! So Anarchy Depl0Teu
! Nh A'There are some organizations in

want to enter my protest against any
manifestation of the spirit of lawless-
ness anywhere or in any cause. Why,
gentlemen, look what it means. We
claim to be the greatest democratic
people in the world and democracy
means first. of all that we can govern
ourselves. H our men nave not self con-
ltrol then they are not capable of that
great thing which we call democratic
government. A man who takes the law
into. his own hands is not the right
man cooperate in any form or de-
Ivelpment of government and institu-
Ition. And some of the processes by
which the struggle between capital and
labor is carried ON are processes that
come very near taking the law into
your own hands. II DO not mean for a
moment TO compare them with what /
have just been speaking of, but / want
lyou to see that they are mere gradua-

iingness to cooperate and the fonda
mental lesson of the whole situation is
THAT we must not only take common
icounsel but that wes must yield to and
obey common counsel Not all of the
Iinstrumentalities for this are at hand.
II am hopeful that in the very near fu-
lture new instrumentaliIies may be or
Iganized by which we can see to it thai
various things that are. now going on

lcesses of the dilution of labor and the
unnecessary substitution of labor and

fairly unsetting the whole competition

mean now on the part of employers
land we must interject into this some
Iinstrumentality of cooperation by
which the fair thing will be done all
laround. L am hopeful that some such
may be devised, but
whether they are or not, we must use
those that we have, and upon every oc-
casion where it is necessary to have
such an instrumentality, originated up
on thar occasion, if necessary.
