HONORABLE METHODS

An informal agreement has been reached by which coal miners, railway workers and longshoremen will work together ''to apply every honorable method to obtain adequate wages" No one will find any fault with that, It was the use of dshonorable and unpatrlotlc methods back in 1916 that brought certain
 labor unions into popular disfavor. There was not, is not and can not be any justified tion or defense for the method by which the
 enactment of the infamous Adamson law was secured. Any man, whether unionist or not, who defends the method applied then, will find himself in disfavor. Any group or orga- nization that uses it's power to dictate terms to the American nation will find it's power destroyed either by legislation or by the force of public opinion. It is the right of every man to accumulate all he can by the use of ''honor- able methods'' and if labor unions find them selves out of favor with the public they can blame those of their leaders who resorted to dishonorable methods-methods which threat aned our continued national existance. It IS we'll to remember that the man who chooses the methods he will employ is not the ultimate judge of whether they are honorable or not.
