Now | want to confess to you, in

you the difficulties of the industrial
problems of today. l know that, for
some reason, we haven't worked out
these problems altogether success
fully in the past. | know that when
the introduction of machinery came
and when the principle of division
of labor was employed so that vast
aggregations of men and women
were employed in a single indus

have not altogether met
So, | am turning my face to the
future just as you are. / am look

you in finding the solution of these
questions. In the old days there
were no differences between en-
ployer and employees because both
sat at the same table and the en-
ployee looked forward to the day
when he should open his own shop
and be an employer of labor. Mod
ern conditions have obliterated that
state of affairs and that old simple
relationship between employer and
employee in which men were equal.
We have got to restore that rela-
tionshfp and we will work it out
in some way If we only remember
the sacrifices which have been made
in this war which has devasted the
world.
We can only justify those graves
which dot the landscape in France
and Belgium and Italy if we build
out of this peace that they have
won for us better world than we
have known in all the past.

SPEECH OF GOVERNOR LOWDEN TO
ILLINOIS FEDERATION OF LABOR

At the Convention of the Illinois
State Federation Of Labor, in
Bloomington, on December 4, 1918,
Governor Frank O. Lowden deliv-
cred an address in which he said:

Government severed diplomatic re-
lations with the German Empire

within our lifetime. | felt instinc-

crisis was upon our land. 1t SEEM

sand years would be lost if military
despotism won in that worldwide
strife. | therefore labored under
the greatest anxiety ! have ever

generally were unaware of the mag
nitude of the danger that faced us.
| wondered if it would be possible
to arouse them to the significance
of this mighty conflict. Conspicu-
Gus among the very first men | saw
who realized the perils ahead, who
saw that the gains humanity had
painfully made in the centuries
gone again were in the balance,
were the President and the Secre-
tary of the Illinois Federation of
Labor.

was when | heard these men, in
more vigorous language than ]
could command, point out the dang
ers ahead. From that moment | felt
easier about the position that Hi
nois would take in this great crisis.

plest gratitude if | did not make
public recognition of the great debt
which we of Illinois owe to the
sacrifices, the loyalty and the pa
triotism of this great organization.

ed speech AS your President has
told you, | appreciate the oppor-
tunity of coming here for a brief
while, of looking into your faces,
and of expressing to you my
| thoughts about some of the things
which seem pertinent at the pres
ent time.
Happily, because of the solidarity
of all our people, we have won a
great victory and democracy seems
safe; and if we, my friends, shall
only with wisdom keep our heads
during these trying years of recon
struction, [ am sure that all the
sacrifices we have made, that all
the treasure we have spent, will
not have been in vain, and that
humanity will date its greatest pro-
gress from the close of this war.
1t is not at all likely that We
shall agree upon all political ques-
tions. That would be more than
could be expected of human ma
ture. There are, however, some

"No, no; l don't recall that"

thority or with your knowIcdge?" ?"

Charges Against Herman
Mr.. Baldwin admitted that on three
different occasions he had charges
made against employees under him,
including Herman, but that he did not
think any of them of such nnture as
to warrant removal.
Herman, it was brought out, was ac-
cused of having received 81 500 from a
group of window cleaning establish
mcnts. Herman, he explained, told
him that he obtained this money for
work done outside Of Office hours and
that that satisfied him. This, he
FASTENED to explain, was a year ago.
when he had the utmost confidence in
Mr.. Herman.
"Was any record made Of the
charges?' %
"No record was made" answered Mr..
Baldwin. "Mr. Moses Frankel who
made the chargcs) withdrew them, and
asked me to consider that they ha ]
never been made"
The work Herman alleged he did
according to Mr.. Baldwin, was to help
the window cleaning establishments
organize a mutual workmen's compen-
sation insurance company Of their
own, and to place their insurance with
the Travellers Insurance Co.
Did that sound pretty fishy to you
to pay money to get insurance in the
Travellers, when the Travellers would
have been willing to pay brokerage fol
getting the business ?"
"No, because he started at the time
to organize Il mutual company"
Mr. Baldwin was next asked if he die
not notice that Herman was unusually
we'll supplied with money. He said
he did not.
"Do you recall Herman going to
Atlantic City when there was that au-
tomobile accident in which Dr.. Will
Jams, the medical adviser Of the fund
was killed ?"
"Yes."
Did you not observe that the one
man of the group which went down
seemed to have money to meet not only
his own bills, but the bills of persons
injured was Mr.. Hermann"
"No, did not observe that"
Mr.. Baldwin sad that a boy named
Samuel Cavoli who charged that two
employees in the commission had forced
him to disgorge 5000 out of a 1000
lump sum settlement, later retracted
the charge in an affidavit sworn to be-

Charles A. Lsh, deputy inspector Of
the St. Louis immigration Office, said
he was not ready to announce the de-
tails Of the governments case against
Miss Goldman, but that he was CON
ident Of proving two points essential
to deportation, namely, that Miss Gold
man is an alien, and that she is an
anarchist, and therefore an undesr-
able alien. She is native OF Russia

Huntington Street, prepared for war
several days ago when he received a
threat that he would be killed if he did
not give up his job as strike breaker
at the Brooklyn Union Gas Works,
Second Avenue and Twelfth Street.
Accordingly when he was attacked
by a mob on leaving work last night,
he drew a pistol and opened fire. The
crowd scattered and Gore ran with the
mob at his heels. Twice he stopped
and fired over their heads and finally
ran into candy store.
The mob was throwing stones and
bottles through the shop windows
when Patrolman John Brady inter
vencd, entered the store and arrested
Gore. As the two emerged, some one
in the crowd threw a bottle which hit
the policeman. He was not seriously
injured At the Fifth Avenue police
station, it was said that two revolvers
were found on Gore.
