the trades union movement in your,
opinion more appropriate for q Labor
day address. Re Well, without In the
least disparaging the merits of the
questions named;alet me say that you
all belong to the industrial class and
Of all our Industries farming is the
most distfnctiyely American, and that
Is my only apology for introducing it.
What suggested it was this: :.
The First Farmer.
"A few days ago, a full-fledged
farmer from Germantown visited the
Labor World office and waxed eloquent
In extolling the supremacy Of the agri-,
cultural life over all Others. Incl
dentaIly he observed that the first
born Of the human race was a farmer.
Yes replied a mach1nist who was
present, and the same first farmer
was the first murderer The farmer
retorted quickly, as soon as he became
a murderer~he quit farming, went into
a far country, and became a. great
worker of metals and then he was
enabled to murder people Indirectly
without let or hindranee, and If any
protests were registered against his
actions, he could invoke, the aid Of the
powers that be- in enforcing silence
and obedience to his murderous meth
DDS; and his lineal descendants In that
industry have followed in his footsteps
as is evidenced by the recent unearth-
ing of the Pressed Steel Car company
horrors at McKees Rocks, Pennsyl-
vanial This shot silenced the iron,
man. J.. '...~ 49,. RS - -
"My subject, then, Is farming and
that I may keep my thoughts from
running riot over too great field in
agriculture I have narrowed the. sub
ject to the topic embodied in the
scripture quotation, THAT which a
man sows, shall he not also reap?"
"The argument of the question is
easily understood, and the lesson to
be inferred from it applies to every
line Of endeavor in which humanity
can engage. Let US take sowing to be
a collective form expressive of all
the activities preliminary to and in
Guiding the work Of getting the seed
properly implanted in suitable soil.
These activities, as you know will
embrace, in our section of the country
at least, the falling Of timber, removal
Of stumps, blowing and narrowing OF
the land, etc. Let us say that the
! word 'reaping' means all that is i'm
z piled in being rewarded with an abun-
dant harvest. We may state as "a
general rule that If due care is exer-
cised In the selection of seed and all
the other conditions precedent are

svening between The sowing and the

stalking care and labor bestowed upon
the sowing would Justly entitle him. 5"
1T ts clearly manifest then when
