It follows: “The 1923 meeting of the Imperial ‘‘ouncil of the.Ancient Arabic Order Nobies of the Mystic Shrine will hel held in Washington during the frst; week of June next. It is certain t=at| this event will altract to this greater numbers of people than B asembled in the National Capi- | tal at any previous time.

San Francisco entertained a larger num- her of strangers during the week of the meeting there this year than it aver did before. Washington, for the reason stated before, and because of its location in the east., where it is easy of access to scores of Shrine temples with large memberships, may expect even more people to enter its gates during the first week of June than San Francisco received. They must be housed, fed. made comfort- able and entertained, so that they will depart only with pleasant mem- ories. “The officers of Almas Temple have no hesitancy in laying this matter before the whole people with the as- surance that among business men, all hotels and all the ranks of Wash- ington's population full ‘co-operation wiil be given In the work of bring- | ing the great event to a successful 1 (1 glorious conclusion as a civic between capital and labor.

Any listener would have come away im- pressed with the ominous note which was sounded and applauded. “New- berryism” was attacked also in an adroit manner and linked up with the other grievances of the workers. Disingenuousness, promises of re- forms that can never be fulfilled, are the mildest forms of vote-catching methods employed without scruple in this campaign.

As a re- sult, men worked harder, became more efcient and earned more money. Thereupon many employe cut down the piede rates so that by working at this extra speed the worker could [make only what formerly made at an easy gait. This only served to stimulate the trade union movement resuiting in the doc- trine. based on the natural law of self-defence, that a man must do just s0 much and no more in a day and should oppose every improvement in machinery. The worker learned his value as a contributing element to the prog- ress of industry and took his position. The soidier Jearned his value as a contributing element to the progress From that position there has been no retreat and there will be none, for on the whole they are average intelligent and determined men. Dur- ing the war they both had a common objective which was coincident with that of the business man. Since the signing of the armistice they atill have a common objective, but it is a new one, from which, sad to relate, too many business men turn blindly away. It demands nothing less than that in the future the natural desires and the welfare of the average man 3Shall and must be given just as much | consideration in all plans involving education. industry and government as is given to the welfare of the so- called well-to-do man. who too often lives in killing ignorance of the fund- | amental causes of the unrest of the masses. That this demand exists is too evident, to encourage a feeling of security and comfort. We hear much of the threat abroad of universal protest of labor in the form of universal strikes. It all has its effect on this country. The patched- up differences between capital and labor during the war amounted to nothing more than a truce. With the war over, the next big task is to con- clude a peace between capital and labor which will correct things that are fundamentally wrong. Téwnsend May Win. “In modern civilization revolutions. springing from great holdings of in- dustrial capital. may be expected to occur unless the inherent desire in every human being for ownership or partial proprietorship is satisfied. To fulfill this desire. to encourage hab- its of thrift which warrant the ful- fillment of this desire and to culti- vate all the virtues that accompany the development of & stronger, higher citizenship should be the purpose of every business man who possesses any progressive spirit at all.” Senator Townsend's campaign man- agers are confident as the campaign draws to a close that the senator has a chance for renomination. The re- | publican organization of the state is behind him, and that is counted upon } as a valuable asset. It is certaln that the anti-Townsend vote is to be widely distributed among the other candidates, leaving the possibility that the senator may have a plu- rality. Careful inquiry in well informed quarters here leads to the conclu- sfon that there is justification for the Townsend managers _entertaining | reasonable hopes for victory, barring some catastrophe between now and! primary day. CATHOLIC MEN TO MEET. ‘Wational Council to Hold Second Annual Session Here Soon. The second annual convention of the National Council of Catholic Men will be held September 328, 29 and| 30 here at the Knights of Columbus auditorium.

Of 1.428 firms usually employing more than 500 workers, or a total of 1.600,000, considered in the analysis, the August 31 reperts showed a de- crease of only 1,381 from the nwmn- ber of July 31, and this drop was attributed chiefty to the normal labor turnover. Chemieal Industry Beoms. Chemlcal and allied products led the industries which increased em- ployment last month, the report stated, while marked recovery wasl shown in stone, clay and glass pro- duction and steady increase in the number of workmen was revealed in the leather industry. Decreascs, attributed chiefly to the unsettled industrial situation, were re- ported in metal and metal products other than iron and steel, vehicles for land transportation. lumber, food and i kindred products, paper and printing, textiles, iron and steel. Many indus- tries, however, showed improvement de- spite the effect upon them of the fuel shortage. Denver Tops List. Denver was first among the cities re- porting _ increased employment, with New Orleans second because of the re- viving activity in textiles, food and sim- ilar industries.
