Secretary Redfleld's Address.

Secretary Redield compared the rela-
tons between employer and employe of
twenty years ago with those of today.
Twenty years ago, he said, every one
looked at the money and cared little for
the man, and now it is just the other
way around. They look more to the
man.
From a governmental standpoint, he
said. he looked upon the District of CO.
lumbia as curiosity. He told how the
vote permitted the people of Brooklyn,
~ ", his home city, to make the COM
missioner of charities do as they wanted
him to do, and how they were giverned

Carnegie touched on the heroisms or

are those developed by peace. He said
We remain barbaric so long as we toll
crate professional man killing and tho
future ages will regard war as hid

AS we regard the burning OF witches
and the sacking OF cities.
