active labor in the great mechanical in
dustries of the country and ten years OF
service as Chief Of the Brotherhood OF

an interesting and timely letter to the
journal declares that in all the cases he
ever knew where the wOrkmcn had a just
cause of complaint and took peaceful and
proper methods to secure redress, they
received a respectful hearing from their
employers and as a general rule obtained
the satisfaction which they sought. This
IS the text of this veteran workman'S
cogcnt plea for "A rational and peaceful

ask an attentive hearing for he has been
a consistent advocate Of what he aptly
calls the peace policy for a generation
