He explained that he had asked for
the privilege Of appearing before the

off the business of this world was
transacted by the golden rule we
would not need any labor organiza-
tons. But it isn't. Business is done
on the law of the jungle. Everybody
gets what he can, and holds it as long
as he can.
"All the monopolistS say that the
closed shop is wrong. They all be-
lieve everybody has a right to work
if he wants to. They do not think of
the inalienable right of a man not to
work if he doesn't want to.
"They say also that if the trade
unions had their way nobody would
work unless he belonged to the union.
That is true. But there are a lot of
other unions besides labor unions. In
fact, all the labor unions know is
what others have taught them to do
that is why many of the things
they 90 are so wise. When it comes
to a closed shop the labor unions are
skinned to death.
ave (the lawyers) have a power
full union. Nobody finds any fault
with the lawyers union. What could
you do with the lawyers union?
Everyone who has anything to do
with the running of the government
is a lawyer. All the working men in
the country have less influence when
it comes to making the laws than one
great corporation."-Clarence Darrow,
