That very dominat- ing man was born on Sept. 3, 1899; he won the battle of Dunbar Sept. 3, 1850; that of Worcester Sept 3, 1851, and he died Sept. 3, 1858.

SAYS SMALL BUSI ESS
MEN ARE THE sRULE

This nations business is in the
hands ct small concerns is the opinion
Of Edward N. Hurley, vice president
of the federal trade commission.
In an address before the association
Of national advertisers at New York
he said that there were about $4,000
corporations In this country, outside
OF the banking, railroad and public
utilities corporations. Included in the
first4named, 100000 produce no net
incomes, 10000 have a net income of
less than $1,000 a year and only the
10000 remaining MAKE $4,000 a year
or over.
or the 10000 corporations in the
latter class, 10000 sell goods worth
from 100000 to s750.000; 10000
from $3.50, 900 to 100000; 5000 from
100000 to $1,000,Q00; $500 from
$1,000,000 to $5,oC0,000, anad only
462 corporations do an annual busi-
ness of $5.000,000 or more.
Mr.. Hurley warned exporters against
assuming that the Europ IN war
would insure them a permanent for
eign market, to be retained without
effort.

said, Should realize that not a smoke
stack has been destroyed, in England,

WRITER PAYS TRIBUTE
TO LABOR CONVENTION

Inez Haynes Gilmore, writer, ex-
presses these views of the A. f. Of L.
convention recently held in San Fran
cisco:
1T was like listening to the plans
OF generals of an army.
II was truly impressed by the ply
sical aspect Of those men. They were
the biggest, the most Understanding,
the most straight-looking men I ever
saw In my life. And they had more
Of the fighting spirit than. all of the
army and navy put together, because
the army and navy are bureaucratic
and fight for position, while the A.
+. OF L. fights only for labor.
II believe that the labor union is
the only thing that we have that is
training men to citizenship. Our
schools do not do it, or colleges do
not do 1t. But as soon as a man Joins
a labor union he begins his training
IN citizenship. The remarkable INTEL
ligence of every man In that conven-
ton as to what was going on. and
their knowledge and understanding Of
It and all Of the economic laws under
It was the most impressive thing I
have ever seen.

ECONOMIC POWER BEST;
OBSERVE NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand has ceased to lead in
radical legislation, according to an
interview in Tbl australian Worker.
with John RIGGS for 21 years a
member Of, the legislative council in
New Zealand and president Of the
labor conference.
THE political development Of New
Zealand is very interesting from the
point OF view of the student" said
Riggs. I'm 1890, and for few years
onward, during the. time of John Bal
lance and the earlier years Of Rich
ard Seddon's reign, New Zealand set
a light in the sky for other nations
to follow. A great deal of experi-
mental legislation was passed which
was of great value. During the later
period of the Seddon administration,
however, this slackehed off, ana ex-
cept for an occasional measure Of
social Importance, very little Of value
mas since been done. In fact, the
legislation passed has been more of
an oppressive nature, and during the
maritime strike the Massey govern.
ment, under the title of the Trades
Disputes act, re-enacted the old con-
spiracy laws Of England which had
been repealed In 1875.
AT present, New Zealand, from
having been the most progressive
state in the British dominions. has
fallen into the position Of being the
least progressive. There are those
who think, however, that with the
proper organization of labor, we are
on the eve of new forward move
ment, and within the next five or six
years will have a labor government.
In little time we shall recover, and
then an energetic campaign will be
commenced which will meet with
success
II share thiS prophecy, and the
only thing that is keeping back the
movement Is that the recent strikes
have depleted the funds Of the
unions, SO that It is somewhat diff.
cult to carry on the organizing work.
