The quota of the First Baptist

"The right of individuals to strike
is inviolate," cotntinued the message,
"and ought not to be interfered with
by any process of government, but
there is a predominant right, and
that is the right of the government
to protect all of its people and to as
sert it's power and majesty against
the challenge of any class"
The president was referring to the
government recent in un t i 0 n
against the coal strike.
The message closed with pointed
reference to radicalism and red doc
triaes and referred to Russia today
with its blood and terror" as ga pain
full object lesson of the power of
minorities."
"There are those in this country"
said the message, "who threaten di-
rect action to force their will upon
a majority. 1t makes little diff
ference what minority it is; whether
capital or labor, or any other class,
no sort of privilege will ever be per-

Orderly processes, the message de-
clared, were the only ones by which
relief and reform could be obtained.

without seizure of the mines.
