Attitude of Unions.

did organized labor properly express
its condemnation of violence on hearing of
the Los Angeles disaster? 1t did by inter-
views, addresses and publications. The
hundreds Of union labor papers in their
issues succeeding the event contained
what, taken together, would make vol
umes deciarative of the sentiments OF
their editors and of the rank and file OF
union membership on the subject. All
recognized the case as one of mystery,
the feeling shown being that of horror at
implicated in it. Unions framed resolu-
tons in meetings declaring that trade
unionism was not to he advanced by muir

many others were quoted to similar eff
feet. The president Of the American Fed

cannot believe that union man has done
1t, and I deeply hope that no one who
was connected with the labor movement
will be found to have done it, 1t Is incon-
ceivable that union man should have
done this thing. And yet If 1T is found
that a union man has done it unionism
cannot be blamed by fair-mfnded men
for the deed of a man devoid OF any hui
man feeling, as the perpetrator of this
horrible catastrophe must have been. 1t
was the act Of a mailman. No one with
an ounce of sympathy in his makeup
could do aught but contemplate such q
crime with the deepest abhorrence.'

. Tribute To Farmers

my earliest and dearest recollec'
t;ons are those Of my boyhood days
and are intimately associated with
farmers and farming. From the
earliest history until the present
time the farmer has always had q
prominent place in records, laws
and traditions. Some Of the oldest
known laws in the ancient countries
in the east were regulations in re-
gard to the tilling of the soil.
81 think it may truly be said OF
farmers that according to the pro,
portion of the taxes they pay and
what they add to the country's
wealth they receive smaller return
than does the city dweller. The
farmer does not need the protection
which the city man must nave, as
the closer acquaintanceship OF the
country creates a public sentiment
which makes for better morals and
reduces crime and violence to a
minimum. Public sentiment also
discountenances and does away
with many little disputes which are
taken into courts in cities.
The farm is the best place in the
world for the development OF man
hood and if a man has it in him to
be of some account a better place
than the farm could not be selected
to bring it out. American farms,
many times larger than the average
European farm, make tillers of the
soil better and more independent.
