classes of organized labor stand ready
to inaugurate a strike, with all its at.

ening the ties Of citizenship among
thousands of our people in that they
have no other standard Of community
obligations than what these organiza
tions inculcate; that they are bringing
reproach upon the judicial tribunals
of our country by public abuse OF these
tribunals and often open defiance OF
their judgments and DEGREES, thus
seeking to break down the only safe
guards of a free people"
The remedy for these evils lies. he
said, principally. in correct public
sentiment touching the relations that
should exist between labor and cap
ital A uniform law that would take
the individual workman out from un-
der any ban of reproach, such as
"scab" OF .black list" he thought
would aid in re-establishing correct re,
lations between labor and capital.
"A further law" he added, SHOULD
be enacted that would make it iusti
fable homicide for any killing that oc-
cured in defense of any lawful occu-
patton"
In view of the close relationship
existing among all classes Of our clti
zens and the interdependence Of all
interests, strikes and boycotts, he
thought, should be made a felony bttb
by national and State legislation.
