serious picture of the labor conditions
in America was drawn to-day by Keir
Hardie, one of the principal speakers
at the ninth annual conference Of the

Hardie explained that he had just

distress there was widespread, and ac.
centuated by the collapse of the false
boom following the election Of William
II. Taft to the Presidency.
Judging from the number OF un.
used freight cars and the army OF
homeless people in America" said
Hardie. IT think I am safe in saying
that conditions there are worse than
they have been in many years. Condi.
tions in New York are far from satis>
