United States Steel corporation, de-
clared here today in opening the an,
nual meeting of the American Iron
and Steel institute. y =
Mr.. Gary said the question Of whether
it will be Observation-Disclosures or not
the disease Of "unjustified unrest and
revolt will progress-depends upon
the conduct and efforts of the ships
sailors, who>are all the people.
Employers, employees and the gem.

The next president of the United
States, the captain of the ship Of

wise and we'll informed. unauestion-
~, cminently fair and impartial, frank
and sincere. broad minded deeply
sympathetic, courageous. sturdy and
we'll balanced and above everything
else. loyal to the constitutions and the
law OF the land"
Causes Riots.
The present so called labor strikes
involving riot and injury to property
and person, are instigated as part
of the campaign to disturb and de-
moralize the social and economic con-
ditions Of the country" said Mr.. Gary.
In other lands very serious results
have been accomplished by the same
means which have boon employed
here"
Mr., Gary deprecated class legisla-
ton.
In, America, he said, those who are
seeking to establish classes and obtain
discriminating favors are not promi-
nent because of wealth, but are COM
posed Of a comparatively small minor
ity Of d le population who have adopt
ed the word labor with the conceal :
ed design of forming class whic1,
they hope finally will attract a. majori-
ty OF the people and thus enable them
to obtain legislation which would nl-
timately destroy the constitution. "The
safe. efficacious and natural remedy
for the perils which have been hinted
at are to be found only in unity Of
purpose and effort ON the part Of the
whole crew on board our ship of state,
sn undivided loyalty to the principles
OF our constitution and all the laws
which are paseediip conformity to it. y
Without dispute, any person has
hissor her$place, rights and privileg-

cludee those which are personal, pri-
vate and exclusive. -

Not Real IAborers.
"Asitators who are trying to create
trouble between employees and their
employers as rule are insincere and
! selfish. Generally they, themselves.
have performed no hard labor, nor
had experience which qualities them
to lead or instruct They strive for
personal popularity and gain. Their
business is better, their compensation
| increased, when others are in trouble.
Assuming to be sympathetic and su :
perior in intelligence they mislead and
often misrepresent. They promise re
FORMS bNt their methods lead to strou-
BILE and loss to others. In this list are
included q few writer's, lecturers, pub

The great masses Of employees, il
left to decide for themselves, are loyal
to. the country, to the public interest
and to their employers: and to the ex-
tent Of this loyalty they will be re-
warded up to the full measure Of their
! deserts. This they will have the right
, to demand. and it will be readily and
cheerfully accorded. This also should,
and they will continuously exercise 4
disposition to conciliate and cooper
ate. AS applied to all groups, faithful
performance and this only will insure
highest pecuniary results and most
liberal treatment ~-.t5.
