 Mir Louis D. Brandeis. of Boston. is 4 good lawyer. but better tor worse) demagosue. In speech at meeting nf insurgents. held in Canton. ohio. New Years night. in which the Nc Namara ease was referred 10. Mir. Brandeis not only by implication seemed 10 justify. at least in part. the hideous outrage Of which the Me Namaras are guilty. but warned the people Of this country that unless big business changes it's practices. further acts of similar nature are 10 be expected. That the anarchistic clement in this country will take s large degree of comfort from MT Brandeis' incorporate remarks there k not particle of doubt
 AS already said. Brsndes is a Bos- ton man. He iS e shrewd lawyer and an opportunist of the first water. No one outside Of Boston ever heard of him until he was employed aS counsel in the year-old investigation CT the interior department; but the reputation which he gained at that time has been nurtured carefully: and the man has lost no opportunity of playing on the passions and preju- dices of the public in order that his notoriety may be kept alive.
 In his Canton speech NIT. Brdndes said:
 The country should not be sur prised that the McNamaras and their allies had resorted to violence to gain their ends. Big business must give rights. 10 laboring men or face flood Of socialism
 This means that the country need not be surprised at the most hideous crime Of the century. In the purvien of Mr. Brandeis. such monstrous outrage iS perfectly natural; and it goes without argument that thing that is perfectly natural-that was to haze been expected has. at least. some sort Of justification. Is il possible that insurgency in order to gain place and power. k willing to assume such aw- ful responsibility as this? No matter what any one may say. statements of this kind hold out tacit invitation 10 anarchism to resort 10 murder and dynamite in labor disputes. with does not protect the offenders. will at least tolerate the offense
 At the head of the list of criminal offenders. Brsndeis places the United States Steel Corporation. It is re- called that this man recently attacked Judge Elbridge Cary. chairman of the board of directors of that company. for the alleged gift of half million dollar necklace to his wife. saving that the money to pay for it had been wruns from honest workingmen This attack upon the home affairs of 
 pronounced an insurGent as Mir Will jam R Hearst who called attention to the fact that Judge Gary had made no such gift and. in addition, stated the undeniable fact that if he had done so. it was none of Mir Bran deis' business
 Branjeis lives in Boston. The Cnited States Steel Corporation does not operate in that city and Brandeis probably knows very little about it And whatever that company may or IL is the largest employer of labor in the United States. and it has the highest priced labor in the United States. There are workmen in the employ of that company-not office men. but, men who work in the mills who earn '25 and more day The men who earn from $50 to sl0 a day are legion.
 There is another thing. Forty thou sand of the employees of the United States Steel Corporation are stock holders in the concern. Isn't it rather strange that these employees should
