PLEADS FOR LABOR
At HARVARD DINNER
DR.. Wiley Urges University Alumni
to See Toiler Is Equi-
tably Rewarded.
Numerous Persons Of Note Attend
and Speak at Annual Ban
quet of Association.

Greater than the question of what
ships shall fly the American flag;
greater than the question of what ma
tion shall rule Europe, and greater
than the question of what flag shall
rule the seas Is the question today of
giving the laboring man his fair and
just reward
So declared Dr. Harvey w. Wiley at
the thirty-second annual dinner of the
Washington Harvard Club at the Uni
versity Club last evening. One of the
speakers preceding DR.. Wiley had
called attention to the fact that the
great university did not quite make
running expenses last year.
THE moment Harvard's abdomen be-
comes puffed with wealth Harvard will
cease to be the great university it is
today" he said. LAS one of the other
speakers said, Harvard does teach us
to separate the wheat from the chaff,
but We give the chaff to the laboring
man. 1t must be the duty of Harvard
men to see that the toiler gets his full
share of the wheat. Harvard men must
teach the nobility of labor apd the no.
bility of sharing the fruits of labor
with all who labor
