The greatest of nil problems before organized labor today la the conserva tion of the physical and mental health of the workingmen, said Samuel Gom pers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, in a recent inter view. Mr. Gompers was optimistic in view ing the future. lie traced the marks of a progressive amelioration of the industrial life of the workingman anil asserted that there never had been iu the history of the world such "high and exciting prospects" for labor, iu Justifying bis optimism he said that a glance into the "dismal past" and a serious reflection on the present status of labor are enough to kindle hope and urge men to dare things yet unaccom plished. The reduction of the working hours was considered by Mr. Gompers the bisgest question confronting organized labor because "it will do away with those elements In modern industry that are makiDg for a deterioration of the race..... "In dnys gone by men could sit at their benches and make the necessa ries of life by their Individual labor. Then they could drop their tools when they chose nnd pick them up again at any hour of the day to feel once more the thrill of creative labor. Now, great machines have eliminated all this, and the workers blindly, dumbly follow the demands of the machine. They are compelled to keep up with the en gine. There is only one other alterna tive, which most men would not dare choose. Modern industry is intense, and the worker must make an intense application to his work to keep pace with the machine. The rapidity with which things nre done enervates the worker and reacts terribly upon his children." Mr. Gompers said that the complex division and subdivision of labor and the "blinding swiftness" of the pace Bet by the machines must be compen sated by a reduction of the working hours. This, to the worker, is ns good as an Increase In wages because he works n shorter time for what he gets and has leisure for other and better things. He asserted that the "long hours of labor" already were making inroads into the physical and mental health of the workers and that It boded ill for the future of the race, tie pointed out that the question was vital be cause It affected such a lurge propor tion of the population. For this rea son be said that the health of the worker whs the greatest national nsset of this country. "What kind of children." he asked, "cnu the people of this country expect from a vast ninai of overworked men and women who are forced to board every cent they earn for the bare iec essaries of existence?" Mr. Gompers believes that child la bor Is an Issue that has great bearing on the physical nnd mental health of tbe people. ' lie stands fur its aboil tlon. lie asserts thut It "tends seri ously toward racial degeneration." lie adds: "It must be remembered that the children of today are futuro citizens of this republic. It Is not a question of dollars and cents nor of industrial supremacy, but of the future develop ment of the American nice. If these children nre gulag to take an active and healthy part In tbe civic and cul tural life of the Cnlted States they must be taken from the factories." Mr. Gompers also wants women's part la Industry either reduced to an irreducible minimum or the conditions of their labor so lightened as not to endanger ths health of the race. lie does not, nor does organized labor, wlsb to circumscribe the activities of women, but there srs many crying evils to be eliminated before tbey can normally grow. lie commented favor ably on legislation of recent years to regulate women's hoars, but bs bopsd for still greater changes to come. That these things had not been ac complished already bs attributed to tbe "failure of tbe oonanlon man to make common cause wltb tbe anion worker." Us held this failure to be regrettable and unpatriotic." lis call ed It ao "obstacle to national growth and ths besltb of ths rscs. which con tributed In a large measure to tbe sof ferloj of 11." 6' .sl' Mr. Arthur I, rierce, 2618 Sher idan Ave, 8t Louis, Ma "The curative value ot Peruna Is truly wonderful.

On 'board the United States Ship Santiago, at Mazattan, by wire less ot San Diego, Cal., Dec. 26. In the hope of checking Villa senti ment on the west coast of Mexico, General Jesus Carranza, a brother of General Venustiano Carranza has left Mazatlan for Sallfia Cruz. Loy alty of the gunboat Puerrero to Car ranza was so uncertain that a military guard had to be carried to keep the crew from mutiny. Interest In any other fighting on this part of the coast has about died out and the soldiers are selling their arms. Quiet prevails along the entire west coast for the most part. The assistance of an American ves sel was required to extricate Captain Stewart from an embarrassing situa tlon at Salina Cruz. A Mexican gen eral detained him and demanded transportation for himself, his foops and horses. However, when the cruiser Raleigh appeared on the scene he hastily withdrew his request.

Organization In Industry Is ths Key to Betterment of Conditions For the Workers United Effort Needed to Remedy Existing Wrongs. Tbe executive council of the Ameri can Federation of Labor in its greet- in to the thlrtv-fourth annual con-If "1 cention at Philadelphia said: The principle that has directed and controlled all policies of the American Federation of Labor is that organiza tion in industry is the key to better ment of conditions for the workers. Organization for the purpose of mak Ing united effort to remedy wrongs that affect the work and lives of all has been tbe instrumentalityhat has brought cheer and hope and betterment to the workers. Economic organization gives power power to protect the workers against industrial, exploitation and injustice; nower to secure for them ODnortunlties for development; power to secure for tneni tmogs tnai win mage uie situe, whole and good; power to bring into their lives something of beauty and pleasure; power to secure political rep resentation for their ideals and recog nition of their demands in legislation. Tbe influence of organization in in dustry and its Infinite number of con tacts with other organizations consti tute an Intricate force that Is tbe most powerful single force in society. Tbe power of labor is commensurate wltb lis unity, solidarity and federa tion. Tbe ultimate purpose of every activ ity of tbe American Federation of La bor is to extend and to make more of fectlve organ Izatioii. Whatever success labor has had Id establishing Its Ideals in any field of activity baa been due to its numerical strength and solidarity of economic or ganization. During the pnst yeur the American Federation of Labor has won a remark able political victory. It has brought to a successful culmination the political campaign Inaugurated In 1906. Tbe purpose of that campaign was to establish industrial freedom for tbe working people, tuat they might have tbe right to organize and tbe rlgbt to the activities necessary to make or ganization effective for human welfare. The law that accords tbe workers of Americu those rights contains the most fundamental, the most comprehensive enunciation of Industrial freedom found In any legislative net in the history of the world. Tbe workers of our Innd were able to secure that law because tbey repre sented an orgatil7.ed economic power. Since labor's hill of grievance was presented to those responsible for tbe failure to accord labor necessary legls latlve protection and since the inaugu ration of, labor's nonpartisan political rampnign in I'.WHI, the organized work ers have been able to secure many laws protecting the workers tbe great ma Jorlty of the people. They have accomplished these results with no other machinery except their economic organization their federation As individuals workers are unable to secure auy consideration from employ ers, lawmaking bodies or other govern ment agencies, but by means of their organization for economic purposes the workers take their rightful positions as the most powerful, tbe most Influential element In society. For this reason the American Fed erotion of Labor has during tbe past year extended its plans and efforts for organization. The special work bns been amon tbe unskilled and among the women workers. Organization Is like a structure. It must rest Uii a firm, solid foundation to be of service. Organization Infuses into the Indus trial life of n community consideration for human welfare. In time new con ceptlons of tbe value and the sacred ness of human life permeate tbe Indus trial organization and management and extend out Into tbe common Ufa of tbe community. The little leaven of bu inanity bas brought gentleness, met cy and justice and thus brings about a cultural conization thnt is expressed In tbe dally thoughts and habits ot tn dlvldunls. Economic organization Is that upon wblcb we must concentrate our thought end effort Wben economic organization Is achieved every other good thing be comes possible for the workers. But because of the great power at tacblng to this agency many otbi movements or forces seek to destroy or to use them. For this reason the A. F. of L. early adopted tbe policy of avoiding entangling alliances. This policy cas been coDsUtently pursued during all these years, flut wltb great success and Increased growth comes additional power. Msny and tempting will be tbe avenues f sctivlfy sod tbe associations open to tbe A. F. of Increasingly difficult will It be to dis tinguish the things wblcb are moot Important and vital for tbe eontlno ons development of tbe federation' tbs things which make for life rather then mere power. Kver most be held up tbe poller, the organization federa tln. thnt Is the thing. Organisation eliminates necessity for paternal legislation by enabling em ployees and employers to determine onon working conditions mutual!, gratifying.
