Secretary Wilson Points
Labor to Real Issue

San Francisco, Nov. 16.-HohenzoE
lernism must be humbled if labor is
to progress.
That was the message which labor in
San Francisco was considering today. 1t
was delivered last night by Secretary
of Labor Wilson at meeting of the
building trades council
Democracy is the only kind of gov
ernment under which common people
can find expression,' Secretary Wilson
told the workingmen. "This democracy
is endangered. We cannot afford to let
any autoeratie nation impose its will on
this government. He urged the work
ers to keep industry free from inter
ruption that the men at the front may
never want for materials and that dem
oeraey may triumph.
