Ing. after he had called on the President.
when the situation gets so bad that 5000
G0 men attempt to hold up 9O.000,O0 peO-

President did wise thing in calling down
the aggresslveness of the labor organiZa-
lions in the attempt made by some or them
to declare that union labor only should be
employed in the government service. NO
wiser greater action could have been
taken by the President, OF course, con-
graduated the President his position.

happiness If a man cannot obtain work

ment of some union which may have eX-
PEELED him from membership because of the
personal luminosity of a clique or men
against him. Something of a far-reaching
ature will have to be done to stop TINS
thing before long, and the President took
a long step in the right direction when he
decided that government employment was
open to everybody
