LABOR DAY OBSERVED THROUGHOUT COUNTRY The Biggest Blowout Seems to be at Jamestown Exposition GREAT CROWD GREETS HEARST AND GDMPERS Hearst's Speech Not Political But Confined to Subjects in Which Wage Earners Are Particularly Interested All Neighboring Cities nnd Towns Abandoned Local Cele bration and Went to Jamestown to Join In the Hig Day There Incidents and Events of the. Cele brations at' Other Places. (By 'Leased Wire to The Times.) , Jamestown, Va.( Sept. 2. Labor Day in Virginia's great exposition promises to break all records from every standpoint, particularly In the attendance. The principal speaker Is William Randolph Hearst. He Is not going to speak on politics, but will con line himself to a subject In which those who toil are particularly In terested. The exposition officials say his name has been bno to con jure with. From all points In the south, Atlanta, Birmingham,-Mobile and Savannah among the rest, come delegations-, of enthusiastic demo crats to hoar Mr. Hoarst even though Ills address will not outline a politi cal campaign. The organizations from the sur rounding coasts will turn out in crowds, ten thousand alone coming from Newport News. All other Labor Day celebrations in this district have been abandoned that the people may have an opportunity to hear Mr, Hearst and President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor. The day is one of general holiday in Norfolk. Arlval of Sir. Hearst. A great crowd assembled early to greet William Randolph Hearst, and when the boat on which he was a passenger arrived the original crowd had swelled until It reached threo squares back from the river front, nnd Mr. Hearst was given an en thusiastic welcome. When he1 -reached the shore a parade which had been formed as nn escort led the way to the hotel at which he is stopping while here. The people all along tho route cheered heartily. Flags were waved and Mr. Hearst was often railed on to acknowledge salutations from the time the procession started until ho reached the hotel. Ho was accompanied by Mrs. Hearst. The weather was clear and pleasant and the labor day demon stration one of tho greatest ever held in this country. Nummary of the Speech of William R. Hearst. Mr. Hearst said In part: My Friends Labor Day should rank with tho Fourth of July as a characteristic holiday. The Fourth of July commemorates the means by which we gained our independence as a nation and Labor Day commem orates the means by which' we, have made our name the most powerful, the most progressive, the most pros perous of any In the world. Some nations have grown great by conquering their weaker neighbors. Others have grown rich by despoil ing dependents, but this nation has grown to be the greatest and tho richest of all through the peaceful development of its own resources, by tire honest labors of its citizens. Labor Universally Hwiored. In this country labor is universal ly honored and appreciated. In this country there is no working class, but every man -worthy of the name is a workingman. In this country there is no class of men that work with their hands while another class work with their brains. In America all men work with their brains, and when we say that American laborers are the most efficient on earth we don't mean that their hands are different from those of other men, but that their minds are clearer, quicker and more effective than those of other men. Everybody Work Here Even Father. In this country the mechanics work, the farmers work, the clerks work, the business men work, the professional men work and even the millionaires work. We have no aris tocracy save that of lntelect and In dustry.and tho proudest title of our most successful millionaire is "Cap tain of Industry." In a country where all men are -worklngmen there should be greater combination of Interest, better mutual understand ing and sympathy,- it is la behalf of this better understanding that I speak today. 1 have no patience with the prejudice which exists be tween alleged classes when the class es themselves don't really exist. Labor and Capital. There is no reuHon for hostility between employer and employe, be tween capitalist and wage-earner. ; Capital is but the accumulation of wealth which employer and em ploye create together. Wages are but the division of pro fits, both employer and employe are entitled to their share of the profits, and as long as the division is just j and equitable there is no occasion for conflict. If the division is not just it can always be made so by ar bitration, and there in still no oc casion for conflict. Let us all regard one another as fellow wnrliliigmen and tr-.-at one another with' consideration nnd tol erance. Let us all labor harmoni ously to create wealth in order that I there may ba the greatest possible amount to be justly divided. Class Hatred a Crime to the Country. A condition of class hatred such as has developed in Colorado Is a curse to this country, and is valua ble only as a hitl-.Hiils exanipKV of a mistaken course, tu be hereafter, for ever avoided." - Mr. Hearst referred to the labor troubles in San Francisco following the. earthquake,'. and said the work ingman tliere was not to bo blamed for endeavoring to have his compen sation raised to a point --commensurate'. with the increased cost of liv ing. The higher prices '"or l.ibor and material in the rebuild!!):; of the city, involving wide distribution, he said, had upon the salvation of that community. Capital, Mr, Heaist raid, so long as it obJyB the law. Is worthy of its reward and there should be no pre judice against a proper employment of capital and a proper return fol ks employment. Continuing, he said: Equitable Distribution .of Wealth. "And now, my friends, In the crea tion of wealth and in tho equitable distribution of wealth, not only is corporation necessary, but organiza tion is necessary. Organizations in unions, organizations of capital, all organize, which tend to make human effort more effective, to increase and not to curtail the production of wealth are of advantage to mankind. "Labor unions are valuable not only to their members, but to the whole community. 'Farmers unions are valuablo not only to their own members, but to tho whole community. "And honest, Irw abiding organ! zatious of capital aro not only to their own stockholders, but to the wholo community. "Of course, capitalistic combina tions in restraint of trade, and in establishment of monopoly, nre not combinations for production but for extortion, and activity of this charac ter la not Industry, but robbery. "There is the same difference be twoen legitimate organization and criminal organization as there Is be tween commerce and piracy, between housebuilding and housebreaking. Mr. Hearst spoke of the value of farmers unions nnd of wage earners and added that if farmers and labor ers are not prosperous there is no prosperity. "There is no greater danger to our form of government," he said, "to our popular rights and our public morals than the corrupt use of the great power of corporate wealth. He continued: "More guilty than the official who falls is the seducer who tempts him to his destruction. : The Greatest Traitor. ' "There is no greater traitor to this nation than the man who has made his money under the liberal institu tions of this government nnd who uses his money to undermine those Institutions and debauch the govern ment.. ".. '.-. 'IV "Let us recognize and reward the good which honest corporations ac complish, but let us with equal jus tice condemn and punish the evil which corrupt corporations spread. "Let-us govern our corporations as we do our individual citizens. "Let us make laws Impartially for all and then make all Impartially obedient to the laws, "Let us give every opportunity to legitimate enterprise, but let us en force the prison penalty against (Continued on Second Page.)
