Strongest PoIn In the Labor Struggle.
: My 5thI1'd observation In on the
strongest point. 111 the labor struggle.
1 ant mindful tonight. as are you. that
the local difficulty is but an incident
in the great .worid-wlde conflict. The
industrial struggle has been long, and
lit times bitter. and 'there is no pros-
pact of animmedlate perfect adjust-
ment. Those Who believe the predic-
tions of the Bible do not look for the
complete settlement of labor difficul-
ties, until all earth's troubles are set-
tied by the coming of the King.
Some of the battles, fought by labor
In the past have been‘ won, and some
have'beeu lost: "l‘hcre is n‘ lesson to be
learned. by an unbiased review of the
struggles, and it is this: Where labor
has been victorious it has invariably
been when her demands are just, and
she hits last When the struggle has
been provoked by Iaboz. or when the
demands made were unfair and power
ranted.
The justice of your cause then will
ever be the strongest polntthen In any
struggle.- The worker cannot afford to
forget this. it is not so much thatyou
haves. strong union, though. that ion
factor in success, It Is not altogether
that public sentiment is‘ In your favor.
though that helps, the one principal
thing ydu need to look out for is that
your cause ls just. if the worker
would continue to win victories, and
”r to improve his condition, let him take
care to have right on his side, to 1111- .
credly‘keep his agreement, to be. fair
in his dealing with his employer. and
not over-exacting in his demands.
By no means do I consider myself
qualified to settle the local difficulty;
many centuries ago by im whom we
shouldali serve. which, If heeded,
would end this struggle within twenty-
four hours. The principle is this, let
each put himself 111 the other's place.
Let the manufacturers put themselves
in the place of the workmen, and look
at this question from their standpoint:
and let the members of the trade put
themselves luthe place of the'manu-
facturer, and ask what they would do-
sire 111 such a case; If this were done.
a basis of settlement. would readily be
reached. Ah, marvelous are the possi-
bililies of the golden rule for peace-
making: “In all things, whatsoever ye
would that. men should do unto you. do
ye. even so unto them."
Reward of Labor.
.\1y 10111111 and last observation Is on
the reward of labor.
1 do not now mm to the stated sum
which you receive in four pay envel-
opes once a week: 1qu is your pay, but.
there is something of far greater
ward of labor. You know that your
work. and particularly the. spirit in
which you do It is helping to form your
character, and to determine your fu-
ture. For Instance. you are 1101 only
making huts. but the hats that you
make are in turn helping to make you.
A man's work Is incorporated in his
personality. and character.
And what makes this such a serious
and important thing is that having
made yourself, you must abide by the.
results. it“ some friend or fellow-
low worker. or member of your own
family becomes disagreeable. and hate-
ful. and mean, you can part company
with him; but you can never getaway
from yourself. '11' you build 11 despic-
able character, you alone ‘wlll suffer,
while if you build a beautiful one, that
which you have, by your daily work,
made yourself will be your reward.
‘At the best'. you will work here but
tlhrty. forty or fifty years. and then
your work will be done. As I muse
upon the“ t‘act of the end of an individ
ual lite. two attentions arise; the first
concerns what we leave behind us and
the second what awaits us. When the
last stroke of work Is doue, the hands
are folded in rest and the eves closed
in sleep will anything'rémain to show
for the life that we have lived? If we
5 but make two blades of grass grow
ivhere but one grew before, we have
done something: but to go into eter-
nity empty-handed would be unenduc
dole. One of .the truest rewards of
laborgls :todeave something behind us
-. when we are gone.
The second question has to do with
like ddture. When the time comes to
top Work. and we go to the Great
tor-workman with our life' s accom-
lishm‘entgwill it pass Inspection? This
f‘e'is' not all; when it Is finished there
domes another. and this life Is related
to that other. The great reward of
labor Is to live .so‘that in the'dny of
na‘l reckoning we may hear the words,
‘lwell done." ,

At first blush we were ready to take

Drnyton took 11 mournfui satisfaction
' in planning his vacation trip to cover
the route that was to lune been the
wedding journey
11 through the winler'he and Inca
ha planned the trip'uutil Sam Dray-
ton knew by heart the schedules of
trains and steamboat lines. it was in
be an afternoon wedding, and the first
stage of the trip was to be made by'
the night boat north. He and Inez.
had taken their vacation at the same
time the year before, and it was on
the same steamer that Sam had DH)" ‘
posed and had been accepted.
A. combination of long engagement,
Sam‘s quick temper and 1110/. u pride
had been the obstacles which had pre-
vented the course of true love from
running smoothly, and three weeks
ago. just three weeks below the Wed
ding, there- had come a misumleistnud-
lug of more than 0111111111 yscrlousness, .
and Inez had given back the ring and
declared that she. never wanted to see
him again.
Slim had pretended that this pulled
him exactly. but it was 11 shabby bit
of pretence, and the tiu'ee weeks had
been 11 time of torture to his spirit.
More than once he had sought to sur-
render. but his letters Were returned
unopened and he. could not gain speech
with Inez.
At the ofllce the vacation schedule
had been arranged to give 111111 the eu-
tlrc month of July. and it was toolatc
to exchange with any of the othci
clerks. so Sam determined that. he
would take his journey as he bud plan
ucd, even though he took it alone.
It. was on the subject of wedding
guests that. the break had come. The
house. was small and the number 01'
guests had to be limited. Sam had
wanted to invite the boys of the bowl-
ing club to which he belonged. and
111192 bud insisted upon the room being
saved for the girls of her class at high
school. Neither bud been willing to

was opened and 5111011 he sought the
spot on the upper deck where almost
at year ago he and luez and plighted
their froth. It was a sheltered nook
between a life boat and one of the
huge ventilating pipes.
80 vivid were his thoughts that
when u light step roused him and
Inez stood before him. he did not
think It strange that she should be
llicltl. ‘
“is it Icully you or is it your shadow

and advanced toward her. ‘I INIVI

cannot be certain."
"it Is no ghost." dcclurcll Inez. "l
-—--l wanted to see the old book where
we were so happy."
“liul how do you happen on the
hunt?" he asked wumlerlngly. 5
"I had to tulle. my vacation now or
not nil," explained 11107.. "I am going
lo the farm where \vc Spout lust suin-
nit-1'."
“I am going on the trip we had
planned." explained Sam. "You see. 1
had my heart set. on it and when they
told me that they could not change the
vacation schedule i decided to come
anyhow. it‘s going to be awfully lunc-

‘i suppose that it will be lonesome

have only yourself to blame. You
would not give In." I
“i like that!“ exclaimed Sam. "1

““1115 that what you wcic writing]

'I told you vou could have the

"I wrote that I would be content to
give the boys :1 good time some night.
after we got. home. I could not do:
more than that, could I?"
“II was very nice of you." assented
Inez. 5”! am sorry. Sum. that i did not
