Mr.. Galbraith spoke in parts as fol-
lows:
why are you here today in such
large numbers. Undoubtedly in an
honest effort, individually and collect
lively, to better your condition. To bet
ter the condition of the Finnish Amer
lean and the Americanized Finn. And
i'm whatever degree you succeed, col
lectively and Individually, in better
ing your condition. you have done n
valuable service TO the counties of
Houghton and Keweenaw, Ia the entire
copper country and to the the state
and nation at large. Insc far as you
better the conditions under which you
live and better your own material,
moral and intellectual wesl-being. YOU
better the community and the state.
"Is that not so? II that statement
is true. therein lies complete refuta-
ton and Impeachment of the teachings
of the leather-lunged, brass-throated,
iron jawed mercenaries who have been
seeking to instill the ranking venom
of class hatred into the minds and
hearts of the people OF the iron and
copper countries of Upper Michigan
for the past ten years. The advantage
of one group of our citizens is the adj
vantage Of all. There is no necessity
of class hatred, OF class antasonsm.
Jesus of Nazareth was sent into the
world and spent the days of his minis
try i'm teaching the doctrine of love, in
giving form and life to the ten COM
mandments. to the new commandment
and to the beatitudes and that minis
try. and that doctrine has conquered
the savagery of the world and given us
twentieth century civilization with It's
culture, and it world wide benevolence.
