Trade unionism is natural conse-

economic observer, every contestant on
either side. wwhen considering the OueS-

Mr.. Kirby's solution OF tho problem is
that there must be no interference with
the natural law OF supply and demand"
He would have the sellers OF labor eyer
at the mercy OF buyers wherever tho
trade union would put sellers on an equal
