 At this conference resolutions were adopted which while moderate in tone, are well understood by labor leaders to efnbody/ open defiance of the British courts and that more po- tent factor, the British tradition. The struggle that will result is under stood by both factions to involve fight to the death between the gov-- ernment and capital on one side, and
 union labor on the other. So serious is the situation regarded that the British press has avoided reference to it with the same scrupulous care reference the government plans for resisting a foreign invasion.

This brings me to my topic for discussion.
Does Professor Sibley know that the pay OF

to $40 a month? Is he fully aware of the
fact that at some places young men pay Cor

certain hotels. etc. the head waiter has to
