consideration. Equally so is the capitalist en-
titled to certain rights and privileges in the
conduct of his enterprises. 1t is earnestly hoped
that the issues may be adjudicated to tho adj
vantage OF all withotu further recourse TO force
violence. II is true in England as elsewhere
that the cost of strife is usually greater than its
conpensations and rage is rarely able to gain
what peaceable negotiation fail to accomplish
However, times come when oppressed humanity
recognizes that personal liberty and individual
rights must be defended by force and now anc
then the victories of such resort have been con.
spicuous. Mayhap that out of the present DIFF
ferences may result considerable advantage 10
the men who daily engaged in a desperate
struggle with eaunt poverty and grim despair
This will be the earnest hope of men, whose
larger sympathies are with the toiling masses,
while al the same time standing for the main
tenanoe of all the rights and privileges of the
more fortunate classes.
