has opened an office in the business dis-

interested in ecclesiastical duttet* alone,
and his office has become the gathering
place of men interested in matters of
civic import. "Partisan politics," says
the bishop, "arc the curse of municipal
elections. The only place for parties in
city affairs is in nonpartisanship. It.
takes patience to gain any public good,
and there must he honest, able and ag-
gressive leadership to win over the ob-
stacles that are sure to be thrown in the
way by opposing private capital. 1 be-
lieve in municipal ownership. It is con-
ducting for tlio people and by the people
what is essentially their own."

TAFT SPEAKS
ON CAPITAL
AND LABOR
Continued From Page One.
to renieriiai legislation has been ot more
direct Interest than the philanthropist.
What tnc capitalist who is tho em-
ployer of labor must face," he continued,
is thai organized labor—the labor union
is a permanent condition in the indus-
trial world, it has come to stay, n the
employer would consult Ills own interest
lie must admit this and act. on it.
"Under existing conditions the blindest
course that an employer ol labor ••an
pursue i.s to de-line to recognize labor
unions as ihe controlling interest in the
labor market, and 10 insist upon dealing
with his particular employes.
"The time is pas sen m which the at-
titude of lit it dealing with labor uni >ns
can be assumed with any hope ot suc-
cess. What a wise manager >t a corpo-
rate enterprise employing large numb rs
of laborers should do is to receive the
leaders ot iabor unions with « ourtesy and
respect and listen to their claims and ar-
guments. as they would do t<i the niati-
i gers ot any other corporation or enter-
prise with vhom they were to make an
important contract attectmg the business
between them.
Faults of Labor Leaders.
"At times some labor leaders are in-
toxicated with the immense power that
they exercise in representing thousands
of men and are weak enough to exhibit
a spirit ol' arrogance. Dealing with them
is trying to the patience of the employer.
So. too. oropositions from labor unions
are sometimes so exorbitant in respect to
the terms of employment as literally to
deprive the manager of the control which
he ought to retain over th<-- laborers em-
ployed 'n his business. This is to be
expected in a comparatively move-
ment and is not to be made as a ground
for condemning it.
"On the other hand, this arrogance is
not confined to one side. All of us know
that there are \ number of employers
who have the spirit of intolerance and
.vnstf of p iwer because of their immense
resources, .ind that their attitude ?s
neither eo.iclliatorv nor likely to lead to
ar. adjustment of differences."
On the suhjeet of arbitration Mr. Taft
argued for the adjustment of labor dif-
ficult!"^ r<\ the submission to an Im-
partial tribunal and agreement to abide
by its judgment.
On the port of rights of unions to
strike lie said: "Men have the right to
leave the emnloy of their cnu'lo.ver in h
bod:* in order to Impose on him as gre«u
an inconvenience as possible to induce
him to #.-ome to their terms. Thcv have
thr» right to use persuasion with all other
laborers who ire invited to take their
places in order «o show them the strength
of unjted action."
He added, however, thai "a resort to J
violence or other form of lawlessness on
behalf of a labor union nroperlv merits
sharpest condemnation from the public
and Is quite likrl" to lose the cause of
labor its support in the controversy.*'
