DOES NOT , UNDERRSTAND QUEST Points to Civic Federation as Proof That Employers and Employed Alike Seek to Settle Industrial Dis putes Amicably. Columbus , O. , April 22. Senator Ilanna was the guest of honor at a banquet tendered the delegates to the convention of the Amalgamated Asso ciation of Iron , Steel and Tin Work ers that is now holding Its twenty- eighth annual session hero. Ho was Invited as the chairman of the Civic Federation to speak about the Na tional Civic Federation and its worlc , but he took occasion also to reply to the recent annual address at the Now Orleans convention of President Parry of the American Association of Manu facturers on the relations between or ganized employers and organized em ployes. Mr. Ilanna said , In part : "With your permission I want to allude to the recent utterances of the piesltlent of an organization known as the Manu facturers' Association. I have nothing personal against Mr. Parry. I have the highest respect for that organiza tion , because I know a great deal of its personnel , and I know It Is composed of liberal , high minded men. I say it is unfortunate that that question should be considered in so drastic a way by one , who , from his own state ments , does not understand the ques tion. It is stated thus ( reading ) : 'Or ganized labor knows but one law , and that the law of physical force , the law of the Huns and vandals , the law of the savage. All Its purposes arc ac complished either by actual force or by the threat of force. ' That is not true. ( Reading ) 'Once thoroughly alive to the true nature of this un- American institution of organized la bor , as at present conducted , the people ple , I firmly believe , will place their stamp of disapproval upon It and it will dwindle in power faster than it grew. " We will see. In controverslgn of those statements , I am able to bear witness to the fact that within the last two years , in connection with this work of the Civic Federation , it has been demonstrated that this question In the Interest of organized or unor ganized labor has received more thoughtful and careful consideration from all classes of the American people ple than ever before. If I had the time to recount In detail the difficulties that have been overcome and the ad- Tancement that has been made in the settlement of disputes , In bring ing closer together the employer and the employe , if I could state those facts and ask the gentleman who makes these statements what ho haste to say in reply , furnishing proof , I would fire him out of court. " If you do not derive prompt and faotory rcHiillH from the UHO of Poruna , wrltoiiloiico to Dr. Hurlman , Klvlng ft full statement of your CIIHO and ho will lie iileaHcd to glvo you Ills valuable ad vice Knit Is.
