something that the Daily News has

that the Daughters of the Confeder-

pay more attention to the INDECENT liv-

Labor's Battle.

Organized labor, after lengthy
conference at the national capital, has
issued an address to the country de-
claring that while the supreme
court and other institutions may tenn
porariiy retard the growth of our
movement, no power on earth can
destroy, successfully outlaw or dis
rupt the union labor movement" The
labor leaders announce their intention
of 'impressing upon congress" the
necessity of exempting the unions
from the provisions of the Sherman
antitrust law, which prevent them
from restraining trade by arbitrarily
keeping up prices of labor, and of
placing the agricultural organizations
under. the same protection by per-
hitting them to keep up the prices Of
farm products.
So far as the destruction" of the
union, labor movement is concerned,
the fears along this line are ground
less. Nobody wants to destroy the
labor unions, but there is ample rea-
son for exercising better regulation
of their operations. Certainly there IS
no excuse for furnishing one form OF
q trust and exempting another. The
