SAN DIEGO. Sept. 2—At a meeting of the Ministerial Association a resolution was adopted and signed by all the pa tors present declaring that they will per- form the marriage ceremony for no di- vorced persons, except in the case of the nnocent parties to divorces granted on statutory grounds. The association is composed of all the Protestant ministers in San Diego. | enough DISTINGUISHED COLORADO BISHOP WILL BE AMONG THE DELEGATES Right Reverend John Franklin Spalding Wiil - Take Part in the Proceedings of the Forthcoming Episcopal Convention to Be Held in This City During the Month of October — TIO! DISTING®ISHED PRELATE WHO WILL HEAD THE COLORADO DELEGA- l N TO THE GREAT EPISCOPAL CONVENTION AND WHO IS EX- PECTED TO TAKE A PROMINENT PART IN THE PROCEEDINGS. ot NE of the most distinguished the- ologians who will take part in the forthcoming Episcopal Convention in this city next month is the Right Reverend John Franklin Spalding, D. D., LL.D., Bishop of Colo- rado, who, with his family, is expected to arrive in San Francisco about Septem- ber 1; Bishop Spalding is a graduate of Bow- doin College and a native of Maine. He studied at the Thelogical Seminary of New York, graduating in 1857. In 1862 he took charge of the important parish of St. Paul's, Erle, Pa., which he served as Continued From Page One. ABOR MEETS TO TELL ITS STOR rector until 1873, when he was consecrated Missionary Bishop of his present diocese. Dr. Spalding is one of the most learned prelates in the American Episcopate and is an authority on ancient, natural and ecclesiastical ceremonials. 'His adminis- tration has been fruitful. Besides a large increase in the number of parishes and churches he has founded schools and hos- pitals and conducted them wisely and suc- cessfully.

Y labor organizations on the success of the morning celebration. He said: I believe that we have established a record which will stand for many years to come. We } have established a record which is, 1 dare say, without its equal in any city of the United States. I am satisfied that this demonstration will do much to vindicate organized labor and to safeguard it in the future. This was an important occasion, and you have risen to it | worthily and well. ‘ | it is proper that we should understand just When “the what celebrating to-day did tolling masses parade the streets as they this morning it is proper that they shouid re- alize just why they do it, just what it means to them and the lesson it 1s intended to con Vey to others. This Labor day parade is a notification to whon ever it concerns that the rights of la- bor must be respected. and thet labor, when organized as we have it to-day, is strong to demand and if necessary enforce respect. Labor is everythine. Without labor we are | nothing. Labor is all that distinguishes man- | kind from the lower animals. cnly proper, I sav, that we should come to. gether and do honor to that great and digni- fled power. This power has so impressed itselt on the lemjslative bodies which rule our land that they have set aside this particular day for this purpose and have declared Labor day legal holiday. Sees Nothing but Victory Ahead. We are at present in the midst of a great struggle. It is not the intention of the pres. ent speaker, or of any other speaker here, to go ints the merits of the present controversy. We see nothing ahead of us but victory and vie- tory in the near future. We all feel that this demonstration. this outpouring of the labor- ing classes, will hasten that victory. I feel sure, my friends, that if we hold to- gether now we will in 1903 be able to break the | record of the Labor day of 1501. Turning out as we did _to-day is bound to add to our strength. It serves to apprise the hitherto unorganized bodles of laborers of our exist- ence and to demonstrate to them something of our numerical strength. The limit of the power of the labor union is the limit of the number of workingmen in - If all the labor in the United 8 were to organize and then select to stand as cne organization, there is no limit | to_what It could accomplish. We could do away with a great many of our present legislators. We could make our own | laws in our own union halls and in this way save the Government the expense of making | laws for us. s labor organization becomes more perfect ‘wea will find that strikes will become infrequent and the feeling between employer and employe more condial. Labor unions are the greatest educators the workingman has. Membership in a union is in itseif an education in economics, without a knowledge of which the workingman must re- main in a state of dense ignorance about his own condition. Organization makes better citizens of the men and women who come under 1ts influence. It is for the benefit of the employer as much for the employe, and if some of our San Francisco employers could see beyond their own noses it would be to their advantage. If they would look ahead _they man instead of tryjng to improve their own material condition by grinding down the lower strata. A Little Vaudeville Introduced The Berlin sisters introduced a change vocal selections. Will C. Carleton, baritone solo. After this bit of relaxation the strenu- ous work of the meeting was resumed. Andrew Furuseth, chairman of _ the executive commitfee of the City Front Federation, was introduced by the chair- man. He spoke in part as follows: You want to hear something from me about the present strike. 1 want to say to you that we are winning. We are winning every day. The strike is won. It has been proven. For in fifteen weeks the employers have been un- able to get men to take the places of the striking machinists. In six weeks they have been unable to replace the teamsters, sailors or longshoremen. They tell us that they will | Starve us out. Did you see that parade to- Did that look like starving out?

If you see a stranger talking yiolence, avold him as you would a snake. There are at present over 2,000 men out on strike, and yet, during the nast five weeks there has been less violence in the city than when, some time ago, the Gov- ernment gave 7000 soldlers a holiday. Six hun- ared mercenaries have been sworn into the Curtin service for the purpose of stirring up trouble. Says Strikers Are Being Goaded. 1f you want to know what to do, find out what the Employers’ Association wants you to do and then don’t do it. They want you to resort to violence. They are goading you on with our success. Tt'is therefore, | S0 that they may have an excuse for calling out the soldiers There is no ftelling how long this thing is going to last. It may be a week, it may be months. But I want to say to you that if you have any regard for your children, you'll stay with it. Six vears ago we were told, “'If you don’t march to-day, you'll march to-morrow."" We were promised good times. They came, but who got the benefit? They took away our political independence. They are now trying o take away our industrial independence. A few overgrown hucksters have mo right to in- terfere between us and our employers, I don't blame them, however. for they don't under- stand what trades unions stand for. If you follow my advice and hold out you may rest assured that the result will be an absolute, clean cut victory for labor. At the close of Andrew Furuseth's re- marks William McDonald sang a bass solo by way of diversion., and when the audlence, a large portion of which was standing up around the platform, had stretched itself and settled down to atten- tion again the chairman introduced James G. Maguire, the orator of the day. Judge Maguire referred to the present labor trouble only in a general way. He confined himself chiefly to the subject of organization and laid stress upon the necessity for the use of reason and com- mon sense as the solution of the disputes between labor and capital. He paid his respects to the men that had taken part in the street parade, congratulated them on the showing they made and particular- 1y on the order which prevalled through- out the march. He continued his remarks as follows: Speaks of the Benefits of Unions. I desire in advance to compliment and con- gratulate organized labor of San Francisco vpon its magnificent demonstration in honor of Labor day and in support of its principles. 1 never witnessed a finer or more imposing pa- rade of men. It was mighty in numbers -and mightier in the qualities of moral worth which it manifested. The good order. sobriety and earnestness which characterized the members of all the unions in line were the subject of general remark and cannot fail to have made a generally favorable impression upon the minds of the people of San Francisco. 1 shall not dwell upon the principles or pur- poses of your organization. They are better understood by you than by e, and your presi- dent has ably presented them for the edifica- tion of the general public. But as he stated in_introducing me, T have had occasion - and opporturity to watch the development of the Jabor organizations of San Francisco during the past twenty-five years, and it Is due to them that I hould say that during that period the condition of labor in San Francisco and throughout the world has been vastly im- proved through the influence of trade and la- bor unions; and my observation justifies me in saying that the improvement has not only benefited labor, but has promoted the inter- ests of employers generally by Inspiring labor- ers with a new sense of duty and responsibility as well as of dignity. And I fecl safe in say- ing that the moral tone of every community in which such organizations have been strong enough to exert a substantial influence in the labor field has been improved thereby during that period. The laborer has been raised above the demoralizing recreations and vices to which he then too generally addicted, and is now giving his time and thought to the earnest consideration of his rights, and to earn- est, self-sacrificing éffort for thefr attainment. No honest man of unperverted heart can look upon the conditions now prevailing in_ the in- . There are several ways of breaking a strike, Starving out, that has been tried in this case and falled; setting one faction against another, dustrial world and compare them with the con- ditions known to have existed before the in- fluence of trade and labor unions began to be felt in the betterment of conditions, with- out feeling that labor organizations have been a beneficence not alone to the laborer, but to our common civilization and to all who are within its pale. Marvels at the Little Violence. It 1s no answer to this to say or to show that the demands of organized labor have not always been just or that their methods have not always been best. They have made de- mands the justice of which I would not defend, and they have at times adopted methods whi were alike indefensible. Put in a state of ciy flization in which exact justice is nowhere at- tainable. in which omniscient wisdom fs un- known among men, the marvel is that there has been so little injustice In their demands and so little wrong in their methods. In the great impending struggle between cap- ital and labor, in which privation and suffering are nccessarily the lot of labor, and in which waste and loss s falling upon capital and upon the whole community, whose families are suffe ing present privation and facing the probability of absolute want in the near future, it is a mat- ter of congratulation deserving the complimen- tary notice of the entire community that so lit- tle of violence, of assaults upon life and proper- ty should occur and that the unions involved have been able so far to restrain the ever-pres- ent percentage of hot-headed and reckless men that must be among their membership from in- fractions of law and violations of order. This is fortunate for organized labor, for vioience on the part of Jabor in such a conflict is and ever has been the forerunner of absolute defeat. In such a conflict the man of vViolence is a weak man and is unconsclously the greatest enemy of his own cause. Law and order are the pri- mary conditions and essentials of liberty and progress. Some rights have been maintained through periods of turbulence, but no right has ever originated In such a period. This is an age of reason and reason Is the mightiest pro- moter of justice and the most potent weapon with which to fight injustice. Mute Appeal Better Than Rioting.

The enemies of labor know how to meet riot- ing and other forms of violent law breaking. As soon as the community shall become, as it is sure to become, sufficiently alarmed and sufficiently enraged the man on horseback is called into requisition and the hand on the dial of civilization is turned backward, But moral force is a power which the enemles of labdr cannot answer with bayonets, but only Wwith the Godlike force of reason, to which la- bor itself appeals. I have said that this is an age of reason, in which God has given to the intellect the’ ‘‘stewardship of man.” In this age reason is the key to every soclal prob- lem, and should be the only resort of intelli- gent men. Speaking of the conflict between capital and labor now paralyzing the industries of San Francisco, and without discussing its merits, I say that it has but one just and hon- orable solution, and that is an appeal by the | contending parties to the court of reason. I do not say th either side is wholly right in the conflict. To make such a claim would be to place finite mentality upon a pedestal with infinite wisdom. Nor do I say that either side wrong, but I do say that the side € to submit its case to the court of reason is substantially wrong. 1 trust that the pending strike may be thus disposed of upon lines of justice and reason, but whether it is or not—whoever may be the victor or victim in the strife—the dignity and the rights of labor must be maintained through organized effort until such change of economic conditions shall be produced by intelligent thought and the intelligent use of experience as will bring labor and capital into that harmony which shquld manifestly prevail among all who are so completely united in interest in the pro- duction of wealth. No Freedom of Contract. So long as organized labor stands for liberty, equality and justice—the principles symbolized by the flag of our country, borne so conspicu- ously in every hand to-day—as its ultimate end | and aim it should have and will have the sym- pathy of all real supporters of these principles, in spite of any seeming inconsistencies into which it may be forced in its unequal strug- gle against the powers of monopoly which now dominate our industrial system. The most effective charge made against the labor unfons is that their system interferes with the personal liberties and rights of in- dividual employers and employes and inter- feres with the freedom of contract which is an essential element of personal liberty. It must be conceded that the trades union system does interfere with the freedom of individual contracts, and to that extent it is violative of one of the great principles for which the unions stand as an ultimate; but that inter- ference is nominal only because under the present monopoly system of industry there is no such thing as freedom of contract on the part of laborers seeking employment. Free- dom of contract involves economic freedom on the part of the laborer—an alternative and op- portunity to reject the employment and sup- port himself by the independent application of his labor to the natural sources of subsistence. Laborers have mnot that alternative now, nor will they have it until monopoly ceases to maintain its control of industry. When that happy time shall come no man will more ear- nestly demand for labor its natural right of freedom of contract than I, but in that day labor will have no_difficulty in securing and maintalning that freedom. Until that time skall come it is idle to say that labor unfons interfere with freedom of contract on the part of the laborers, for if the labor unions were | obliterated laborers would have no such free- dom. Agency in Social Evolution. It is said that organizations of employers are now seeking and really expecting to accom- plish the immediate and permanent destruction of trades and labor unions. If this be so it 1z a grave mistake on the part of such em- ployers, from the standpoint of justice as well | as of expediency, and their hopes are, in my | opinfon—happily for themselves as well as for laber—doomed to disappointment. The labor organizations represent to-day the hopes and aspirations of the working men and women of the civilized world for a better and higher and purer and more equitable social and industrial system. That idea permeates the minds of the masses of the people who toil. It is the fer- mentation of a transition period in social evolu. | tio: ‘The people could not rid themselves of | it if they would, because the law of social evo- | lution is superior to man and is alike superior | to’the will of capitalists and of laborers, of employers and of employes.
