This is the first case OF importance

soHstions OF an attorney, although
Workman has won minor cases by the
same art At other times he has not
introduced his faculty for initiating
others. but he is known to possess il.

courtroom is always crowded with
spectators TO see and hear him. Jurors
do not object to sitting in a case
where Workman is one OF the aitor-

Another ground for appeal in the

ton that Attorney Workman sang o

Organized labor must take immedi-

TO make further progress anywhere.
The unions must cease their fragrant

arbitration to which by their vote they
agreed 10 submit their grievances and
demands. Proof Of the good faith OF
the labor unions must be firmly re-
established before IL will be worth
while TO discuss any other phase Of the
industrial question now presented.
If present conditions are permitted
to continue, labor's program will soon
be stopped, not from the efforts OF its
opponents, but from the internal dis
cord in its own organization. Labor,
it may be judged from its present atti-
tude, viii not accept responsibility for
anything. il wants all the profits and
benefits but will not share in the
losses that may result. The whole
principle OF collective bargaining rests
upon collective responsibility and col
lective good faith. In many OF the
present strikes labor has reduced its
contracts TO scraps OF paper and by
such methods has threatened the an
Inhalation OF everything it has achieved.
No temporary peace between capi-

subject is too big Conditions must
be brought about that will enable us
to use the vast opportunities in domes-
