why Labor Is Restless.

"Labf has been restless he said,
because the word has gone forth that
iron steel men are making zoo to
400 per cent profit. and that Shipping
mining. and other great Industries are
getting excessive returns.
This feeling on the part of labor
has been justified. In my investigation
OF the coal industry in the east it was
shown that operators in some instances
extorted SIS and Sc for coal that cost
them $3.50.
Il have said to labor that this is nc
time to insist on union recognition and
no time to insist on changes i'm labor
standards. But I also want to say t.
YOU employers that his is no t.me Il
stand on your prejudices. no time L

take advantage of your country's ne
