Thia applies In varying degrees to sellers of producta and also to members of different trades. I am not Inclined to deal in personalities.

I also believe it would bo unjust to further reduce wage rates , before the costs of living are lower. , not, of course, Including the excep-' tion.il cases already mentioned j where the rates are cxtortionite, as , in many of the trades particularly. ,

GOMPERS RAPS JUDGE;

"BLOW AT U. S. LABOR

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. The injunction against miners union activities in West Virginia, issued by Federal Judge Anderson ye-sterday at Indianapolis', was the subject of a statement Tuesday by Oompers of the American Federation of Labor. "Judicial action. of Judge Andersen and others like him are making It Impossible for us t have a law-abiding, patriotic and rational labor organization of American citizens. "Mrs. Gompers asserted. "They take the possibility for progress out ef the hands of a rational labor movement. Mr. G-ompers was aked If the "check off system -of collecting miners' union dued also forbidden by the Indianapolis injunction was included in his d-fer.?e activities. "It has existed more than twenty years by mutual arrangement, he replied." and I cannot se? why a Judge interferes tod iy. The decision i all part and parcel of the attempt to repress and subdue labor itt.it if prevalent now, of the 'cke.i .shop' i'.':np.iUn. and for that Judge AntVrson is a leader, and no: an impartial Judicial officer."

scale. Today was beautiful. The parade was probably the greatest demonstration of Ita kind the Eegion will ever have, as It brought together again the great leaders of the war and approximately 40,000 veterans who streamed by several hundred thousand spectators. Old Spirit Is There. Men in civilian clothes marched Shoulder to ehoulder with those who had again donned their uniforms. The old spirit of discipline and training was evident througnout the parade as the veterans strode along in platoon formation and snipped salutes to the reviewing officers. The allied leaders rode at the head of the procession until the reviewing stand was reached. There, taklns places allotted them, they found a distinguished company. Including Vice Pres't Coolldge, ana the governors of several states. Marshal Foch and Gen. Pershing

daily wage was advanced from J.l to $10 or $12 at one time under this practice. You know of hundreds of c.es illustrating what has been said and it would be useless to further specify. Workers Arc Fair. The vast majority of bujdne men and workmen are sincere and fair, but there Is and perhaps always will be a minority that ignore the principles of common honesty. They are sufficient in number to seriously affect the whole situation. Until these are aroused to the necessity of getting in line with ound and decent standards of conduct, the full return to satisfactory business conditions will be more or less Impeded. All that I have said during or since the war concerning a return to great prosperity in this country has been predicated on business being managed In accordance with the principles of reason, fairness and honesty.

The state delegations moved rast in alphabetical order and almost three hours elapsed from the time the Alabama contingent swung pas until the la.st man of the Washington state posts had received the salutes of his former commanders.

unfavorable, are. made which are not Justified. The reader or listener should be eure of the truth before reaching a conclusion. The fairminded man. if he has any facts, will disclose them upon request. Occasionally a writer, through Inexperience or lack of knowledge or otherwise, will misrepresent -or misinterpret. Every one of us has beer; subjected to a convincing argument against the validity or soundnets of attributed statements which we never made. It is quite common to build a straw-man In order to give evidence of strength in destroying him. But this should never disturb our equanimity. We must admit we aro sometimes wrong when we think we are right. Now what, if anything, can be done to Improve the general situation? I answer the first thing for instance, throughout the world, is the observance and enforcement of law. night is night.

Ther Is no standard for safe and certain progress In economic effort except an established rule of law which' ftxea and protects the rights of every one without discrimination. There are degrees of virtue and offense; but riffht ht right, and wror.g is wrong. Wronj: cannot properly be compromised nor fostered; and so long as a law is in ex!?tence it must furnish the rule for conduct. Recently we have read of convictions for violations of the criminal law by certain business men. They had controlled selling prices and limited production to the injury of

consumers. I am not familiar with

the facts and do not know whether or not moral turpitude was charged. The men Pleaded guilty, and, of

course, deserved punishment. And nearly every day for months Continued HipH Prices Are wo have read of strikers violently

Headed l or Wealth. If we may rely upon the statements by economic and statistical experts, the country is now headed in the right direction, and if this bo true, as I believe, then our progress toward recovery, though slow at present, will increase as the days go by. The ?teel business on the whole is a little better this month than it was last month. General business throughout the United States has been slowly improving. It is verygood in pome of the western state?. I am not at all discouraged. There is an abundance of new business, with both ability and inclination to place it. waiting for further adjustments which will put costs of living, selling prices, wage rates and other general Incomes on a relative parity. As usual, many will wait too long. There Is nothing the matter with the country: it is with the individuals. Patience, courage and a fair disposition will bring satisfactory conditions in due time.
