We publish in another column of today's Review a resume of annual report of Secretary of Labor W. Ic Wilson As a message calculated to ncltc 10 further extravaganza the malcontens of labor In this country deserves repudation by the administration and rebuke from every lawioving citizen In this try Coming at a time when conciation Is uppermost in the minds of the the people ot the nation irrespective individual interests the document is highly unworthy contribution from member of Presi dent Wilson's cabinet It is utterance sureharged with seshness and bgotry containing as its chief note protest against the of firearms and the employment of armed guards private detectives in labor disputes It will offend labor than il will shock the eni. ployer
 The right of man to protect his property is tunda mental and inalenabe It is enjoyed in common by the wage and the payer. The means taken to insure protection in srkes-as in other contingencies containing the elements-are those commensurate with the exigencies of the These exigences have to do with the peris Of directed only the destruction of property but toward human lives. Until arrival of the millennium force will be opposed by be in personal disputes, in strikes Or in wars.
 As at present constituted abors army in this country | aw.flaunting It is with the latter that the peace thores have deal in the only given to them which is the employment of adequately equipped guard ians. The purposeful workman of today-the whc pushing steadily forward toward a solution of indus trial probemsdepreciates with the utmost sincerity h' vengeful lawess acts of his ntemperate brethren It has been proven that the mediator accompshes more than the murderer; that the conservation of property involved in a strike is better than it's destruction.
 In his foreword Secretary Wilson says that the De partmept of Labor created in the interest of tho wage of the United States" and he adds quickly

 The history of strikes supplies almost unbroken re' of the fact that is had solely afte the commttal Of overt acts by strikers because conditions which make precautionary measures necei sary The dynamite cases" and other outrages con mited by incendary labor leaders fresh in th public mind lead Secretary Wilson to hope for an heahful endorsement of his inflammatory utterance From a with record such cings to him connection with his unsavory Maryland experiences, will little surprise but much regret thes words in his report
 "The of firearms in species of private warfar in connection with labor strikes calls for serious col sderaton Groups of both sides. without mil tary police authority for it, have used firearms wit fatal effect in the coal strike in southern Colorado
 Doubtless Secretary Wosn is among those who r sent the action of the authorities in excluding Moth' Jones from the Colorado region to prevent this age frebrand from working the passions of the lawes
 Even when perused with the utmost indulgence, Sc retary Wilson's report cannot be considered oth, than a vehicle to express the bitterness of man
