The labor movement of today

and permanent character saws the

strive for the upiirr OF all the
people, for the common good. It
is Il great human movement. and
| it has its faults, in ,nen and oc-
caSiOnally measures. IN principle
| it is as sound as the rock of
Gibraltar. It's work for human
kind is incstimable. Results have
been achieved by the unscllish
devotion Of its members. This
devotion has manifested itself in
many ways, but in a greater de-
gree by loyalty than any other.
Men have given their lives to the
cause and died in his service.
Others arc leading without hope o!
personal reward, but with the
satisfaction of participation in a
great work. This is the spirit
which has made labor what it is
today; this is the spirit that will
guide its future. Some men are
mbueu with the spirit OF !loyalty to
Il greater degree than others.
Some give their best effort with
out hope of reward or even ap.
prcciai ion. Others there arc who
accept the benefits, but give no
return. Many would sacrifice it
to gain personal prestige or po-
litical prcfermcnt. Others would
ruin-if they could-when they
can not rule.
This has been the experience Of
all great moyements-yes, and Of
little ones, too; but the good,
sound, cOmmOn sense Of the vast
majority can be relied upon, tn 1T

at the Naval Academy at Annapolis at present
is how they to transport the brigade
Of midshipmen to and from the Arrny-Navy

burn bill was passed there difficulty
about this, for, through the courtesy OF the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, special
trains were furnished for the mIdshipnen.
It is Illegal for the railway companies to
furnish free transportation, and the result is
that the midshipnen will be forced TO pay
their own expenses unless the Navy Depart
nlent sees 1T 10 order the brisade 10 Phila
delpha for the game. II this is done, under the
regulations governing the navy their expenses
would be paid by the department, and would
come out Of the fund annually appropriated by
Congress for naval officers transportation
Captain Charles ] Badger, L. s. N superin-
tendent of the United States Naval Academy
sent a dispatch TO The Tribune Yesterday IN
which he said that there were no public funds
available for the transportation Of the midship-
men TO the game this year, and that the mid
shiprner would have to pay their own expenses
unless the Navy Department ordered them 10
