Tho large room was packed to the doors wjth people gathered to listen to the lng, Stevenson, who gave us the lo comotive, Howe, whoso genius marks that boon of women, the sewing ma chine, Bessemer, the father of this age of steel, and Edison, who has electrified it, aro proud products or care encompassed toll. Tho master mind or the old world today, the silent minister or the czar, who Is infusing the sentiment of In dependence Into the mysterious citi zenship of Russia, and who semes to sway the destinies of two continents Surgiua Dewltt, Is a German eml grant whose earlier years belonged to poverty, and whose young man hood was spent in the ranks of work ingmen. The list is limitless, and at your feet today. In recognition, should lie inn nomago of Christendom. This occasion honors not only la bor, but the principle of unity, the associating logemer lor mutual pro tection, that spirit which underlies nations, and which has Inspired man from the dawn of his intelll gence. The record of trades-unionism Is not long; perhaps two centuries, and during much of that tlmo Its In flu enee has been exerted In tho face of strenuous opposition, but it has coin pelted In England the extension of thu franchise to tho common people, so cured factory regulation and tho ribo litlon of commodity payment, whilo In America we owe to It tho national homestead act, the alien labor law, and the government eight-hour day, Under Its beneflclent Influence many of tho states have abolished sweat shops and child-labor, regulated ten emcnt houses, fixed definite pay days, limited hours of work, and In stituted public Inspection of rood and places or employment. That Is a magnificent record or hu manitarlan effort, and ought to com mend your movement to the consul erate approval of all as a concrete exemplification of the Golden Rulo and the new commandment of tho Master. "Thou shall love thy neigh bor as thyself." Unfortunately, the public has meas ured union labor by a false standard, for the adoption of which the unions themselves are largely to blame. There has been too persistently push ed to the front the appeal for Higher wages and shorter hours, both of which are but means to higher ends, to-wlt: self-improvement and the up litt of tho race. While the attainment of a universal eight-hour day and maximum wages are desirable, and will surely bo ulti mately reached. It must be remem bered thnt tho great mnjorlty of tho people belong In thu ranks of neither capital nor labor, as those terms are generally used, and It Is only by the sympathy and support or thts In do pendent class that the purposes or unionism can triumph, These men, who aro all directly or Indirectly nf focted by economic changes, aro na turally your friends, and must be made to understand thnt your creed Is not hostile to their Interests, that wages and time are but Incidents, and that the unions Inculcated disci pline, unity, sobriety, thrift, honesty, Industry, education, as the tenets ln fact or their faith, and that It is for the fuller exercise of these virtues that greater leisure and higher wages are sought. Insist upon fair hours and just wage, hut, by your conduct, compel thu world to measure your movement by Its loftier purposes nnd Its exalted achievements. Synopsis of Mr. Horan's Address. Following tho remnrks or Mr. i.mv ell, tho presiding officer Introduced William Horan, of Portland, who proved to be n speaker of great pow er and force. He said In part: "I want to make clear to the peo ple of tho city who aro gathered here the moaning of tho Inscription on tho banner that was carried nt the head of tho procession today. 'Labor Is tho Creator of Wealth." This Is n fact, for there Is no other way to get wealth. Labor Is the foundation of wealth, and land is the toundatlon or labor.
