In extending welcome to you I also wish

Thla great luuustrlal question has come
to the' surface' ami Is demanding due and
careful investigation by the people of the
United States. No more important ques
tion claims their attention than this one,
which seeks to bring about a better re
lationship between capital and labor.
The object of this meeting today, and
for the several days for which we are
to meet, Is to dlacuss In every phase of
this question, all matters of Interest which
will tend to tha Improvement of the condi
tions as affecting these two great factors,
and which shall Interest to a larger extent

Labor- Preblrni Alwaya Present.
Charles Francis Adams said In part:
Sound and fruitful legislation cannot be
Improvised. It" Is Idle to talk in language
as empty as it Is grandolse of "curolng"
and regulating potentates and powers of
such large, and yet vague, character aa
those that labor and capital are now con
tinually bringing Into the field, by any pat
ented method.
A governmental regulation which ehall
deal satisfactorily with them must rest
upon a broad and well considered basis of
experience, it Is equally futile to suppose
that this labor content. In which we have
been engaged, and whlcli we have experi
enced the Inconvenient result for so many
years, ia going to be settled In a day or an
hour, or next year, or within, tha next ten
years.
It will continue with us during the re
mainder of our lives and with our children
alter us. We will slowly and tentatively
approximate to satisfactory results.
Under these circumstances If a solution,
represented by a. proper legislative and ad
ministrative macmnery, is ever 10 oe
evolved it must be evolved from a source of i
thereon, no less Judicial and well consid
ered, than that series of great opinions
from which the present constitution of the
United Btates haa been slowly built upon
and rounded out.
Alfred . Moseley explained how be came
to bring delegation of British worklngmen
to America. When in South Africa be had
found American engineers bad succeeded
In mining operations where British en
gineers failed and a later visit to the
United ' States , had convinced htm that
American business methods were in ad
vance of those of the old country.
One of, the reasons of this, he said, was
the adoption by American manufacturers
of piecework, ,aj)d another the encourage
ment offered to brains and initiative.
There ia not that close touch between the
English manufacturer and his workmen
that there Is here. Added to this Is the im
proved machinery and the knack of getting
more out Of it than they do on the other
side. . ; " ;

arising. Humanity Is entering another pe
riod of development and all development,
whether physical or moral, originates with
a feeling of uneasiness and in a aentlment
that new conditions have been brought
