Among the penditures for national defense au thorized by the President are: Funds for completion of the six cruisers au- thorized by congress in the last ses sion: funds for completion of the re modeling of the battleships Okie homa und Nevada: and funds for 1.800 first-class planes for the army and 1,000 planes for the navy, ‘There was only one naval appropriation which the President did not approve. That was for three submarines, aske] for in 1916. on which Investigation work still is being done. Pessimists at once began figuring that the increased defense estimates, together with the necessity of spond. ing a lot for farm relief, would make impossible any extensive reduction in taxes by the next congress, But the official opinion In Washington Was that taxes would certainly be cut at least 8300.000.000 during the coming session. In order to bring this about the Democratic leaders and some Re. publicans will, if necessury, combat the practice of applying all receipis from foreign debts to national debt reduction.

The editorial, which appeared in the American Federationist for Sepiem- ber, 1804, follows: In the cycle of time we are again on the dawn of our most Important national holiday--Labor Day. Most ime portant, since it for the first time In the history of the world devotes a day to the recognitioh of the fact that the wage earners must hereafter be re garded as the important factor in the etonomy of life. In this day when so many look upon the dark side of the progress of the labor movement and predict worse things in store for the jaborer, it is not amiss to direct atten. tion to the fact that the life of the human family is one vast struggle, and that though the progress is not as swift as we, as well as our impatient brothers and sisters of labor, would like it to be, yet the fact that In our flecade we can see the rights of labor more clearly defined, the vantage ground obtained, and obtaining a tlearer Insight Into the existing wrongs, the more intelligent percep tion and determination to achieve la. bor's rights, The past year has witnessed several contests, some of them defeats, but though defeated in the Immediate ob. ject sought, they have awakened a new conscience In the American people, and will contribute more to the thorough organization of the wage workers of our country than hundreds of meets ings, speeches or pamphlets.

And Labor Day, 1927. finds him still standing stead- fastly for the “rights of labor,” but he is anlso conscious of the responsi- bilities of labor as well, That sense of responsibility was voieed recently by one of its leaders, John P. Frey, president of the Ohio State Federa- tion of Labor, when he said: A portion of our obligation, our duty to the great movement which we rep resent, is to deal with employers with whom we have friendly relations in such a manner that we will not only retain their full confidence, but by ex- ample lead other employers to realize that not only as a matter of justice, but asx a matter of individual advan- tage to themselves, it is to their In- terest to establish friendly working relations with trade union organiza tions of their employees. . if our trade union movement fe to fulfill the purpose for which it exists, ite pol. felon, its methods, ite attitude must be euch as to win and retain the confi. dence and good will of the majority of employers, Trade union members, trade union discipline and the mili. tant spirit are essential to our wel fare, but a trade union movement de in depths of mystic deep-hidden man's ins iler dost thou Divinity? pyres ate fires, seo the mill toller of il, to thy will, Molding matter Hearing towers crowned with Bessemers of Titan frame, By thy fierce, all-potent fires Forgi , proud, cloud-fung ap Toller, In thy Toller, flame, toiler, dort thou see toil Divinity?
