The attitude of the attorney gener-

may partake somewhat of the humo1-

When state officer proclaims that
an expression of sympathy with strik-

or free press" but "a question of
obedience to law" it becomes EVIL

something up-to-date and radical, has
adopted a policy in industrial affairs

it is made a crime to take sides dur

free speech but the phrase.
A state government that harbors
an arbitrary industrial court would
naturally support that court in an
extension of it's powers even to the

taken the step; its industrial court
has developed inta star chamber
