needed at once. The mass meeting at
the Garden will be one of the largest
labor demonstrations Of its sort that
the city has ever seen. Every man in
the city will be asked to pledge Its

tions from individuals will be solicited.

the theory that underlies this whole
situation.
Naturally these workers had to rely
for their bargaining with the smart law
yers employed by the bosses upon a
smart man. Is it unfair then that the
employers, who have the funds to en-
ploy slslful counsel, should be faced by
clever men selected by his employees?
The employers at the labor conference
declared that they could not bargain
with any one who was not one OF their
employee That would be quite all right
IL all employers were fair and square.
But all the trickery and all the evil in
the world is not to be found in the
laboring classes"
The apparently overwhelming victory
Of the British Labor party was hailed
with great delight by labor leaders here.

eral prominent labor leaders were asked
what their followers thought OF the Penn

mendation for a State wide general strike

tives. None would predict a duplication
of such action by union labor in this
State. but all declared that the vote Of

told the defunct Capital and Labor con-
ferees that the labor representatives at
that meeting could no longer participate
because capital refused to concede to
labor the privilege of organization that
capital has always taken advantage of.
he voiced the sentiments of 90 per cent.
Of all working men in this country.
THE Government is making a vast
mistake in seeking to prohibit men from
striking. If the Governments injunction
proceedings had sufficed to strangle the
coal strike there would have been more
rioting than will occur during the strike.
Labor unrest is going to thrive on or
ganized opposition.
Small Wage Farmers Restless.
The end is not in sight. Before this
is over there will be an organization of
clerks. writer's and semi-professional
men under way. And in the long run
there will be very definite alignment
of all wage and small salary earners.

thing is coming to pass, and soon. If

Superseding Indictment Re-

L,quor dealers and other persons hav-

almost cheerful yesterday when a rumor
winged over from Washington in effect
that the President has assured the
French Government that he would do
everything possible" to lift the wartime
ban. According to this interesting and
widely accepted story France asked the
President what could be expected IN
connection with her champagne trade,
remarking at the same time that vast
stores of champagne have been piling
up in the cellars of Epernay and Rheims
awaiting shipment to America. 1t was

rumor runs. that the President stated
he would do what he could,

created a stir down town yesterday.
While several bankers were inclined to
think that the sum of the liabilities
mentioned, $4,000. 900. was too big,
their notion being that the banks haven't
loaned out more than half that sum,
they agreed nevertheless that assurance
had been given by some one in large au-
