 Changes of Heart
 How different are the sentiments expressed in the letter just read from the expressions contained in the gov ernOr's message on the subject of un- lawful depOrtations. Was there any law in the statutes that permitted the driving the men from their homes in 1916 that was not there in 1917. or must the governors change of heart be accounted for by the fact that iJ was his friends who did the depOrting ir the one case while it was those who were not always in accord with his policies who did it in the other. In referring to this matter I do not wish 10 be considered as discussing the mer- its of the strike at Clifton and Nor enci. l know nothing of the merits of the demands of the striking miners. only know that if it was wrong "a deport men and drive them from their homes in the one case it was wrong in the other
 MT President: I doubt not that be- cause of my remarks made here to- day I shall be charged with being a corporation hireling and an enemy Of labor unions. But those charges have eminated so frequently from the state house as the only answer that could | be given to honest opposition of the policy of the chief executive that they have lost their force. That l am the attorney for two mining companies. l don't deny. but those companies get only so much of my legal service as they pay for. my conscience and my
 right to think are my own. As an at- ! torney l have the right to sell my services to a corporation but l reserve | the right to serve whenever else 1 please No laboring man with a just cause has ever been turned away from my office without my help being given l. him. The records of the courts of this state will show that have fought the
 battles of labor against corporations with the best efforts l possessed and
 that too without a dollars remunera- tion. but on the other hand expending
 my own money in behalf of my client. ! l do not say these things in a boast | ful manner but in order that my mo- tives in addressing these remarks to you may be understood.
 May I ask, Mir. President, when t
 was that our chief executive became | imbIed with sIcn an intole~an. hatred
 of men who are only suspecte.i of ha1- Ipe committed public offense when it
 Was only a few years ago that his love | for the criminal class was so great | that ne journsyed from the capitol at | l'hoeniX to the tate pr 'sOI at Flor
 ence for the mere privilege of sleeping
 with a convicted criminal in a felOn' s cell. Is it becoming of him. who has caused the prisCn dO-rs to Ee opened and murderes who had not served i their term of sentence. to be turned ! 'ocse on the public to now come before this honorable body and in language
 worthy only of an I. w. w. soap box orator accuse and condemn men who as yet stand uncOnvicted of any wrOn 3 doing Are we 10 conclude from those ! things, Mir President, that the con- victed burglar and house. breaker. the murderer and rapist, are deserving Of
 more consideration in the eyes of the governor than that most honorable citizen of our state, Major John C. Greenway, who gave up position, home and friends to fight for his country, that hero who at this moment. in this terrible German drive that is now be- ing waged, is probably leading his men toward against the German enemy to almost certain death? l leave it to you to decide as between the l. ". w. and this hero fighting in France which of the two is the better citizen. "Mr. President, has it come to pass
 in this great state that only that in dividual who dares to be the author ..f Q hook containing treasOnable re- marks against the government can ap- proach the seat of the executive pow CT? May God forbidl But, sir, nevertheless hold before me a booklet entitled The Revolutionary I. W. w by Grover H. Perry. in which I find the following insult to OUT nag: The
 flag and symbols that once meant great things to us today mean nOth- ing but oppression and tyranny. The Industrial Workers of the World ars laying the foundation of a new gov ernment; no force can stop them armies will be of no avail; capitalist governments may isIue their man dates in vain Those reasonable words were printed in that book anl circulated in our state by Grover H. Perry in the year 1916 and sir. Grover H. Perry Is the I. w.
