the world is now so sharply drawn
that the welfare of if not the very
peace of the nation rests in the sDa--
ance. says tn American Press:
The rumbling complaint OF LABOR mas
reached alarming proportions, and the
groans of capital have grown in vol
ume until today our national prosper
ity is threatened. 1t is situation
that must be faced, a problem that
must be solved. 1t is not an lmpOss1-
bic problem, but it is an issue that
cannot be decided with fnality by the
dictated statement of any one man or
anv one group of men. The merits or,
capital and the contentious OF labor
must go before the bar OF public op1n-
ion. the verdict must be rendered by
the peoples voice.
There is only one way this can be
accomplished. The facts as they are
seen and believed both by workers
and by capitalists must be frankly set
forth in the newspapers OF the coun-
try. They must be told in clean cut
advertising. The public must be en-
lightened. They must hear both SIDES
of the story. This cannot be done by
conversation or by speecnmaking, nor
can the old time dark lantern methods
of the press agent be made by either
side to serve other than a dangerous
and destructive purpose.
Both those who lead in industrial
DEVELOPMENT of the country and those
who hold the reins for workers IN the
world must realize in the clearest
possible manner the danger that now
confrOnts us. Both sides must rear
