MITCHELL ON UNREST.
Former Labor Leader Gives Views on
The Social Questions

OF Day.
New York, March %. - John Nit
chell of the National Civic Federation
and formerly president of the United
Mine Workers., yesterday addressed
the Congregation of the Free Syna-
gogue on Industrial Unrest" Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise, Introducing the
speaker. said that voluntary co-opera-
ton Of capital and labor would re-
duce industrial disputes.
Industrial unrest" Mr.. Mitchell
said, "has its origin in the desire for
greater freedom. The ideal of the
average working man in this country
is that some day he may have his
own small cottage, from which nobody
can evict him, and that his earnings
will be sufficient to educate his chill
dren and to provide them with proper
surroundings.
81 do not dream of an even distribu-
ton of wealth, but want more equl-
table distribution than we now have.
There are those in the labor move
ment who would destroy society to
erect a better structure. If were to
construct there Is not single struc'
ture upon which I would lay violent
hand
1--WE want our associations Of work
ing men to have such rights that they
may do their work in the open, where
everybody sees and knows what they
are doing. We do not want secret la
Dor societies like those in some coun
tries in Europe"

NEARLY MISSED BISCUITS
Rev. r. G. Davies Has An Amusing
Experience on Returning From
nee Moipac

The difficulty experienced in
locating "a vagrant quarter in
his trouser pockets Friday after
noon while passing through Pella,
enroute home from Des Moines,
caused Rev. F. G. Davies few minutes
OF real unalloyed grief. He wanted his
Dutch biscuits, for which product Pella
is widely famed, and when the Rock
Island train stopped at the Pella sta
ton, he hurriedly dispatched small
boy to the nearest store to secure the
much sought delicacy. Fearful that
the train would leave before the
youngsters return, he hurriedly ex-
planned to the boy that the money for
the biscuits would be paid on his re-
turn. The youngster returned in time,
to turn over the. biscuits to the minis
ter and receive in exchange quarter
and a tip for the favor, but the
search for the shining coin was not
successful until the "all aboard was
heard and the train had commenced
to move.
