The list is limitless, and at your

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

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. When tho world was made the
land was put here, nnd from It nil
the development of tho ages has
sprung. To tho land tho people be
long, and to the people the land
should bo given,
"1 believe in radicalism. I am a
man who has been so radlcnl that i
could not get a Job In any or the
shops or Portland, nnd I do not wish

help,
"What 1 want Is nil the llixMty Hint
I can got, nnd tho way to got It Is
to help nil men to have liberty. I
am a man or no raco prejudice, anil

tho red man, nnd am one whom you
seldom meet.
