which works neither for the benefit OF
labor nor OF society as a whole.
Mr.. Taft spoke OF the Clayton act, but
was not severe in his criticism. He pointed
out that trade unions have given labor
a power equal in its influence to thar OF
the combinations OF capital. that the
workmcns compensation law had in many
cases gone too far and must he remedied
because OF It's too great burden on en-
ployers, that labor leaders have not been

sisted upon the same degree OF rigid
supervision OF the action OF labor COM
binations tina, Il has demanded for the
combinations of capital. There has been
constant struggle for good many
years on the part OF organized labor to
avoid the effects OF common law prin-
ciples In the enforcement Of the anti-lrust
law. In other words. organized labor has
attempted TO establish itself as a privi-
legged class.
