There Is little or no chance that Pres-

r-i nts made In New York will be manu-
factured under sanitary conditions.
There will be no more sweat shops.
The rock on which all previous ef-
forts at mutual concilatlon have split
has been the closed shop. That rock
has now been avoided by the adoption
of the "preferential union shop," idea,
for which Louis L>. Brandels, a promin-
ent attorney of Boston is given full
credit.
In the articles of agreement the idea
is thus described;
"Each member of the manufacturers is
to maintain union shops, union shop be-
ing understood to refer to a shop where
union standards as to working condi-
tions. hours of labor and rates of wan *
prevail, and where, when hiring help, j
union men are preferred; it being r -
cognized that since there are differences
of degrees of skill, employers shall have
the freedom of selection a.s between one
union man and another and shall not
be confined to any list nor bound to fol-
low any prescribed order."
Other articles provide for these more
Important points:
1.—Electric power froe.
2 No work at home.
3.—J>in< upline of anv manufacturer
proved guilty of discrimination among
Ills employes.
4.- Six days work a week and a cash
weekly pay day.
5.—All sub-contracting within shops
abolished.
6.—A\ine hours work a day, five il&ys a
week and five hours the sixth day.
7.—The price of piece work to be
agreed upon by a committee of employes
and their employers.
8.—Double pay for overtime.
The settlement of the strike averts a
crisis on the crowded east side. With
thousands out of work and unable to
pay rent, the courts were literally
swamped with eviction proceedings.

' i re is no place in tho Id where
he man does get to the top has
hance to lead a life so attractive and
full of interest in every way as in
the United States.
"Of course, if a man desires on-
ly to lead a life of pleasure, this
is not a good country for it. There
is no good country for it any-
where, for the simple reason that-n,
of all dismal carers, the most dis-
mal. the most empty, the most
worth living from any standpoint
is the career of the man who seri-
ously devotes himself as his sole
object to pleasure. First to de-
vote one's self to pleasures as the
sole object of life, is the surest
way not to get it. Any man above
that lowest stratum, above the
man merely seeking pleasure and
enjoyment, can find here as no-
where else in the world, an oppor-
tunity to help work out the great
problems of the future, and any
man who is worth his salt ought
to feel the most supreme pleasure
over the fact that he is given the
opportunity to try his hand to help
work out these problems.
"Everywhere I wont abroad I was
interested In finding that the leading
statesmen of the various countries
were watching us, were looking at
what we were doing and were consid-
dering the methods we had tried to
solve the different problems before us.
They said that they were interested
in us because the things we were do-
ing today were the things they would
have to do tomorrow or the day after.
You are the pioneers in solving social
problems in America and for the
whole world. It is for you to solve
these problems in the spirit of Dem-
ocracy. I need not say that that Im-
poses a very grave responsibility up-
on us.
"Two other things impressed me,
One was that the ordinary man. the
man to whom life was pretty hard,
was looking to us to realize the possi-
bility of happiness < n earth. The man
who suffers injustice is loking to-
ward this country as the place in
which he would be free from the pres-
sure of much Injustice, as the place
where the ordinary man could have a
chance in llfe.t
"There is another side to this pic-
ture. Everywhere I went there was
a certain astonishment, mixed with a

much less pleasing feeling, felt over
the accounts of business and political
corruption that come to Europe about
what happens here in America. I
think you-will probably acquit me of
any Igreat admiration of the mere
multi-millionaire at home. But T
like him even less abroad. I want t<
call your attenton that I have said
the mere muti-millionaire. There a,re
good men In every walk of life and the
man who is a good American, who
has done his duty and has a great
fortune is « ntitlcd to our hearty re-
spect. and It is unworthy any one to
deny it to him if he deserves it.
' I am speaking of the same class
of multi-millionaires of whom it
was said two thousand years ago,
that it was more difficult for them
to get to heaven than for a canal
to go through the eye of a needle.
It is the rich men who trusts to
his riches that I am speaking of.
the multi-millionaire whose sole
title to distinction is the fact that
he is a muiti-millionaire. Sucl") a
one is a poor citizen and is a very
objectionable American exhibit
abroad. I was always ashamed
when I saw that type of man ac-
cepted abroad as the typical
American and I felt even more
ashamed when things happened
here which gave the impression
abroad that corruption in business,
in politics and lawlessness end.
brutal violence obtained here more
than they did in any other coun-
try. Every active corruption in
our business or political life, and
every deed of violence by a mob
is a blow at Democracy, it is a
blow at self government. The mob
in lynching a criminal pnts itself
down on the same level of infamy
that the criminal stands on. The
big man of business who swindles
the public or debauches a legisla-
ture. the grafting politician, who
blackmails a corporation are all
enemies of Democracy and self
government. Reports jef such cor-
ruption and lawlessness bring joy
to the heart of every reactionary
in Europe who wants to see pop-
ular government fail, and who Is
glad to se that government by the
people on a large scale cannot suc-
ceed."
Colonel Roosevelt spoke at son
length upon the need of honesty i
public and private life.

of comparative rest tot.av. AH that the
colonel did was to attend a breakfast
given by the Roosevelt committee, a
luncheon at the Field club, a dinner at
the Omaha club, an entertainment giv n
by the hoard of governors of the Ar-Sar-
Ben, which is the official boomers' club
of omaha; to take automobile ride .ill
over Omaha, make threo fpeeSbei and

his behalf, a telegram was sent from
and then leave for Sioux Falls, where
he is to speak tomorrow.
Commends Senator Burkett.
It was at the Auditorium, where he
made his principal speech of the day,
that Colonel Roosevelt commended the
work of Senator Burkett. The senator
has obtained the Republican nomination
and Congressman Hitchcock the Demo- j
eratie nomination. Under the Nebraska
law the people will vote for a senator
at the fall election, and the members of
the legislature arc obliged to elect the
candidate who receives the highest num-
ber of votes.
Senator Burkett made the speech in-
troducing Colonel Roosevelt. He de-
scribed the colonel as "the man who was
once the first citizen of the nation and
is now the greatest man in the world."
There was loud applause.
"I am particularly pleased to he in-
troduced by Senator Burkett," said
of the men whom I especially relied on
while I was president, both while he wes
In the house and in the senate. On one
occasion he paid a tribute to me which
may have been entirely unmerited, in
which 1 was described as what the typi-
cal American public servant must be. He
said;
Man, Not the Dollar.
" 'In the great struggle of life' Tthe
good American] must be prepared to
take the side of tne man rather than
of the dollar. Old time methods In pol-
itics, old time ideas of governmehtal duty
and perogative are relegated to the junk
shop of political antlqultie
who Is skeptical i
righteousness of
that the American people have taken
socially and morally can hold their con-
fidence No man who Is fearful of pop-
ular rule, or Is more afraid of the peo-
ple's oppression of predatory wealth
with law than of its oppression of the
people without law, Is eligible to pop-
ular esteem.'
"In my own case," Colonel Roosevelt
continued, "all I can say Is that I have
endeavored t. live up to that descrip-
tion, and that I was able to accomplish
what I did accomplish in Washington
only because of the wav in which I was
backed up by men like Senator Burkett;
as we have a guest from Iowa pres-
let me also say, likw Senator Dolll-
Bays Satisfy the Canal
. n Colonel Roosevelt proceeded with
set speech, In which he spoke of the
ima canal and the navy, lie said
the trip of the American fleet
nd the world Increased greatly the
ige of this country, and that* the
which Is being done on the can; 1
,,!!■■ of the st P" I
ices of the the a^es. He took
i> issue of neutralizing the canal
and in strongest terms declared
this country should fortify tlu
of crisis I do not want to depend sole-
ly upon It.
"We built the canal ourselves. Wo
dont' have to ask anybody else to come
in and say how It shall be used. If
It was not our Intention to have our sav
so in regard to the canal, we had no
business to undertake the work. It is
not an act showing a peaceful disposi-
tion to ask others what we should do.
It is showing a timid disposition.
"I want Uncle Sam to be peaceful,
but I want peace In the first place that
will do wrong to no one and in the sec-
ond place that will sumbit us to wrong
from no one."
