At the opening' of ",the .afternoon
"'•ssion .Mayor Taylor, was introduced.
He was enthusiastically cheered. In
f voice evidently accustomed ;rather
6 the classroom than- the' assembly
hall/ he spoke earnestly^ and j force
fully of the need of observance T of the
law. He referred to the local situa
tion., nnd . said that- the; physical, in
jury to the city was inconsequential
in comparison '.*. with the spiritual in
jury.'; In a voice .high pitched.; but
pleasing as Lincoln's-, is said to have
Men, he spoke as follows:^

of Internecine strife? \u25a0- • ...
Now. la this 'matter It -rseems' to me that
the mo6t essential . thing is the determination
of the parties meeting on equal terms; of man
meeting the other as fellowman, standing breast

r We .haye •- lost, the ; sense . of . things, It . seems
to me, of the tremendous force of moral ideas.
(Applause.) We; must, bring, ourselves back .to
Jthat eense — that tremendous force, Isay;, cf
moral* Ideas. ', You cannot carry a] movement
forward unless It Is borne ..forward by.: the force
of. those Ideas.:';.
..What was "It that ; nerved ' the spirit of the
north :In ' the great . civil .' war ? . Was it . the
mere .'f/iet. that the - north wished .to conqujr
the south? /What gave the greatest strength,
I My, to the clrllwaron the side of the north?
It was; the moral sense which dictated that no
man should hold another man in human slavery.
(Applause.), And -when Abraham Lincoln pro
claimed 'emancipation he gave that -spirit to
the " war, - that- great moral . idea 'to -the * war
which carried It to its successful conclusion. >
Nevr ' let "\u25a0 ng " ourselves become " possessed \u25a0 ' of
this tremendous force of , moral ideas; let t<s
try to put ourselyes under this force andU
ruled by- It; try to sink some of our. selfishness;
try ' to rise . to a rarer ether and : a diviner air.
L*t j us ' learn in its fall ' significance one of the
most ' profound j things said ' by 'Jesus, that "Man

fessqr 'MHler,; stated , that ', Maguire was
not of the. labor- movement,' but- was
bestqualifled.tojspeak for it.<
: 'Prefacing' his remarks the- former
congressman . declared t that ;' her was .; an
individualist of 'the extreme type, .be
lieyingthat all the progressof civllisii
tloh^was. brought i about \u25a0 through the
development, of .'the '.individual
ter along* individual lines. -He" then
drew attention ; to: the fact that ; trades
unionism, in theory, ; proceeds along
lines directly contrary; to individualism.
'.'But I regard ;,the -labor union as r a,
defensive organization . against "those
other t powers \u25a0 of .industrial life which
would crush labor, down below the level
lt;now"occupies,"he said.
.;, In- continuing -*tbe stated
that ; in ; promoting." its self.- interests ; la-,
bor.- of ten? did' wrong;' that in -his opin
ion \ the conflict between and
labor .was "ah ' unnatural conflict.
A consplcu6us r line was c drawn .by
Maguire ? between " trades . . unit>ns _\u25a0] and
labor unions, organizations of, unskilled
.workmen. The^unions^ of \u25a0 skilled .me
chanics,^composed'- of \u25a0.\u25a0 men ; of -. more; in-"
telllge'nce,'"? saw > the^ right more clearly,
it i?, was Jcontended.^. and .their strikes
were .rarely," accompanied by violence.
The; American" 'federation of labor. knew
the 'futility ""of violence. r - Maguire .crit-^
icised sternly -the limitations placed by
unions on" apprentice bpys.l saying that
by .those 'restrictions -American . boys
were" kept .but,- of ,- trades and 'their
places'; wereN. filled ,by ; foreigners who*
learned 'the' trades : in Europe.
1 --'At the: end' he"declared, that not until
there was equality, of could
there -be -industrialpeace.' '
FORMER MAYOR SPEAKS
' : James D. ; Phelan', followed Magulre.
In -\u25a0 introducing^ him Miller' said * he
would take the ,view"of .the third party
in all labor dispiites-^the " public.' Phefan
was i given an .ovation. .; ''",'•'.\u25a0 "-'*r.
public,".' said ' Phelan^ ; "has .the
paramount ? Interest \u25a0> In" all ! labor dis
putes,- but is 'given.! little consideration
by '; the l other parties." Strikes cause
partial paralysis and the public is the
victim.. v<Two thousand carmen strike
and -200,000, people suffer./ The total
16ss- inflicted on -merchants and others
by; the car... strike runs into the millions.
It "is. appalling." 1 .
--•Referring to the high charges \u25a0of
labor in other lines, Phelan stated that
it had 'the -effect ' of ; injuring the inter
ests of :.the<city. He compared the
wages of building jnechanlcs^Jn Boston,
New "York and ; San; Francisco, showing
that locally the .wage -is 1 from $1.50. to
$3 a day higher than in the other cities.
• Phelan .dwelt. at some length on the
question .ofr-ppbllc; ownership: of .utili
ties. ': The! lack, of confidence ]of the peo
ple 'in ; their elected was men
tioned, ; however, ••% as an argument
against^the! acquisition or, development
of utilities ', by . the, government.' r
' .""Public'offlclals have been \u25a0 known to
betray i- their constituencies,' ,to s sell
themselves to a railroad corporation or
other, interests— that \u25a0is contemporan
eous hlstory.'—remarked Phelan, and his
auditors: smiled -in; appreciation. "The
public ; says,.if we;can;not run a street
department' how can" we .run a street
railway department?" '',"-'
The speaker .argued that' the Civic
league :or so.me - other similar organ
ization promote arbitration in all cases
of . industrial dispute. \u0084 .
I " "And if the unions would consider the
question^of /efficiency and worth on. the
part : of "union'men'as earnestly as, they
consider the question of 'a \u25a0 raise*; in
wages," . .he concluded/ I "the. " wages
would raise, themselves and "employers
would, be forced to. go to the "unions to
get vthe best men." [~ : ._ ~ -
STEFFEXS MAKES 'ADDRESS
Lincoln "Steffens,, whom the' chairman
Introduced^as? one 'of \u25a0_ the promoters of
"government '\u25a0; by';. Investigation",*' . made
the tersest and wittiest; as "well; as! the
most succinct speech of- the . evening.
In part he-said:' -.7 J
_ "Why/do v you, :-wh'en you have an in
dustrial crisis~of any. sort on, go to the
Civic league j*or~ to- some t assoclationt
Why, don't you go to your government?
Because you know what you ask me to
prove, .and Mr. .'Heney to -prove, and
any . public , prosecutors to • prove, that
the government isn't yours— lt belongs
to some railroad or to 'some other in
terest." •\u25a0 . .
.In referring to, the attitude' of capital
toward labor Steffens said: "A_man
With $50,000,000 can" understand' why.
he .wants a" billion "dollars, but he can
not understand why a man who gets
?2.75*a day wants ?3.
j- "Continue, both employer and em
