There should not be any aptago-

Widespread establishment of the

maintenance of the Industrial eqni-
librium of the nation according to
James A. Emery. general counsel
for the National Industrial Council
Of New York and formerly attorney
for the National Manufacturers As
sociatfon, who Wednesday night ad-
dressed the weekly forum meeting
of the City Club at the clubhouse.
Farraguet square.
Mr.. Emery denounced the closed
shop as an employment monopoly
and a medium for economic. perse-
cution by labor unions of nom
union workers.
Capital and Progress.
The material and moral progress
of society is directly proportionate
to the capacity of a people to in
crease their productive power" said
Mr.. Emery. The progress Of man
kind in all fields Of endeavor-sci-
ence, literature, art, learning and
education-is, dependent upon the
accumulation of surplus wealth,
otherwise known as capital. Cap
ital Is a much abused word these
days, but it should not be, for 1t
merely represents accumulated
labor. Capital is essential to the
nation. for we can't expand our So
cial life without It.
Some people think that too much
is said these days about property
rights, as though the rights of
property are made superior to the
rights of men. As matter of fact,
there Is no such thing as a property
right; it is rather a right of men
to property. =,
Inherent Rights.
Along with the right of property
Is the right of contract, a funda-
mental liberty. Workers and en-
ployers alike have the right to con-
tract as to terms of employment.
Another well-established right is
that of association. 1t means that
