CAPITALIZATION Term De-

Excerpts from the American FEEDER
alton of Labor Weekly
News Letter.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2O.-While
the Presidents industrial conference
was discussing the relations of cap
ital and labor" President Gompers
struck this Fundamental note:
Capital consists Of tables-these
tables and these chairs, these chan
Gellers, boots, shoes, pork, hides and
cattle, machinery, wool, sugar, oil
anything that can be brought to your
mind relative to the very things that
| have encompassed in the term cap
itaP-dead things, inanimate things,
material things, things which can be
sold and bought, things which are
subject to barter and sale, capital
invested for the production for still
more capital, more inanimate things,
material things.
And what is labor? Labor is the
men and the women, enormously and
Intentionally coined in the terminol-
ogy of labor. 1t is laborers, workers,
human beings, men and women and
children, and when it comes to the
question of determining what is of
greater Importance as to men and
women and little children and dollars
and things, the soul of mankind goes
out to men and women and children,
rather than to capitalize regula-
ton of capital, the material things of
life and the regulation of men and
women and children.
''If the old concept of labor and
capital still prevailed in this year of
strife you would find children in the

Madison Square Garden tonight to

not confined to Russian affairs
American labor troubles and raids on
radical headquarters came in for
their share Of attention.
The meeting was arranged by the
Peoples Freedom union. The pres
ence of several hundred policemen
and detectives in tie audience was
noted by Dudley Field Malone, who
presided.
If the representatives Of the de
partment OF justice and the Lusk
committee are seated comfortably,
we will proceed, he said. Cheers
later greeted his assertion that with
all due regard to the process Of law
there is no court in The United stat
es which can compel the striking
coal miners to 20 back to work..
James Il. Maurer, presiden. Of the
Pennsylvania State Federation Of
Labor, was the chief speaker. lie
voiced d threat Of a general strike
in that state, declaring there is no
such thing as law and order in Penn

Prolonged cheers greeted a tele-
gram from representative William
Z. Mason, of Illinois, VINO, after ex-
pressing regret OF his absence, as

COLORED PEOPLE CALL ON
MAYOR.
Lincoln, Neb.-Oct.


\ committee from the Lincoln
branch of the National Association
.xpr the Advancement of Colored
People headed by President I. 3.
Smith, called upon Mayor Miller al
the city hall Friday morning to vo-
lunteer cooperation in all efforts to
prevent any possible trouble or race
feeling in Lincoln. Nebraska. as has
been common in other cities recently.
Mayor Miller thanked them for
their efforts and help and accepted
the offer of information about any
undesirable element of eolored people
that might begin move to Lincoln.
The committee reported that two
places in Lincoln We're Negro dives
and that they were loafing places for
the most undesirable element but
outside of careful supervision they
did not offer any suggestion as to the
handling of these places.
The colored people clam that there
is no appreciable influs of Negroes
from Omaha or from the Chicago riot
districts, but say that within the past
year many southern Negroes have
been imported from the south by rail
road companies and other labor EN-
ploying firms and that these have con
stituted the most troublesome lot that
Lincoln has had. The association has
been inviting these men to their sun
day meetings to explain the difference
in attitude and relation between the
two races in the north and south and
to warn them that they must not
mis- axe the greater liberties they
hav here for license.
I'VE do not want to justify any
crime" r. McWilliams, former Lin
coin high school student said. we
know that any crime by one of our
race is blamed to all of US. That is
natural and expected under present
conditions. We want to help in the
pseventon of those crimes and in
ferreting out the Negroes who do
those things and get the whole col
ored population into trouble"
The colored mems committee claims
that much unfair publicity has been
given race troubles in the north and
lay the blame for that at the door Of
the southern planter, who they say,
is short of Negro labor since the war
and who is anxious to have the col
ored men return to the south either
becauce they are forced out of the
north or because the south is their
natural home.

WIDE OPPORTUNITY FOR GOOD
OR ILL.

The larger the community, the OPP
portunity for good or ill in the dis
charge of their duties, by men who
held office, is increased proper
tionately. In great city like Chi
cago, there are ever increasing in
elements for good. There are also
numborless opportunities for i'll of

opposition to the will of the people
