DENVER, Colo. June 13.-The trade
union movement in America ''has success
fully defended its position against the or
ganized effort of anti-uniOn employers,
the executive council of the American
federation of labor declares in its annual
report submitted today to the federation
convention here. 1t adds that the out
look is for continuance of not only sue
cessful defense, but steady and consistent
progress"
1T is true" says the report, that the
organized employers are still making
strenuous efforts to destroy trade union
ism and that in many directions the cam
paign to reduce wages continues. W hat
is equally true is. that these movements
continue with constantly decreasing vigor
and effect and that their momentum of
three months ago has been dissipated.
There is need for the utmost vigilance
and labor cannot relax in any single effort,
but must. on the contrary, continue its
struggle with all possible energy. intclli-
gence and solidarity. 1t may, however.
find satisfaction and cause fer congratu-
lation in the fact that the employers,
united as never before, aggressive as
never before and financed as never be-
fore, have failed so signally and so com
pletely in the purpose they sought to ac-
cOmplish.'
The councils report covers a wide
range of subjects and includes nearly a
score of specific recommendations. Among
them are:

squat on our naked launches and
gnaw raw bones, but this companion
of the childhood of the race. this vest
lglal remnant of juventus mundi, this
dismal anachronism, this veteran in
harmony of the scheme of things. the
dog, has abated no jot nor title of his
unthlnkable observation-disclosures since
the morning stars sang together and
he had sat up all night to debate
lung at the performance. Possibly he
may sometime be improved otherwise
than by placement, but at present he
is still in that early state of reform
that is not incompatible with a mouth
full of reformer.
The dog is a detestable quadruped.
He knows more ways to be unmen-
tionable than can be suppressed in
seven languages. The word ''dog'' is
a term of contempt the world over.
Poets have sung and prosaists have
prosed of. the virtues of individual
dogs, but nobody has had the hardi-
hood to eulogize the species. No
man loves the dog; he loves his own
dog or dogs, and there he stops; the
force of perverted affection can no
further go. He loves his own dog
partly because that thrifty creature,
ever cadging when not marauding,
tickles his vanity by fawning upon
him as the visible source of steaks and
bones, and partly because the grace
less beast insults everybody else,
harming as many as he dares.

Prices of Meat Animals Lowest in
Ten Years
Prices of meat animals (hogs, cat
tie, sheep, and fowls) to producers of
the United States decreased per
cent from March Is to April Is, ac-
cording to a report isued by the Blu
reau of Crop Estimates, United States
Department of Agriculture. In the
last ten years prices paid for meat
animals have increased AS per cent
during the period from the middle of
March to the middle of April. The
report shows that on April 10 the
index figure of prices for meat ami
mails was about 37.9 per cent
lower than a year ago; and 1913
per cent lower than the aver
age of the last ten years on
April Is. The statisticians of the
department point out that the high.
prices paid for meat animals during
the last few years is the result of in
creased demand during and immed-
iateey following the war, and that
the present prices are approaching
those which maintained during nor
NAL times preceding the war.
