allowed 10 set up Its reign IN our borders.
NO, tneT q rs too much good selse doml-
nant a this country 10 permit anarchy
All ocd peePe will, together with the Of.

.nonths there will be kindlier
understanding between labor and
capital than has ever been known
~ this country. They have had demon-
\ sirated as never before their absolute
dependence upon each other.
Meanwhile, my hrotherly counsel IL TO
three classes Of laborers.
First, TO those VINO are at work. Stick
TO Il, DO not anld the excitement u
these times drop your employment, hop
Ing that something better WIZ turn w.
lie who givcsup work now, whether ne
be railroad maH, mechanic, farmer, clerk
OF any other Kind OF employe, Will Prob
ably give II up for starvation. fOn may
not like the lt1e OF steamers that You are
sailing W, but do not Jump overheard In
lfhe middle Of the Atlantic. BE little
lcarlier than usual az your post CT work
while hlsiurnol lasts, and stteud TO
J your occupation with q little more assid-
ulty than has ever eharGcterlzeD you.
MY brOtherly counsel, In Tie second
place, Is 10 those who have resigned
work. Il Is best for you and best for
everybody TO "a back Immediately. Do
NOT visit TO see what others do. Get on
hoard che train OF national prosperity be-
f0reit starts again, for start II Will, start
soon and starr nightly. Last year In
the city Of New York there were 10 gen
erAl strikes and i77 chop strikes. Sac
cessiul Htrites, 81; strikes lost, 81
strikes pendlag at The time the statistics
were made, ~ strikes compromised, 49,
4 Would you likeme TO tell you who will
make the most ont OF the present almost
universal strike? can and will. Those
! viii make the most out OF IL whc go first
lto work.
My third word OF brofherly advice is TO
another class Of laboTers namely, those
who have been long time out Of work
How many OF them? Before this
present trouble began there were
nearly 2,000,0t0 people In this country out
OF work aDdoould not get work. have
for the last ten years been busy much Of
the time In trying 10 get people work
who asked for 1t. | have worn myself
out again and again, as many OF you have,
to get Employment for those who besought
II. In some cases we succeeded, In 9th
ers failed. My brotherly counsel is to
the nearly two million people who could
not get work before this trouble began
and who have themselves and their fami-
Hes to support, 10 go now and take the
vacated places Go In and take those
places 100000 strong. Green hands
you may DO now, but you will not be

aud full liberty Tor al who want TO take
the vacated places. Other Industries Will

side door OF this continent aud there Is
room In this country for 500, 900, 900 peo-
pie and for each one OF them Il home and
a lly llhood and a God.
SO, however others may feel about this
excitement, as wide as the continent, |
am not scared n bit. The storm will
hush Christ Will put his foot upon Ii az
upon ngitated Galilee. AS at the begin
