M, Parry is a Speaker at Ohautanqua Con ‘erenca. MOB SPIRIT IN ORGANIZED LABOR Pr dent of the National Associa- of Manufacturers Re Another Paper on the Line of Former Oues, CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y, Aug. 13-D. M. Parry, president of the National Assocl- ation of Manufacturers, today delivered one of the most Important addresses be- fore the conferemce on the ‘‘Mob Spirit in America.” Mr. Parry spoke on “Mob spirit in Organized Labor.” He said In part: . In this country In the last year there have been many mobs of different kinds, but to my mind the most dangerous of them {l e mob of organized labog. No m take it, can object to an ind of an assoclation, which is organized for law- ful and beneficent purposes, but organized labor, as it is conducted today, stands convisted by its own leaders as o, lawless organization. Rails Againat the Laws. In that it sesks by physical force to override Individual rights ana its con- tinually raling against the laws and denounging courts ana pubilc officials for entorciffy these laws, it fulfilis all the requirements of the definition of moboo- racy. Unlike the lynching and the vigilance committees it 1s what might be termed & standing mob, ~under fair discipline by its officers, and ready upon jon to commit the overt ac of oute rage and destruction which are the out- ward manifestation of the mob spirit. It res, in effect, that its will s superior to 'customs, traditions, govern- ment regulations and even the constitution of the country. It asserts that the in- aividual hes 1o inherent rights that can- not be taken from him and that, there- fore, 1t has the right to say that no man shall work and that no industry shall run without its consent. Depends Upon Intimidation. In its attempt to compel a recognition of its pretensions to sovereignty it relies not on reason, but upon misrepresentation, intimidation and the bludgeon. In its ocon- tinual preachments against law and i constant appeal to the baser passions of men, it is doing more than any other ageicy to inculcate the mob spirit and to $ncourage the unfurling of the red flag of anarchy. The president of the Chicago Federation { Labor, recently declared in an interview: ‘“The president deals a death blow to organized labor when he declares that he cannot discriminate in its favor. It sounds fair on the face of it, but without dls- crimination we are just where we started. What we have been fl“h“lfi for is union labor to the exclusion of all other.” These are the words of a conversation among union laborers and the sentiment of the agitators the country over. To their mind it you deny the right their organization commit fllegal :Cfil. Og ’lY;o l‘):!mDfl‘D‘ to lonuh t. If rganized labor has only lawless purposes it ought to be crushed. Would Set up an Olignrchy. During’ the last year, the attempts to foreé men to give allegiance to strikes in their plans to set uip an oligarchy that will control industry, independent of the laws of the country, have resulted in mob con- ditions in many of the leading centers, Supremacy of law and order has sustained net only many sevore shocks, but the nation has also lost milllons of dollars by the organized idleness of thousands of men. This loss must fall heavier upon the man his daily wage than upon mething to fall back on. the workmen of this country were learning that in the millions of dollars in salaries they pay to tators, they are creating In return nothing but ceaseless trouble, enforoed idleness, and Joss of the comforts of life. They are also precic erty. volce the for the destruction of their most fon—that of industrial lib- . Thelr investments in mobocracy are mighty poor investments. Labor Riots Infrequent. Thomas L. Kidd, vice presldsnf of the American Federation of Labor, opgned the discussion, He asserted that the leaders in labor riots were usually recent converts to unfonism, flushed with the possession of power, Thousands of workingmen, he declared, bhave been embittered by the condittoms of thelr childhood and their experiences in later life with the eompany store and the other evidences of greed and power ar- rayed against them. Mr, Kidd insistod, however, that the percentage of riots in labor troubles Was small, saying that records of 25000 strikes in seven years show less than 1 per cent attended by riots. He did not believe Mr. Parry correctly represented the employers of the country. “The employment of detectives and agents who excite the men to violence,” said My, Kidd, "places much responsibllity on cer- tain employers.” The lawlessness of the few, he Insisted, should not obscure the ®ood citizenship of the majority of the trade unionists, “The employer clalms the right to conduct his own business,” he continued, “‘and the union Insists on the right to pass judgment on conditions under which the work was done. The bribe-taking unionist is no more gullty than the bribe-taking employer." The feeling between union and nonunion men was not surprising owing to the great benefits secured by the sacrifice of the few. WORLD-HERALD CASE MONDAY Application te Enjein Ofty Oficlals in Printing Matter Comes Up Next Week. The case of The World-Herald against The City of Omaha is now set for hearing Monday afterncon before Judge Read, the stipulation between the attorneys for th ‘World Publishing company and the attor- neys for the mayor and members of the city council having been set aside upon the ap- plication of the city attorney, Upon application the Bee Publishing com- pany was permitted to file petition as inter- venor. This petition sets up the allegations that the Bee Publishing company Is, the publisher of The Omaha Evenink Bee, which 1s a newspaper having been published in Omaha for more than thirty-two years and having & bona fide circulation in the city of Omaha of more than 7,000 subserib- erd; that the intervenor and plaintiff sub- mitted Dbids. for publishing officlal notices and thut The Bee, by reason of its wider columns, they being at least one-twenty- sixth wider than those of the Evening World-Herald, submitted the lowest and best bid, and that the Eventng World-Her- ald does not have the necessary 5,000 sub- scribers n the city; that the city council in deciding to award the contract to The Evening Bee was acting only in its legal capacity. For these reasons, and for the turther reason that the petition of the plaintif does not state a cause of action, the intervenor usks that the petition be dismissed and the temporary restraining order be dissolved. Judie Read set the case for hearing Mon- day at 2 p. m. and ordered the World Pub- ifshing company to place its showing on file on or before August 14, the defendants to have thelr showing on file by 10 o'clock, August 17, Londen Brokers Fall LONDON, Aug.

NEIL IS BEST BANTAMWEIGHT Kaeeks Out Harry Forbes in econd SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 13.—Frankle Neil of 8an Franclsco won the hantam- weight championship of the world tonight when he landed a left swing in the pit of Harry Forbes' stomach in the second round of o ‘scheduled twenty-round fight. Forbes, by virtue of holding the cham; fonsnip, was a2 to 1 favorite In the betting, but’ Neil had mln‘ local supporters. In the first round no effective blows were anded.

The convention then, in accordance with a resolution adopted yes- terday, listened to an addross by Frederick Driscoll, chalrman of the Publishers' as- soclation, relative to the strikes in the state of Washington. He disclaifned re- sponsibility for the printing of the pub- lishers' circular without a label, and then proceeded to read a formal statement, which was a sharp oriticiem of the union and of President Lynch, Peace Under Arbitration Plan. Mr. Driscoll said that continuous indus- trial peace had been enjoyed for more than two years under the plan of arbitra- tion adopted by the association and the union, and until the occurrence of the two strikes at Spokane and Seattle, which he characterized as ‘“inexcusable,” contend- ing that the reasons put forth to justify these strikes are untenable. He sald that 4f arbitration had been adhered to ac- cording to the obligations of our agree- ment there would have been no strike or dlsturbance of our friendly relations.” Continuing, he said: The national board of arbitration should have been organized as provided in_the contract, in each of the too cases. That board, if it had found prior irregularitities for even frauds; If publishers or unions kad asked for consideration of subjects not allowed in the contract. to take and POSEY a necessary power to annull and wipe out all previous procecdings and gin anew from the inception of the jues ralsed and give an award which e uh{ be accepted by all parties in in- eres Not a Pleasant Duty, He sald his was not a pleasant duty to criticise the president and executive council of the union, and added: But as a friend of your organization, as a representative of our assuc.ation, as a man and a citizen, I am obliged to enter my protest against these gross violations of our arbitration contract. Referring to the two cases at issue, and stating his contentions respecting them, Mr. Driscoll sald the existing agreemont should be respected and the publishers at Spokane and Seattle restored to ths statu guo existing before the strike, and that they shoild proceed under the terms of the existing contract to arbitrate and finally settle the differences. He closed with an appeal to the union to do what he regarded as its duty. Driscoll's Specch Applauded. Mr. Driscoll's speech was received with applause and the chair announced that. it would be.referred to the committee on ar- Ditration, He added that whon the com- mittee reports he would make a statement in ‘which he hoped to be able to show that the merits.of the Washington. controversy are not all on one slde. “The convention then Ifsténed to an-ad- dress by Martin P. Higgins, president of the International Printing Pressmen ond Assistants’ union. Mr. Higgins sald that he had been at one time a member of the Typographical union and, referring to Mr. Driscoll's address, sald he knew when all the faots were brought out it would be a question as to who had broken the contract in connection with the Washington strike. An address also was made by Collis P. Lovelace, president of the Boot and Lhoe ‘Workers' union. He thanked the union for its uniform support of his own organiza- tion. The convention was also addrassed by Mr. Campbell of thé textile workers of Philadelphia, who asked an expression in support of their demand for a reduction of working hours.
