of solidarity. The business inter- ests of Seattle stand behind the em. ployers on the water front. They speak in no uncertain terms in the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. Their solidarity is no myth and without that same kind of solidari- ty among all working classes, our struggles however just, however worthy however bravely conducted are doomed to defeat.
 The workers anywhere need not peddle to themselves. The just cause just because it is just cause, wins no battles. In the class struggle the Almighty still fights on the side of the biggest battalions, still sup ports the cause manifesting the most earnest solidarity. Economic might against economic might is the only way to win, and until the workers act together and fight to- gether regardless of craft distinc- tions they will go down in defeat.
 The Seattle men are putting up a noble fight. They have had to fight against foes which are interruptions and enormously wealthy. They are fighting against foes who have been tasting of the fruits of enormous and unusual profits, laden and prideful with their loot of the ma. tional and the Alaskan commerce. They face a campaign of vilification and islander, and they dare to be still brave of heart and with cour- age as determined as ever.
 They deserve the support of the people of Alaska. They are the peo- ple who have labored to up-build this territory just as much as those who labored in the territory itself. It is the labor of all that contri- butes to the national well being, and without labor there would be no development any where, at any time.
