THE TRADE AGREEMENT
President elect Taft Declares That 1t
Makes for Peace.

Speaking ut the annual dinner of the
National Civil Federation in New York,
President elect Taft said in part:
There was Il time when every man
who employed labor was opposed to a
labor union, That is changed, The
man who objects today to the organiza-
ton of labor should be relocated to the
last century. where he belongs.
The organization of labor has done
mavcls for the laboring man. and it
will do more 1t has done marNels for
the employer. and it will do more.
Il believe that in the course of few
years it will eliminate that very feat
IRE to which some object the dead
level a. they call it. 1t will. through
mutual understanding of the Justice Of
the thing prevent the ,hiftlcsS and the
chaIWctcrleos and the unworthy from
being placed on the same plane with the
workman who works and works intelli-
gently. 1t will bring the level up not
down.
There was time when machinery
was looked upon as a menace To man
kind. That time is past And so has
the time PASSED when the organization
OF labor i, looked upon H. an obstacle
in the path of progress"
Mr.. Taft referred to Mr. Mitchell and
Mr.. Gomper~ and other leaders of Labor
a, men who are doing a good work"

The Ia t.. IN dentist has more different

that curves slips over the tooth and
