WILSON A SPEAKER
AT LABOR MEETING
WOTthineSS Of Patience and
Tolerance His Theme.

Washington, July 5-Presiden
Wilson emphasized the worthiness OF
patience and tolerance in interna
tional affairs in a speech delivered at
the dedication of the new home of the
American Federation of Laber mere.
america did not come into exist
ence to make one more great nation
In the family of nations, to show its
strength and to exercise mastery"
said the president. America opened
her doors to everybody who wanted to
be free and to have the same oppor-
tunity that everybody else had to
make the most of his faculties and
his opportunities, and America will
retain its greatness only so long as
1t retains and seeks to realize these
ideals. No man ought to suffer injus,
tice in America. No man in America
ought to fail to see the deep dictates
of humanity"
Later on the president in express,
ing the national ideal, said tnat, at is
take as well as give that the man
has as much right as we have; that
we are not to seek Cor an advantage,
but for an equality; that though we
have been put upon, we do not de-
sire to see any other man put upon,
or any other class, but that we should
all have as our highest ideal merely
to bask in that only nourishing sun
that has ever shone upon the human
heart, the sun OF justice and of truth
and of humanity"
Early in his speech he declared that
the great difficulty in the relationship
between capital and labor Is that la
| Dor is in immediate contact with the
work to be done. whereas capital, In
too many instances, is at great re
move" The president in referring
to the provision of the Clayton anti
trust law, which specified that labor
is not a commodity, but part ot the
life of the laborer, and that 1t SHOULD
not be treated as a commodity sait
he was sorry that there were any
judges in the United States who haC
needed to be told this truth
Mrs. Mabel Vernon, woman suf
fragist, interrupted the president ask
ing why he blocked the national suf
frage amendment before congress.
Policemen led her from the speakers
stand The president was not dis
turbed by the incident.
