Before answering Albert jeremiah
BeYeridge's questions let US ask him
couple:
"Are the tides Influenced by the
moon or by the Dingley tariff law?'
"liow can d workingman, SEN
fenced to jail for exercising his |
rights as a citizen, earn money to |
buy food and clothing for his wife
and little ones?
Platforms do not supply food and
clothing. The principles enunciateu
IN platforms may or may not, If
lfamed into laws, afford worker an
opportunity 10 enjoy the fruits of his
labor. a principle that affords equal
opportunity is better than a principle
1hat deprives portion of the people
OF their opportunities. A law that
VIII prevent worker from being
sentenced to jail without trial by
Jury certainly affords the worker
oetter opportunity to provide for his
vie and little one than judicially
enacted law that prevents him frou
exercising his rights under penalty
OF jail for contempt without trial.
'All the rights labor has, or will
nave, We have given and will give,
declares Albert jeremiah Beyeridge
Either Senator Beveridge is know
lngly talking nonsense or he takes
1"e workers 10 be pack of fools.
Ihe right TO work is not privi-
Iege granted by any party. The in
dllehable right To life, liberty ana
The pursuit of happiness was acknow.
lodged while Albert jeremiah Bever-
ldse and bis party were eventualities
OF future time. The Carpenter OF
Nazareth piled his trade Two thou
sand years before Judge Tart forged
The shackles Of the Injunction that
were to be placed upon the wrists OF
honest toll. Paul the Tentmakel
plied ms trade nineteen hundred
years before Albert jeremiah Bever-
ldge's party turned deaf ear to the
Just demands OF honest tuilers at
Chicago and listened to the siren
voices OF Post, Parry and Van CleaVe
Senator Beyeridge talks like Il
nluny when he says says "his party
mas given labor all the rights it has,
and viii give them all the rights 1t
can ever hope To have.
We also have given to the laburei
FOOD Tor his table and roof for his
bead. ~ -
For downright Stiffness this take,
the premium. Labor asks no mat
for IOOd; II asks no political party
for roof over its head. Labor SIN.
ply demands an equal opportunity /,
caru these things. Men earned an,
ate and slept under roofs before 20
litical parties were organized Equa
opportunity IS not gift TO be be
stowed-it Is a light to be exercised
