Temple here last night opposed
strikes on tho theory they coult

capital. He defended child labor
laws and advocated a strict immi-
grafton law.
Strikes might easily be avert.

both labor and capital would
meet around council tables sixty
days before a strike instead OF
waiting sixty days after" he said
There is no one who will ques'
ton the right of labor to organize
1t has the same right as capital &c

"The man who advocates cheap
labor is not much Of an American
