The Labor Commissioner.

Hon Thomas j. Lyons of Ninalhaven
commissioner of industrial and labor
statistics, was the next speaker. The
great gathering listened to his brief
address with marked attention, as he
spoke from his great store of practi-
cal experience, having been a promi-
nent nerlber of the Granite Cutters
tnior since its organiZatio in 1877 and
having thorough Knowledge of the
trade union movement during the last
SO wears.
Mr.. Lyons addressed himself directly
to the members OF his craft who were
present III large numbers from the sew
eral granite cent"rS of the state, but
his rcnlarkc were, nevertheless of gen
raj interest. He showed tho beniitS ~

younger trades unioniStS present and
he was frequently interrupted by APP

graccd the occasion by their presence
and Mr.. Dunnack spoke as follows;
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow Workers:
There is no necessary hostility be-
tween labor and capital. Neither can
do without the other; each has evolv-
ed from the other. Capital is labor
saved and materialized; the power to
labor is in itself a form of capital.
There is not even necessary. funda-
mental antagOnism between the labor
err and the capitalist. Both are men,
with the virtues and vices of men, and
each wishes at times more than his
fair share. Yet, broadly considered,
the interest of the one is the interest
of the other, and the prosperity of the
one is. the prosperity of the other.
Where wages are high, capital and the
conduct of business are not without
their reward; where the industry of the
country is carried on by broad minded,
far seeing. adventurous leaders, the
remuneration of labor increases, even
to the common laborer on the streets.
In the pursuit of ideals, trade
unionism has justified its existence by
good works and high purposes. At
one time viewed with suspicion by
workman and employer alike. it has
gained the affections Of the one and
the enlightened esteem of the other.
Slowly and gradually it has progressed
toward the fulfillment of its ideals.
1t has elevated the standard of living
of the American workman and con-
ferred upon him higher wages and
more leisure. 1t has increased eff
fciency. diminished accidents, averted
disease, kept the children at school,
raised the moral tone of the factories,

ist; and it makes for higher citizen
ship as well as for more good custom
ers at the stores.
"Unionism should not be judged by
its worse features. but by its general
CHARACTERISTICS. 1t does not ask to be
judged by its best. There is good and
bad in all institutions; their real value
lies in their general attributes. The
real test of~an institution lies in its
helpfulness to those who need help.
The union stands for persistent and
insistent progress of the plain people.
Its aim is to uplift the standard of
toiling manhood and womanhood. 1t

make the multitude happier and bet

recognition of this purpose is to do it
an injustice.
who are promoting the agitation
for the abolition of the sweat-shops
for justice to women both industrlally
and politically, and for the right OF
children for such a childhood as their
Maker intended for them? The truth
is the union is quite as much con-
cerned with broad civic and humani-
tartan problems as with the immedi-
ate necessities of it's own members.
Next to an honest press the unions
hold more potentiality for good citizen
ship than any other force in society.
No man is likely to become good
citizen who has not the opportunity
for comfortable home and the means
to educate his children. No man lives
for himself alone is one of the most
important truths the union teaches.
There is no man so poor or lgnor-
ant but the union will take him as
a member and place at his disposal all
the educational forces of industrial or
in order that he may retain
his self respect, that he may have new
hope for the future and may be en-
couraged to join with his fellows in Sc
curing those rights and privileges
which make a good citizen. He learns
that he is not alone in the struggle, that
there are those who will care for nm
and help him. In the union man
learns to respect the rights of others
He realizes the power of associated eff
fort He sees by contrast, of how lit
tie account is the individual standing
alone in our present complex society.

in self government. constant educa-
ton in self reliance. and it is a con-
