Ceremonies
Able Addresses by Judge Wanamaker, VIM. H
Cocanour and Geo. H. Hamilton Deliv-
red to Appreciative Audience

own great government, the best and
freeest in the world, holds with labor
and its demands for united action for
better conditions and more equitable
distribution of the wealth of the
world; it acknowledges that the work
er has the right to a wage commen-
surate with the cost of living decent
ly, to educate his children and then
have some for recreation, and my
friends with all that has been charged
against organized labor there is one
truth that stands out plainly to those
who want to see, who are not hypo-
critical in all their works, and that is,
that no real Trade Unionist ever was
or ever will be what is now called
Bolshevist. We are the Government,
and we will never do ourselves
wrong; we have convinced the world
that human rights are paramount to
property rights. Let US keep faith
with ourselves; let US be true to our
selves, and it needs must follow as the
night follows the day, that we can
not then be false to any one.
Our program is an excellent one,
and we have an honored and distin-
guished friend of the people whom /
know you all want to hear so | shall
conclude by saying | am pleased to
see those who are present and thank
you for your interest in this day.
