was working in our mechanical depart

arily well, but his evenings were vast
ed and his leisure spent without a
thought of getting along in life. Per-
haps my knowledge of his family led
me to friendly %admonition, and my APP
peal took root. He changed his en-
ployment and his habits and his asso-
%ciates, and three years later l was re-
joiced to see him experimenting a
great industry. A friendly word, at
no cost whatever, changed the current
OF a life to the broad sea of success.
To me the realization of neglected
opportunities, the waiting moment for
h%elpfulness which we have overlooked
because of their very simplicity. is the
sorrow of occasions like this. | speak

fellow man to attain them.
Our Responsibility.
More striking still is our unmind-
fitness of the influence of example.
There is scarcely a human being who
is not influencing some other devcl-
oping life. This knowledge adds
greatly to u responsibility, but it
equally reminds us of the waiting OPP
portunities of helpfulness.
The spoken word of human interest
will often work a miracle, and it costs
so little. l recall a striking incident
or two in my own experience. At one
time, years ago, there came to our
newspaper office a locally well-known
trench-digger, who had been a stall
wart of his type, but strong drink had
left him a seemingly hopeless derelict.
The fact that he called at u office
every week for a bundle of old papers
to read suggested a slumbering spark
of manhood, and one day | said, quite
sincerely, "Old man, why don't you cut
out the drink and be the man that

hdrlOn, OnlO. he gave lHe loiloWihS
memorial address, entitled, "Friend-
ship" at the Elks' national home at
Bedford, Va:
My Brother Elks, Ladies and Gentle
men: The greatest gift in Gods mas
ter bestowal upon man is memory. 1t
requires mind and surpasses all else.
It is the storehouse of everything in
life worth while. 1t fashions character
and inspires all hope. 1t takes all the
impressions of human existence and by
some alchemy of love removes the
dross and makes that golden cross of
faith which is the rosary to every hu-
man prayer.
One cannot imagine a life fit to live
without memory's revealments in
f%ellowships and friendships; without
love and attachments; without encour-
agements and endearments; without
inspiration and the consciousness OF
achievements.
We are met in memory today, in
grateful, fraternal memory, in behalf
of those who have taken the fork of
the road to eternal peace. Ours is not
a memorial of grief. Only happy MEM
cries are becoming to the departed,
only hopeful memories are worth while
to the living.
If the departed brethren could know
of vi memorial, if we could solve the
great mystery of mysteries and know
that they knew, we should still atone
u memorial above the murmurings OF
sorrow. For them the book of life is
closed. Sorrow has had its becoming
expressions, but normal, natural inter
est is in the living. Indeed, we are
met for the living, else this meeting
would be in vain. We are met to re-
mind ourselves that as we live so shall
our memories endure. We come to a
fresh consciousness today that in our
daily lives we are making memorials
and it is the privilege of every human
being to leave such a memory as would
like to have recalled.
Opportunity of Humble.
Such is the opportunity of the hum
blest one among us. In the Campo
Santo at Genoa is to be seen one of the
most notable collections Of memorials
in marble in all the world. Wealth and
art have been lavishly used in tribute.
Yet the most memorable of all monu-
ments there is to the poorest and hum
blest of those who are remembered
there. 1t is that of the old pretzel
woman.
The Campo Santo had a facination
for, her and in her daily rounds of
pretzel vending she visited the monu-
ments. She craved a memorial among
them and lived and saved to that one
end. Her ambition was as we'll known
as her figure was familiar. Her saw
ings were small, but c~onsecrated to n
purpose, and she so left the impress
that when her end came, to her pinched
sum generosity gladly and freely add
ed, and the humblest in all Genoa has
the most notable monument erected
there.
There is a distinction between abid-
ing memorials and hero worship. Great
achievement erects mighty monuments.

RESIST ALL WAGE REDUCTION WORKERS
 URGED BY GOMPERS
Conditions Cannot Be Worse Through Fight, Declares
 A. F. of L. Leader

Atlantic City, Sept. 2.-The spirit and organization of American work CTS are unbroken by the present busi- ness depression and they will continue to push forward and onward, Samuel GOmpcrs declared an an address Sun day before a conference of labor lead CTS. This was the first of series of similar conferences 10 be held throughout the United States with a view to bringing about ''complete unity and solidarity among the wage carncrs."
 Mr. Gompers, describing the effect of the periods of depression on labor, said that while the organized labor movement was partially checked, 1t was never driven back to the condi- ton existing before the depression.
 "This IS the first time in the his tory of the labor movement" he said, 'Whcrc the men of labor have been able, to such a tremendously large and important degree, to maintain the integrity and membership of the la Dor movement, and yet, never in the a concentrated drive on the part of employers, business and finance against the men and women of labor as has been conducted within the past year"
 Calling upon the workers to resist wage reduction, Mr. Gompers said: 'WhereVer a reduction in wages has been accepted by employees, it has been followed by another and then another.
 Let me say in all candor to you that we cannot in the present state Ot organization, or even at the high peak of organization, successfully re- sist every offer of reduction of wages, but 1t IS better to resist and lose or compromise than not to resist at all, because if you don't resist you en- courage the employer to the idea that you can't and won't resist"
 The executive council at a brief meeting Sunday forwarded a cable message to Premier Lloyd George urging him to continue the truce with the Irish republic until after the forthcoming conference at Washing ton, no matter what the outcome of the present peace negotiations with the Irish republican leaders.
 The premier was also told that American labor supported the Irish people in their fight for freedom, and had gone on record unanimously at the recent convention of the federal ton in favor of recognition of an Irish republic by the American gov Crnmcnt

Charge ''Doctoring''

British Workers Declare Figures Is sued By Ministry
 Incorrect

London, England, Sept. 2.-British workers charge that food prices, is sued by the British ministry of labor, are inaccurate.
 The governments figures are i'm portant as some employments have adopted the principle of sliding wage scales based on the cost of living.
 The workers appointed commit tee to investigate the government s figures, which allege that food costs increased I28 per cent. from July, 1914, to May, 1921. The workers committee consisted of representa- lives of the trade union movement, the parliamentary committee of the British Trade Union Congress, the labor party and the cooperative movement. The committees investi- gators found that food prices in creased I5o per cent. during the 1oI4- 1921 period.

AUSTRALIAN LABOR
 PARTY IS CAPTURED BY EXTREMIST WING
Melbourne Congress Commits Or ganized Worker to Social
 Commonwealth.

Sydney, Sept. 2.-Organized labor in Australia has had several weeks in which to digest the program adopted at the great tradc-uniOn congress in Melbourne, but there remain differ ences of opinion that refuse to be reconcied. That Congress was com plctely dominated by the extremists of the labor movement and the "Con- cert of action' adopted commits or ganized workers to a comprehensive undertaking that has for it's purpose the making over of the common wealth along social, economic and po- litical lines.
 Briefly, the program, divested of it's long preamble about the class strug- gle, speaks of the abolition of capital as the only remedy for that struggle; of social ownership by the whole community; of an organization per hitting all workers in any one indus try, or in all industries, taking con- Ccrted action where necessary to gain specific end.
 This organization, to be known as the Australian Workers Union, will aim at binding together in one solid phalanx all the wage earners in every industry. The union is to be classi- fled into departments, divisions, sub divisions, sections and mixed sections, six departments in all.
 Other resolutions approved the principle of self determination for Ireland; protested against any form of imperial federation; protested against a renewal of the Anglo-Jap- anese alliance, on the ground that it is purely military in purpose and con- tains the germ of warfare and affirm oI hot Great Britain and other countries and between Great Britain and the colon- ies the basis should be, not for mili- tary or naval purposes, but simply as one of the amenities of social, politi- cal and economic relationships.
 In it's anti-military policy the con- gross, viewing the Pacific as the like ly cockpit of the next great war, de cided to get in touch with labor or ganizations generally, and particularly with those bordering on the Pacific, for the purpose of "preventing future wars"
 It was mainly on the conscription issue during the war that many solid labor men broke away from the par ty, and although a resolution of con gross favoring class organization does not expressly state it, there is feel ing that, deep down, 1t will have an important bearing on the question of re-admitting the breakaway section, on the principle of forgive and for get, and thus solidifying in some measure it's disrupted ranks.
 In laying down basis for the es- tablishment of chain or labor dailies i'll Australia, the congress recognized the value of the written word in it's effort to realize it's program. These points. They are to be placed directly in competition with so-called "capi- talistiC" newspapers and will be as free as possible from doctrinairism.
