I am glad to be associated wtih those who bear so important a part in the great work that labor does. I suppose if there is one organization of which I could be properly made an honor ary member It is the organization of printers, for if I am not a printer myself, I have given printers more work than any other man, I think, in the United States. "I am glad to be associated with you in the bonds of this organization for two reasons.

In the first place, because you represent a great labor organization of the country and you represent one of the most intelligent branches of labor of the country. You represent one of the best organized branches "of labor of the country and I believe in the organizations laboring nien, I believe in the organization for what it does for those who belong to It, and I believe in it for what, it does for those who do not belong to it, for, according to my understanding of the work of labor orgnaizations, Its benefits are not confined to its members. "I repeat this world is so con structed that no one good thing can be monopolized. it: is well it is This idea of brotherhood being cultivated by members of this organization and all others is going to reach a kinship and jnearness to each other that will enable us to solve more easily the problems that vex mankind."
