labor for many years and has INDUCED in
much special pleading. But that is expected
of him. He is an advocate and not Judge.
The business of the advocate is TO make out
the best possible case for the interests which
he is defending. But with all his special
pleading Mr. Gompers has persistently sup
ported the present social system under which
both employer and cmploye enjoy the oppor-
tunities of making as much out of themselves
as their abilities can command. He has
simply fought for n fair share Of the pro-
ceeds Of labor for the laborer, with proper
consideration for the share that Is due to the
employer. The radicals demand that labor
get everything.
