THE LABOR CONFERENCE.

President Roosevelt invited Ahe
labor leaders to the White House
dinner for a conference in regard to
his forthcoming message TO con-
gress. Instead of attempting to pre-
vent labor issues from being in
jected into politics by ignoring them.
President Roosevelt has recognized
THE permanence of the movement,
and makes confidants of the leaders
in order that they may take a broad
err view of national questions and
understand the relative and inter
woven rights AMI interests of al. the
people. Not that labor leaders are
less capable than any others OF
grasping these matters. but men de-
voted to one cause seldom have the
loppotunity 10 look beyond what APP
pears to be for the welfare OF the
cause they espouse. There are poll
cies that should be promoted in The
interest of labor and to an extent or
the whole country. There are
bounds beyond which the govern
ment cannot afford 10 go in response
to the demands OF labor. because to
do so would be to trangress the prov
ince of general government, and
would interfere with the rights and
welfare of some other citizens. The
government cannot recognize classes,
excepting as a general law operate,
most directly in the amelioration OF
the condition of some particular
class.
These things President Roosevelt
invited the labor leaders to Washing
ton to see, just as he invites manu-
facturers. railroad men, bankers,
doctors, congressman and others
whom he desires to understand his
attitude clearly. The president
elevated as he is, has a wider scope
of vision over these national issues
than have the rest Of us; he hears
both sides of a controversy, and
sometimes when he has heard both
sides and taken a comprehensive ana
retrospective view of the situatot
he is enabled to modify the opinion
and demands OF especially interested
parties.
That was partly the object OF
President Roosevelt in the confer
ence. ana then he wished to get the
views Of the labor leaders on the is
sues he will present. Under the
leadership of Samuel Gompers many
OF those men followed Bryan in the
recent election. and they naturally
must be a little distant in their
manner toward their friend, the Re
publican party. President Roosevelt
has personally held the confidence oil
! the leaders and his personality was
a great factor in checking the Comp
ers movement at the critical time.
He will. as one OF his last acts, pave
| the way for his successor to enjoy
the same relationship to the union
labor that he has enjoyed. II should
be to the mutual advantage Of the
president and the unions for the lat
tier can xin more for themselves and
humanity from a friendly admins
tration, than they can wrest from
one antagonistic and suspicious OF
their motives.

Several days ago Mrs. Schroeder heard
