there will be no end to Its demands. The
members of the labor group hurl violent

they claim are automatically ruling a

as bad as rule by an individual sovereign
The public heretofore has sympathtzed

But now that labor has succeeded so well
in shaking off that yoke and seems to be

IF labor wins the coal strike | think IT
will mean that they are to be on top per-
manently and it would behoove the pres-
ent generation to send its sons to the
coal mines and the steel mills instead nf
to college. For with labor on top the COL
lege men and women will be unable to
demand as much as they are demanding
at present. and those who are following
educational lines are demanding precious
little now 1t is time for the public--the
millions of workers who belong neither 10
the labor group nor the employers group,
to assert themselves for we are the ones
that are paving the increased wages OF
the workmen as well the immense
profits of the EMPLOYERS"
