OF labor was evidenced than when
labor leaders held stop watches on
members of Congress while they
voted. The injustice in the Adamson
case, he said. was accentuated by the
fact that the men who overawed
congress were the aristocracy Of
labor, the representatives of the four
principal unions of trainmen who,
while speaking or pretending to
speak for labor. saw only that their
own wallets were to be cared for.
while they let the common labor the
trackmen. the ditch-diggers and all
the others go hang.
The Kansas law, he said. was to
protect labor against unjust capital
and to protect capital against un-
just labor. and to protect the public
against either or both.
Kansas had high hopes, an ardent
desire for one big union. He hoped
capital and labor would see its
