnNn theD1 he cause we are human beings. The
