LABOUR DANGERS.

AN AMERICAN PROBLEM. Renter's Telei/rama. NEW YORK, December 4. Mr W. H. Tali, an ex-President, in a speech, urged the necessity for action being taken to prevent the labour unions from weakening America's activity to meet the economic conilict after the war. There was the danger that the unionists would place themselves above the law. The Labour Federation's desire to deny unorganised labour the right to work amounted to rebellion, and the threat that a railway strike would be enforced unless the eight-hour law was upheld was a threat to starve the nation into submission.
