Rome, when a tribunal was appointed and given power to say ‘I forbid.” Now cap- ital uses it. It was originally a means of protection for us. Now it has been turned and twisted so that it is used for our undoing. Some time ago bankers in- vested large sums in West Virginia mines. Money was needed to operate them and So was labor. When they realized that without labor they could not operate the mines with profit they went to the United States courts and on the plea that labor was doing them an irreparable Injury ured an injunction restraining the men whom they employed from trying to per- suade a fellow workman that he should not continue in their employ. “‘These bankers did not invest their money and take the mines as security They invested it in you. They lent their money on the brawn and musgle of the men whose labor was necessary”to them in order that they might profif by their | investment.” WARNED AGAINST CONTRACTS. Furuseth warned his fellow-laborers about making contracts with employers and also referred to the danger o this coast caused by the threatened influx of riental iabor.

You have the remedy for all this in your own hands.” Father Yorke, in bringing his speech | to a close, spoke of the Chinese labor | question and called upon the audience to see to it that the pioneers of California were not compelled to leave their happy hemes in this, the grandest of States, be- cause of cheap labor.

Men of Brawn Out in Big Numbers. ANSAS CITY, Mo. Sept. L —Ten thousand union work- men from the various trades of both Kansas Cit- les paraded the downtown streets here this forenoon. The parade ended at Elec- tric Park, where nearly 20,000 persons lis~ tened to the speech making. The prin- cipal address was delivered by ' United States Senator Charles W. Falrbanks of Indiana. He said: “Labor organizations have their origin in the instinct of self-preservation, of mutual advancement, of common good, and are as natural and as legitimate as the organization of capital. The one is essentially the complement of the other. That labor organizations have done much to advance the cause of labor there can be no doubt. “The_true solution of the questions arising between labor and capital lies in an awakened public conscience; in a thorough inculcation of principles of fair dealing among men; in organization, in wise, humane leadership and in the es- tablishment of boards of ¢onciliation and arbitration which are absolutely free from the polluting touch of seifish inter- ests or political demagogues to which the interests concerned may freely and oy -confidently appeal. “There is a potency in the public con- science which s stronger than constit tions, statutes or judicial decrees. With its approval, no strike can fail; without it, none can succeed. To its omnipotent flat all must ultimately yield.” AGAINST CHILD LABOR. Senator Fairbanks spoke strongly against child labor, and continuing said: “The Chinese were, until comparative- 1y recently, permitted to enter freely the field of labor. The Chinese have no ways in common with us. They are not of our religion. They can never become blend- ed into our excellent citizenship. Ac ing upon the principle that our supreme duty is to our countrymen, we closed our doors against the further admission of Chinese laborers. There were those who believed their admission wise; that there- by we would obtain abundant and cheap labor, but those who so reasoned rea- soned against our ultimate best interests. “Cheap labor is not the sole end we seek in the United States. It is our pride that this is not a cheap labor country: that labor is better paid here than in any other country. There should exist be- tween labor dnd capital no sentiment of hostility, and there will exist none if the American spirit of fair play prevails. “For the time being public questions which divide parties do not claim our attention. Yet it is proper that we should take note of our country and its pro- gress. Our nation has become one of the most puissant upon the face of the earth. Our flag stands for more than ever in all its splendid history. .There are more people than ever who love, and who, if need be, would die for it. We must cul- tivate for it a wholesome respect. —Be- neath it labor enjoys greater opportuni- tles and is more blessed than under any. other flag upon the face of the globe. It protects labor and labor Dprotects it. Whenever it has been in peril the strong arm of labor has been extended in its de- fense. Let us devoutly hope that wars may not again disturb our national tran- quillity, for labor's victories are won in the ways of peace.” MANY MEN PARADE.
