demned radicalism, stated that the

to strikes and loekouts as a method
of settling industrial disputes. and
insisted that a court of arbitration

new industrial court bill have fair
and impartial judges and that capt
court which might not be accorded
to labor.

vice, of the secretary, ]. c. Mohler
and his assistants was commended
