If the big fellow don't come across with pro- lection. let them peddIe their own booze, or leave the whiskey in bond and frame their certificates"
 Expert corporation lawyers are in charge of the moneyed interests and are working night and day perfecting plans to move the booze and release the money tied up in certificates.
 The bootleggers' strike will be an interesting one to watch. We may yet see pickets representing the boot leggers' union outside our big banks warning prospective purchasers not to purchase of said banks

Denouncing the platform and analyzing each of the labor union leaders demands, Judge Gary said:
 Antithesis of Equality
 0The platform of labor union lead CTS is the antithesfs of the principle Of equal opportunity. From the writ ten demands of labor union leaders l quote:
 Standard scale of wages in all trades and classifica.hons of workers
