I'ne general policy ot Belfast newspapers and wne Orange Societies is not to give soft answer to any of the republicans pre- tentions, as the Ulstermen term them.

GOVERNOR ON LABOR In s letter to Santiago lgesias, reply- ing to a tclegram of greeting from the Federation of Labor Govesnor Reily this week expressed himseif on the labor question as follows: “Tke morives outlined in my inaugural address are advanced with the utmost of consideration for all elements of the individual and commercia! life of the Island. My specific reference to labor agitators, a peint in question with you, was noi direeted st those who are sin- cerely and honestiy working for the betterment of labor conditions zndf the laborers throughout the world. : “*On the other hand, 1 have no sym- pathy norplace for the man, or organi- zation, whose design is to hide Boishe- vism or I. W. W. ism behind the ecloak of the good name of tabor. I would cau- tion you and your friends against thesc misguided ones who find shelter and succor among us in every walk of life. The American Federauon of Labor is primarily founded upon principles un- questioned in sincerity and fraught with good will toward mankind. As I said in my inaugural address, ‘Capital and La- bor are hand maidens in the world of affairs and progress, and neith:r can succeed without the absolute loyalty and confidence of the other.’ “It is this incontrovertible circum- stance that should guide uvs ir the con- sideratien of all affairs in which capital and labor may bhave their differences, and it is tnis feature we must consider in the mediation of all controversies. ‘I extend my sincerest greefings to ‘you and *he American Federation of Labor.”-—Porto Rico Progress, Aug. 19th.
