that tho laboring people had come to
recognize that Piesldent Wilson stands
for "Justice freedom nnd righteous-
ness." "Wo have taken Joy In holding up

"I need dot say Hint your coming

In mo by what Mr. Gompors lifts snld
to mo na your spokesman but per-
haps tho simplest thing I enn any Is
that aftor nil tho meat of tho whole
matter la that what I havo tried to do
is to get rid of any class division iu
tho country not only that but of any
class consciousness and fooling. The
worst thing that Could happen to

"As Mr. Gompers said achievement
Is a comparatively small matter but
tlio spirit in which things aro done is
tho essence of tho whole thing nnd
what I am striving for and what I
ant hoping for Is to blot out all the
lines of division In America and
Create a unity of spirit and purpose
founded upoa this the consciousness
that we aro ull men and women und
of tho sanio sort and If wo do not
understand each other's thoughts If
wo cannot comprehend each other's
interests. If wo ennnot servo oach
other'B essential welfare then we have
not yet qualified as representatives of
tho American spirit."
"Nothing so alarms. America as so
much strife divisions tho drifting
apart of the elements among her peo
ple and tho thing we ought to strive
for Is to close up overy rift and tho
only way to do Jt. as far as I can
see is to establish Justice not only
Justice but Justice with a heart In it
Justice' with a pulso In it. Justice with
sympathy In it. Justice can bo for-
blddon or Jt can bo warm andwelcome
and tho latter Is the only kind of Jus-
tice that America ought to desire. I
do not think I am deceiving myself
when I think that this spirit is grow-
ing In America and I pray God that
It may continue to grow."-
In addressing Mr. Wilson Mr.
Gompers said that tho delegates de-
cided without any pro-arrangement to
come and congratulate him.
"We hope your next four years in
