LABOR SHOULD HELP CONTROL, SAYS DANIELS (Continued From Fas* One.) the duty of government to men whose industry does so much to develop the resources of the republic and increase the comforts of mankind. “The demand for a living wage seemed a long step In advance when the pay envelope did not afford enough return to give adequate sustenance. No longer do we talk in the kindergarten of "a living wage.” “That belongs to the tadpole days of the development of the jnst rights of men of muscle and thought. We talk of just compensation, a reasonable share of the profits. “Every man who does a full day’s work, bringing the best that is in him to the task in hand, is entitled to a living wage and then some. And the ‘then some’ is to be measured, not by the competition of workers, so as to recognize the right of men to enjoy their share of happiness as well as ‘life’ and liberty as defined in the constitution. “What is the fair share of capital, of management, of direction, of skill, of labor is the big question that is up for solution in this free country. It can not be settled alone by the man who pays the wage or the man who receives the wage. “As long as human nature is unchanged the average employer will wish to pay as little as possible and the man who receives the wage will be satisfied with nothing less than the largest possible. Progress is being made, sometimes it seems very slow to come, in coming nearer to an equitable adjustment.” The better appreciation of the rights of labor and capital is one of the compensations of the tragedy of the war, Mr. Daniels said. / WASHINGTON IS PRAISED “To what can we trace this improvement which only foreshadows the larger application of the juster relation of labor's share of the profits? “Frankly let me say to the government at Washington is due the chief credit.

Suddenly it became the largest employer of labor and In a large sense dictated the price to be paid in nearly all plants making war material. “The railroads and all other transportation came under government regulation, and the pay of men long too low was adjusted In the desire to give more adequate compensation for the men upon whose fidelity and ability depended war efficiency. “The railroads have gone back to private ownership, but wages have in a large measure kept pace with the changed conditions, approaching nearer just compensation than ever before. “In the ship-bullding Industry the navy has always led In fair pay to good men, and its standards have been followed by private establishments. In a large sense this has been true in other industries. “The government at Washington established an eight-hour day, and the day Is not far distant when no Industry -will require more than eight hours’ work in any one day. “Experience has proved that capable and industrious men, who are steadily employed In work where machines are used, will turn out as much product in eight hours as in longer time. “It is better for the factory and the employe to secure quantity of production in steady work of eight .hours than to have longer hours with less production per hour. NO LONGER A COMMODITY. “The crowning achievement of labor secured in recent years may be summed up in one sentence of eleven words: “ ‘Labor hat been lifted out of the classification of a commodity.’ “That may sound commonplace, but it has the thrill of victory and achievement to those who for many years fought in vain to have labor treated as something higher and worthier of better consideration than a commodity to be sold at auction as things are bargained for or as slaves were put up for sale In ancient days. “The law gives labor its place, and in America, though flouted for a time, law finally rules supreme. Gabor owes its higher state to the recognition of the makers and executors of law. “Its future depends upon its devotion to law and order, and its wise participation in chopping the men and women (for we are to have women take their

equal part) who make and execute the laws. “Unjust laws should be repealed by earnest agitation and wise voting, and public officials who belong to the preAdnmite ago (some men in public life still dwell in that twilight period) should be returned to the shades of private life for the gcod of their country.” Charles Fox, ex-president of the Indiana State Federation of Labor, and T. J. Conboy of Alexandria, an organizer for the American Federation cf Labor, also spoke. With local union officials at their head, Indianapolis organized labor began the celebration of Labor day with a parade 15,000 strong through the principal downtown streets preceding the Tomlinson hall meeting. The parade was directed by Grand Marshal William Holmes, assisted by W. IV. McClain, C. G. McCalllster, Wayne Williams and C. J. Hoffman. More than 100 organizations participated. The line of march was as follows: Parade forms In Meridian street and St. Clair, marching south in Meridian street to Circle, right In Circle to Washington street, west on Washington street to Senate avenue, countermarching on Washington street to Alabama street, north on Alabama street to Market, and west on Market street to Tomlinson hall. Ten bands enlivened the procession, which required three-quarters of an hour to pass Meridian and Washington streets. Street car and automobile traffic was routed out of the central downtown district during this period. Several groups of marchers added color to the spectacle, wearing their work clothes, outstanding among' these being: Union No. 194, Motion Picture Machine Operators, in white trousers and shirts, black ties and hats; Local Union No. 18, Bakery and Confectionery Workers, with leaders carrying a five-foot loaf of bread and members clad in white shirts, trousers and caps and black ties and wearing red carnations; several locals of the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen in blaok pants and raps, light blue shirts with white ties; Loral Union No. 532, Cement Finishers, in white trousers bine shirts, white ties and black caps; Paper Hangers’ local No. 1912, led by their own Jazz band on a ladder, and the women members of the garment workers’ local riding in automobiles and carrying hundreds of
