from Berlin yesterday that d new ul-
timatnm had been sent to the Ger
man government, because all the To-
comotivesl to be handed over under
the terms Of the armistice cannot be
delivered at once. The newspaper
says that it is true that Germany Is

sponsible for further delays, but he
has not fixed time limit for the
carrying out of the clause relative to

concerns organized that had as their
prime motive the artificial idea of
either restricting production or in

what was true of capital will be
equally true of labor and therefore
the education of the American labor
ing man must he to have him realize
that his permanency and success and
the success Of the nation will depend
upon labor conditions and capital
conditions that are founded on eco
nomic principles first of all.
II am not opposed to organized
labor. / believe that labor should
organize in individual plants or
amongst themselves for the better
negotiation of labor and the protec-
ton of their own rights; but the or
ganization and control of labor in in
dividual plants and manufactures, to
my mind, ought to be made repre-
sentative Of people in those plants
who know the conditions.
I'm the years gone by, I seriously
doubt many times If labor has re-
ceived its fair share of the prosperity
of this great country. We as manu-
facturers have got to open our eyes
to a wider vision of the present and
the future with reference TO our
workmen. We have got to devise

buildings at Copiapo. Several deaths
occurred in CopiaDo, where many
persons are homeless. No reports Of
