 He is a strong believer in collective dealing with labor and by study and actual experience has become a promt- nent exponent of the employees re- presentation plans. His writings on this subject have met with general approval.
 For the past seventeen years he has devoted himself to the study of the labor question and has been engaged in labor litigation as counsel for, em- ployers and employees before numer- ous State and Federal Courts through out the country including the United States Supreme Court. These cases involved fundamental principles of great importance.
 He recently argued the case of the Duplex Printing Press Company of Battle Creek, Mich., vs. Deering be- fore the United States Supreme Court This case involving the labor pro- visions have 1egalized the secondary boycott.
 He has been a contributor to the literature oil this SuDJecI Chrough some of our best magazines and has frequently spoken from the public forum upon many phases of the in- dustrial question.
 His views are progressive and lib eral and show a remarkable inde' pendence of thought and freedom from prejudice.
 He believes the time has come wher public opinion should be clarified a! to the fundamentals underlying tht ! industrial question, if an inpasse be | tween capital and labor IS 10 bt averted, and the constitutional right | and liberties of our people are to bt preserved.
