:. ~ =: Conditions.

Samuel Gompers, president of the /
American Federation of Labor, was !
one of the speakers, at the eighth an
nual banquet. of the National Civic
federation recently held in New York. !,
In the course of his: address, he served
notice upon employers that attempts :.
to reduce wages because of financial ;
conditions would We fought to the ut
most by the workingmen. = =
Since I have been in New York"
said Mr. Gompers, II have been ap-
preached, dozen times by bankers,
finan eiers, capitalists, in open CONVEX
sation, in written communications and
/ in whispers to the effect that wages
must come down, that the laboring
man must make up, his mind to bear
his share of the hard times. t. ~.
<,"And I turned to these men and
said:> I would simply suggest this
thought: Our soil is not less fertile
today than 1t was yesterday; the
treasures beneath are not less valua-
BILE; the laborer not less Industrious;
! mems minds have not been dulled
since yesterday. The great genius of
all bygone ages is here with, us now
az yesterday, and men are as willing
to work today as yesterday.
Wherefore, then, is there reason,
with all these facilities for the produc-
tioin of wealth, and men willing to-
work-wherefore now, is there a rea-
son to attack wages and the American
standard of life in this country?'
IF thought the reduction of wages
would lessen the present situation by
one day would favor the acceptance
of the proposition.
'The history Of industry demon
strates that every such reduction OF
wages intended to meet such condi-
lions as now exist, has only accentu-
ated the situation, made matters
worse. When you reduce the labor
ing mans earning capacity you reduce
his consuming power and thereby in
tensify what was already bad enough.
$50 I say to the employers-to the
bankers, the lawyers, the manufactur-
ers, the mine operators, to all employ
ers-that if they now attempt to re-
duce wages they are not going to have
the easy sailing they had few years
ago, for the American workingman has
come to the conclusion that If for any
reason the financial situation Is as it.
is-and shall not suggest any reason
| tonight-it was not at an yrate due to
any fault on the part of the working
people. ~.

Tho Question Stated. 4,
Stated as concretely as possible, the.
principal difference between the work
ing people and the courts lies in the
marked tendency of the courts to guar
antee to the workman an academic
and theoretic liberty wnich he does
not want, by denying him Industrial
rights to which he thinks he is ethical
ly entitled. His grievance is that In a

Deaths Too Numerous. =
The enormously increasing number
Of railroad accidents in this country,
compared with other countries, . has
attracted much attention. The greater
number of deaths thus occasioned are
of railway employees, but there. are
enough passengers killed every year
to make the legal status of the railway
employe, as regards his right to safety
while at work. important to the pub
lie, as well. as to him and his fellows.
The safety of the railroad employe is
too closely bound to that Of the pas
senger to be separated in the eyes of
the law. When the collision comes
the engineer may die first, but the
passengers are there in the cars right
behind him:
